the brexit process forward, after the house of commons failed, for the second time, to agree on its own perferred option. to agree on its own preferred option. none of the four options, including a customs union and a referendum on whatever deal mps might back, secured a majority. the ayes were 273, the noes were 276, so the noes have it. another day but still the same outcome. so the noes have it. as option after option was put to the house, each one was rejected. so the noes have it. once again mps failed to unite around a single solution. we are capable of delivering responsible government... it was veteran conservative ken clarke's proposal for a customs union that came closest, losing byjust three votes, but although parliament chose to take control of brexit, mps remain unable to speak with one voice.

what we are all asking ourselves in this deadlock is what compromise would each and every member be prepared to accept in the national interest. on a point of order, mr speaker. and after his motion to stay in the single market was defeated, the former tory minister nick boles made this dramatic announcement before walking out of the chamber. my party refuses to compromise. i regret therefore to announce that i can no longer sit for this party. man: 0h, nick, nick, don't go, come on. while some fell on their swords, others just wanted to get on with brexit. in ten days from now we are due to leave the european union, which is what17.1i million people voted for. at the end of the day, the people are sovereign, not members of parliament. we do not elect the people, they elect us. we are there to obey

their instructions and they gave us an order to leave so, for god's sake, let's just leave. whatever their position, it is clear many people, both in the uk and abroad, are losing patience with westminster‘s inability to move forward. the european parliament's brexit co—ordinator, guy verhofstadt, said: on tuesday, theresa may's deeply divided cabinet will meet to debate their next move but time does not stand still for anyone so, despite this apparent political paralysis, the clock continues to tick down towards a no deal brexit on april 12. caroline rigby, bbc news. the 12th of april not far away at

all. and for analysis of what happens next, following the latest round of brexit votes in the house of commons, go to our website. you'll also find a feature on what a softer brexit could look like. that's all at bbc.com/news or download the bbc news app. we will return to this subject a little later in the programme. the us supreme court has ruled that a convicted murderer on death row in missouri has no right to a "painless death". the ruling handed down by five judges clears the way for the execution of russell bucklew, who'd argued he should not be executed by lethal injection, as his rare medical condition could mean an agonizing death. our north america correspondent peter bowes has the details. russell bucklew had been on death i’ow russell bucklew had been on death row for 20 years, more than 20 years after being convicted of a particularly gruesome series of crimes involving rape, kidnapping and murder. he does not dispute he

was guilty of those crimes, he does not dispute the death centres but arguing about the way it is carried out. he argues the method would be cruel and unusual which is banned by the us constitution because he has a rare medical condition which produces trimmers on his neck and face which could swell during a lethal injection causing him extreme pain and the possibility of choking to death. in the arguments with the supreme court, natural gassing would bea supreme court, natural gassing would be a better form supreme court, natural gassing would be a betterform of supreme court, natural gassing would be a better form of execution. supreme court, natural gassing would be a betterform of execution. the court has said they do not buy that, they do not believe he has sufficiently argued that execution through nitrogen gas would result in a significantly less pain. the five conservative justices have also argued that essentially his legal opposition to which came just days

before his original execution date, was a delaying, stalling tactic to delay his eventual execution. there has been a lot of controversy about the apparent secrecy behind the methods used, especially as it applies to lethal injections, in a number of states. this could have a wider reaching implications and, of course, a lot of people pointing out the political differences on the supreme court and how five conservative justices here believing this execution should go ahead as a lethal injection. the liberaljudges dissenting. one saying there are higher values than ensuring execution run on time stop that is a counter argument to the statement that this was essentially a delaying

tactic. let's brief you on some of the other stories making the news: a white house whistleblower has told congress that dozens of rejected security clearance applications have been overturned by the trump administration. tricia newbold, who is a veteran white house security advisor, claims applications that were denied for serious reasons were overturned with little explanation. algeria's embattled leader, abdelaziz bouteflika, is expected to resign before april the 28th — the last day of his current term in office. mr bouteflika, who is 82 years old and has been in ill health for years, was forced to abandon his bid for a fifth term after a month of nationwide protests. venezuela's supreme court has requested that the opposition leader, juan guaido, be stripped of his parliamentary immunity. that request is expected to be approved by the government—controlled constituent assembly, within days. last week he was banned from holding office for fifteen years. scientists say a simple blood test could greatly improve

the speed and accuracy of pre—eclampsia diagnoses. the relatively common condition, which affects pregant women, can prove fatal if left untreated. researchers at king's college london say the blood test is more reliable than traditional methods using blood pressure and urine samples. what does air pollution actually do our bodies? scientists say there's growing evidence of the harm, notjust in the lungs, but in other organs like the heart and brain as well. children are known to be at particular risk and the impacts of toxins in the air are more serious than previously thought. our science editor, david shukman has more. outside of school we use a head camera to reveal air pollution. scientists are discovering that it isafar scientists are discovering that it

is a far more dangerous than previously thought. the exhaust stands out because it is hotter than the surroundings. it flows right beside the children. they are closer to the ground than adults so that health is more at risk. this is the equipment you will be using to monitor air pollution and help clean... dirty the air you breathe isa... clean... dirty the air you breathe is a... these backpacks are fitted with devices to measure the quality of the air. it sucks in air and stores the data. the children are well aware of what it could mean? stores the data. the children are well aware of what it could mean7m can go for your lungs and make you feel sick and you can, like, maybe go to the hospital. you cannot tell because it is invisible but an pollution basically is a dirty and it can cause asthma and make you really ill stop this boy, alfie, tells me how he suffers when the air is bad. it hurts here and here so i

had to stay up one night because my chest was really bad because of the polluted air and i could not go to sleep. my mum had to stay awake because she was looking after me. over the years we have learned more and more whatever pollution can do to us but we cannot see the stuff so let's imagine the tiny particles and gases that are drifting around and, as we breathe their men, we're coming to understand the inside us. the lungs and airways risk inflammation and asthma attacks. diseases like lung cancer. inside the lungs, the smallest particles can actually cross into the bloodstream and cause more harm. increasing heart disease and stroke. it may also reach the brain. the

biggest concern is for children. we 110w biggest concern is for children. we now know it affects notjust the respiratory system but your cardiovascular, your heart, your brain. our understanding of the health impact has increased and really we are learning we need to deal with this much more urgently than we thought. the hot exhaust pipe spews up pollution. next week london will launch a major effort to clea n london will launch a major effort to clean it, by charging the dirtiest vehicles to come into the centre. scientists say that is desperately needed. later in the programme we will talk about our carbon pollution and our footprint. we are asking on your thoughts on that, and using air planes. shares in ride sharing company lyft have slumped by almost 12 per cent in their second day of trading. the stock fell below their listing price as investors cashed out

after friday's bumper debut. priya lakhani, founder and ceo of century tech — a uk based education technology platform joins me now. when lyft it came to market, as others — there is a big queue — there is euphoria and excitement and people buy in but then it is common for the shares to fall significantly? yes, this has happened before. facebook did their into thousand 12, the day after the shares into thousand 12, the day after the s ha res we nt into thousand 12, the day after the shares went below the official offering price. the second day of the roadshow, they tell investors they are oversubscribed and there is a huge hype and that happens an event, what has happened here, markets wake up yesterday, thinking, although bookings have increased,

they are trading at... lyft is like uber? yes. but they are operating in a market with no proof of a whatsoever. there is no... how do lyft make any money? these sort of companies are funded by venture capital. they subsidise the fares and they do this because of market share grabs. say that sally logs then, to get a cab. she will login into lyft rather than uber. it is subsidising it in the beginning because eventually they will have to put prices up so in the future it will cost me more but it is becoming convenient and familiar. absolutely.

there has to be some balance. if you're constantly subsidising fares, you're constantly subsidising fares, you can never make that balance and get to any sort of profit. interesting discussion and we will unpack that further because berber and many other companies are coming to market. —— uber. we will talk about that later. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: all the latest sports news, with an update on arsenal's run in the premiership. the accident that happened here was of the sort that can at worst produce a meltdown. in this case the precautions worked, but they didn't work quite well enough to prevent some old fears about the safety features of these stations from resurfacing.

the republic of ireland has become the first country in the world to ban smoking in the workplace. from today, anyone lighting up in offices, businesses, pubs and restaurants will face a heavy fine. the president was on his way out of the washington hilton hotel, where he had been addressing a trade union conference. the small crowd outside included his assailant. it has become a symbol of paris. 100 years ago, many parisians wished it had never been built. the eiffel tower's birthday is being marked by a re—enactment of the first ascent by gustave eiffel. you're watching the briefing. our headlines: just 10 days before the uk is due to leave the european union, the cabinet will meet on tuesday, trying to work out what to do next. the us supreme court rules a convicted murderer on death row

in missouri has no right to a "painless death". it's a radical yet simple idea to end homelessness — give permanent homes to people who need them, without any conditions, to get them off the streets. it's called housing first, and finland has been doing it for a decade. now, the scottish government is adopting this strategy, and three cities in england are experimenting with it. our correspondentjean mackenzie has been to helsinki to see what lessons they can learn. when i was 15 i was smart enough to... this man was homeless for 20 yea rs, to... this man was homeless for 20 years, but five years ago he was given this flat for the rest of his life. what difference has it made to your life, having a home that you know you can stay in forever?m soothes me so i don't have to use

dope so much. do you still use some drugs? sometimes, yes. but less? this is fenland's approach to homelessness. give people a permanent home straight with no strings attached, then help them tackle other issues in their lives. it is called housing first, and it has been such a success here that scotla nd has been such a success here that scotland has just adopted, has been such a success here that scotland hasjust adopted, and has been such a success here that scotland has just adopted, and three of england are currently piloting the idea. patrick has come to draw on fenland's experience. how long have you been here in the house? four or five years. it almost feels intuitive. you think, why wouldn't you do it? you are much more likely, i believe, to be recovery orientated if you have your own house. while

homelessness is rising almost everywhere in europe, here in finland it is falling. but they noticed last year that female homelessness was going up. the circumstances of homeless women are much different to homeless men. they can be domestic violence, mental health, et cetera. so you have to have tailor—made support. health, et cetera. so you have to have tailor-made support. now, the government's focuses on providing homes especially for women. this is one example. two dozen flats where women can live together. they get to be part of a community, and there is more support. workers come in every day with breakfast. what was that like?

we have been in helsinki for three days now. we have seen a handful of people out begging on the street, but no—one sleeping out here. rough sleepers just are not the familiar sight that they are in other cities around the world. if anything, this proves there is a different way of helping the homeless, which the rest of the world is waking up to. now it's time to get all the latest from the bbc sports centre. hello, i'm marc edwards and here is your tuesday sport briefing. gunners fans went to be bed happy on monday night, they saw their arsenal team overtake manchester united and their bitter rivals tottenham hotspur courtesy of a 2—0 over newcastle. all smiles for alexandre lacazette who got the gunners' second goal after aaron ramsay had opened the scoring for arsenal, so they're two points clear of fourth placed tottenham butjust three points separating the home side, spurs, united and chelsea.

the teams are going to win a lot of matches at the end of the season and we need to be very consistent and very, very demanding of ourselves to take the points to keep this position, but we know it's going to be very difficult. as if ole gunnar solskjaer didn't have enough on his plate already preparing his manchester united to take on wolves later on tuesday, well, he's also had to address speculation surrounding paul pogba. united's record signing described spanish giants real madrid, as "a dream club for every player" while on international duty with france, and real boss zinedine zidane has said he likes the 26—year—old a lot. solskjaer, though, says he's going nowhere. well, zidane is an icon in france, of course.

he is a fantastic manager. he was a fantastic player — i played against him myself. he just politely answered that question. paul is happy here. he is going to be a big, big part. i have always said that we would like to build your team around him and that hasn't changed at all. juventus will visit cagliari on tuesday, hoping to extend their 15—point lead at the top of serie a. cristiano ronaldo is still injured and is struggling to be fit for the start of next week's champions league quarter—finals. and in spain, barcelona can take another step towards the title. they're at villareal. second placed atletico madrid, who are 10 points behind, are at home to girona. stage two of the afriquia merzouga rally will see competitors race over 212 kilometres of the sahara desert around erfoud in morocco. the tenth edition of the event started on monday. 127 competitors are taking part. and finally, if you've ever watched

a jackie chan movie you'll know the chinese kung fu movie star performs all his own stunts. well, as it turns out, he also has some tricks up his sleeve when it comes to snooker. here he is in hong kong with the 1997 world champion, ken doherty. keep your eye on the pink ball. boom, that's how it's done! you can see how much he enjoyed that one! he may even fancy his chances at this month's world championship now. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me and the rest of the sport team, goodbye. earlier this year, we reported on romeo, the world's loneliest frog. he'd spent a decade alone in captivity, and was thought to be the last of his species. after a long search though, a partner was found, and the pair are now getting acquainted. you can guess her name. andy beatt reports.

a first date and a last chance for one of the world rarest creatures. romeo and juliet, set to take the plunge in a new role as star—crossed lovers. but only after leaping past some strict health checks. we consulted with other experts around the world to make sure that we had taken all the precautions necessary to make sure that it was the right moment, and we all reached a decision together that we were gonna finally put them together and start learning about the reproduction of this species. untiljuliet‘s discovery in the bolivian rainforest, the future of the sehuencas water frog looked bleak. but two trips and $25,000 later, triumph. notjust one, but five frogs — three males and two females. now this couple and, in time, all the frogs have to master a romantic manoeuvre known as amplexus. amplexus is a hug with a lot of feeling and a lot of love!

when, ah, the male holds the female in the back and hold her and they, yeah, it'sjust a hug! and they hold the female. with conservationists on tenterhooks for spawn and tadpoles, and a global audience tuning in once a week on social media, the pressure is on. but early signs are good. andy beatt, bbc news. ryanair is ranked among europe's top ten carbon emitters, the first time an airline has made it into that top ten. we are asking you, are you considering your travel plans to try to reduce your carbon footprint. one viewer says i wonder if people just jump viewer says i wonder if people just jump ona viewer says i wonder if people just jump on a plane for pleasure, many

people have no other alternative. such as getting from uganda to the uk. however, we are hearing about businesses who are instead of booking flights for meetings, they are doing a lot more via other digital means. hello there. on monday in the sunshine, the temperature reached a high of 17 celsius, but we're not going to see those sort of temperatures for some time to come. any remaining warmth is getting pushed away and instead, this developing north to north—westerly wind will drag colder air across the whole of the country. and the colder air is coming in actually behind this band of cloud and rain here that is heading towards the midlands for the rush hour in the morning. already to the north—west, a peppering of quite wintry showers as well. this rain still quite heavy, though, for a while for the rush hour. it will work its way across east anglia and the south—east later in the morning. a couple of hours of dry weather and sunshine follows and then the showers come packing in. almost anywhere could catch a shower. it could be heavy with hail

and thunder and some sleet and snow over the hills, particularly in the north, and those temperatures are back down to around 8—10 degrees. now, we've got an area of low pressure sitting in the north sea as we move into wednesday. that's gonna push wetter weather back our way and all the while, we're dragging down colder air, perhaps all the way from the arctic. so this is the picture and we may well start with a touch of frost, one or two icy patches on wednesday morning, maybe a bit of snow for a while over the north york moors. but most of the wet weather looks like it is now going to come back into scotland, ran with some sleet and snow over the hills. sunshine and a few sharp showers further south, mind you. and the winds are picking up, too — strong to gale force winds, especially across northern and western parts of the uk. so these are the temperatures, very similar to what we are seeing on tuesday, perhaps a little bit lower, but when you add on the strength of the wind, well, this is what it is going to feel like, so it is going to be a really cold—feeling day, particularly in scotland underneath all of the wet weather. not too good at all. the wet weather and the cold feel, an area of low pressure and that

cold air around, the low pressure is going to take a shine to the uk, even into thursday, sitting very close by, so spiralling around it, we have these areas of showers along with spells of rain, some more sleet and snow over the high ground, perhaps a bit drier for eastern parts of england but the position of this wet weather subject to change, i suspect. and those temperatures only around 8—10 degrees, getting a bit colder again for northern scotland. and that's really the theme — it's gonna be cold few days. there'll be a lot of these april showers to come, some wintriness over the hills and with some clear skies at night, there may well be some frosts as well.
