#bbcthebriefing. didn't give us your take on the sports included in the olympics. expect of us your take. british mps have failed in their initial attempt to find an alternative to theresa may's brexit deal that could command a majority in the house of commons. all eight options that were put to votes last night — including a customs union and a further referendum — were rejected. earlier in the day, the british prime minister told backbench conservatives that she would resign — providing they approved her withdrawal agreement. here's our political correspondent, alex forsyth. once again, the prime minister was in parliament yesterday trying to sell her brexit plan and with so many of her mps set against it, she made one last big pitch to win them around. ata made one last big pitch to win them around. at a meeting inside parliament, she said she would quit

if they back to exit deal, making way for someone else to take over the second stage of talks which did convince some tories. with the prime minister saying what she said, the majority in that room see this now is the best way to get us out to deal with that in future. is the best way to get us out to deal with that in futurelj is the best way to get us out to deal with that in future. i am encouraged she has accepted we should have a new leader for that second stage when it comes so i think i will now vote for the agreement. but with views on brexit so agreement. but with views on brexit so entrenched, will it be enough? other tories say they still won't tobacco deal and crucially they didn't get northern ireland's du p onboard. we wanted to get a deal that worked for the whole of the united kingdom, that worked for northern ireland but now we're in a situation where we can't sign up to the withdrawal agreement on its own the withdrawal agreement on its own the prime minister decided to go for that backstop. meanwhile mps would debating alternatives to theresa may's plan but have eight options, they could not agree on anyone. the

results of the process this house is gone to today strengthens our view that the deal the government has negotiated is the best option. many don't agree with that and say other options did prove popular. they will debate them again on monday. leaving with a customs union or referring this back to the people with the option to remain, those of the two most popular options. you would think perhaps those are the ones that should go forward forjudgement on monday. for now though parliament is still deadlocked, struggling to agree on anyway forward. alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. mark davis is here today and a keen watcher of all of this. the last time we talked, we were at college green. give us your reaction to what happened last night. everybody will be in despair, eight votes in no way

forward. the reason is, people are still voting on the basis of purity. they are not saying, this is where i would be prepared to compromise. the whole point of the eight votes was to establish where compromise could be found. when people are only ticking one of those eight boxes rather than saying, i could sort of live with this and that, that's explored further, it means we don't make any progress at all. business in the general public will be going nuts. in terms of where most boats went, the idea of ken clarke got a lot of backing, the customs union. the idea of a people's vote got a strong reaction. things like no deal, it was clear that parliament doesn't like that idea at all. at the same time, they voted against the same time, they voted against the idea. revoking article 50 of the events no deal is looming. lots of contradictory votes that took place

and that's what makes the position so and that's what makes the position so complicated. of the 55 conservative mps who still oppose the deal, some oppose because they wa nt to the deal, some oppose because they want to know deal, like steve baker and some because they want us not to leave the eu, like dominic grieve and justin greening. you have people with conflicting views and the only thing that unites them is opposition. we can't move forward with that, we need compromise. we need to decide ultimately, the government is trying to govern and is being told no, no, no. the people who keep saying no, at some point, they've got to think about themselves in a governing sense and say, what are we going to say yes to? mark is back later. we will be looking at some of the analysis to

all that in the media. also we have all that in the media. also we have all the latest developments with regards to brexit. you will find analysis there. the latest thoughts from our correspondence and plenty of background. everything you need. the news app is there to download as well. we will return to brexit later. the eu says it's ending navy patrols for migrant ships in the mediterranean after a request by the italian government. tens of thousands of people have been rescued by the patrols, with many of them having been sent to italy. air patrols are expected to continue until september. mediterranean. facebook has announced it will block "praise, support and representation of white nationalism and separatism" from it's platform from next week. it's come under increasing pressure to act on far right activity after a gunman livestreamed the attack on two new zealand mosques in which 50 people were killed.

the ban will also apply to instagram. two people have been killed and three injured in a series of shootings in the us city of seattle. the gunman shot at a number of vehicles, before killing a man while stealing his car — killing another motorist in a collision. the suspect has been arrested but there is no indication yet of their motive. venezuelans are enduring a third day of nationwide power cuts — the second outage this month. the cuts have severely affecting water supplies, transport and communication services. schools and work places remain closed. everyday items like cotton buds and take away food containers are among ten single use plastics which will cease to exist across europe after 2021. eu lawmakers have voted to introduce new laws enforcing the ban which could also impact the uk, if brexit is delayed. freya cole has more.

this is what a united parliament looks like. european lawmakers voting overwhelmingly in favour of banning ten single use plastics by 2021. that is just two years to adjust to life without items like plastic straws and cutlery, takeout containers and cotton buds. it is after a sea of process from younger generations, stories of dying wildlife, and china's decision to stop processing foreign waste, which forced urgent action to an urgent problem. the new laws will ultimately come at a cost to business. translation: so, yes, it has a cost. it is just that i decided to make

less profit to have a small impact. this brussels cafe ownerjust one already tojump on board. i think we have a responsibility. we have to make an effort for the planet and for other people. eu countries can choose their own methods to reduce single use plastics and tobacco companies will be forced to cover the cost of cleaning cigarettes. as for individuals, it will be a hit to everyday convenience, but an effort which will help keep beaches clean and oceans clear. let us talk about brexit further. to get the view from outside the uk, welcome to the briefing. how is all this being perceived in italy? there

is much interest because as you may be no, in the uk, there are 700,000 italians living here, so every family has a friend or relative living in the uk. so many people follow the news. there is concern because of the huge number of people in the uk but i also see that there is more and more interest in the

more technical aspects of brexit, especially what is going on now. when indicative votes, and all that stuff. just a brief in as well, in italy, you have a populist government, recently elected, led by giuseppe conte. there is a great feeling among some in italy that they want to leave the european union. is there interest in how they are getting on in the terms of what italy is thinking about? absolutely, this is the other main reason of interest that you can find in italy in brexit because in the past, a few representatives of the incumbent populist, they expressed their

desire to leave the european union. that's why not many italians are very interested in what is going on here in the uk. is the way it's going putting off leaving? many of them see that is sort of an experiment. now, many italians say, those are the consequences that may arise if we do something like that. in the italian constitution, the referendums on treaties. and also,

italy has the euro currency. it is true that a few representatives of the incumbent italian populist government, they have pledged to the eu and the eu currency in the past. since they are in the government and also seeing what is going on in the uk. we will have to leave it there, i'm afraid. it's interesting to get your perspective on this. let's now tell you what is still to come in the programme. a lastgasp goal in injury time puts chelsea into the winds semifinals. they will face holders lyon in the last four.

let there be no more war or bloodshed between arabs and israelis. very good. applause so proud of both of you. applause with great regret, the committee have decided that south africa should be excluded from the 1970 competition. chants streaking across the sky, the white—hot wreckage from mir drew gasps from onlookers on fiji. onlooker: wow!

you're watching the briefing. our headlines: british mps have failed to agree on an alternative plan for brexit after voting on eight options. it was hoped these "indicative votes" would help break the parliamentary deadlock over brexit. earlier, theresa may promised to step down as prime minister if her deal is passed. but key allies refuse to back her. turkey is currenly in recession. it's economy shrunk by three 3% in the last quarter of 2018. inflation is at 20%. the currency has plunged and unemployment risen. it's all bad news for president erdogan, who's fighting local elections on sunday, and risks losing control of several cities following the downturn. our turkey correspondent mark lowen reports.

each one was the dream of a new home. they were among thousands who bought into understandable building projects now abandoned. all that is left is their protest, nails in the coffin of turkey's construction industry. these slick promotional video for this development seemed to showcase turkey's newfound wealth. at least 15,000 were forced from their old houses to make way for it. and this is what has become of the gleaming project. a gaping creator of bankrupt companies and broken promises. —— crater. it is a pattern repeated across turkey as the construction industry falters and the economy slumps, and that now poses the biggest threat to president erdogan‘s 16 years in power. zeinab recalls the fig tree beside her old home. in its place,

emptiness and anger. translation: beside her old home. in its place, emptiness and anger. translationzlj wa nt to emptiness and anger. translationzlj want to cry, i want to scream. my home is now my rucksack. i am ashamed of asking my children for money. the government are ruthless. they make promises but forget about us they make promises but forget about us after the elections. we were cheated. construction has filled tu rkey‘s cheated. construction has filled turkey's growth, moguls winning state tenders through political support. but with 20% inflation and the turkish lira funding by one third, companies are failing and the sheu third, companies are failing and the shell of an economy is proving hollow. turkey is in an economic crisis and the main driver of this crisis and the main driver of this crisis is the foreign debt. debt that has accumulated in the private sector balance sheet. if these structural issues are not resolved we might potentially see a lot of bankruptcies and related increasing unemployment. to fight a 3096 bankruptcies and related increasing unemployment. to fight a 30% rise bankruptcies and related increasing unemployment. to fight a 3096 rise in food prices the government is selling vegetables direct to

consumers, cutting out the middleman whom the president because food terrorists. welcome by some, but others call it an election gimmick and say that food cues don't look good. this is not a sign of poverty, it isa good. this is not a sign of poverty, it is a sign of opportunity. everywhere is like this. if there is something on sale, on offer, everything will go there.|j something on sale, on offer, everything will go there. i voted for president erdogan before but not again. the economy is not good. i will hold my nose at back the opposition next time. the economy propelled him to political success. it could now be his undoing. now it's time to get all the latest from the bbc sports centre. hello, i'm tulsen tollett, and this is your thursday sport briefing, where we start with football and the news that the holders, lyon, are through to the last four of the women's champions league. they beat wolfsburg 11—2 in the 2nd leg of their quarter—final in germany — eugenie le sommer scored twice as the defending champions completed a 6—3 aggregate win.

they'll now face chelsea, who beat paris saint—germain with a dramatic late winner. the french side were 2—0 down from the first leg but were 2—0 up on the night, until maren mjelde scored the goal that won it for chelsea in stoppage time. the english champions go through 3—2 on aggregate. we are at a level now where we can get into a position where we can fight to get into the final. we are not the favourites. we are not expected to go through. so there is no pressure on my team. but we want this game. australia's cricketers beat pakistan by 80 runs in the third one—day international in abu dhabi, to clinch the series with two games to spare. australia batted first after winning the toss, and posted 266/6 from their 50 overs as aaron finch top—scored with 90. in reply, pakistan were bowled out for 186, with adam zampa taking 4/43, as the aussies won with more than five overs to spare.

three—time champion roger federer eased into the quarterfinals of the miami masters with a straight sets victory over russia's daniil medvedev. the 37—year—old swiss who last won the title in 2017, beat the 13th seed 6—4 6—2 and will now play south africa's kevin anderson in the last eight. world number five federer has lost to anderson only once in six meetings, coming at wimbledon last year. yeah, i mean, ithink it yeah, i mean, i think it is going to bea yeah, i mean, i think it is going to be a bit tricky. he has got a great serve. you go back to a big serve mentality to try to hold their own service games first before thinking about how to break cabin. —— kevin. the women's semifinals at the miami open take place on thursday with australian ashleigh barty playing anett kontiveit from estonia first. barty beat petra kvitova in the quarterfinals, a first victory over the czech in five attempts,

which takes her into the wold's top ten players, while kontiveit knocked out taiwan's hsieh su—wei to progress. in the nba the san antonio spurs will look to get back to winning ways later when they host the cleveland cavaliers in texas. the spurs are in a solid position as they occupy the eighth and final play—off spot in the western conference but they'll want to avoid too many slip ups like their overtime defeat last time out to the charlotte hornets. and finally, the captain of galatasaray‘s under—14 team has given us all a lesson in sportsmanship by deliberately missing a penalty. it's after what he believed was the wrong call by a referee. he won a penalty although clearly wasn't fouled. with his team already winning1—0, he decided he wouldn't attempt to double their lead, and intentionally kicked the ball out of play. his side went on to beat istanbulspor 3—0. you can get all the latest sports

news at our website. that's bbc.com/sport. but from me and the rest of the team that is your thursday sport briefing. french traditional cheesemakers have called on governments around the world to protect traditional techiques and recipes that use raw milk. purists hit out at the growth of mass—produced cheese, which they say is flooding global markets. caroline rigby has more. it's a row as french as baguettes and berets, but this one has kicked up quite a stink. on the national day of fromage, french artisan cheesemakers have urged lawmakers to protect products made in the traditional way, with raw milk, a way they say improves taste and has health benefits. they are concerned about the growth of modern cheesemaking techniques which often use pasteurised milk, deemed by mass—market producers to be safer and more suitable for global export. translation: we need to take up the fight to save these french products, this traditional cheesemaking, using raw milk. it makes sense to me. raw milk is a living

product, and we are alive. beyond france, purists are also worried the move to mass production threatens the future of traditional methods, and the ancestral know—how which, along with their cheese, has matured over time. good cheese made in the traditional ways will be saved by consumers outside of europe. the reason being that we don't take it for granted. this latest call comes just a week after a row over the labelling of camembert reached the french parliament. the product, which many consider to be authentic, is made with raw milk from normandy cows, and is given the coveted protected designation of origin label. but from 2021, the same label could also be used for some factory—produced

rivals, using pasteurised milk from different cow breeds raised elsewhere. another move by big cheeses that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth of purists, who believe the two techniques are as different as, well, chalk and cheese. a story that has you hot under the colour —— under the collar this morning as the ioc and its recommendation about four new sports to be included in the 2024 olympics. breakdancing, to be included in the 2024 olympics. brea kdancing, surfing, skateboarding and various other things. we have asked you what you think should be entered what should be out. you all beenin entered what should be out. you all been in touch. jan says the spirit of the olympics is to celebrate athleticism and achievement. audiences will enjoy the fresh new events. others are just saying it is all about tv money on advertising and sponsorship. your suggestions are to include knitting,
