this is beyond 100 days, you're watching bbc news with me, katty kay, in washington, as mps are about to vote with it, too. take care. christian fraser is in westminster. in an attempt to break our top stories: the deadlock over brexit. this is the scene live in the house of commons, yes, still in london. where members will soon troop you're watching beyond 100 days. both labour and the scottish national party now through the lobbies to indicate say they will support a plan to keep their preferred options, what kind of brexit does the british parliament support? the uk in both the customs union including plans for a customs union, tonight, mps will be voting again a referendum and a no—deal brexit. on a series of proposals, trying, and the single market. some conservatives says that's not with time running out, labour and the snp indicate backing the brexit they want. for the uk to leave the eu, to reach a consensus. but stay in the single market we will be voting for things which are broadly in line with our policy, both labour and the scottish and customs union. national party now say they will support a plan to keep even things which are not exactly in the thing about being in the single market the uk in both the customs union line with our policy. none of this is not exactly in line and the single market. with our policy, but it's going to be some conservatives says that's not make sense, it's time we went back for a proper brexit. better than theresa may's deal and certainly better than no deal, the brexit they want. this is the scene live so we will be voting for that. in the house of commons, where mps are about 30 minutes away theresa may does not have to accept we will be voting broadly in line from casting a series of indicitive votes — trying to break the brexit deadlock. the outcome of tonight's vote coming up in the next half hour: with our policy, even things that are not in line with our policy. and despite her deal being rejected three times by mps, there could be a long shot contender a fourth vote this week. none of this makes sense. it is time with big potential. we went back to a proper brexit. democrat pete buttigieg hasn't officially announced he'll run this is the scene live for president in 2020, in the house of commons, but already he's raised where the debate has just an hourto run. $7 million. also on the programme: the trump administration plans

to shut america's border with mexico this week, unless there's a dramatic change in circumstances. and what killed the dinosaurs? and the upset in we might finally know the answer the democratic race. to the age—old mystery, how this small town mayor thanks to a new discovery. is raising big time money. so tonight, mps will vote on four brexit options. hello and welcome. a customs union, the so—called common market 2.0, that would keep the uk in the single market i'm katty kay in washington and and a customs union, christian fraser is in westminster. there will be a vote to take no deal the house of commons has just two weeks to find a brexit off the table and a vote to hold plan it can support. a referendum on any deal agreed. tonight then, is a pivotal moment. yes, we have said that many times before. you will see that debate is ongoing. but if tonight the mp's fail, a second time, to find a majority for one of the four proposals it's expected to finish in front of them, then who knows what might come next. in half an hour's time. number 10 has signalled it stephen gethins of the snp is will bring back mrs may's deal for a fourth vote later in the week; currently on his feet. the prime minister still hoping at which point mps will be that the threat of a much softer handed a paper ballot with the four options on it. brexit will carry her deal over the line. they will have half an hour to complete the vote. today the dup and the brexiteers a straight yes no vote. were adamant they would they can tick any, all or none. continue to block it. labour and the snp say they will be and the results we expect throwing their support this evening, behind the so called common market around 10 this evening. 2.0, a proposal that would keep the uk in both a customs union i will be here to bring you those results.

i'm joined now byjill rutter, and the single market. of the institute for governmnet, and chris morris, our reality check correspondent. let's have a quick look at the results last time out when we talked we are in the 59th minute of the about first of all the softer brexit option. let's take the customs union 11th hour, we are trying to find first of all, ken clarke's proposal. something, we are trying to find a compromise, and what the prime you see that it was just a short minister ought to know, we know, last time, and i have put the people extensively know, compromise means give and take and therefore we will be voting for things which are broadly in line with our policy, a bsta i ns last time, and i have put the abstains on here. we will look at even things which are not in line common market 2.0 as well in a second. is there ground for ken with our policy. that customs union clarke to get that option across the isa with our policy. that customs union is a betrayal of brexit. voters chose to take back control and our line? definitely. 102 abstentions, and it is even closer because they mps are wanting to give even more miss counted one vote, so one vote away. the european union would be has moved from the no column into able to make the rules and we would have to follow them. commons speakerjohn bercow has selected four options for mps to choose between. and remember, mps can vote the aye column, so the vote could go for as many or as few, or even none, as they want. there's one for a customs union — that would see a close trading up. it is interesting some parties are saying it's not quite enough for relationship between the uk and the eu, but the uk wouldn't be them. ken clarke has been running able to strike it's own trade deals. this line, it is not an alternative there's also one for both single

market and customs union membership, to the common market 2.0, you can called in the jargon common market 2.0, that would allow the free flow of goods, build upwards, and just set this but would mean the uk accepting free movement of people, baseline is a minimum of saying we should stay in a customs union, so and paying into the eu budget. we will see if that has a red line there's a plan to put any brexit deal to another referendum on how people will vote. and let's and the question on the ballot paper would be down to mps. put up common market 2.0, because we and there's a motion to give mps are the snp and labour are going to the power to stop no deal, whip for this tonight, and you can by seeking a long extension, see the abstention column now much and if that's not agreed, voting on whether to leave with no deal, larger. is that the one that you or cancelling brexit altogether. that's all being debated in the commons, with voting would fancy getting a majority happening after 8pm, tonight? it is the one coming up and the results a couple of hours later. fastest on the rails if we were talking about a horse race. either let's speak now to vicki young, that or a customs union are probably our chief political correspondent, who's in parliament's central lobby. going to be in first place. let's see, labour is going to whip for it, we know this is a house of commons that doesn't always follow the rules, and mp5 don't always follow the rules, but let's see how many go for it. but the interesting thing where do you think the support is shifting tonight? i think because about ken clarke's customs union option, he has made it pretty clear. the snp have decided to get behind he isa option, he has made it pretty clear. he is a remainer, and forwhom it is common market 2.0, that is an extra a tactic, almost. let's get one thing in the bank, the customs 35 outs. that helps them quite a union, and build on that, because he

lot. labour are in a interesting knows that the customs union alone position because they have decided doesn't for example solve problems to actively support some of those like the irish border or even really options. both the customs union and at dover and calais and the checks common market 2.0, they are telling done there. katty asked stephen their mps to vote for both of those. what is interesting is whether there will be some labour mps not quite kinnock if this would unite the happy about that, particularly the country, and we could see what they second one because of the issue of would happen here, this will give us the freedom of movement. some labour the softer brexit, do you want that mps think that is not going to be a all remain, and everybody will vote winner in their brexit leaning remain because those options are constituencies. we will have to see inferior. that is possible. one of if there is a rebellion on the the interesting things going on in some of those abstentions on common labour side. if there is a rebellion on the labourside. interestingly, if there is a rebellion on the labour side. interestingly, even if there is a rebellion on the labourside. interestingly, even if market 2.0 are people who if there mps do get round and get some is going to be a brexit will want consensus around one of these the softest possible one, but think options tonight, what is the government going to do about that? that if a soft brexit is around, it it would mean ordering the makes the chances of a second referendum less likely, so you gotta government to do something it may not want to do. they have been great —— pretty clear that most of them split. the scottish national are saying let's have that as a back—up including the prime minister, this is not a route she wants to go down. plan, we are prepared to vote for an interesting intervention by sajid javid in the last hour. he says common market 2.0, whereas other people are saying, like the given the challenges of getting a

independent group are saying, the deal through comedy customs union only real option is remain, so let's might feel like some sort —— comfort not vote for that, we don't want that coming to the top of the pack. blanket but it is more of a ina way, straitjacket. he says they should have been all about taking back that coming to the top of the pack. in a way, you have two that are the control and in the end, it would not content in a way, you have two that are the co nte nt of in a way, you have two that are the content of brexit and to which are mean that at all. it'll mean the uk really about process tonight, the no deal in the second referendum. having no say over its trade agreements. we would not be norway yes, which i guess begs the oi’ agreements. we would not be norway or switzerland, it would put us on a question, chris, iwas yes, which i guess begs the question, chris, i was going to ask you this. liam fox saying this is par with andorra and san marino and thatis par with andorra and san marino and that is the problem for many conservatives. i spoke to one not a proper brexit, but given that the brexit referenda was just on minister earlier said it is all very staying or leaving the european well if parliament goes for a softer union, if you could take the politics out of it, you could argue, brexit, but how many conservatives couldn't you, that common market 2.0 are going to get behind that? it certainly will be a majority of the conservative party. that makes it a is fulfilling the mission of the referendum. i think to be fair most real headache for theresa may and her cabinet. they have their people in the referendum campaign defined leaving is leaving the european union, let's be clear, all marathon meetings tomorrow. given that some brexiteers are saying this of these options, common market 2.0, customs union, they are all could be economic suicide and is not destinations, but they are destinations, but they are destinations very clearly outside proper brexit, and the fact these the eu. what has been interesting is votes are

proper brexit, and the fact these votes a re not legally proper brexit, and the fact these votes are not legally binding, what does happen next if there is a the eu. what has been interesting is the way the definition of hard and consensus around one of these soft brexit has changed over time. proposals? there will be two cabinet the hard brexit has got harder, but soft brexit really is still outside meetings tomorrow, a critical cabinet and another one after that the eu, it is still a soft brexit really is still outside the eu, it is stilla big soft brexit really is still outside the eu, it is still a big change soft brexit really is still outside the eu, it is stilla big change in the eu, it is stilla big change in the way the uk operates. but itjust with civil servants present, five hours of discussions and we know feels like those who shout loudest from the leave side, and don't because cabinet ministers have been forget there were 17.4 million very open about this, they are com pletely very open about this, they are completely split on what the people who voted leave, and we don't alternatives should be. there are several who think that at this point hear from them so much, but the people who are really active now evenif several who think that at this point even if parliament gets round some feel they want to go for the hardest kind of softer brexit, no deal is a brexit possible, many of them. better scenario, even though they talk about it being bumpy. 0thers joanne cherry, the snp, had the think that would be a total catastrophe and they want theresa motion of taking no deal off the table if we were up to the nub of it next week, and then there is the may to move towards that option. second referendum, and a sort of this was the decision many people felt would have to be made at some confirmation vote on whatever deal the commons comes to. where do you stage, once she had not got a see those going? these are majority at the general election and it could well be the next two days that crunch moment has come. thank procedural, so this is quite you very much indeed. interesting. you could actually vote for all of them, that is quite a the eu has been ramping

up the pressure today. guy verhofstadt who leads coherent position. you could say the brexit steering committee thatjoanna coherent position. you could say that joanna cherry coherent position. you could say thatjoanna cherry is offering you a within the european parliament backstop that if we end up with the tweeted this. brexit is not a bad april fool's risk of no deal, what it does is say joke, but a tragic reality for all our citizens and business. you can't have no deal without mps agreeing to it, and if there is no other alternative, then we just revoke and we set up a public inquiry to decide what happens next. the confirmatory referendum is that let's now speak to andrew bridgen, conservative mp and member of the any deal goes up against remain, so eurosceptic european research group. this is defining the alternative answer that question, what happens option, so they are not really if the house of commons gets behind alternative, you could put these all something tonight? what will that do together in some mega package, a composite same. and the weird thing to the conservative party? every is, we are kind of comparing apples option before the house selected by and pears, because a customs union the speaker, who is not impartial, or single market, that is a clear they are all in breach of our final destination, a referendum required something to vote on, and ma nifesto they are all in breach of our manifesto pledges, and they are in one of that may be remaining in the breach of the labour party manifesto eu, but leaving, what is the pledges to respect the result of the referendum. it is not brexit that is agreement for what side that will dying today in parliament, it is be? and we heard earlier that there actually our democracy and the myth, is nothing here that many mps can

if we don't deliver brexit, it is support, hundred and 74 have written to them, she has a five—hour cabinet clear that not everyone's vote is meeting tomorrow which tells you she equal. but there is a fair chance, expects something to happen tonight. as theresa may has warned, we are half of all tory mps are now saying, heading towards this softer brexit, let's leave with no deal, and pretty that parliament will try and mandate whatever choice they come to this quickly. even though a lot of the advice they have seen from within evening. how are you going to get the civil service, businesses, this around that? it has been engineered really will be a pretty shattering moment. they think they are more by the prime minister. the cabinet are abstaining on votes that are in clear breach of our manifesto prepared than some experts are telling them, and maybe that is the commitments. labour are whipping on case, but smaller businesses in particular don't have the various amendments and it is highly likely they will go through. that wherewithal really to prepare, so does not give them legitimacy. we there are still a lot of people who haven't filled in the correct forms hear a lot about the voice of for a new economic relationship that they might need to have. parliament but what about the voice of the 17.4 million people who voted multinationals have done the preparation and spent the money, but to leave the european union? your they still don't necessarily think it is the best thing to do. primary star has a difficult decision to make. 100 and before difficult one for theresa may, between a rock and a hard place. view have written to her saying you should leave with no deal if need be let's see if we had to some sort of and half of the cabinet have said, conclusion turn out as you are

you have to look for a softer brexit to find a consensus. there is now an suggesting. american politics. existential threat to your party. joe biden hasn't even announced his run for president and his potential, future, to find a consensus. there is now an existential threat to your partym maybe campaign is already is much more than half. we only have the focus of a scandal. the former democratic vice president 314 elected members at the moment. is denying claims that he behaved what we do as well is the vast inapporpriately to a female democratic politicianin 2014. biden has been widely seen majority of our membership in the as an front runner in the 2020 race, country and our supporters want a if he decides tojump in. clea n country and our supporters want a clean no—deal brexit, a managed no—deal brexit and the prime minister could deliver that now and save our party, save our nation and but this #metoo moment could change his calculations. save our party, save our nation and save our party, save our nation and lucy flores says biden came up save our democracy. steven baker behind her at a campaign event, said today that if it came to a put his hands on her shoulder and kissed her head. motion of no confidence that was isa brought by labour, it may be that is a person that had no relationship with him afterwards, as a candidate some of your number may want to vote who was preparing my case for why i with the labour party. what would be the point in that? there would be a should be elected the second in command of that state, to have the vice president of the united states 14 day period if she lost where a government would have to find a do that to me so unexpectedly and majority. would you be able to put someone majority. would you be able to put someone in place? we are in just kind of out of nowhere, it was uncharted territory. they would have just kind of out of nowhere, it was just shocking. joe biden responded

to the accusation in a statement saying... 14 days with which to form a government to command a majority and iam not government to command a majority and i am not sure we have a leader who could do that. but what i am hearing is rather more worrying, the government may be planning to bring back meaningful vote four as a confidence motion, which then causes with us now is our political analyst and former adviser a huge problem to people like me who to george w bush, ron christie. will not vote for theresa may's good to see you, good to be back. deeply flawed withdrawal agreement and it is about putting the country good to see you, good to be back. before the party. i would vote good to see you, good to be back. good to see you, katty, welcome back. thank you. we know joe biden, against the withdrawal agreement. it he is known to be very physical, he will... we will be taking a huge helps people a lot. i watch this amount of our laws, for the first story unfold, and it strikes me there is a generational shift in time in history, family foreign power, in perpetuity, overwhich time in history, family foreign power, in perpetuity, over which we have no control. that is not taking this whole #metoo moment. there is a generational shift in this whole #metoo momentlj back control, that is not what the there is a generational shift in this whole #metoo moment. i think you are right, he represents a dying people voted for at the referendum. breed, someone who came of age in the speaker is supposed to be the 60s and 70s who has been in the senate for a long time and neutral, you would presumably say tonight that is not the case. ultimately vice president. many of the younger voters don't look at his

neutral, you would presumably say tonight that is not the caselj think you can see his choice of behaviour and find this to be which amendments he has been acceptable. many people say you are invading someone's space, being a debated, this has been going on for little too close, little too creepy, weeks and weeks, he has a clear and with the rise of the #metoo agenda and he is running roughshod movement in the united states and through our constitution. this around the world, this might be the cannot be allowed to continue. pin that deflates the balloon of the well, that's one view from the conservative party. joe biden candidacy for president. let's speak now to the labour mp stephen kinnock. and yet i imagine there are a lot of he's in the houses democrats looking at this incident of parliament now. and saying, president trump got you must be encouraged by some of elected saying is that there was far the numbers that are coming to your more overt and egregious that was site. yes, it has been a very good caught on video tape.|j 48—hour is. the confirmation of the more overt and egregious that was caught on video tape. i think that is right, but the supporters would say, with donald trump you knew snp supporting common market 2.0, exactly what you got when you along with getting the labour way, elected him. warts and all, through potts is in a very good position but of course i believe that colleagues the primary process, and to try to need to find a compromise, we need say that trump did it too might fall to find a way forward and that means flat on voters who are looking for i think it is important those politicians for solutions rather than excuses about bad behaviour. campaigning fora i think it is important those campaigning for a second referendum you are a political strategist. how support, market 2.0, because at the end of the day, if they want a do you get out in front of this? he

second referendum, it has to have a has put out a statement, but the other candidates, and there are viable leave option on the ballot many, are talking about this. does paper. you cannot have remained versus remained. it is critical now he give an interview, ignore it? what is the best way forward when that those colleagues campaigning for a second referendum also back you have not even declared? good common market 2.0. let's say common evening to you, christian. i think what the vice president is going to do, we have seen one thing, we have seen do, we have seen one thing, we have seen him take the step of listening market 2.0 were to emerge as the a statement, listen carefully to what he said. he said he didn't consensus, the thing that britain moves towards, having heard what we believe that anything that he had just heard that this is being seen done was inappropriate, he didn't say what the other people thought. as unacceptable by people who voted he said he thought he didn't do it. for what they are calling a proper soi brexit, do you think there is any he said he thought he didn't do it. so i think he will look for a chance the country could unite after this process is over behind being in sympathetic interview, gayle king, a nice sit down where the vice a common market of that sort?|j president can be in a very co mforta ble, president can be in a very comfortable, familiar setting where this process is over behind being in he can try to set the record a common market of that sort? i have been campaigning for this for two straight. but i so i said to katty, and a half years. 52—48 was a mandate to move house but say —— stay in the same neighbourhood. with the rise of #metoo, there is not much can be done if people have anyone who tells you they understand decided that he was inappropriate the precise reasons why17.4 million with women for his entire political career. people voted to leave is a scent —— let me ask you about another story

isa people voted to leave is a scent —— is a fantasist. nigel farage said, i coming from the washington post, a whistle—blower inside the white look to norway answer to land and house claiming that a couple of say, would it be so bad? there was dozen security clearances that had not a great deal of clarity about been rejected were overturned by the why people voted leave and we need trump administration, so somebody to forge a compromise that brings asked for security clearance, the pragmatic levers and remainers security gates people said no, we together. i believe that is the think there might be a foreign silent majority. the problem over co nflict—of— i nterest think there might be a foreign conflict—of—interest or something, and the white house overturned it, the last three years is the country we have heard this with jared kushner and ivanka trump. is that seems to have become more divided, not lessened if we are to have a normal in the white house, and is united kingdom that really is united this a problem for them?” in spirit behind whatever is chosen out of this brexit process, do you normal in the white house, and is this a problem for them? i certainly think it is a problem when you find see that possibility behind this the washington post writing about it and us talking about it. it is softer brexit, behind this common market idea? the reason we called it u nwa nted and us talking about it. it is unwanted and unnecessary distraction for a white house that is known for having a lot of distractions. but common market 2.0, on the doorstep, for one who had a top security in the white house when i worked there people said i voted to join the forfour the white house when i worked there for four years, that isn't how it works. the way the system works is common market, i like the economic you fill out a form, the fbi spent operation, we can trade in a the better part of the year frictionless way. what i don't like interviewing your friends and is the political union, the confidence, and then they fill in a report that goes back to the white

gravitational pull of integration. house security office. they don't say give him a clearance or not give it to him, they bring up the good and it delivers that. there is no things in the bad things, and then european of justice, no and it delivers that. there is no european ofjustice, no common it is an internal process. we don't agricultural policy, no common fisheries policy, nojustice over know what criteria the trump white house is using for security harman —— home affairs. it is the economics without the politics. i clea ra nces, house is using for security clearances, so absent that, there is think that is a viable compromise. still not more to this story that we need to get to the bottom of. and we need to talk about pete there is also the freedom of movement and that is something that buttigieg. i'm claiming him as our people voted against in the referendum. i have been gone for a own because we've had him on the couple of weeks and one of us programme. he is raising an incredible amount of money, he has tonight is looking more relaxed, raised in the first few weeks of his fresher, younger, like they have been away and had a good time. it is campaign $7 million, and this is honestly not for the big donors less not you. no, you are looking rather but that democrats have, by people who just like the idea but that democrats have, by people whojust like the idea of but that democrats have, by people who just like the idea of this small perky and bronzed. i hope you have town mayor giving them what for. had a good time. nothing has been mayor pete seems to me like the real going on? we have been running out deal. he comes across as being very of road. tonight, there is a fair smart, very authentic, not glib and very comfortable talking with people possibility view house of commons rallies behind something tonight and on the campaign trail, and in a we have just been talking about the climate where people are looking for

authenticity, at a time when people whole debate that has to happen are looking at what is going on in within the conservative party but washington, dc with a certain amount we re within the conservative party but were they not to come behind something tonight, then that would of disgust, it opens the door for a be quite significant because quy of disgust, it opens the door for a guy like him to creep through, and presumably another go at this on $7 million as you have pointed out wednesday would go away and then we is nothing to sniff at. i think this would be into the summit next week is nothing to sniff at. i think this is somebody we will see on the trail and then you are saying, there is for many more months to come. so are nothing you can get around. theresa you really thinking that the mayor ofa you really thinking that the mayor of a town in indiana with 100,000 people might be asked by democrats to be their nominee for the white may's deal would not be going through. the possibility of no deal house? katty, you are talking at a would go up considerably if there is no result here tonight. we will see what happens and if there is a quy house? katty, you are talking at a guy who looks after real estate majority for something, that is developer from new york city who up going to make the rest of the week until a few years ago was a very interesting. next, you will be democratic came and stole the republican primary nomination, so i think at this point anything is possible! i get your point. who are telling me the finishing line really is in sight. i will take that with a pinch of salt, you have told me that we tojudge. possible! i get your point. who are we to judge. we had possible! i get your point. who are we tojudge. we had him on possible! i get your point. who are we to judge. we had him on the programme, i think it is tricky for before. him, but! the white house says it will close america's border programme, i think it is tricky for him, but i think you are quite with mexico this week, unless there is some dramatic right, ron christie, people are change in circumstances. looking at him and he sounds very the us will also cancel aid to the three central american smart. he has ideas on a lot of countries that most migrants come from. different things. he could be the

this appears to be the latest vp. he could be. so there is attempt by president trump to make good on his long standing promise to get tough on immigration. he first floated this new plan confusion and tension tonight in on twitter on friday and it was confirmed by his chief istanbul, this is other news now. of staff mick mulvaney yesterday. turkey's president erdogan why are we talking about closing the is disputing the result border? not for spite and not to try of the election for mayor and claiming victory for his party. turkey's strongman appears to have already lost his grip over the capital ankara for the first and undo what is happening but to time in a quarter century and now could also lose simply say, we need the people from control of istanbul. the ports of entry to go out on mr erdogan says there were irregularities in the ballot. patrol in the desert where we don't facebook has removed nearly 700 have any walls. the bbc‘s dan johnson pages and accounts linked is in el paso new mexico to the official opposition party on the southern border in india ten days before and sent this report. the country's general election. donald trump said repeatedly over an investigation found that accounts associated the weekend that if the mexican with the congress party were part of a network engaged authorities did not do more to cut in coordinated inauthentic illegal immigration, he would take a behaviour and pushing spam. step of closing the border entirely this week. that would be hugely facebook has been cracking down on accounts being used disruptive, especially at crossing to spread fake news, points like this where there are especially ahead of national elections. thousands of people, cars and trucks going back—and—forth legally everyday. that sort of mood could be

reports from the united states suggest that the rolling stones disastrous for trade in towns along the border. the president says he is star, sir mickjagger, is to undergo heart valve prepared to make that sort of threat replacement surgery this week. the band postponed their tour of the us because the situation is so serious. and canada because sir mick needed medical treatment. according to drudge report, the 75—year—old will be back on stage by the summer. just around the corner in el paso, 75 years old, extraordinary. they were asylum seekers being held japan has declared in the car park of a customs a name of a new era in the country's history — station, in the open, behind barbed to mark the reign of the next emperor. wire, having to sleep on open ground with just a file sheet to keep them warm at night. men, women, children it will be called reiwa, which means and babies kept there. some of them 0rderly harmony, and will forup to and babies kept there. some of them for up to five days. that temporary begin when crown prince naruhito succeeds his father, emperor akihito when he abdicates this month. a new era is of huge facility has been closed down and public interest in japan, as the name is widely used those people have been moved. but the pressure has not eased. some in official documents. this is beyond 100 days. people feel that sort of rhetoric and perhaps those kind of images are designed to bolster the president's case for building a wall. that is still to come: the day dinosaurs died — new fossil site his solution to this crisis. it also reveals new information about the day that a meteor highlights how divisive and hit earth and wiped out difficult this issue is because all the dinos on the planet.

the increase in the number america cannot agree on how to of violent crimes committed by young people — many of them with knives — protect this border or what to do cannot be solved just with the people who are crossing it. by increasing police powers. that was the warning from theresa may as she opened a summit on youth violence. 0ur scotland editor, sarah smith reports from glasgow it is of course l paso, texas, and where knife crime has been treated not el paso new mexico. as a public health issue for more than a decade. a border shutdown would hugely disrupt trade and travel between the us and mexico. but just how much are we talking about? there are a total of 48 us—mexico crossing points along a border that runs through four us states. there are more than 500,000 legal crossings each day — people cross by train, by road, on foot cctv captured running battles and even in ferries. the trade is worth a whopping between knife gangs on the streets $612 billion dollars anually. there's also a lot of fresh produce of glasgow, seems you are much less traded, $6.4 billion likely to witness today. jerry was worth of vegetables, plus $2.7 billion worth of avocados. caught up in that gang violence, to discuss this further, we're joined byjohn sandweg, serving to jail terms for violent former acting director of us assault. i don't think people pick immigration and customs enforcement up assault. i don't think people pick upa assault. i don't think people pick up a knife with a clear head saying, if anybody says nothing, i will use this. you were not carrying a knife with the intent to try to womb give us some sense of the sort of disruption that would follow, apart somebody? no. that that is what from the fact that america would run out of avocados in three weeks, with happens. if you get backed into a

that would be a national crisis, if corner and you take it out, if the this border really was shutdown? person doesn't move, you don't have much choice. in hospitala&e they would be dramatic consequences. departments, pink shirted staff we have hundreds of thousands of approach people coming in with stab people who live in mexico and work wounds, offering to try to help in the united states. there are break the cycle of violence. a decade ago, a tough police response was also required. the increase to manufactured goods, the trade stop and search, up to the numbers of arrests and convictions in length and prison sentences. at the largely benefits the united states and keeps the price of a lot of goods down. it would have very imposing sheriff court in glasgow, the police staged a dramatic little impact on what is happening intervention. hundreds of violent with the central american crisis. street gang members were brought shutting down the border could send here by the police and made to a message to mexico to try and push them to do a little bit more to stop listen to doctors and paramedics, them to do a little bit more to stop victims of crime, as well as ex the migration across their southern border but in terms of trying to offenders who had already turned their lives around. mocked up murder stop the flow of central americans into this country, it is going to do scenes in glasgow streets were absolutely nothing. there does seem another part of the campaign. they have reduced the times there is no to have been in the last two weeks a big pick—up in the number of people happens for real, but they haven't coming to the border to apply for eradicated the problem. 33 people asylum, which is why the white house says there is a crisis. does this we re eradicated the problem. 33 people were killed with a knife across scotla nd were killed with a knife across scotland last year.

have any impact on that, moving specifically, as we heard being said, customs agents from the border posts to areas of the border that what killed the dinosaurs? don't have a wall or a legal a question which has been mused over crossing point? no, i don't think by the worlds finest scientific minds for centuries. it's now almost unanimously agreed that holds much water, to be quite it was the impact of an asteroid honest with you. right now we are in which wiped out more than 99.99 the spring season. historically, this is the time of year when you see the numbers elevate. we are per cent of all living organisms. absolutely facing unprecedented that's quite a lot, 99.99%. that is numbers, huge numbers, interestingly basically 100. enough over 60% of them parents of but of course a lot of mystery still surrounds the event children. the us has faced numbers 66 million years ago, a mystery which now, like this in the past. in 2000, we thanks to an unsuspecting young paleontologist in north dakota, may have been solved. joining us now is douglas preston, a journalist for the new yorker would apprehend 1.5 million people who's been following this remarkable annually and we had fewer border patrol agents. the big difference story for several years. douglas, tell us what happened. with this crisis, compared to what has happened in the past as they are well, this is an amazing site, claiming asylum and the one because it records the first hour of frustrating thing for me who has spent a lot of time operationally on what happened on earth after the border issues as we are not seeing asteroid strike. normally in

the influx of immigrationjudges geology, layers represent millions that process these asylum claims. i of years, but this layer actually have no doubt they are under strain recorded almost as if in slow motion right now in terms of doing the video the first hour. the forests initial processing and registering these individuals when they come across but the real crisis as we are we re video the first hour. the forests were ignited, on fire by the falling not... we need to adjudicate their claims quickly. we are not moving it debris. an earthquake a thousand to thejudges claims quickly. we are not moving it to the judges whose claims quickly. we are not moving it to thejudges whosejob claims quickly. we are not moving it to the judges whose job it is to times more violent than anything we adjudicate on these claims. donald have experienced shook the area, and then a gigantic wave of water swept trump says he is going to cut off in carrying dead and dying animals and burning trees and eggs and bones aid, he says it is not working, what and burning trees and eggs and bones do you say about that? well, if you and everything and deposited all this debris in a certain area about the size of two soccer pitches. ask me what is the least effective thing we could do in this situation, meanwhile, blobs of molten glass that would be cutting off aid to we re meanwhile, blobs of molten glass were falling out of the sky into these countries. there are two this muck, and this is the site that things going on. there is a slight he found. that actually recorded the pull factor and our enable —— an first hour of the worst disaster to ability to process these claims ever before life on earth. so you quickly, but there is the push factor comedy destabilised nature of went up and spent time with robert

the area now. unless those countries depalma, the young palaeontologist can keep their people safe from gang who found this site, and he found feathers and bones and remnants of violence and unless there is some dinosaurs of every species remaining economic opportunity, these people are going to need to continue to come and i think you can't expect to from this day, and it sounds, douglas, a little bit like something from pompeii, as if this massive see results immediately, you cannot thing happened and everything was preserved intact. it was exactly expect these countries to stop the like pompeii and the sense that it flow of people out of their country. we have to do our part in cutting happened so quickly, and everything was entombed so quickly, that off the systems which was primarily directed at combating gangs and everything is still three—dimensional. the fish are violence, it is such a short—sighted still upright in the water, their move that is only going to mouths are open as they were exaggerate and lengthen the amount of time this crisis continues. thank gasping, gasping in the sediment you very much forjoining the laden water, and meanwhile they are sucking in droplets of glass into programme. redirector rating the their gills that are falling from views we keep hearing on this programme, whether it is central america or the middle east or their gills that are falling from the sky, and their soft tissues are africa, if you are going to address preserved, the word is preserved, theissue, africa, if you are going to address the issue, you have to address the there is sap bubbling out of trees source of the place the immigrants in which these little glass tech are coming from. you cannotjust try types or globules, the remains of to build walls and barriers in the

countries to stop them coming in and the asteroid, were falling and cutting off aid. that is not going getting stuck, so it is an amazing to be helpful. politically, picture of a horrific disaster, and these are actually the first direct republicans are jumping on these victims that palaeontologists have ever found of that massive asteroid comments, saying by any definition, impact. so douglas what has been a we now have a crisis on our southern shift in thinking, then? was there a border. 4000 apprehensions in one feeling in the scientific community that maybe we had overplayed the effect of the asteroid, and the day last week. is it politically dinosaurs were already on their way difficult for the democrats to keep denying there is actually an out? is that what has shifted here emergency on the southern border? in terms of our understanding of maybe what they are trying to say that particular day? that's exactly something a little bit more nuanced, that there is a crisis at the border what shifted. now many scientists crossing. but the chief of staff is accept that there was an asteroid saying they are going to take agents impact that contributed to the death away from those border crossings and of the dinosaurs. there has always put them into areas which are been this problem called the three between the border crossings, not metre problem, which is that no one necessarily when people outran to has ever been able to find any apply for asylum. it is a really tricky issue. yes, politically significant dinosaur remains in the three metres or nine feet below the actual layer from the impact, working for donald trump, though, of course. three metres or nine feet below the actual layerfrom the impact, and so

actual layerfrom the impact, and so a lot of scientists were saying, so katty returned from her holidays dinosaurs were already going extinct today, and asked me whether anything had really changed while she had been away, which stumped me. for many thousands or even millions because it feels like so much has of years before the impact, probably happened in the past two weeks. and yet nothing has shifted. the house of commons due to enormous volcanoes erupting is still debating with itself. the uk still doesn't have a plan. i am still here on the platform in india, and this site contains wondering where it might all end. butjust to prove that i've not been dinosaur remains from almost every resting on my laurels while she has been away, dinosaur remains from almost every dinosaurgroup dinosaur remains from almost every dinosaur group present in this area at the time, so it seems to refute here's a quick reminder.... the idea that dinosaurs were already will brexit be delayed, prime going extinct. they were in fact roaring along robustly, and they minister? the margin is narrowing. theresa may is expected to ask for would still be here if that asteroid an extension, the eu is asking what for? decide very quickly what the uk hadn't struck, and we wouldn't be here, by the way. white like wants. we are covering the uk is -- the eu summit where theresa may has douglas, thank you very much indeed. i feel enlightened. as photographs been asking for an extension. theresa may has told mps she will of incredible. and this robert step down in time for the next phase depalma, on the off chance on his of the brexit negotiations. phd, he's a bit like alexander it has been an extraordinary day in fleming coming up with penicillin,

he has stumble on this thing which westminster. parliament is in has change the way we go our control and they have put aside the thinking. quite extolled me. let me ordinary business of the house to hold this series of indicative show you the live shot at the house votes. the noes have it. tonight, of commons, because i will be here throughout the evening bringing you the results of the indicative votes. they will debate for another five minutes. here's a picture of what mps have failed to reach agreement on any of the eight options they they were looking at a short time we re on any of the eight options they were considering in the hope of breaking the dad —— deadlock over ago. in my view that is a metaphor brexit. theresa may will ask mps to for our politics at the moment, 12 vote only on the withdrawal agreement part of her deal on pairs of buttocks, a perfect picture friday. it is the day the uk was supposed to leave the eu. that describes our politics at the i clearly picked a very good time to moment. when i saw that, i thoughtjust when be away. you thought brexit couldn't get any wilder. they were actually climate and i have cancelled my leave for next week. my wife is going to be on this barrier, shouting leave, leave, change protesters. and they won't be going all in, you leave! could see a few thongs there. we will be heading back to the house you are so odd. i know. see you tomorrow.

of commons shortly. and the new discovery in the united change of month, change of weather states is set to change everything tight. but it is april the 1st, so a inside is thought they knew about little bit of tomfoolery with the the dinosaurs. weather. we had 17 degrees, believe it or not, and across much of central and southern england it was warm, but along the south, where we change of month, change of weather type. that is the story throughout had 17, tomorrow is more likely to the week. it is april the 1st, so a be nine, and that is because of this little bit of tomfoolery with the weather front gradually pushing in from the north—west. ahead of it, weather today. we had 17 degrees. it the yellow tones, the milder air, but that will be replaced by something much colder over the next couple days. that weather front will was a warm afternoon. it along the south coast, tomorrow is more likely bring some outbreaks of rain across to be9 south coast, tomorrow is more likely to be 9 degrees and that is because the pennines, through the spine of the pennines, through the spine of the country overnight tonight, of this weather front that is gradually pushing in from the stretching down through wales and north—west. that mild air is going into the south—west, ahead of it we to be replaced by something much stay slightly milder, behind it a colder. that weather front will little colder, so first thing bring outbreaks of rain across the pennines through the spine of the tomorrow morning really running down for parts of yorkshire, through the country overnight. ahead of it, we midlands towards dorset, we will see a band of cloud and rain, ahead of

it some early morning brightness, but it will cloud over into the have slightly milder conditions., afternoon and behind that weather front, a good deal of sunshine behind it colder with showers turning increasingly wintry. first coming through, but a frequent rash thing tomorrow morning, really running down through parts of of showers, particularly the further yorkshire and through the midlands north and west you are, in some of towards dorset. we will see a band those will push inland by the of cloud and rain. ahead of it, some afternoon, some heavy with hail and thunder, and turning increasingly early morning bright weather. a good wintry to the tops of higher ground as well. in terms of the feel of deal of sunshine coming through. but things, a noticeable difference, 6-8d to showers in the north and west. some things, a noticeable difference, 6—8d to the north, 8—10 to the of those will push further inland by south. colder still as we go through the end of the afternoon. in terms the night, seeing some showers flirting with that west coast, and this area of low pressure sitting on the north sea could produce a bit of of the feel of things, a notable a headache as we move towards wednesday. still some uncertainty difference. colder still as we go where that is going to sit, but if it sets into the north sea, it will bring the potential for gale force through the night. we will see some gusts of winds on those exposed showers just flirting with that west coasts, some heavy rain and some coast and this area of low pressure snow to higher ground as well, sitting on the north sea could gradually pushing its way steadily produce a bit of a headache as we south and east, a band of showers by the end of the afternoon. and move towards wednesday. some uncertainty as to where it will set feeling much colder out there, but if it sits into the north sea, sheltered western area seeing the

it will bring potential gale force best of the drier weather. as we gusts of wind, heavy rain and snow move out of wednesday and thursday and friday, we still keep the cold to higher ground as well. feeling feel, classic april showers but again some of then heavy with hail and thunder and some snow to higher much colder out there. as we move ground. so it does stay pretty u nsettled ground. so it does stay pretty unsettled for the next few days, out of wednesday, into thursday and colder, classic april showers and the return of some night—time friday, we still keep that cold frosts. take care. feel. classic april showers but some of them heavy with hail and thunder and some snow. it stays pretty u nsettled and some snow. it stays pretty unsettled for the next two days. colder with classic april showers but the return of some night—time frost. take care.
