hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. this is the scene live in westminster where british mps are attempting to break the deadlock hello, i'm ros atkins, on brexit with new votes. this is outside source. they've voted on four alternatives we are ready for the next chapter in to theresa may's brexit deal — the brexit story because in an hour and a half, we will find out how and we think within an hour will know which way they have gone. british mps have voted when faced with four options for brexit. whatever people think about this issue, whatever side of the argument they sit, they feel, can we not make some progress? whatever people think about this jean—claude juncker has this issue, they feel, can we not make message. translation: we have had a lot some progress? of patience with our british friends among the eu leaders in brussels, but patience also runs time isn't the only thing running out, comes to an end. out when it comes to brexit. as ever, your questions are welcome. translation: we have had a lot of patience with our british friends, but patience also runs out, comes to an end. we've got chris mason and christian fraser live from westminster and i'm pretty sure they will be able to we are going to take you through ta ke pretty sure they will be able to take whatever you throw their way. exactly what the mps have been

voting on and if you have questions about what is happening, send them oui’ about what is happening, send them our way as usual. fish and fraser and chris mason will be live with us as we go through the next couple of another day in westminster, hours —— christian fraser and chris another crucial moment for brexit. i was hoping to show you a live feed mason. of the house of commons, but the only thing coming in at the moment from westminster as a cop. there you go. it's half past nine. we think at another day in westminster, another crucial moment for brexit. that macro is a clock. we think at here are the live pictures, coming 10:30pm we will know which way the results have gone. —— the only thing in from westminster. that is jean—claude juncker and that is in from westminster. that is jean—claudejuncker and that is a clock telling us it is just past coming on is a clock. for context, nine o'clock. we are not expecting to hear the outcome of these four last week, theresa may failed for a third time to get any part of her votes from the mps until well after brexit deal through parliament. ten o'clock, so over an hour's time. so today mps are voting last week, theresa may for a second time on alternative failed for the third courses of action. time to get any part of her brexit deal through parliament. so today mps are voting we're still waiting for results — for a second time on alternative in the meantime, we're going to take courses of action. you through each option. as you can see from this shot — the house is now suspended as that happens. the first one is known as norway

pass, or confusingly, a separate mps will vote on four options. name, common market 2.0. we'll go through them in detail, norway isn't part of the eu. but here's a quick overview. but alongside iceland and liechtenstein, it's part firstly, staying in of the european economic area - the eea. the eu customs union. that means those countries are in the eu's single market along secondly, staying in with all the eu's members. the eu's single market — a plan called common market 2.0. the bbc'sjohn owen has more on the pros and cons of this option. brexit has no shortage ofjargon. thirdly, a new referendum on any deal that parliament agrees. this essentially means that we leave on terms similar to the ones that lastly, forcing parliament norway currently enjoys. to have the option of stopping we'd still be inside the single the brexit process if no deal market, which means we'd share common rules and regulations is a matter of days away. with the eu, and crucially, eu citizens would retain the right to live and work in the uk now, the government is under no and vice versa. obligation to act on them — the proposal also says but there would be enormous pressure that we should negotiate for the government to listen. a new customs arrangement that would mirror the existing here's a member of cabinet today. customs union, under which countries agree to, the prime minister has said she will listen to the house. one of the reasons we are in this difficulty, common taxes on imported goods which would avoid a hard border it's another very serious week, is in northern ireland. they say this would amount because of the numbers in the house. to a simple economic relationship which is free if you're wondering where this fits of all of the political paraphernalia of the modern eu.

into theresa may's plan to try critics say the plan has drawbacks. and get her deal through again, the uk would still follow many eu rules but without a say in writing them, and we would still have to contribute to the eu's budget. nicholas watts from the bbc accepting the four freedoms, including free movement newsnight programme says if an of people from the eu, option under indicative vote secures is also a big sticking point a majority, one possibility is a for many of the pro—brexit side of the argument. run—off between that and the pm has but to those who are sympathetic made a deal on wednesday. christian to the idea think that it could be the best available plan b if the government's plan a doesn't make the grade. fraser is keeping us company. give us an fraser is keeping us company. give us an idea of how the next couple of hours will go? the clients are busy if you want more on this plan, you can get it through the bbc reality counting the paper ballots at the check team on the bbc news website. moment, ros, so that will take time. it took them longer than expected this option has been proposed by last week. normally, they fell the conservative mp nick boles. through the lobbies and it's over in last week, mps voted on the same idea. 15 minutes. this will be a longer 189 voted for it, 283 voted against. process this evening. then we are firstly looking at whether any of these motions that have been brought forward can command a majority, and the majority in favour were from the also how large that majority is, opposition labour party, the majority against from the because one of the things the conservative party. last week, european union will be looking at next week in their summit in labour encouraged their mps to brussels is whether a stable support it, this time they are

majority can move that through the waiting mps to support it, meaning legislative process. and it's not if mps don't do what they are told just through the commons, but also they will incur the wrath of the through the house of lords, where pa rty‘s they will incur the wrath of the there are many remainers who might party's leadership. not like some of these softer brexit here's one of labour's frontbench. options. they might want to remain we are in the 59th minute in the eu. so there are all sorts of of the 11th hour, we are trying to find something, we are trying things that might happen in the to find a compromise and what the prime coming weeks and there isn't a lot of confidence at the moment in minister ought to know, we know, people instinctively know, compromise means give and take. brussels in the legislative process. so therefore we will be voting so it remains to be seen what they for things which are broadly in line come up with tonight. as we saw in with our policy, even things that are not exactly in line that tweet from nick watt, there is with our policy. and so therefore the a cabinet meeting tomorrow, a nick boles amendment. six—hour cabinet meeting at which they will decide whether or not to if you look at how the votes break bring the deal back for a fourth time and whether in fact, they run down, last week, you'll not find the it off against one of the options snp there. it's 35 mps abstained but they get behind tonight. last week, it shifted its position. here is the cabinet didn't get involved in these snp leader in westminster. indicative votes. they said, we are the key thing for us is that we stay not voting. but if you step out of in the european union. something, you can't influence the we want to revoke article 50, we want to put it back outcome. has the prime minister and to the people in a people's vote. her colleagues taken a different but we will be prepared approach this time? no, i understand to compromise on the basis of protecting jobs, staying in the single market and the customs that the cabinet are not taking part union, so we will vote

in the vote tonight, but ministers for the boles amendment. presumably will be able to vote and another important factor in the equation is the democratic unionist party some of them did take part last from northern ireland. time. when talking about the here's where they stand on this option. legislative process and whether you the common market 2.0 plan, first have a majority to move something of all, does not ensure that there's through the commons, you have to not a hard border on the factor in the remainers within the island of ireland, as determined by the cabinet and some of the remainers in withdrawal agreement. the lower ministerial ranks. they could prove important. the other so we have abstained on it last week, we will probably do the same this week again, but we will not be giving it thing is those two process votes. our endorsement. there is a thought that there may be let's see what christian fraser and a healthy number of mps voting for a his guest make of that option and confirmatory referendum, a second all four of them. i am a christian. referendum, if you will. that might not get a majority, but it could be there in the background to be bolted we have a very informed panel. while onto one of the other options. so we have been watching you we have maybe the commons gets behind one been talking about all of those plan and then you have a options. the director of the confirmatory referendum if that is what they choose. that would be popular among mps on both sides of the house. and in terms of how the institute for government and the associate director of the institute cabinet views this, they may not be taking part but they have certainly of economic affairs. welcome to you got strong views on which way the all. while we were talking about government should turn at this

common market 2.0, you said it's juncture? theresa may is very much between a rock and a hard place at intolerable, the uk won't stick it? the moment, because there are those ididn't intolerable, the uk won't stick it? i didn't personally say it was brexiteers and her cabinet, seven or intolerable but i think the uk might eight of them who would say this doesn't look like the brexit that we well find it intolerable, at least, i was quoting to you what senior want. it crosses all the red lines, it is not what is in the manifesto european diplomats have said to me and they have said, though, that from 2017. then there are of course kind of thing, essentially the single market was a very close cabinet secretaries like amber rudd, david gauke, who would say, we need customs union, that's ok for a very small countries but surely the uk to find compromise. we need to parliament and people would find it intolerable, having to take most of coalesce around a softer brexit in the rules of the single market and the house because this deal has been contribute to the eu budget and so voted down three times. so you have got those very apparent splits and on but not having any say in making the problem for the prime minister those rules. so they are sceptical is that she chooses one way or the that the uk would actually have that other, there is danger that some of them will walk from the cabinet. and for a long time if that's what in terms of labour's approach to mps... for a long time if that's what mps. .. regularly for a long time if that's what mps... regularly when for a long time if that's what mps. .. regularly when you consider this, i noticed that they have how restless the uk has been as a changed how they advising mps to rule maker rather than a rotator. vote on one option. take a through yes, as eu diplomats and bidders will tell you, for a very long time their position on all four. they are the uk has tried to have it its way going to whip tonight on common while being in the club, and they market 2.0, which is close to the

labour plan because nick boles and are sceptical how it would behave if it were one step further out in this stephen kinnock, who have been the architects of this plan, are calling norway like position. but you think it is the best compromise of all the for a permanent customs union and also a single market. labour's options on the table? what i was thinking is that if we look at the policy was closer alignment to the sustainability of all the options, people say no deal but people in single market. they are not going to favour of no deal talk about deals, and a free trade agreement, that whip tonight, interestingly, on joanna cherry‘s motion, the snp will still take lasers taking rules, motion to take no deal of the table the customs union will still take if no decision has been made by the leavers taking rules, the custom 12th of april. but we are also looking to see how many of them union single market 2.0 is only one might get behind just a customs that gives us a small amount of say, union, which is the ken clarke of a the others give us even less so. so you're still in a situation where conservative mp motion. and how many none of the options look completely of them will stick behind a second sustainable, so how do you pick a compromise? perhaps this will need referendum? we have already seen a number of labourmps to be negotiated. so it's not... referendum? we have already seen a number of labour mps who are backing that second referendum option. there permanent state of negotiation?‘ wasn't much in terms of abstention in the first round of votes, so not permanent state of negotiation?‘ much in terms of going for that permanent state of negotiation, you may be standing here for many years. option even though it was one with it interesting, people say, we made the most numbers of votes last time. a decision, we should move on, and you've said, hang on, no, this needs i have a question here saying, why

to be negotiated as well? there did the speaker choose these four isn't an off—the—shelf model that options? well, largely he was guided fits the uk? no, there is no by the way mps voted last week. off—the—shelf model, and if you look chris mason is in at common market 2.0, it's a cherry central lobby for us. picker, it suggesting the uk could have a single market in customs i think you have company. union but still have a seat at the i think you have companylj i think you have company. i haven't, sorry to disappoint you! it is just table when it comes to negotiating the year's free trade deal, because me. you buy two and you end up with when you're in that custom union one only one. here we are in central of the major losses, one of the lobby. it is all going to start major benefits of brexit you would happening soon. the counting is now lose is that you cannot negotiate your own free trade deals around the under way. the voting finished half world. the eu would have to agree to an hour ago. picking up on the point this, of the specifics of the common you were mentioning from a viewer about the basis upon which to make's market 2.0, you can'tjust pull it off the shelf and implement it motions were selected, there was a tomorrow, it would be a new process lot of anger from some brexiteers, of discussions. the eu might like it who felt that the selection, the but there is a very real reality that the eu would push back as well. platter of options if you like, that mps were allowed to vote on tonight lots of caveats. stay with me. we will go back for a second and then we re mps were allowed to vote on tonight were far too remain oriented and we'll come back and talk about the customs union. let's run that ultimately nerve them and up to through a couple of other options being brexit as they would sit. some of them are of course advocating facing mps. there have been a lot of moment in another referendum or revoking this brexit story where things have article 50, the process of leaving

been surprising and surreal. this the eu, and the others involved perhaps topped it all. a moment tying in either to the customs union earlier in the house of commons, or the customs union and the single this is real, there was a naked or market and for some brexiteers, an association with those two schemes semi naked protest by climate change amounts to not delivering brexit. protesters who glue themselves to let's bring ourselves up to speed. the security glass between the mps the counting is under way. it took a and people in the viewing gallery. couple of hours when this happened all the more impressive was that last week. might be quicker this eve ryo ne all the more impressive was that everyone below was very british and week because it is just four motions just carried on with the debate is rather than eight last week. if this wasn't playing out at the top, and you might see that tom probably, probably is a good read at the moment when covering brexit, we quips, which one is the norway will probably get the result in an hour. there is some expectation model? management going on, which often happens when polling stations have been opened, but one or two people back to the serious stuff, we'll talk about the customs union now. have been saying to us privately and this was tabled by ken clarke, well publicly that they think there might not be a majority for anything known for being pro—eu. the same again. in other words, option was voted on by mps last not be a majority for anything again. in otherwords, we not be a majority for anything again. in other words, we could be just where we were last week. and week. 265 were in favour, mostly that might mean the whole thing happens again on wednesday. and a labour, 271 voted against, quick question on behalf of viewers conservatives, so it was tight. and in the uk and elsewhere who are the closest of all of them, sorry, thinking, why did mps and the government not to work through what it was the closest of the votes we

they would support towards the beginning of the negotiations rather saw last week. let's hear ken clarke talk about the idea. than a couple of days before the end? as reasonable questions go, thatis end? as reasonable questions go, that is a very reasonable one. why? if you pass motion c, it means you have no tariffs, because the prime minister hoped you have no certificates of origin, the irish that her own plan would be border question pretty well is solved. you are well under way, 90 odd percent on the way, to successful. any prime minister hopes maintaining the belfast to be able to steer their own business through the house of commons and i supposed to cede good friday agreement. control of a process so early on in the premiership would be to admit that you are in office but not in let's remind ourselves exactly what power. so she wanted to use the the custom union is. here's the office of prime minister and her bbc‘schris morris. government, held together with the democratic unionist party in northern ireland, a minority government propped up by a smaller party, to get her version of brexit agreed to and signed off by parliament. up to now, that has basically, the customs union makes trade between the 28 eu countries easier. clearly proved unsuccessful. so we when goods move between them are into this process of indicative there are no customs checks or charges imposed. but when goods enter the customs union from the rest of the world, votes. but it is not an unreasonable there is a common charge, known as a tariff. question to wonder why this kind of take cars. thing didn't happen sooner given that charge is 10% of their value.

that we are due to leave the it's a way of protecting eu goods european union a week on friday. from cheaper foreign imports. obviously, though, if you're in the customs union, thank you very much. we are going to you've got to play by its rules. most importantly, one country, the uk, for example, can't strike its own trade deals with other countries around the world. come back to this story in ten, 15 the eu negotiate trade deals for all its members. minutes and we will run you through why? well, because if the uk all of those four options that the was able to set tariffs mps are choosing from. although for imported cars at, say, 5% rather than 10%, then all those cars would be sent these things are fluid, we think we to the uk more cheaply and get free will get a result, orfour results, access to the rest of the eu, in aboutan giving the uk an unfair advantage. will get a result, orfour results, in about an hour and 20 minutes' time, although when we were doing now, the government would like to keep most of the benefits this last week, the timings were nothing like what we had been led to of the customs union but still be able to do its own trade expect! so don't hold me to that. deals with everyone else. but the eu is saying that's now some of the other stories of the not really on offer. day. now to turkey. local elections have not gone last week the proposal was supported by labour. to plan for president erdogan. but a customs union is rejected he's lost control of the capital by many brexiteers. ankara for the first time in 25 years. the international trade secretary it also looks like he's lost liam fox is one of them. istanbul by a whisker too. i think a customs union this really matters. don't take my word for it. is a betrayal of brexit. voters chose to take back control and now mps are a turkish journalist @cakir—rusen says thus vote wanting to give even more away. is "as historic as that of 1991!" —

that's the year mr erdogan was elected as istanbul mayor. the european union would be able to make he says a page that was opened 25 the rules and we would have to follow them. they would be able to negotiate yea rs he says a page that was opened 25 years ago is being turned. we will see about that, but this is certainly a blow for the president access to uk markets such and his akp party. a seniorfigure as agriculture whether or not we wanted it, and we would simply in the party has said, we have have to lump it. identified valid and invalid votes. we must not allow the destruction of back to you, kristian. our countrymen. we will see how that we have just seen back to you, kristian. we havejust seen liam fox there, the secretary for international shakes down as they contest it. trade, he would be out of a job if we had a customs union! the other these are pictures of the opposition night he would not be able to go out figures celebrating their results in making international trade dealsm ankara. more opposition figures here, partying in style. they are he spent the cups cooked couple of yea rs he spent the cups cooked couple of years preparing to do. —— last also welcoming their achievements in couple of years. it gives away the the capital. much more subdued when the capital. much more subdued when the president held a rally for his ability to forge new trade deals... supporters. they had far less to jump up supporters. they had far less to jump up and down about. mark lowen is the bbc‘s it almost certainly doesn't deal correspondent in turkey. with services which are three erdogan has been punished quarters of our economy. it has many problems. it begins to some parts of

the problem of the irish border but by his usually loyal conservative not completely. you could have some trade in services? you can do trade pious supporters for the economic crisis that turkey is now in. agreements on services but there are it's an economy in recession, few and far between in the road at inflation is at 20% and the turkish the moment, so it would be tricky but we do say we want to expand our currency has plunged by a third over trade in services so arguably, it the last year. means we'll have to be creative and find there's no agreement while what it means is that there will be perhaps renewed talk protecting our existing of a split within his party. we know that several high—level manufacturing, and that's the reason figures are unhappy at his labour is particularly strong on increasingly authoritarian line. and it appeared for his 16 years this, it should protect the existing in power that he was almost unbeatable, invincible, car manufacturing and others. rose and that he towered over has just shown us ken clarke who is a moribund, divided opposition. finally, after these local elections, it appears of course sponsoring this motion, that the image has changed. saying it solves 90% of the problems with the belfast agreement, the good friday agreement, but i'm not stay with us on outside source — entirely sure that that has been resolved in the house of commons!m still to come... we'll go to ukraine, where a comedian with no political experience has won the most votes the customs union is essentially a in the first round of the country's panda backstop, so some might say it presidential elections. solves a backstop issue because it's permanent, but many would say the backstop is the problem. so it's not obvious that it gets any kind of reconciliation. it's not obviously a two million workers in the uk

are getting a pay rise from today, as the minimum wage goes up. but utility bills and the cost of the tv licence are going up as well. our correspondent, simon gompertz has been explaining what the increase means for those on the minimum wage. the national minimum wage system is age—related. the biggest one is called the national living wage. that is for people aged 25 and over. it's going up by nearly 5% to £8.21 an hour. so it's an increase of 38p. and the lower age leveljust below that, 21 to 2a, is also going up by a bit less, just over 4%. it will be £7.70 an hour. the tuc unions are saying that lower level should be the same as the higher level, but of course, teenagers and apprentices have even lower minimum wages. they will be seeing

some increases as well. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is brexit. british mps are attempting to break the deadlock on brexit with new votes on alternatives to theresa may's brexit deal. another day in westminster, another crucial moment for brexit. chris mason is in central lobby for us. i let you down a couple of minutes ago by being on my own, so i thought i would find someone to talk to to meet the billing you gave me, so here he is, phil wilson, labour meet the billing you gave me, so here he is, philwilson, labour mp. you have been behind one of the big arguments in talent for the last couple of weeks. explain to our audience in the uk and around the world what you are pushing for. audience in the uk and around the world what you are pushing fonm is me and peter kyle, the mp for

hove and we have a motion saying that whatever agreement it agreed to between the british government and the eu should go out to the british people for final ratification. that means that when the limitation bill goes through parliament and becomes an act of parliament and it is all put to the british people for them to say, we want to go ahead with this or not. we believe the british people have the right to compare what brexit is now with what the brexit facts are compared to what the promise we were made to and half years ago and if it compares favourably or not. so what would happen if this got the right numbers, you would then be willing to back the prime minister's deal but then there would be a referendum at which point you would want to vote remain? we would facilitate the passage of the day through parliament. then it would go to the british people. if the british people agreed with it, we would implement it, just like the good friday agreement or the av

referendum from 2011whether legislation was in place. if that referendum had gone the other way, it would have just been implement it. it's the same with this. so all these arguments are and needing three or four referendums go in the bin. we genuinely believe that the agreement we have got before us now and whatever we devise going forward wasn't really on the ballot paper backin wasn't really on the ballot paper back in 2016. sol wasn't really on the ballot paper back in 2016. so i think people have the right to look at that and say, do we still want to go ahead with this? they should have the final say and they should be able to see how it compares with what they were promised two years ago. and what cou nts promised two years ago. and what counts as success for you tonight? last week, we got the most votes. i know all the propositions went down, but ours was different to a proposition like the customs union. ours isa proposition like the customs union. ours is a process. so it's what kind of votes they pick up. ours can hang onto any of those agreements. all it is saying is that the people should

have the final say on what is decided by parliament. we topped the polls last week. we would love to do it this week, but also get it over the line so there are more people voting for it than against it. picking you up on the last point you made, as you say, you can ultimately attach the idea of another referendum to any proposition. you happen to have pinned it to the government's deal, but it could be pinned to anything. that's right. it isa pinned to anything. that's right. it is a confirmatory ballot rather than a second people's vote. the reason we have done this is because we have got an agreement. we know it has a few problems at the moment but if it gets through, we will help to get it through as long as it goes to the people for final ratification. whatever else is decided, whether it's a customs union or common market 2.0, the same could apply to that. the people have the right to decide and look at how the brexit facts compare with the promises made two and a half years ago. thanks

very much. phil wilson, the labour mp. i shall carry on loitering and see who i can grab hold of and pop back when i have found anyone else. we will be waiting! that was chris in the lobby of the houses of parliament. let switch to brussels and the perspective from there. our corresponding katya adler says the eu is watching closely. guy verhofstadt, european pa rliament‘s brexit coordinator says: "#brexit is not a bad april fool'sjoke, but a tragic reality for all our citizens and business. it is now five to midnight. today mps must find a compromise & stop this chaos. this evening, for once voting "yes", instead of every time voting "no". chris earlier was saying some people are saying the way the numbers are stuck in, we could end up with none

of these four options getting a majority. and this is jean—claude juncker on italian tv. translation: we have had a lot of patience with our british friends. but patience, also, runs out, comes to an end. i would like for britain to reach an agreement within hours, days, on the path to follow. to this day, we know to what the british parliament says ‘no', but we don't know to what it might say ‘yes german minister michael roth isn't pulling any punches. at the weekend he said 90% of the uk cabinet have "no idea how workers think, live, work and behave... born with silver spoons in their mouths, who went to private schools and elite universities". "i don't know if william shakespeare could have come up with such a tragedy, but who will foot the bill?" damian grammaticas is with us from brussels. presumably he is worried

that the european union will foot some of the bill? he is worried most of all about ordinary british citizens, workers and voters. that was what he really meant by that. he was what he really meant by that. he was saying that the people in parliament who came from rich families, who had been to private schools, would be ok. they would be cushion from the economic impacts of a no—deal brexit and all the economic pain that could bring. the interesting thing if you listen to all of those comments that you just played, jean—claude juncker, michael roth, is the sheer tone of frustration you hear on the level of criticism of the uk. this is something that wasn't even heard two weeks ago. it really tells you that eu patients on this site is running very thin. and that is important

because on the end of next week, friday next week, is the date we are heading for. the uk leaves the eu on the 12th of april. that is the current base case scenario. unless parliament can agree something and the government as well in the uk can agree something to come back to the uk to ask for an extension. but it is in the eu's gift to grant that or not, and the uk has to make up its mind fast. lets explore the economic dimension of brexit a little more. one important bit of context here is that germany's manufaturing sector has hit a 6 year low. italy and france are also in decline. here's the data on an economic indicator known as the purchasing managers' index — it shows the downturn in manufacturing across the eurozone. this is the steepest decline since the peak of the eurozone's debt crisis in 2012. brexit is listed as one of the factors.

damian, when you talk to diplomats and politicians in brussels, do see brexit in economic terms or primarily in terms of the idea of the eu? they see it in both. the economic impact is a real concern and a growing one because they see european companies and businesses already starting to have to plan contingency plans, mitigation efforts, spending money on things that are not productive but are preparing themselves in case there isa hard, preparing themselves in case there is a hard, no—deal brexit. that is one thing. the other thing is the political impact. and there we see two things, the eu worried about the spill—over effect from the chaos in westminster. they don't want that infecting the european elections coming up. equally, you have people like president macron worried about the impact if this continues on his

own elections, the european elections happening in france, and the potential performance of the eurosceptic parties there, the national front. so there are concerns on both sides. but interestingly, the countries most impacted economically and politically, the country is geographically closest to the uk, france, belgium, germany and the netherlands, are the ones most inclined to take the toughest line. thank you very much. we will return to westminster in a few minutes. shares in the ride—hailing app lyft have tumbled on its second day of trading. it's all over worries about whether the firm can deliver a profit. samira hussain is in new york. lyft started trending for the first time on friday and it soared 23% higher and then it fell and ended the day on friday 9% higher. fast forward to today, and markets have

just closed and it has fallen below the price that it started trading at. what is happening? a lot of investors are looking atjust how profitable the company is and guess what? the company has not turned a profit and it is not going to for a long time. but investors would have already known this after pouring through some of their data before they put those shares and before they put those shares and before they started trading on friday. so they started trading on friday. so the only way i can explain it is fomo. there is lots of fomo on wall street. fear of missing out. thank you very much. we will talk about that on a night when there aren't big brexit development all the time. we think we are about an hour away from knowing which, if any of those four brexit options mps have supported. we will be back with chris mason and christian fraser in

a couple of minutes' time. time to look at some of the big weather stories around the world. we will head to north america first, where a frontal system has become very slow moving. you can see this stripe of cloud. but this is not causing major problems. on monday night, we will see a widespread frost across many parts of the usa because there is cold air in place. even by day, temperatures will struggle. but that front in the south—east will spin into an area of low pressure which were slide over the east coast as a nor‘easter storm. there will be rain clipping close to the coastline, but also some really strong winds. gales will bring rough seas as well. in south

america, these pictures came from peru, where there has been significant flooding over recent days and weeks. rivers have burst their banks, and this has caused major problems. the forecast is not much better as we move into tomorrow. more very heavy thundery downpours affecting peru as well as much of the north of south america, all the way through bolivia into paraguay and northern argentina. so expect more stories of flooding from this part of the world. we have also seen some really vicious downpours across the north—east of india. this picture was taken in kolkata over the weekend. we have seen a lot of thunder and lightning in really heavy rain. look at these angry storm clouds that have been moving across the area. the stones are set to continue here across the north—east of india, but also into bangladesh, rutan and nepal, where thunderstorms over the weekend caused significant damage and some loss of life unfortunately as well. elsewhere across south asia, it is a much quieter time and it is all

about the heat, which is building across the north—western parts of india. temperatures well into the 40s celsius. closer to home, this picture was taken in northern italy, where things have been really dry recently and rivers are reported to be at exceptionally low levels. the satellite picture from the last couple of days shows that things have been clear with sunshine and clear spells by night as well. high pressure has been in charge, but this is set to change a bit. frontal systems which have been affecting the north—west of the uk will continue to dive southeastwards as we move through the next 2a hours. behind that, we get into some blustery winds some wintry showers. we may even see some rain into northern italy. there will also be snow over the alps and there's temperatures in paris are down into single digits. it is that sort of weather that we have to contend with here at home over the next few days, chilly with wintry showers. more details coming up in half an hour.
