of opium has settled a lawsuit for 270—million dollars. some of the latest on brexit a bit early for there is more to tell you about now. here's the eu's michel barnier. hello. what do you make of events the fall—out continues from this in the british parliament? all eyes are on the moment in the house of commons. british parliament. but they're not just watching what's happening in westminster, the ayes to the right, 329. they're commenting on it, too. the noes to the left, 302. philippe lamberts, a green mep from belgium, made this scathing remark in the european parliament this morning. that was parliament seizing control of the brexit process there is one lesson that we have from the government. learned from theresa may's attitude is her inability to factor it means that tomorrow we'll have in what others think, what are called indicative votes — her inability to forge bonds this is where mps express their feelings on a range of brexit options. of trust within her cabinet. the government's downplaying the whole thing. we've seen that last night again. within, between her cabinet and the house of commons, obviously. which is a decent description but also within the european council.

she must be totally devoid of the last few months to be honest. of the basic human skills that you need to be a political leader. laura kuessenberg hasjust and that is scary. published her analysis and writes "there is a very strange mood around the place in westminster, asi ahead of what could be a very messy as i say, he did not hold back. and tricky day tomorrow." we have not seen these boats since 2003. -- and as this article by katya highlights, there's no we have not seen these boats since 2003. —— these boats. joy at the developments —— these boats. and this government defeat was another example of how in parliament last night. the prime minister has lost control of her mps. 30 rebelled this time. and three ministers you can get more insight from her on resigned in the process. this article at the website. richard harrington was a business minister. in fact, a palpable sense in his resignation letter he said of frustration in the eu. "i regret that the government's one person did seem excited. approach to brexit is playing roulette with the lives and livelihoods of the vast majority of peope in this country." he's spoken too. as a democratic person, my aim as a politician was to try and deliver what the public voted for, but that is not

at the price of suicide. now, parliament has to decide. let's see. alistair burt was a here's adam fleming in strasbourg. foreign office minister. he says "now is the it really depends who you speak to. moment when the pm has to listen and try something else — some people think all of this says he has other colleagues is a recipe for the uk leaving still in government willing to walk the eu without any deal at all because itjust if no ten resists a compromise." can't agree on one. other people think this is a recipe for the uk staying but it's important to note, even if in the eu for much longer, the prime minister is listening — but potentially causing lots of problems for the eu these indicative votes aren't legally binding and the prime mininster doesn't as brexitjust drags out need to act on them. here's the leader and consumes evermore political of the house on that. oxygen, where there's other stuff that the eu ought the prime minister has set out to be grappling with. and then you have others who are optimistic that this the facts, which is that parliament could lead either to a much closer future relationship between the uk and the eu than the one the british government has been pursuing up till will set out its views, now or perhaps even a reversal but as government, we can't necessarily deliver on it. of the entire brexit process, the prime minister has always been clear. a revocation of article 50, it is a negotiation between or another referendum in the uk ourselves and the european union. and if parliament expresses a view, where the deal is put it may be entirely undeliverable. to the british people. thank you. so there is a whole chris mason in westminster spectrum of opinion. a lot to chew on here. what mps be

all we really have to get our teeth able to vote which ever way they into on the eu side, though, wa nt able to vote which ever way they is what eu leaders signed up to last want tomorrow? it is not 100% week, that two—tiered approach confirmed want tomorrow? it is not 10096 confirmed exactly how they will be to extending the brexit process. able to vote. 0r whether they will be whipped or told by party managers does theresa may's deal get through this week before the 29th of march? to vote in a direction. but fear is in which case, brexit would be suddenly a climber for many it has extended to the 22nd of may to give the uk time to put its domestic to bea suddenly a climber for many it has to be a free vote otherwise there is legislation in place. little likelihood of being able to find out where there might be the 0rfailing that, the uk has until the 12th of april to come up potential for consensus because the tribal nature westminster is one of with a way forward that can satisfy the things that is contributed to the things that is contributed to the eu and then we go from there. the current logjam what we are getting a sense of this evening care if there is no way forward is that the kind of idea that are that is found that pleases both sides or pleases the british parliament being thrown down and could be voted and the british government on tomorrow. we will not find out and the eu side by the 12th until tomorrow which ones have been of april, then that is the new date selected by the speaker the house by which the uk would leave for a vote but we are getting some without a deal at all. idea of those being suggested. ranging from revoking article 50 to translate, brexit, or suggesting we are trying to expend it as departments to deal could be clearly as we can but if he did not supported but it should be subjected get that down, this is all available to another referendum. —— the prime online at the website and the news minister posh macdill. labour have app. there's been a major

development in algeria. an idea of no policy, closer to the the head of the army has demanded that president bouteflika steps down, arguing he's not eu. all of those are being splurged fit to govern. in the direction of commons officials, we should probably find translation: we must find a way out out in the next half an hour or so of this crisis immediately where we are in terms of the number within the constitutional framework. that has gone down come speaker will that's the only guarantee then select a handful, half a dozen to conserve a stable political situation, during the course of play tomorrow and they will vote around seven a solution that will listen o'clock tomorrow night a paper ballot going into a basically to the demands of all algerian polling station within parliament, people and respect the constitution. have a piece of paper and say yes or mr bouteflika has been no to the half a dozen options and in power since 1989. around about this time tomorrow he's 82 and has rarely been seen in public since night, perhaps a little earlier, we a stroke six years ago. will find out what the result is.|j he'd initially said he would stand know this is not entirely easy to for president again in upcoming elections. gauge, but how important is tomorrow and that's when the protests began. given that theresa may can ignore everything that happened? given that theresa may can ignore everything that happened ?m given that theresa may can ignore everything that happened? it is not entirely easy to gauge but nothing is in this process. it is myjob to have a go. it will depend on how the we saw protest after protest on a significant scale. tens and sometimes hundreds results break down. if there was a of thousands of algerians have taken to the streets every friday clear will in the house for a for the past month.

the president then said he wouldn't stand again after all. particular outcome, it will be very but, crucially, he also ha rd particular outcome, it will be very hard for the government to entirely delayed the elections, and the protests continued. these are lawyers marching ignore it. it can end up driving against what they see as the president breaching politics even if it is one the the constitution government is not comfortable with. by staying in power. and we cut end up with a situation where either there is a majority of for quite a few options which might they are not having it at all with that idea. be contradictory or and perhaps more until today, the army had been loyal, and their changing likely, there isn't a majority for sides seems like it anything to him or there could be a could change everything. majority for something that contradicts the government election ma nifesto. they were not seen as being likely contradicts the government election manifesto. i think was elected upon. to shift, the army. crucially that involve getting out of the european union and leaving here's one us academic those to be economic structures of who studies the country... the single market and the customs union can. if it was asked by parliament to advocate in a approach and here's journalist in algeria that contradicted the perspectives who spoke to the bbc. on which it was elected, you can very easily find yourself on a our initial reaction everywhere was shock because this same army situation where people are chief was very pro—president suggesting a general election might be necessary. a british general election in 2015 coming one in 2017, going after a fifth term. the referendum in 2016, gosh, we could be an election territory he hinted initially that protests,

again. one thing i want to ask the mass protests we saw break about, the petition. the petition out across the country, he said that could be the result of interference by foreign powers. arguing the article 50 should be so for him to turn on the president and his claim has really shocked revoked. currently on over 5 million most people in algeria. we have to think that this was a very well organised move by the army chief because not only signatures. and we had the market over the was it televised on national tv, it was also taken up weekend. a lot of people asking by the national press agency. about these two events. are they this was really more of a message than anything. there is a lot of speculation, influencing the discussion inside of but some believe that they are the palace of westminster? people trying to be on the right side are aware of them. —— we had a march of history, that they felt like the tide was turning over the weekend. when you get that and they have to be more with people many people clock that. equally, the because the president was going to go anyways. this is all playing out reality is what16 million people in the capital algiers. and it's being watched very carefully in africa voted to remain so it is perhaps not and the middle east. surprising that there are millions algeria is a huge state, of people who are disenchanted by a big oil and gas producer. the process which never happened the here's another interesting comment from a policy expert at the international rescue first place what's up by parliament committee charity. will now be discussing and debating this all revoked article 50 petition because it is more than easily cleared the threshold to ensure that will happen and clearly there are some in the house of commons who

would love to see brexit counsel and some will express that well in the votes tomorrow night. the vast here's maher mezahi again on the manouevres being made to remove the president. majority the recognised that with without the stage, they will have to be seen delivering on that referendum result, you can have argument forever about what flavour article 102 stipulates that i brexit you would like to have, but if the president is unable to carry out his duties due to some kind of physical incapacity, as things stand, there still a clear then that there would be an interim and that is the president majority in the house to see brexit of the upper chamber of parliament. delivered one way or another. but which would be 45 days, and after that interim is assured, nothing seems ridiculous in this there would be 90 days to organise postcode any more. 0r new presidential elections. nothing seems ridiculous in this postcode any more. or to put it another way, as somebody did in so we're talking about a four and half month transition period, parliament today, and the view of which again some cynical voices this first and everything seems will say that there is enough time for the regime to try to reorganise ridiculous but that doesn't mean any of those possibilities are not itself and stay in power. possible. we are hearing and armchair bulimic uncharted territories, it is two of us up as any of these potential ideas can end let's move from north africa to the up any of these potential ideas can end middle east. on monday, hamas fired rockets up being the one that ends up standing at the end of it all. you at israel, israel carried out air strikes in gaza. today, efforts are under way will be there standing alongside it to establish a ceasefire. i'm sure you explain again. thank here's the united nations. in the past ten days, you. there have been two rocket attacks from gaza targeting -- i'm —— i'm sure be explaining it. the tel aviv area. they represent a very serious escalation.

while there's a lot of attention since the early hours yesterday, on tomorrow, the prime minister still hopes she can get her brexit my team and i have been working deal through at some point. intensely with egypt this may have improved her mood. and all concerned parties to ensure the situation does not spiral out of control. this is why i ask you all today tojoin the united nations jacob rees mogg is a leading in condemning the continued brexiteer: "the choice seems to be indiscriminate firing of rockets toward israel. mrs may 5 deal or no brexit." and he said this such acts of provocation only on his weekly podcast. dramatically increase the risk i've always thought that no deal of escalation and ultimately is better than mrs mays' deal, damage our collective efforts but mrs may's deal is better to support the people of gaza and than not leaving at all. inter—palestinian reconciliation. from a euro sceptic point of view, we must also call on all sides if it was somebody in my position to exercise maximum as well as a minority of mps restraint as the situation who want to leave, we have remains extremely tense. to recognise that what we want and what we can deliver is not and this is benjamin netanyahu necessarily the same at the israeli defence forces because of our lack of numbers. mr rees mogg was immediately headquarters in tel aviv. criticised — by his own side. and i can tell you we are prepared to do a lot more. we will do what is necessary to defend our people and to defend our state. this is the biggest escalation of tensions in months.

it started with a rocket attack early on monday that struck a house north of tel aviv. and remember — mr rees mogg was so against this deal that back israel says it was fired from gaza. in november he tried to bring down theresa may over it. dozens of israeli air strikes here's what he said at the time. on the gaza strip then followed. this opportunity is being thrown away. israel said it targeting the group if you look at the deal, our tariffs will be set hamas which controls gaza. by the european union and it will be illegal for us to these people in gaza are surveying to offer lower ta riffs. the damage and destruction. there were then barrages of palestinian rockets fired this is not brexit. this is a failure of government policy. at nearby israeli towns. it needs to be rejected. violence today has stopped. but israel has soliders and tanks she's talking about the european research group, on the gaza border and says it that's an alliance of pro—brexit reserves the right to strike again. tory mps. andrew bridgen is a member — the bbc‘s yolande knell is listen to him last night. on the israeli side of the border. it has been a noisy and nervous i can see a situation night here just a couple of kilometres away from the north on the withdrawal agreement if it were passed that ten of the gaza strip. years after the vote, we still would not have left and many of the people the european union, still stuck in the backstop, we would have here will have spent much

of the night in safe rooms paid the £39 billion, i think the european union believes in their houses and air raid that the prime minister shelters as there were, has negotiated badly, she's in a weak position. according to the israeli military, and i think they want to break that. some 60 rockets and mortars that were fired over the course ofjust a few hours from the gaza strip and i think they want to bank that. they are so desperate for us to sign towards southern israel. now, you can see around me things this withdrawal agreement, are starting to come back to life, because then it really won't matter but actually schools have been who the next prime minister is. closed here, emergency services are just running on skeleton staff they will be completely hamstrung going into those negotiations. the former brexit secretary, and you can see the same sort david davis, is calling on mps to support mrs may's deal. of situation in some of the nearby israeli villages as well. it is not a good deal, in gaza, the israeli military says but the alternative that it hit dozens of sites it says is a complete cascade of chaos. that is what i said a week ago. were connected to militants, and that is what you are seeing. particularly to hamas, you are seeing all the amendments now, trying to wrench control which of course rules gaza. among the sites hit, of the negotiation away from the government. the offices of the leader of hamas. that will be a disaster. you can see a big fireball and you are seeing proposals being put out which are all as his office was hit in gaza city. worse than her proposal. and there have been those reports of a cease—fire, crucial to all of this comments coming from the united is the democratic unionist party from northern ireland. so far it's ten mps have voted nations. against theresa may's deal —

despite being pro—brexit. also know that egypt him which is often the go—between for israel and hamas, if they don't come across, has neen working very hard theresa may's task looks to try to bring back some calm here. close to impossible. this is the dup's brexit certainly, it has been calm for a number of hours. but people here really are still spokesperson today. in a kind of wait—and—see mode. stay with us on 0utside is there any chance of us changing our minds on it? source, still to come: unless there are significant changes to the agreement itself, no. actorjussie smollett has all 16 charges because this agreement as far against him are dropped. as we are concerned is damaging he'd been accused of staging a hate to northern ireland. attack against himself. chicago's mayor calls the issue is the irish this a whitewash. border backstop which is in theresa may's deal. we'll be live with our correspondent for all the details. currently, there are no border posts or checks on the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. wild bees and hoverflies the backstop kicks in to ensure are disappearing from areas of great britain, things stay that way if there's no posing a potential future threat to agriculture, new uk eu trade deal by the end according to new research. of the proposed transition period here's our environment correspondent claire marshall. which is the end of next year. but to do that it has the potential so, this site shows you the problem. to treat northern ireland you have got lovely wildflowers differently to the rest of the uk here, which is what the pollinators

on trade with the eu — need, and then over there, and the dup won't have that. a typical english arable field, but there's no flowers, no insects and no other animals. this isn'tjust about insects, it's about our food security, sammy wilson penned this piece what we put on our plates. in the telegraph with the title: many farmers do all "we won't let the pm or the remainer they can to help nature. julian gold is one of them. horde in parliament bully us into backing a toxic brexit deal." agriculture has got to learn how to live in harmony with nature. christopher hope, daily telegraph... it's all very well producing food, but we don't want to destroy the food factory at the same time. also at stake is the colour palette of the english landscape. here's rajdeep sandhu on the power all these wild flowers that people like seeing in the countryside, most of them depend on pollinators. struggles in westminster. if you don't have those pollinators available, it is quite a complex picture as you will see a decrease in their ability to maintain in the wider environment. with everything to do with brexit. there are fears that familiar visitors to our gardens and to the wider countryside so you have the european research will have less to eat. group and the thinking is that there's all sorts of different if you can get them on board birds, from flycatchers to sparrows, which are all dependent on this to theresa may's deal, rich, vibrant life, the flying life out there, that this report tells us you would pretty much be able to smooth you way through parliament is declining across the uk. and get a withdrawal deal. now, they are not really one homogenous group. some good news did they do not all think the same way. come out of the study.

these bee species help to and they are actually pollinate flowering crops, different with the varying and their numbers are increasing. opinions within them. so you have the likes there are also key steps ofjacob rees—mogg, that can be taken. who you talked aboutjust then, instead ofjust big saying the choice now prairies of wheat fields, is between this deal or no brexit you've got grass strips, at all and him saying that flower margins, strips actually, if the democratic unionist through the middle of fields, party came on board, just trying to increase which is the part of the government the biodiversity in the field. relies on to keep them in power pesticides that can damage wild bee populations and keep going because theresa may are still being approved, has a minority government, then perhaps he can come so we need to put in place the right on board but actually, tests that make our pesticides there are only around say 20 conservative mps who have said safer for wildlife. similar things along the same lines that they would come on board if you are talking about somebody if the dup do. in their garden, for example, having a patch of their garden there's around 20 hard—core brexiteers conservative that they let wild plants develop, mps who pretty much, those can be really important for helping maintain those pollinators. whatever theresa may tried to do to make this deal approving, would probably never really come on board because what they want is a totally different type of brexit. and actually, it would probably this is 0utside source live be quite comfortable from the bbc newsroom. leaving without a deal, 0ur lead story is... which is something that many parliamentarians think would be mps in the british parliament have been submitting their proposals a bit of a disaster. for a series of votes to find an alternative to theresa may's

there's been a lot of speculation deal to exit the eu. that perhaps if theresa may promised to go, this would win some people over. can you help us understand why that might win some people over because people might think here are some of the main story from that her being in office or not is not really connected bbc world services. to the quality or otherwise the un has sent a team of the deal? of investigators to central mali, yes. where it says more than 150 people so we heard from a conservative mp were killed over the weekend. today that actually he thinks that it's believed they were attacked by militiamen would bring over a few more people from a rival tribal group. and would actually smooth that's from bbc afrique. the situation over and democrats in the us house get the deal through. of representatives have failed it is interesting because in an attempt to prevent donald trump from diverting federal funds towards building theresa may in the deal, a border wall with mexico. they couldn't muster so meshed together, you would think the two—thirds majority needed to overturn mr trump's veto. it was strange that she is basically saying back my deal and then i would leave or perhaps some conservative mps would want that to say that in order to get them that's from bbc world service radio. to vote for it. important report from and it is mainly because actually, paul adams in sierra leone. it is slightly painful to say this, it's about fish stocks this isn't really the big in west africa. event of brexit. there is still a whole second deal this is one of the most fertile to be done on the way the uk's fishing grounds in the world, relationship with the eu and how and they are in danger of collapse. we trade with the eu experts and environmental groups say

which would follow and actually, the actions of industrial fleets that brexit withdrawal deal, that is just the first from around the world, step and supposed to be especially china, are responsible. the easier of the two. here's paul's report. and the thinking is if theresa may says she will go and actually there will be a different leader this man has been fishing of the conservative party, a different prime minister in charge since dawn, and he doesn't have a whole lot to show for it. who would have a different vision and each side, depending on who you talk to, we are happy for this, would say their person would be because it is a small catch. in charge, so if you talk the good fish are gone, he says, to brexiteers, the ones theresa may is trying to appeal to, the message for them would be, theresa may would go all caught by foreign trawlers. and you can install your own brexit prime minister and they could really shape the future relationship to how they would want it. what would you like the government to do? stay with us on 0utside source — still to come... we would like the government to take this seriously. we'll be live in new york as a us drug—maker accused of contributing because it is hurting to thousands of deaths has settled fishing in this country. a lawsuit for 270—million dollars. sierra leone depends heavy on fishing for food and jobs. it is one of the poorest uefa has charged montenegro countries in the world. with racist behaviour civil war tore it apart in the ‘90s following the abuse suffered by england players and then came ebola.

in their euro 2020 qualifier but underwater, sierra leone is in podgorica on monday. facing a different kind of crisis. england won 5—1 but the match the ecosystem is disturbed, was overshadowed by racist chanting when it is destroyed, it is impossible to restore again. from some home fans directed even if you stop fishing at several england players, including danny rose. for decades, it takes a very long time to recover. wejoined sierra leone's only patrol boat. uefa said "disciplinary we are leaving in the dark proceedings" had been opened against montenegro with one charge because we are told there are people for "racist behaviour. here in freetown who will tell the trawlers that a marine patrol raheem sterling, who scored last night, called on football's vessel is on the way. authorities to take "a proper as we leave, satellite data shows stance" and crack down foreign trawlers are already on the racist abuse. scattering far out to sea. it is a shame, really. we follow, eventually boarding it was a massive team performance, on difficult ground, and a difficult place to come, chinese boats suspected of pair and we knew how difficult it would be. we knew it would be hard at times, suspected of pair trawling, and we stuck together as a team. and there were some great when two boats fish side by side performances today but then, 300—1100 metres apart just a couple of idiots, using a single huge net. it is efficient but destructive i'm biting my language, but a couple of idiots and illegal in sierra leone. the evidence is strong. ruined a great night. and the government and it is a real sad thing to hear, inspectors seem to agree. i didn't hear personally, but my team—mate danny heard it. but will it make any difference? so it is a sad thing to hear. you think you've done your best,

sometimes, and then you get this is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story is: mps in the british parliament have been submitting their proposals to the shore and they will tell for a series of votes to find you something different especially, an alternative to theresa may's with fishing companies asking why are you harassing my vessels, deal to exit the eu. what are you always doing this? over the course of three days, we see signs of indeterminate methods. sierra leone's fish stocks look at some of the main story from are in great danger. it is not hard to see why. bbc world service. back in freetown, the government the death toll from the flash floods says it is trying to get in iran has risen to 21. a grip on a system riddled much of country has been hit by torrential rains, with corruption and loopholes. snow and blizzards just as iranians were celebrating their new year. we will get to the bottom of it. bbc persian. that is a promise. a second major power cut in a few hours has brought the venezuela's capital caracasto a standstill again. other parts of the country to myself, and to the people, are affected too. we will definitely get the venezuelan government has told to the bottom of it. after our visit, the two chinese workers and students to stay at home for the next 2a hours. bbc mundo. vessels we boarded were tested. they were cleared of pair trawling nasa has been forced to call but lost their licenses anyway off its first all—female space—walk on grounds of poor sanitation. because it doesn't have enough the government has also banned all industrial fishing spacesuits that fit properly. for the month of april. it is an unprecedented move.

anne mcclain and christina koch had but these are still small steps. been due to install new batteries it will take much more to rescue this precious resource. at the international space station on friday. pauladams, bbc news, sierra leone. that's on our website. now in the us, the actor jussie smollett has all charges against him dropped. he was accused of faking over 1.5 million people a racist and homophobic in mozambique have now been attack against himself. affected by cyclone idai. this is a cctv image of the two alleged attackers. he said they'd beaten him and put and the un says thousands of a noose around his neck. surviors haven't received help yet. the police alleged he'd hired two already the death toll is over 400 acquaintances to attack him but it's expected to rise sharply. in a chicago street injanuary to promote his career. the port city of beira was almost he'd originally been charged with 16 counts, completely wiped out. but they've all gone. chicago's mayor has just called this a whitewash. here's jussie smollett nomsa maseko's visited a camp speaking after the decision. just outside the city. i want you to know that, not for a moment, was it in vain. beyond the airport in beira where international aid i have been truthful and consistent organisations have set up base, on every single level since day one. a tent of community such as this i would not be my mother's son one, hundreds were brought here. if i was capable of one drop of what i have been accused of. this is now nearly two weeks the state attorney's office says...

since the cyclone struck. the hundreds of people here have told me some harrowing stories. 0ne elderly woman told me how she saw water sweeping away her son, her only son. people are desperate here. people want help. but most of the things that's quite a shift from that they have told me what the chief said at the time. of the type of help they want empire actorjussie smollett took a re resources advantage of the pain and anger to rebuild their home. of racism to promote his career. i'm left hanging my head and asking why. it could be much worse for these people. because they are still thousands why would anyone, especially an african—american man, more who are still desperate use the symbolism of a noose for help and aid organisations are yet to reach them. a further update tomorrow. to make false accusations? a huge us drug—maker has reached it's fair to say the court's a 270 million dollar settlement in a lawsuit which claimed its opioids decision today took him by surprise. contributed to the deaths of thousands of people. purdue pharma is one of several do i thinkjustice was served? no. firms named in the claim. samira hussain in new york. what exactly is the firm admitting myjob as a police officer is to

investigate the ensign, gather the facts and evidence and present them that it did? this isjust one of the to the states attorney for so that is what we did and i stand by the several thousands of lawsuits that have been levied against perdue. and investigation. nada tawfik from la. well, it is interesting because here in this particular lawsuit, by the you have us prosecutors, state of oklahoma, they were just the cook county prosecutors, saying that they are happy with how this case was resolved one of the other several other drug after going over the facts companies that were named in this and circumstances of it, lawsuit with regard to their actions but at the same time closing with regards to 0xycontin. in this the case so that nobody really has insight into how they particular lawsuit, basically they arrived at this decision. have settled and have said that we and on the other hand, will contribute to building these you have the police department, organisations in these institutions the mayor of chicago sticking that will help with any sort of drug by their investigation, addiction and in addition, the family who owns purdue have also sticking by the fact that they think jussie smollett owes the city an apology, that he did lie to police. been going to contribute to this as so we have seen that kind of born well. presumably, there are out in different reactions from many regulations around which these companies promote these kind of who either side with smollett and see this as vindication products. that is really been the or those who don't really see as a kind of wiping

key, just to what extent there has the slate clean that he is in fact definitely innocent in this. been or what role this kind of if there's one person worth listening to on brexit, active marketing and promotion has it's this guy — sirjohn curtice. he's the uk's top polling analyst, had and that the prevalence of and he famously predicted the shock uk election results 0xycontin. and back in 2007, there in 2015 and 2017. we re 0xycontin. and back in 2007, there were people who work for the company who pled guilty to this aggressive today, he's published new research into public attitudes on brexit. let's start with a stark statistic — form of marketing. to both 7% of voters think the government is handling brexit well. here's professor curtice on that. regulators and to doctors in terms of prescribing this kind ofjoke. the problem has always been they the truth isabella are now deeply critical on the really haven't been forthcoming in way in which the uk government has terms of how addictive these drugs handled the brexit negotiations. are. should we anticipate other big around four in five of them think they have been handled badly by the pharma companies may be settling government and leave motors are other cases down the line? in the almost as likely as remain voters to hold that view. case of purdue, i think there are here's what he means. many people who are looking at this 85% of remain voters and saying, we have seen they settle say the government is handling things badly. these cases and since there are so and 80% of leave voters many more that are in the process, agree with them. here's some on the remain side from the march in london it is possible that we could see at the weekend.

more settlements because if you settle, it means some potentially the country is in a mess. brought on damning information, like just settle, it means some potentially damning information, likejust how aggressive people were within the by our government, their company to try and get doctors to prescribe this drug, they get to incompetence. it is absolutely gob actually keep that under wraps. thank you. smacked, blown away by the total next to the european parliament — arrogance and incompetence of the it's approved controversial changes relating to copyright law. prime minister. in the government whojust seem prime minister. in the government who just seem to prime minister. in the government whojust seem to be in a state of it makes online platforms and aggregator sites, like google, paralysis. and here's a leave voter, facebook and twitter, perhaps summing up the mood of the country. responsible for copyright i think the politicians are acting infringements, and supposedly like a pack of schoolkids in the funnels more revenue from those companies back to artists playground, fighting amount each other. at the end of the deck and the need to getjob done. and journalists. and that negativity extends to leave voter's views on getting a good dealfrom the eu. but people were worried about something called article 13 — they were worried it would result in banning user—created after the referendum in 2016, content like memes. only one in five brexiters thought britain would get a bad deal. there's now an exception for parody but today it's a different story now, roughly which deals with this concern. two—thirds of leave voters another controversial believe the current deal on the table is a bad one. section is article ii, that's on the deal, known as the "link tax", what about brexit itself? remain supporters have

it means publishers and aggregate jumped on other figures sites — such as google — in the survey today. have to pay a tax to sites to whom they link. emily nuttal wood is a copyright expert with kemp little, she says, the law will be the liberal democratjo swinson... difficult to enforce... interesting to see this development. in the 2016 referendum, remain lost with 48% of the vote. but today's polling figures put i think given the amount of petitions and campaigns remain on top, with 54%. and people on the streets speaking out against it, i think and the main reason it is a really landmark decision. for that is between then and now, enforcement wise, it kinda remains to be seen how it more young people have will actually be enforced. joined the electorate. this is a directive that here's professor curtice again. will not have direct effect. what will happen is it will have at the end of the day, the truth is to go into member states and how widely it is interpreted most voters would vote exactly the and enforced will be dependent on caselaw and how same way in a second referendum as the courts generally interpret it they did back in 2016. the polls do but i think the fear is what a lot of people are being concerned about is that platforms afraid of the ramifications of running not show a remain lead, not least afoul of these new reforms because those who did not vote to will have to put these kind of upload filters of there, and half years ago are decidedly new technology and mechanisms more pro—remain than pro—leave. to stop things, being uploaded that and half years ago are decidedly more pro-remain than pro-leave. see you soon, bye—bye.

should not and they may go too far. at the moment, you already have copyright protection hello. like any side about land, the for things that are yours. in theory, if i upload something to a platform that spring weather can lip about from shouldn't be out there, one extreme to another. that will then someone that i make i can happen over the next ten days. the complain or someone else who owns the copyright can complain. jet stream pushing north and keeping what these reforms do is make things mild and quiet. into the that the platform problem, it puts the onus on them to use best weekend and next week and a notice efforts to stop that stuff going up the jet stream returns and pushes there and to do that, more to the south, putting us on the and they may well need to put cold side with a chance of things in the technologies you are thinking of and the concern is that no turning that bit more turbulent. take a look at the forecast for machine, no ai, no technology can necessarily be sensitive to what is or isn't copyright sheffield for the next seven days at infringement as the human eye. least given that is how temperatures there is a reason things go rising to prayer relate with the jet to the court to decide strea m rising to prayer relate with the jet stream to the north but they plunge what is copyright infringement. can a machine that is doing that away as the winds pick up and turned automatically really colder. and then as i mentioned, the be sensitive enough? now in the us, the actor jet stream it to the north end as we jussie smollett has all charges have the high—pressure very static against him dropped. to the south. feeding in atlantic air which after a chilly start he was accused of faking a racist and homophobic across in areas with a bit of frost attack against himself. has been pleasant enough. a bit of sense shepherding for the cloud in england and well compared to will be we will tell you what happened in a sought during tuesday, especially in

minute. the cloudy areas. still more cloud in scotland and northern ireland with some rain and a small breeze. but 15 or 60 in aberdeen sure and hello. could hit 16 or 15 and could hit 16 time for an update on some of major weather patterns shifting oi’ could hit 16 or 15 and could hit 16 or 50 could hit 16 or 15 and could hit 16 or50 in could hit 16 or 15 and could hit 16 or 50 in some parts of england two. greater chance of cloud melting away in the world at the moment. and read a chance of mist and fog forming under the centre of this high—pressure with the winds are for north america, this system has brought some letter. the skies are clearest here. pretty hefty thunderstorms, hail and heavy because a ring see that expand a bit further to the east in the last 2a hours. northwards in much more sunshine now moving offshore, around uk wide, early morning mist high pressure will temporarily be behind it but channeling a lot and fog and frost will gradually of cold weather into the northeast clear away and brighter in the north of the us and eastern canada. and west of scotland with cloud coming and going in a chance of one further west, much milder. oi’ coming and going in a chance of one or two showers. but places in it watching this area of low pressure as it will roll in from the pacific double figures and 60 or 70 across to the middle part of the week aberdeen and could get to 17 in and the latter part of the week parts of central and eastern england and eventually bring cold air back in particular. high—pressure on the move thursday night into friday but again to the rockies and the plains still across england and wales and and potentially some heavy snow starting to reseed a little bit and for a time. allowing more of a brief develop in some big transitions in the weather the northern half of the uk in pattern across north america in the coming days in terms of seesawing temperatures return for cloud in western areas in and weather going from being really arena scotland. but the best of the quiet to very dramatic in a space sunshine through eastern wales, of just 2a hours.

central and eastern england and could see 17 or 18 celsius but 0ur lead picks this up quite nicely already notice the temperature changes towards the north. eight or because through parts of the central plains and up into the midwest, look at that transition. 9 degrees in stornoway. current thunderstorms in st approaches later in the day and louis and heavy rain. highs in the low 20s. bringing outbreaks of rain in that pushes its way southwards as we go australia, still some heavy rain into the weekend. saturday, chillier airon the move, into the weekend. saturday, chillier air on the move, brighter day in to come into queensland, scotla nd air on the move, brighter day in scotland and northern ireland but a few showers later, cloutier for england and wales in a weak front the remnants of a tropical storm now pushes its way southwards. uncertain tied up with their weather front how partial they will get there in pushing across new zealand. the day and staying with them, the that front in itself is punchy but it looks like we will continue air in the southeast corner with the with some of the heaviest brightness high around. that of the rain, we stay close to the reminisce of that circulation conflict moves away and in the across queensland all the way fresher air sunday but high—pressure through into the gold coast moving in sunday and that means with and a risk of some flooding here. letter went around to begin with him unsettled for the south along the eastern coast of australia, frosty start. blossoms of sunshine some isolated downpours for sydney on sunday but it will be a bit of a noticeable easterly breeze down from but for brisbane, some very weird the north across those eastern but for brisbane, some very wet areas. for the west, you will see a lot more sunshine but the weather in our outlook. plenty of rain as you already know temperatures but the stage dipping across parts of mozambique down to levels that should be a bit and malawi, courtesy of the cyclone. lower than normal. highs of seven to

11 degrees. that high—pressure is to the prospect here do look a little prayer in the start of the week and drier for the coming days. then low—pressure to the north takes cannot promise you entirely shower hold. which is a greater chance of free, we still see some seasonal rain in and then we go to the middle rain but things have backed off a little bit. pa rt rain in and then we go to the middle further north, the part of the week of opening the door to northerly winds, much colder air heaviest of the rain. sinking down and with low pressure for the african continent, than developing towards the southeast can that we will have i think thursday as a weather front drapes across northern morocco, easterly winds across the country. algeria and tunisia tied so it all sums up to the other way in with an area of low pressure that from the wants next week interns much colder and windier and there will make for stroms will be somewhat or whether at times in sicily and southern parts of italy on wednesday. in the end will be cold enough for some of the showers to turn wintry. north, high—pressure establishing across the northwest of europe, may be of sleet, snow and hail much lighter winds in recent weeks, certainly possible. it is all a lot more in the way of dry weather individually of spring. and as the day goes by, a little bit more on going to get milder than it has been of late. that will be the story closer to home. the biggest headache in the forecast for the uk in the coming days will be how much cloud we are likely to see around but certainly by the end of the week many areas could see temperatures pushing well into the teens but turning fresher again through the weekend. more in half an hour.
