good evening from westminster where there are angry crowds on what should have been the day we left the european union. instead in dramatic scenes this afternoon — mps voted for the third time to reject the prime minister's brexit divorce deal. mps were told this was their last chance to deliver the kind brexit people voted for. but it wasn't enough to persuade them — 286 mps voted yes, 344 voted no — the prime minister lost by 58 votes. theresa may said it was a matter of deep personal regret that the uk wasn't leaving the eu today and called it a grave moment for parliament.

april 12th — is now brexit day. either we leave with no deal. or the prime minister asks brussels for an extension — and it could be a long one. it's not how the 29th of march was supposed to be. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports on today's historic vote this really is such an iconic day, it is march the 29th. what do we want? brexit! it is a great failure that we are not leaving this evening. crowds on the march to push parliament to get on with it. evening. crowds on the march to push parliament to get on with itm evening. crowds on the march to push parliament to get on with it. it is a thoroughly bad idea and it deserves to be defeated. on the day that we were due to leave. shame on you! mps were asked to back a deal they hate or delay. protest brought frustration to parliament, the prime minister brought the deal that would divorce us from the eu to the

commons for judgment, again. divorce us from the eu to the commons forjudgment, again. the ayes to the right, 286, the noes to the left, 344. a closer result than last time out but a third defeat of nearly 60 vote for theresa may ‘s deal. i fear we are reaching the limits of the process in this house. house has rejected no deal, it has rejected no brexit, on wednesday it rejected no brexit, on wednesday it rejected all the variations of the deal on the table. this government will continue to press the case for the orderly brexit that the result of the referendum demands. this deal i'iow of the referendum demands. this deal now has to change. there has to be an alternative found and if the prime minister cannot accept that, then she must go, not at an indeterminate date in the future, but now. she should now go and we should be having a general election.

0pen calls for her to quit growing in her party as well. there is only one thing the prime minister can do, get us out on the 12th of april, get oui’ get us out on the 12th of april, get our country back and deliver what we promised. if we do not, god help us. do you think she should stay in her job? no. i think it do you think she should stay in her job? no. ithink it was inevitable that what just happened was going to happen because theresa may once again singularly failed to reach out to people. the cabinet still trying to people. the cabinet still trying to cling on. we will have to think very ha rd over to cling on. we will have to think very hard over the next few hours how to respond but this is a hugely disappointing result which is not in the national interest. the prime minister ‘s picture earlier was this is the last chance to make sure we could leave the eu sometime soon. is the last chance to make sure we could leave the eu sometime soonm avoids a long extension which would at least delay could destroy brexit. i have said that i am prepared to leave thisjob earlier i have said that i am prepared to leave this job earlier than i have said that i am prepared to

leave thisjob earlier than i intended to secure the right outcome for our country. and when the division bell rings in a few moments time, everyone of us will have to look into our hearts and decide what is best for our constituents and our country. this deal, even the half of that we have before us today is bad for our democracy, bad for our economy and bad for this country and iurge economy and bad for this country and i urge the house not to be cajoled oi'i i urge the house not to be cajoled on this third time lucky strategy and down today! ministers have only been able to stand back and watch on and they made this steel sound like the end of the world. but listen. if we say we stand up for 17.4 million people, then we have to get those people, then we have to get those people what they asked for and that is to leave the european union and this now is the only way. and then another. i will vote for the motion.

the problem i have is that i cannot countenance an even longer extension. and i cannot countenance holding european elections in may. and then another. most of us do not like the agreement, but it is a damn sight better than sticking two fingers up to the british public and say we will ignore you. but a clutch of convinced eurosceptic stood firm. we have capitulated, this is not compromised, this has been capitulation. and theresa may 's allies from northern ireland would not budge. whatever means there are available to us should this agreement go through, we will continue to oppose it. many more furious. now, mr speaker, we cannot allow the future of this country to be held to ransom by the never ending internal tory psychodrama and those who want to put their own jobs and ambitions before the jobs of the

people in this country. the rainbow of other parties were never going to say yes. we have been ignored, silenced and sidelined, the futures of citizens across scotland and the rest of the uk held to ransom by right—wing brexiteers and the dup. this is nothing more than deceit, duplicity and deception from a government in desperation. what happens next? tonight even members of the cabinet are not sure. if we know anything about theresa may it is not impossible that somehow she will come up with another way of trying to get her deal through again. but remember, mps are working with me behind the scenes to try to come up with a solution, probably a softer brexit that could find a majority in the house of commons sometime soon. but in either case, it is likely the government will have to ask the eu for a longer extension, with conditions attached. they could say no, in which case we might leave the european union without a deal in a couple of weeks.

as they leave on the day we were all meant to leave, the question on the departure of the eu is far from journey end. laura is with me. we were supposed to be standing here on the 29th march talking about the fact that we were leaving the eu in just a few hours time instead people are wondering if we are going to leave at all. this has been an extraordinary malfunction of the prime minister ‘s plan. they thought they could have another go and with a good chance and that failed and now on the second attempt it has gone down as well. quite understandably, people everywhere, including in westminster, including even in the cabinet, are tonight scratching their heads and thinking how are we going to get out of this hole? there area going to get out of this hole? there are a few clear options at least, first off, the prime minister, i think if we know one thing about her, she will have another go, somehow in the next couple of weeks to get her plan through the nooks and crannies of parliament. that may backfire, but i am pretty sure she will try to find a way, even though

it has been defeated today. the second option we know that mps are busy working behind the scenes to try and find a majority in that place, probably for a softer count of brexit, a closer relationship with the eu than the one the prime minister has negotiated and i could find a majority and actually get through the house of commons. whatever happens, it is very likely that very soon, the prime minister is going to have to go to brussels and pick up the phone tojean—claude juncker and say we need more time. whatever happens, a long delay is very much on the cards unless the eu says no, which is possible, and in that case, we are leaving without a deal ina that case, we are leaving without a deal in a fortnight because my time. laura kuenssberg, you. parliament now has just two weeks — until the 12th april — to find another way forward. so what on earth happens now? 0ur deputy political editorjohn pienaar looks at the options. this may have been theresa may's last chance and she came up short. by 58 votes mps voted

down the divorce deal she thrashed out with the eu. plenty of battles still to come before brexit is ever settled, but if mrs may even hoped to regain any control that hope probably died today. how tory brexiteers resistance mostly crumbled. they feared losing brexit altogether. big hitters like borisjohnson, dominic raab, evenjacob rees—mogg, who said until today, he would oppose the deal so long as the democratic unionists did but the hard—core stayed firm. the dup held out, fearing northern ireland could be treated differently to the rest of the uk for the sake of avoiding a hard eu border with ireland. jeremy corbyn's labour mps split. five reconciled to brexit, backed the deal. most helped sink it. so now who is in charge? mps and cross party factions are working on their own plans for brexit. former cabinet minister, 0liver letwin, is one of those organising a series of votes for next week, hoping most mps can agree on one.

the options, a brexit closer to the eu than mrs may's deal. maybe under the same customs rules, maybe under eu single market rules, so free movement of people could continue, or maybe both. that has been compared to the old european common market. a new referendum is an option. maybe tied to whatever brexit deal is chosen in the end. and some mps who oppose leaving with no deal and believe parliament would never allow it prefer revoking brexit, calling it off for it now or for good. mps could still take control ordering the government by law to adopt the plan mps choose. so, mrs may's next move, assuming she's around long enough, doing nothing is not an option. they will have to be a brexit plan made law by a withdrawal agreement bill. mps could try and force their own plans into that bill. a softer brexit may well have the most support. could any pm order tory mps and ministers how to vote or try? government discipline

has all but collapsed. the next eu summit is set for a week on wednesday. the eu offered to delay brexit until may the 22nd, if the prime minister managed to get the terms of divorce through parliament. she's failed so the deadline is set for april the 12th. that is to allow the uk to avoid the european elections. until there is a final agreement a no—deal brexit remains possible, the outcome many fear most, maybe by accident. but the eu may offer a much longer delay. what if mps demand a new referendum? you thought brexit was close to being settled? think again. they say all political careers, all premierships end in failure. most end in better shape than theresa may's. she is on the verge of leaving number ten with her authority shattered, the future of brexit still in deep doubt, demands growing louder for a general election. it is fair to ask, could any leader have done much better?

either way, there is a long list of contenders keen to move into downing street and try. john pienaar there. so eu leaders will meet again for an emergency summit on april 10th to discuss what happens next. will they grant the uk another extension? will they insist we now fight the elections for the european parliament? unchartered waters indeed. 0ur europe editor katya adler is in brussels for us. and the reaction there? there was no great surprise here that parliament once again rejected the withdrawal agreement, in fact i describe the sense here as one of resignation and also defensiveness. the eu wanting to protect itself as much as possible from any future brexit fallout. you know that in the past in negotiations the eu has used the threat of a no—deal brexit as part of the negotiations. now eu leaders think it is an increasingly likely

prospect and that is what we heard from emmanuel macron of france today and that is why he and a number of eu leaders are now questioning whether it makes sense to delay brexit for that much longer. they look at all the divisions in parliament, in government, in cabinet and they wonder whether the uk will ever unite around brexit. this is not to say that if the prime minister comes to that emergency brexit summit here on the 10th of april that eu leaders would say no toa april that eu leaders would say no to a longer extension but what it does mean is that when she leaves the room there will be a very heated discussion among the 27 eu leaders as to whether to extend, how long for and under what conditions. 0ne thing, as you pointed out, that they are standing firm on is the idea that for a longer extension the uk would have to take part in european parliamentary elections. why is that? is that because the eu wants to make it more difficult for the uk? not really. if we extend for longer, we remain an eu memberfor longer, we remain an eu memberfor longer and the legality of the newly

elected european parliament can be called into question if all eu members are not represented in it. it is messy and complicated and eu leaders say they will be watching really closely on monday, those indicative votes in parliament, to see if there are any clues to which direction the uk is heading. so that's the mood in brussels, but what do people here in the uk — away from westminster — think about the uncertainty now facing the brexit process? the city of leeds had one of the closest referendum results in the country — with just over 50% voting to remain, and just under 50% to leave. 0ur correspondent sarah campbell has been getting reaction from businesses and voters in the city. the opportunity now is for us to embrace the certain legal right for an extension. we will be taking a huge leap into the unknown. the green benches of parliament are 200

miles away from these greens in leeds but the golfers here are well aware that what is said and done their matters, here. march 29, was that in your calendar as the day we believe that? absolutely, yes. how are you feeling? frustrated, as a person who voted to leave, frustrated that my decision has not gone forward. do you think it will, ever? it is questionable, now. how are you feeling? you voted remain. the vote has gone exactly howl expected. the government is the vote has gone exactly howl expected. the governmei ins major issues here, and is in turmoil. and i really don't know where this is going but my gut feeling is that the government will collapse. opinions on the vote today are split among members. enjoying a well earned drink after their round of golf, two remainers and two leave us wondering what happens next. of golf, two remainers and two leave us wondering what happens nextlj don't know where parliament is going to go. i don't know where the government is leading. i don't think

there has been leadership from the government from the start. the vote was to leave, and i think they should leave. no-deal on the 12th of april. that doesn't worry me. voters in leeds were split down the middle in the 2016 referendum. remain achieved 50.3% of the vote. lead, only very marginally behind, at 49.7%. most all of this file company's 49.7%. most all of this file compa ny‘s tiles come 49.7%. most all of this file company's tiles come from europe and profit margins have been hit, since the vote. we do need clarity, because as a business, all we want is to move on and be positive about what is going to happen next. nobody knows what is going to happen next, so that uncertainty that is out there in the marketplace is creating problems. today was to be the day the uk struck out from the european union. instead, britain will be

staying put, at least, for now. our business editor simonjack staying put, at least, for now. our business editor simon jack is staying put, at least, for now. our business editor simonjack is with me now. clarity, certainty, a decision — that's what businesses have been clamouring for. reactions, spirit sapping linda continue says the institute of directors. sick and tired say the federation of small businesses. they are sick and tired of firing off responses to a series of votes, a process that is looked at with frustration, anxiety, alarm and now i kind of weary despair. they think they are really afraid of his no—deal. the european commission have come out and said that is now a likely outcome. the financial markets just don't believe that. the pound had a bit of a bubble today but nowhere near what you would expect if you thought no—deal was coming into force. 0n investable, says the smt. the longer this drags

on, the less investment to be seen in the uk and we saw official figures this morning of the lowest investment by business in the economy since 2009. it is notjust press releases, it is showing up in the real world. as the result of the vote became clear — there were boos from many in the crowd. large numbers of protestors from both sides descended on westminster this afternoon to mark what should have been brexit day — including the "march to leave" procession, which left sunderland two weeks ago. our special correspondent lucy manning has spent the day with people at the protests and sent this report. let's have brexit! very, very sad. very disappointed. it is rubbish. we are not leaving. i think it is an outrage. that is why i am here. they wanted it, voted for it, won it, but didn't get it. today was supposed to be brexit day.

how would you sum up this day for you? how would you describe it? it is a total and utter betrayal of democracy. whether or not you voted remain or leave, it is pathetic. we were supposed to be having a party tonight, instead we are having a wake. what our politicians are saying to us, shut up and sit down. some on this leavers‘ march had walked from sunderland, determined to tell westminsterjust how let down they felt. march 29 was not supposed to look like this, not so much celebration but another demonstration and, amongst the brexiteers, a real sense of anger. this should have been an amazing day for england. yeah? but you've ruined it. they have ruined it. when they voted and they triggered article 50, i thought today would be the day. do you not think that actually the politicians who wanted to get out of europe just should have accepted the deal and then you could have been celebrating today? but the deal is not leaving. the deal is worth than

remaining for leavers. parliament square and the roads around the commons were full of thousands of leavers. just a handful of remainers watched on. i am very glad that it is not brexit day. but i also think that it is a pity that things have not progressed a little quicker and you would have thought that maybe by now that politicians could have sorted something out. we personally voted remain, but we just want it finish now, even if that means leaving. those who support leaving the most have resisted the deal the hardest. to them, the prime minister's brexit did not mean brexit. this was supposed to be the day. who knows when it will come? lucy manning, bbc news, westminster. that's all from westminster for now, i'll be back later in the programme with more on this extraordinary day. here's reeta with the rest of today's news. the detective who led the investigation intojill dando's murder has told the bbc her case will never be solved. in a documentary to mark 20 years since the broadcaster was shot

outside her home in fulham, hamish campbell said he didn't think any new suspects would be brought to court. barry george was jailed for the murder, but was acquitted and released after a re—trial. the struggling retailer, debenhams, has agreed a £200 million refinancing package with lenders to revive the business. the department store chain said the deal offered "reassurance" for employees, pension holders, and suppliers. the company will continue with plans to close a number of stores. a new study says the current system of checking new—born babies in england for hip problems is failing, resulting in too many late diagnoses and corrective surgery. only those at risk or with problems receive a scan, but the rate of late diagnoses hasn't improved since screening started over 30 years ago. tributes have been paid to the members of the liverpool—based indie band, her‘s, who've died in a car crash in the united states. stephen fitzpatrick

and audun laading were killed along with their tour manager trevor engelbrektson, as they travelled from arizona to a concert in california. 0ur correspondent ashley john—baptiste reports. 24—year—old stephen from cumbria and 25—year—old audun from audun from norway were in liverpool as students. as music duo, her‘s, they were living most bands‘ dream, touring the us, playing live music forfans. their record label said the duo, along with their tour manager, trevor engelbrektson, were killed in a car crash in the early hours of wednesday on an arizona freeway whilst on their way to a gig in california. since news of the crash, tributes have been flooding in. you could just see they were being themselves when they were on stage. they came... they came alive. they were sweet, they were warm, they were infectious to be around. they were just the loveliest people, they really were. truly talented.

having released their debut album, they were recently interviewed by bbc music at a festival in texas. we have been selling out shows on, like, the east coast which is, it has been really good. a good run so far. we are excited. # oh, boy. # midway through a tour in north america, the band stood out as a promising talent, whose potential was brutally cut short. ashleyjohn—baptiste, bbc news. , ashleyjohn—baptiste, bbc news. wanted today to be. ashleyjohn—baptiste, bbc news. ‘wanted today to be. where minister wanted today to be. where does this leave her? whether she likes it or not, her complete her authority is completely bound in

with how she is getting on with her brexit plan. and we have seen again today her attempts to get it through, her central mission, has just failed again. so many miscalculations. sure, she was dealt a difficult hand with a divided party and no commons majority but she will try to find a way of coming again. one senior tory mp said to me she is finished, she does not have authority, so this deal that she put together so painstakingly with the european union, she may well to try to have another go, but she has already said she will leave sooner than planned but more tory mps are saying that she should quit, quit now, but do you think she's going to add to the uncertainty by willingly walking out of downing street? i don't think so. political editor laura kuenssberg, thank you very much. time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. we took the temperature of the

country today, and in sheffield it was 19 celsius this afternoon. things will change this weekend. those gentle and warm south—westerly is replaced by colder air plunging across the whole of the country. so much so that by sunday, typical afternoon temperatures could be 10 celsius. some places may be a little bit warmer, some places a little colder. the cold air is just waiting to come in. it is actually to the north of this band of thicker cloud. that has been producing rain and drizzle in the north west of scotland. and patchy rain and drizzle will head further south into scotland, eventually into northern ireland. south of that, clear skies and light winds in england and whales, tumbling temperatures, some mist and fog for whales and west in england, and in ruralareas, temperatures could get close to freezing. tomorrow, the mist and fog should not last, we could see some decent spells of sunshine, but that band of thicker cloud and increasingly like an patchy rain continuing south from scotland and

northern ireland, into northern england eventually and into north whales. behind that, to the north, some sunshine for the north of scotland, temperatures struggling into double figures, and the warmth getting squeezed to the south—east, around 18, 19 degrees. saturday night into sunday morning, we have one hour less in bed, with a clock springing forward into british summer time. ironically it will feel colder. some cloud for southern parts of england and whales. a chilly start further north, some patchy cloud bubbling up and have dry day with light winds and some spells of sunshine but cooler everywhere, only around seven celsius in the east of scotland and eastern parts of england. a reminder of our top story. the prime minister's brexit plan is rejected by parliament yet again — on the very day that the united kingdom was supposed to leave the european union. that's all from the bbc news at six. so it's goodbye from me and on bbc one we nowjoin 00:28:59,862 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 the bbc‘s news teams where you are.
