world curling championships. jane lewis has been to meet her. pushing herself in the gym, and at times it hurts. and as well as fighting back from hip surgery, the tea m fighting back from hip surgery, the team skip is determined to bounce back from her world championship disappointment. it was really tough sitting at home watching the world championships, and i found sitting at home watching the world championships, and ifound it really difficult. it definitely has spurred me on difficult. it definitely has spurred meona difficult. it definitely has spurred me on a lot, and it has made me realise that maybe i do need to step it up more on and off the ice, and reset, so i'm actually looking forward to going forward, and i have had some great chats with the rest of my team over the last few weeks, and asa of my team over the last few weeks, and as a team we will come back a lot stronger. but missing out on the world came with its frustrations. initially team muirhead were told they would be heading to denmark, because tim jackson who had won the scottish championships had previous commitments. but a controversial u—turn put paid to that. commitments. but a controversial

u-turn put paid to that. is an athlete, all i want to do is concentrate on the curling, and i think it would have been a little bit fairer on all parties involved, not just for the fans, if they had may be known that the outcome of the scottish final was going to be slightly different from going to the world, and especially for us players, that was difficult. team jackson endured a tricky test at the worlds finishing ten. as for team muirhead, the experience has given them a renewed focus. muirhead, the experience has given them a renewed focuslj muirhead, the experience has given them a renewed focus. i have experienced it, obviously eve has been there so many times, you have that hunger to go, and not going this year has lit the fire within us, we want to go back and represent scotla nd us, we want to go back and represent scotland back at the world championships. so the determination is there, and it's clear to see. and finally, the movie star jackie chan has been showing off his snooker skills. here he is in hong kong with the 1997 world champion ken doherty. keep your eye on the pink ball. a nice little trick shot, perfectly executed!

you can see how much he enjoyed that one! he may even fancy his chances at this month's world championship. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. goodbye for now. and our thanks to the sports day team. mps will vote on four different alternatives to theresa may's brexit deal later this evening, to see if they can break the deadlock. live to vicki young inside the houses of parliament. vicki, what prospect is there that this process when it is over this evening will in any way to contribute to the long debate cabinet will have tomorrow? lots of mps think that this kind of process should have been done at least two yea rs should have been done at least two years ago to find out first of all

what parliament did want before going down that route of negotiating with the eu. that is not the way round it has happened, so here we are very late in the day with mps trying to get round at least one compromise. so the ones you're talking about, there are four, eight last time, down to four this time, the speaker has not selected ones which are aiming for a no—deal brexit. he says that's because that's already enshrined in law as the default position. so the customs union, ken clarke put that in, can the closes last time. lots of people thinking that could be the one that gets through. but it is very contentious. for many conservatives, it wasn't in their manifesto, they feel it totally goes against any kind of brexit in a meaningful way because the uk wouldn't be able to do its own trade deals, and then the other one, common market 2.0, again, they are pretty optimistic they might be able to get a majority in favour of this, and the downside for some, particularly some in the

labour party, is that you have to have freedom of movement. interestingly, the snp are backing that this time around, and labour have decided to tell their mps to vote for it. it will be intriguing to see how many of them defied the orders from jeremy corbyn. the other plans are for a public vote, a referendum on any deal that gets through, and that is much more of a process argument, but again, they think they might have the numbers for that, in the final was is an snp attempt to really let parliament have a say particularly when it comes to no deal. so the other big question apart from can they get ‘these is does - government do it? - does - government do it? we | does - government do it? we | does tomorrow nment do be t? we | does tomorrow sheseado = be t? we | does t marathon 1§5ezdo= will be a mammoth, marathon session, political cabinet festival followed bya political cabinet festival followed by a proper cabinet, so five hours where they will try to come up with some kind of reaction to all of this, and of course most people expect in what theresa may might do is bring her dealforward again, hoping that if one of these has been backed by mps, the prospect of a

much softer brexit might mean that those in her party who have so far failed to back her decide that after all her deal is the best option. and i was always told it was third time lucky! maybe a fourth time lucky for theresa may. thank you very much. let's speak now to the dean of the government school oxford university. thank you for being with us on bbc news this evening. if the customs union option is being looked at by mps sympathetically, judging by the numbers on the vote last week, what are the limitations it would impose? because we hear a lot about what it wouldn't allow us to do. would it give us any advantages? the great advantage of a customs union is that you negotiate with all of your european partners as one, so if you are trying to do a deal with any large countries or group of countries, you have a huge market

size to negotiate with, and that is the currency of trade negotiations. the policy side of it is the outside of the eu but as members of the customs union, we would be part of the negotiations, but we wouldn't have been setting the policy to start with. that's right. britain has a very clear choice. it can do it all on its own, and switzerland has done that in switzerland has some 200 treaties with the european union which regulate all of the things that need to be regulated, and it has taken it more than a0 yea rs and it has taken it more than a0 years to negotiate those deals. and britain if it wants to do like switzerland and do its deals, it will take decades to do that. whichever way you go, international trade requires rules of the road, everybody has got to agree the same rules. so what britain now has to work out is that it is going to accept european rules as they are, and stay in the customs union, and in the single market, or is it going to rip up some of those rules, the

single market once, and then spend a decade negotiating them, or is it going to rip up as it were all of those rules, the customs union and the single market, and then rewrite them from scratch? one of the practicalities i suppose this raises, or questions in terms of us having an independent trade policy until wejoin the having an independent trade policy until we join the eu having an independent trade policy until wejoin the eu and now having an independent trade policy until we join the eu and now trying to recreate one if we are out of the eu and a couple of weeks' time, is how much the world around us has changed. you grew up in new zealand, you i guess would have been very young when britain joined the you i guess would have been very young when britainjoined the eu, and we said goodbye to the relationships we had had with the commonwealth countries like new zealand. when you look at your own country, how much has changed in the world of trading opportunities that might make it a different world to be asked to be standing alone in?l lot. new zealand is a completely different economy, it is almost exclusively agriculture and its trade, whereas britain's agricultural trade is about 8%. what

britain trades services, and 80% of the british economy and services, and that is where it gets its value for its international trade. if you wa nt to for its international trade. if you want to trade services, that's things like insurance and finance and design and engineering advice, then actually you are going to trade most where you have got a really close regional relationship, and that's what the single market has donein that's what the single market has done in europe. it has enabled britain to become a very successful services exporter to all of its european partners. now, it is perfectly legitimate for brits to say, we want to quit sovereignty first, but that has to be with the recognition that there is a great cost in terms of needing to reassert, renegotiate and rewrite all the rules of the road, and while you're doing that, you don't get very well treated by your trading partners. professor ngaire woods at the school of global economic governance in oxford, thank you very much for being with us has ever asked. time for a look at the

weather with louise lear. good evening. today has been literally a tale of two halves, for england while some beautiful spring sunshine on offer, and it was quite warm out there, 16, 70 degrees quite widely, but further north and west, showers and then there's cloud out to the extreme north—west, a weatherfront moving in as we speak. it is a cold front and it is introducing a change to the story. rain overnight across the pennines, down through wales, and behind its showers and these turning increasingly wintry of a higher ground, a cold start to scotla nd higher ground, a cold start to scotland and northern ireland, low single figures first thing. might start off in the southeast with early morning sunshine, but it won't last, clouding over with rain arriving by the afternoon, and then behind that front, quite a noticeable change. sunny spells and scattered showers, but some of those heavy with hale, rumbles of thunder and yes still quite wintry to higher ground, and feeling noticeably colder out there, and this theme is set to continue for the next couple of days, plenty of april showers and

cold with it, too. take care. you're watching beyond 100 days. what kind of brexit does the british parliament support? tonight, mps will be voting again on a series of proposals, trying, with time running out, to reach a consensus. both labour and the scottish national party now say they will support a plan to keep the uk in both the customs union and the single market. some conservatives says that's not the brexit they want. we will be voting broadly in line with our policy, even things that are not in line with our policy. none of this makes sense. it is time we went back to a proper brexit. this is the scene live in the house of commons, where the debate has just an hourto run.
