it is business as normal if you are expected to continue are expected to continue between the government and labour, in an attempt to find a brexit between the government and labour, ignore the fact it is in in an attempt to find a brexit deal acceptable deal acceptable to mps. to mps, and last night, administration. this allows them to a backbench bill ordering the prime minister to seek implement the plans they imposed earlier in the year to come to a new the negotiating teams will be joined an extension to article 50 passed by chancellor philip hammond into law, it means a minister must and shadow chancellor deal with landlords on some big come to the commons this afternoon with a motion pledging to request stores, reduce some of the rents, john mcdonnell, with the labour a brexit delay. frontbencher saying they hoped to "broaden the talks". and get this - programme and last night, the european union's chief and get this closure programme through to try to put it back on a negotiator michel barnier has been a this backbench bill, speaking at a press conference this ordering the prime minister to seek morning — and reiterrated more sound financial footing. mike an extension to article that the bloc would not be willing ashley is the one who has had his 50 passed into law, it means a minister must come to the commons this afternoon with a motion pledging approaches rejected by debenhams, he to request a brexit delay. to reopen the withdrawal agreement. has been willing to put up money to help. but he has wanted to be translation: as i said this we will reflect on all of those cross— party nominated boss of debenhams. strands in a moment but let's begin translation: as i said this cross—party platform is the new debenhams has refused twice. element which could lead to a with corresponding tojenny hill in request which we would be willing berlin. we saw the images of angela debenhams has refused twice. debenhams are now trying to not only to agree to but also to use reorganise to get back on track. merkel and theresa may greeting one for our future relations, why is this different to a normal another, what can mrs merkel offered not only to agree to but also to use for ourfuture relations, but you will have heard me say on a number administration, when we hear that theresa may, because the ball is phrase, it is followed byjob very much in the eu's court. it is, of occasions first of all that the losses, closures. that is it, it is withdrawal agreement is not going to but let me begin by explaining that

be reopened, it is not up for the pictures you see of the two leaders greeting one another were negotiation again, that continues to be the case. secondly the political gone. this is different. why do the taken a few minutes after what the german press are referring to as lenders think it can emerge from theresa may's begging tour got off declaration that will set the framework for future relations can this? toa theresa may's begging tour got off to a rather awkward start when mrs they seem to believe the underlying business is still strong and they be improved, we can provide an mae first arrived at the are saddled with a massive debt, chancellery, normally angela merkel would be waiting on the red carpet to greater but instead mrs may increased level of ambition if that £640 million. they have got these stepped out of the car to an empty is the wish of the uk. i think we red carpet and mrs merkel nowhere to expensive stores with expensive be seen. mrs may was forced to walk rent. if you imagine the state of can show you some pictures just end the high street. big stores in prime up be seen. mrs may was forced to walk up the carpet into the chancellery of the prime minister arriving in alone, it was only a few minutes locations costing a lot of money. later that the two leaders came out berlin for those discussions with angela merkel. our correspondent in they want the opportunity to go back and then posed for the cameras. pretty pure symbolism for theresa to those flannels and say we either berlin was telling us earlier that go under entirely and you don't get may but this i think of all the mrs merkel is one of the more anything, or negotiate and reduce meetings and discussions she will have to date was potentially going relaxed eu leaders when it comes to to be one of the easiest and that of the idea of an extension but of the rent. that should help them reduce their debt. this allows them course there are concerns in germany course is because angela merkel about what the uk remaining in the probably of all the eu 27 leaders is to reset. but anyone who has an certainly among the most relaxed investment will see that has about granting britain more time, eu over a period which includes more space european elections, what impact that diminished sharply. share prices about granting britain more time, more space to try and find a have been falling for the past few solution to the brexit impasse. i am might have, we'll hear more from yea rs, have been falling for the past few years, worth just a few pence. this jenny soon. told she spent time on the phone

starting to emerge between various for the brexit process yet. you a record of the climate going back around 1.5 million years, member states in terms of their might remember last friday theresa which could help with future predictions about climate change. respective approaches to britain, i may wrote to donald tusk the would expect today to see no more here's our science president of the eu council correspondentjonathan amos. requesting the extension and talking than a real message of unity coming about the fact that she was going to it's a never—ending from both berlin and paris and that have cross—party talks with jeremy of course because the leaders in corbyn the leader of the labour expanse of white. both capitals know only too well party, that to the eu is not enough. this is one of the most that right now as all the drama remote places on earth, high in the interior of the east the fact that there is a process is antarctic ice sheet. continues eu's greatest strength lies in showing that it is united. not enough, they want an end product temperatures here are regularly down to that process before they will thank you. give the thumbs up to an extension. around minus 50 celsius. but it's in this freezer that having said that, the luxembourg the european union's chief answers are likely to be found negotiator michel barnier has been to explain how our planet's climate speaking at a press conference this foreign minister made it clear, when will change over the morning — and stressed that it was for mrs may and the uk we suggest to him this morning when the coming century. to spell out what they see he arrived is there any chance of a consortium of european scientists the uk leaving on friday with no as the purpose of any extension deal, which is the legal default have picked the location, written into law, he said certainly called little dome c, to the brexit process. to drill for the oldest continuous ice core on earth. not. another thing that michelle the beyond epica project has spent translation: this extension must barnier said is that the eu is the past three years camping out serve a purpose. it has got to serve on the barren landscape and surveying what lies beneath. they're now convinced that there's prepared to very quickly alter the a column of compacted snow underfoot political declaration, the better of that records the contents a purpose, to provide more time, if the brexit deal which talks about of the atmosphere over the past 1.5 million years. necessary , a purpose, to provide more time, if necessary, to ensure that the the brexit deal which talks about the future relationship and is political process i have described non—binding but provides a blueprint for the relationship, for the what they're after are ice samples like these, which contain tiny can be crowned with success. and

negotiations on the future trapped bubbles of ancient air, relationship, he is prepared to including the important greenhouse that this majority can be attained. change that in a matter of hours or gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. the issue of the length of the days if the conservatives and labour if the scientists can measure party ca n days if the conservatives and labour party can agree on something like a the bubbles' content accurately, extension which has been discussed at grey length with its possible customs union for the future they'll be able to chart relationship. so michelle barnier pros and cons, i am not going to saying thinks he has said before and the climate's ups and downs, make a statement on that, from my some things he has not said before but the fact is we are all waiting its ice ages, far into the past, vantage point, it is not up to me to for that meeting of eu leaders in and that will give them far more do so but the duration of the brussels tomorrow night at 6pm confidence as they project how because it is they who will make the the climate's set to change extension has got to be in line with long into the future. jonathan amos, bbc news. decision about another delay to the a leading pharmacy group says the purpose being striven for, that brexit process. we are nowjoined by our chemists in england are reporting is what i would say. political correspondent jonathan blake in westminster. increasing problems obtaining some 0ur europe reporter adam generic medicines for patients. fleming is in luxembourg, and has sent us this update. the pharmaceutical services negotiating committee says more drugs have gone up in price michelle barnier in that news conference this morning was talking because of supply issues than at any time since 2014. preparations for brexit are among what has been happening in luxembourg today is a meeting of eu about the discussions going on here general affairs council, that is the between the conservatives and the factors being blamed. eu affairs ministers from the member 0ur health editor hugh pym has states making first of all this labour, he cold them a new element been looking into this for us this morning. morning without the uk to talk about ina labour, he cold them a new element in a serious and complex situation brexit, and that request from the uk and expressed expectation and hope for it —— for there to be a delay that this dialogue would lead to what drugs are we talking about? for it —— for there to be a delay something. are you hearing any for the brexit process until the 30th ofjune. the minister spoke for sounds or signs that it might be? 0ne what drugs are we talking about? one of them is an epilepsy drug, the about an hour, they heard from michel barnier, the chief

no real progress on those talks this epilepsy society said there has been negotiator, who came out and give a press co nfe re nce negotiator, who came out and give a morning, i think they are at a steep rise in number of patients press conference where he briefed us on what they will be discussing. the something of an impasse, although struggling to get that drug when they go into their local chemist main thing to point out about what the conversations are still happening, the process is still michel bernier was saying is that ongoing on both sides are making the the uk must come up with a credible because of supply problems. this is point that they don't want to rush road map, a plan tojustify an not acceptable, they say this goes this, but there is an element of back a couple of years and there are extension to the brexit process and urgency as ministers and shadow disruptions which happen quite the length of the extension would be ministers on the labour side sit frequently. the government needs to based on the purpose of the down and continue those talks about get to grips with the issue of extension. now into that we can read supply of these generic medicines. where possibly the government and that the eu does not think theresa labour party may be able to come to last week,, one of the main an agreement on some sort of may has provided a clear enough justification for delaying the compromise revised brexit deal but manufacturers, a french company, said there were supply columns brexit process yet. you might as the prime minister heads to continental europe for those dating back to a factory last year remember it last friday theresa may high—level discussions with the wrote to donald tusk the president and they were trying to restore the of the eu council requesting the chancellor in germany, angela merkel supply across the uk. extension and talking about the fact and president macron, there are that she was going to have reminders all over the place back in westminster of just what a difficult cross— party that she was going to have cross—party talks with jeremy corbyn we mentioned brexit, to what extent the leader of the labour party, that position she is in. for leader of is brexit a factor? to the eu is not enough. the fact the house of commons andrea led some that there is a process is not this morning making the point that the french company made clear brexit enough, they want an end product to was not an issue, this had happened it would be grey as far as she is that process before they will give in the supply chain. with generic the thumbs up to an extension. concerned if angela merkel decides that the withdrawal agreement, the having said that, the luxembourg medicines, there are quite often price spikes and it becomes more foreign minister made it pretty bit of the brexit deal which sets clear, when we said to him this difficult for pharmacists to get morning when we arrived at any the divorce bill, the financial

settle m e nt the divorce bill, the financial hold of drugs, relating to global chance of the uk leaving on friday settlement as well as safeguarding citizens' rights and laying out the with no deal which is the legal supply. but the pharmaceutical transition period, could be default written into law, he said reopened. which is quite services negotiating committee certainly not. another thing michel extraordinary because the prime warned mps last year brexit minister and the eu have been at pains to point out at every stage contingency planning was one of the barnier said what he have said since it was agreed that that part before but it is worth repeating is of the deal at least is locked down factors which contributed to that the eu is prepared to very shortages. quickly alter the political and cannot be changed. but andrea not in this epilepsy drug. led some hoping that it might be declaration which is the bit of the more generally. the government has able to be. the prime minister is brexit deal that talks about the made clear to the industry they won future relationship and is off to see angela merkel today and i a six week stockpile built up, non—binding, but provides a think it would be fantastic if blueprint for the relationship for angela merkel tried to support a proper uk brexit by agreeing to although, unofficially, there may be negotiations on the future relationship. he is prepared to reopen the withdrawal agreement, other stockpiling. the drugs industry has built up that stockpile provide that in the hours or days of there have been in rumours over the but there may be other factors to do the conservatives and labour party weekend that some senior member of can agree on something like a the german government would be willing to do that to get theresa with people possibly anticipating a customs union for the future relationship. so michel barnier may's deal across the line. the no—deal brexit. the government is saying something she has said adamant if everyone does what they before, something she has not said have been asked, there will not be prime minister is seeking a delay, before, something she has not said before, but the fact is we are all thatis prime minister is seeking a delay, supply disruption should there be a that is what the house has pushed up waiting for that meeting of eu leaders in brussels tomorrow night oi'i that is what the house has pushed up on herand she no—deal. the advice for people who take these that is what the house has pushed up on her and she will be seeking a at 6pm, because it is they who will delay until june 30 on her and she will be seeking a delay untiljune 30 but as the make the decision about another person with the responsibility to get the legislation through, if we drugs? the epilepsy society have delay to the brexit process. can get the prime minister's deal over the line, because the eu have we are joined by our political correspondent jonathan blake in westminster. decided to support measures for a

made clear you will get your drugs backstop then that would be the best possible outcome but we will have to eventually, you need to go to your see what happens, the prime minister new n ew fa ces new faces getting involved in the has some very important meeting pharmacist to discuss it. it can be conservative and labour talks to city. thank you. possibly wishful sourced from elsewhere. do not leave break the brexit deadlock but is thinking from andrea led some but there any news of any progress on it until the last minute. these she is seizing on those rumours that that? no news in terms of progress. she is seizing on those rumours that problems can be overcome with the she describes in that the german government may be willing to right sort of advice. underlying countenance opening the withdrawal agreement and i have to say there is this is for certain generic little evidence of that so far. medicines there are issues around as the prime minister is on to the country and as we have heard germany and france for those those talks then between government there has been a call for a wider meetings with their eu counterparts ministers and labour shadow inquiry why that is happening. to ask that extension to the brexit ministers and labour shadow ministers continue about where they process to give her a bit of wiggle may be able to come to some in a moment, we'll have room to get the deal past year at agreement, and the shadow chancellor all the business news. telling us this morning that he is but first, the headlines westminster there are reminders all joining those discussions and on bbc news. over the place aboutjust how theresa may arrives in berlin and will also make a trip to paris restricted she is, not only has mentioning that a further referendum to urge the german and french parliament passed that bill which is definitely part of the would force the government to ask leaders to agree to a brexit delay. conversation. foran would force the government to ask for an extension if it has not what we're trying to do is make that the day before an eu summit already done so, but cabinet are to consider a further extension, we arrive at a deal that is the the eu's chief brexit negotiator, making clear their opinions on michel barnier, insists first of all best for the economy brexit and where the government and we don't think theresa may's the withdrawal agreement should go from here once again. the deal does that and we will also will not be reopened. discuss the issues that she has couples in england and wales will be leader of the house of commons raised in cabinet as well about allowed to split up more andrea leadsom very much a brexit here saying this morning that as far quickly without blaming each other as she is concerned it would be under major changes to divorce laws. ideal of germany decided it could going back to that might bite back will she move her red lines? yeah, reopen to withdrawal agreement. that she has not so far but we are trying is the part of the brexit to let

to be as constructive as we can with theresa may so far as set is locked the talks, i am joining them today with the chancellor as well so we down, and the eu has said the same, now, it's time for brought the talks out and try and there is no chance of renegotiating move on. and jonathan a reminder of the business news. that agreement on citizens' rights and financial settlement and of how complex and difficult those debenhams fell into course the controversial backstop talks are, with the news that the administration after it rejected but that has not stopped andrea leadsom suggesting that it could be. international trade secretary liam a new offerfrom sports direct fox has written a letter to made in the early hours the prime minister is off to see conservative mps saying that a of tuesday morning. angela merkel today and what i think customs union in his words would be would be fantastic is if angela the worst of both worlds. in that mike ashley offered to pump £200 merkel will try to support a proper million into the department store. uk brexit by agreeing to reopen the withdrawal agreement. sort of environment it is difficult there have been rumours to see how the two sides can somehow debenhams has gone into what's known at the weekend at some as a pre—pack administration senior members of the german meet in the middle somewhere. yes, under which shops can continue government would be willing to do trading but the business has come that to get theresa may's thatis meet in the middle somewhere. yes, that is another convenient and under the control of its lenders. timely reminderfrom one member of the cabinet who as you say is very deal across the line. nissan's former boss carlos ghosn has accused former executives much against the idea of agreeing to at the firm of "backstabbing" a customs union as part of britain's and says he is innocent the prime minister is seeking a delay, that is what the of all charges against him. relationship with the eu in the house has pushed on her. seeking a delay to june 30th. future, that is a letter he wrote to in a pre—recorded video as the person with released by his legal team, the responsibility to the 1922 committee, a backbench tory he said he was victim of a "conspiracy" and wanted get legislation through, a fair trial. if we can get the prime nissan says there is "substantial minister's deal over the —— of backbench tory mps, setting line, because the eu have decided out his position which we are very to support measures on the backstop, familiar with, but at this point is evidence" against him. that would be the best possible outcome. you have to marry a let's just now we will have to see what happens, members of the cabinet are making the prime minister has some very clear where they stand, which only the us is considering imposing important meetings today. adds to the pressure on the prime tariffs on about £84 billion worth of goods from the eu in response

minister, really, as she heads out to subsidies that support airbus. to europe ahead of that summit in the world trade organisation says brussels on wednesday where she will have to take whatever she can get in the subsidies have cost the us economy billions of dollars. terms of an extension that she did aircraft and cheese are among some very important meetings as the products that could be hit not ever want to have to ask for. andrea leadsom suggested. so far by the new us tariffs. there is no sign that that is going to happen and the eu chief thank you. we are nowjoined by negotiator michel barnier shutting down that idea of reopening the jenny hill in berlin. more on that breaking story, news withdrawal agreement earlier on today, and those talks that you i think we can go tojenny, i hope that debenhams has finally ended mention continue between government we can as we still look on at what is known as a prepack ministers and members of the shadow jonathan at westminster. there she administration which gives the firm cabinet about an attempt to reach a the opportunity to try to compromise of sorts with labour, in is. hello, jenny, we have got to you at last. as we saw those pictures of restructure some of its debt. let us your revised brexit deal that the uk could negotiate with the eu, that get more detail now and work out theresa may being greeted by angela what it could mean. merkel a few minutes ago, i was the government hopes would be able to command a majority here in the a tough time for all retailers out house of commons which so far mentioning what you told me earlier, theresa may has not been able to do. that angela merkel actually amongst there. the eu leaders is one of the most we have this morning from the shadow sophie, good morning, that relaxed about the principle of an chancellor about his attempt to join extension. confirmation, debenhams is in those discussions. yes indeed, she appears to very much administration, what does this mean? what we are trying to do is make sure we arrive at a deal which first favour giving britain more time, it shows how tough it is on the high more space to sort out what many of all protects jobs and the economy, we don't believe germans see as really something street, debenhams has failed to theresa may's deal does that. and discussing the issue she has raised in cabinet, which stems from a domestic political crisis, and that no real ignite sales, it has been on a the issue about going back progress can be made on the issue of to the people. is she going to move her red lines?

there has been a lot of talk of the uk's future relationship with back? the eu, one key member of the course about the potential or product is the most important thing cabinets liam fox international display of unity among the eu 27 for shoppers, to ensure they are trade secretary making his opinion very clear on that, that in his when it comes to brexit. potentially targeting the right customers with words a customs union would be the products that are in demand. starting to fragment. we know shoppers are holding back on worst of both worlds because it germany is in favour of giving would restrict the uk's ability to britain as much time and space as it needs, we know that france is taking nonessential items with brexit do trade deals around the world and uncertainty. products need to be a rather harsh stance. i am told worth paying for. the offer must be also not give the uk a say eu trade that mrs merkel has spent time on the telephone to emmanuel macron trying to convince him to be more exciting. policy, as he puts it, if you don't let us look at that story not just patient with britain. what you have a seat at the table then it means you are on the menu. a should expect to see today from both debenhams, the british retail berlin and paris later in the day is consortium saying sales on the high street are down another 0.5% because a message of eu unity, whatever those differences might be between reminder that the prime minister is member states and the eu, berlin and of brexit uncertainty. people do not in berlin for those talks with angela merkel, interesting to hear know what is happening. from jenny hill that this was a meet paris know that it is very important a real problem for all retailers. if they are to retain their strength and greet after mrs may arrived and on the side of the bargaining table, yes, we are seeing retailers are mrs merkel was not waiting for her to creature on the red carpet but they must at least maintain that struggling due to consumers holding show of unity. back their spend. the only areas onwards then from berlin to paris for mrs may. she will try to protected a re and beyond germany being able to be back their spend. the only areas protected are essential products unwilling to give the uk and sectors, primarily food and grocery persuade emmanuel macron of the need extension, what else might it be where shoppers have to buy food but willing to give? michelle barney in don't need to buy clothing, to give the uk and extension to his conference this morning talking

about the eu being ready to improve homewares. shoppers are holding back brexit. we say goodbye note to yours on items like furniture and and amend the declaration on future on bbc two. moving away from brexit uk ties in the coming hours or days? electricals, big purchases. yes i think germany has always been thank you very much. and thank you pretty clear that the political for reacting to that news. and a look at one of the other main declaration can be tinkered with if debenhams entering administration story developing today. administrators confirm that the troubled it means that theresa may can get a department store chain, officially. they say that will give debenhams, has gone deal through the house of commons. into administration. them the opportunity to restructure we have heard andrea led some in and push through some of those store britain talking about senior german closures. they have announced they wa nt to mps saying that the withdrawal closures. they have announced they want to close 50 stores around the debenhams are has 166 stores which country, that will continue under agreement itself could be reopened, this arrangement. customers will not will continue to trade. ft prentice it is something the eu has said it see any immediate change. staff will had already been earmarked for is done and dusted, we have still go to work. but a monumental closure the future. the department negotiated the deal, it is closed. i spoke to a senior german mp this store rejected a last—minute rescue time last week and he told us that task ahead, three profit warnings in offers from mike ashley. more on if and only if theresa may could the last year, £640 million of debt, this from a business presenter ben come forward with some sort of 50 stores to close. the bosses have proposal that would command a thompson. you are explaining earlier a lot of work to do. also in the majority in the house of commons but which crucially would also be in when you confirm the news of the news today. administration that this is a prepack administration which europe's interests, so he was effectively allows the store, the talking specifically about some sort of custom steel, a much softer type the embattled former boss of custom steel, a much softer type of nissan, carlos ghosn, business, to keep trading. tell us

of brexit and was being talked about has come out fighting. last week, then and only then might he's accused former executives more about that. it is a strange at the firm of "backstabbing" mechanism whereby a firm can fall there be the chance of reopening the and says he is innocent of all charges against him. withdrawal agreement although he was into administration, and be bought at his to point out that may not be he delivered a video message the kind of language that the eu would want to use around it. there at a news conference in toyko. again, it has essentially been bought by its lenders, the people to we re whom it was money and also from whom would want to use around it. there were a lot of ifs it what he had to —— tokyo. it has borrowed money, the potted he had been due to address the media say, my analysis of the situation in person but is now back under would be that the british government arrest and so issued a video, 4018p and have taken on all the probably shouldn't set too much debts that goes with it. essentially released by his lawyers, store by the idea that the eu is which means the bbc didn't what this means is that debenhams ready and willing to open up that carry out this interview, but take a look. shoot and it is a big should be able withdrawal agreement all over again, i am innocent of all the charges to operate as normal and customers i think that the conditions attached that have been brought against me. can still shop there, staff should to such a scenario are so many. i still turn up for work and stores and i am also innocent will remain open and this allows the also would be probably so in favour of all the accusations that came firm to reset, get itself up and of the eu side that they might be around these charges, running by shedding some of its that are all biased, debts. what they want to do is close very unpalatable to the british taken out of context, to 50 stores as you said, they have government and therefore very unlikely to happen, so i think most announced that earlier this year. twisted in a way to paint the plan are still on track and it people in germany would take what will also be negotiate with andrea lets and has tried to say a personage of greed landlords about some of the rent that they pay on some of their with a pinch of salt, and the other and a personage of dictatorship. hand at this stage of the game and stores that are on prime high street we know that angela merkel is a last—minute deal maker, very open to locations and they will go to those landlords now and say, we want to coming out fighting there, the compromise, don't rule anything out keep paying your rent but you may at this stage. former boss of nissan. let me show

have to cut how much you charge us. you what is happening on the numbers. those negotiations will now begin in what we see this week could change earnest. it is interesting what we zain qaiser, one of the uk's most as far as brexit is concerned. keep have heard from mike ashley, the prolific cyber criminals, has beenjailed for six boss of sports direct, he also years and five months. an eye on the currencies which is bought house of fraser out of the unemployed 24—year—old where we will see the most immediate blackmailed hundreds of thousands of porn website users around administration last year. he was the world in a multi—million keen to offer £200 million to pump pound global conspiracy. action to brexit news, it will make the pound more or less attractive. money into debenhams to try and give ita money into debenhams to try and give it a lifeline but there was a condition on that and that was our reporter matt cole installing him as the boss, as chief sports direct on the board, up 1% executive andy debenhams board said is at kingston crown court. despite the latest efforts from mike we don't want that at all. why is ashley to inject funding into that relationship so difficult? he debenhams which was rejected in the reminders of the background of all is interested in debenhams and of this. zain qaiser spent 18 months already owns part of it, but there early hours. debenhams shares have has been a real push back against been suspended. at the request of holding the internet to ransom, the his approved financial offer, his original offer and the improved judge in sentencing described him as debenhams because of this news which the self—styled king of the offer. yes they said we are not has transpired about it entering interested because of the caveats internet. he placed advertisements and conditions that would come without offer, not least to install through legitimate advertising administration. more news on that him as chief executive, but also brokers on pornography websites changes in the way the business is later. run. he wanted a big say in that. he where people clicked on those advertisements, software was has been very vocal the board of downloaded onto their computers debenhams, not running it in a way the american actress that he sees fit. he has been very felicity huffman is among 14

it was just business as usual. stores, there are big stores with crime unit has successfully lots of overheads and staff costs, prosecuted, he is right up there you just carried on? so what debenhams is trying to do is with some of the most significant yes. cyber criminals in the world. took get itself back on a firm financial rena was just 21 when she us cyber criminals in the world. took us through some of the numbers. what footing by shedding itself off some arrived at bletchley. kind of money was he making? we debts, some of the big rancid pies believe he made that the £700,000 she worked in hut 3, using her degree in german to type on stores, and ijust want debts, some of the big rancid pies on stores, and i just want to show personally but that is suspected to up intercepted messages. you this because this is what we are waiting for this morning. it looks bea personally but that is suspected to be a fraction of what he may have this was the centre of intelligence simple but this is the statement to made and what his group may have where millions of decrypted messages the stock exchange. remember shares were indexed and analysed. made and what his group may have made in total. so many of the we re the stock exchange. remember shares were suspended this morning. this lays out everything that we need to victims who paid out, we do not know know in terms of what they want to who they are or how many there could do from here on in. we have heard be. that is true, the way he we knew we were reading german from the chairman of debenhams this messages more or less at the same morning and he says it is time as the germans were. operated his scams wants to use the disappointing to reach the and that the people in the field conclusion that will result in no legitimate advertising companies as value for our equity holders, the vehicle for delivering his relied on it completely. malware, so we will probably never so, if i press b, you shareholders including mike ashley, know exactly how many individuals but he said this will allow debenhams to continue trading as can see m is lit up. normal while protecting as many victims there are a fell victim to the scam in the end. this involved stores and jobs as possible. so from there are 103,000 million million million possible ways of encrypting the scam in the end. this involved a message with this machine. here on in the clock is ticking. the international criminals in they have to do something and do russia and china and america, too? that's quite a lot, isn't it? that's quite a lot, yes. something quickly and fundamentally yes more cybercrime at this level is it's two to the power of 77. ta ke something quickly and fundamentally take it more interesting, more of an international in nature, we experience for us to go through certainly believe that m3 mac was breaking the german enigma machine those doors and spend money in those working with other russian speaking big stores. thank you. time for the criminals based overseas and our change the course of the war. it's really fundamental

effo rts criminals based overseas and our efforts to track them down and the to allied success in the war because if you can break enigma you can read such a huge proportion rest of it are continuing. are there of their traffic and find out others like this man out there? he about so much of their activity. started at 17 under 2a now, he has the new exhibition at bletchley shows just how pivotal intelligence sport. taken a while for this case to go was to the success of d—day. through the legal system. you see a the work certainly saved lives. one off? i don't believe he is, we some say it shortened the war. see an increasing prevalence of but it remained young people being involved in a secret for decades. the chelsea manager maurizio sarri seems resigned cybercrime, so he is not the you hadn't told anybody? to losing their star player youngest we have come across. he is no! eden hazard, he says he is irrepalceable but the belgian how do you feel about it today? the most prolific. there are others only has one year left out there like him. thank you very on his contract and sarri says that because today bletchley is the sort if eden hazard ‘wants to have of big visitor attraction. another experience then they have much. zain qaiser starting the it's quite a relief to be to respect his decision. able to talk about it. eden and to realise that hazard scored twice as chelsea people know about it. beat west ham 2—0 , beginning of his sentence, we and, you know, makes understand he will serve at least you feel quite proud. his opener in the first half saw half of that and then a further half graham satchell, bbc news. himn beat five men for one of the goals of the season. that moves them up to third in the table. on licence, but this one of the most the belgian has been significant cyber criminals the uk linked with a move to real has ever seen. madrid in the summer it is impossible to find another hazard, at the moment there isn't now, it's time for a another hazard. i am sure that the the troubled department look at the weather. store chain, debenhams, has requested that its shares are suspended with immediate effect. the firm has rejected an increased rescue offer from the owner of sports direct, mike ashley. joining us now is our business so far this morning, we have had a clu b another hazard. i am sure that the club does not want to sell him. he contrast in weather. northern areas

correspondent ben thompson is in the last season of contract. we will try of course to convince so we are hearing that debenhams have been fine, dry and sunny. could go into administration later him but it is not easy. plenty of blue sky. but our weather today. 0bviously that is very the champions league quarterfinals start this evening, serious but it is a particular type the next step in manchester city's quest for an unprecedented of administration. tell us more. watcher in kent, lots more cloud. quadruple. it's an all english tie these could be a crucial few hours against tottenham, the first for debenhams, the department store leg is in the capital, staying cloudy in southern areas. the first of three matches chain, we know have been facing bewteen the two sides 0ver tough times on the high street, it staying cloudy in southern areas. over the next few days, cold air in the space of 11 days. issued three profit warnings last will come in from scandinavia making manchester city, in the last few year and they have debts of more years, been there to try and win it feel chilly in the shade or everything. than £600 million. what we expect to we have a very good happen is that debenhams will enter squad, good players. exposed to the wind. 0utbreaks he is one of the best into what is known as prepack it feel chilly in the shade or managers in the world. exposed to the wind. outbreaks of rain in southern areas this if one club, one team is capable administration which lets the afternoon. moving into the of winning everything its manchester company sell itself or its assets as city. they are in a very good place. a going concern and that is important because it means there south—west. for much of north wales, would be no immediatejob losses and no immediate store closures. it is a midlands, east anglia, northern liverpool are also playing tonight way of the firm trying to reset england, scotland and northern they play porto at anfield. itself and start again, but ireland, not a great deal of change. england's justin rose crucially in all of that investors fair weather cloud but dry, not could move —— could lose a lot of is talking up his chances money. this is when it gets at augusta this week. interesting because we know that particularly warm especially around the north sea coast, 10 celsius. mike ashley who currently owns a golf's first major of the year, sports director and house of fraser, down on what they wear yesterday the masters, starts on thursday he is very interested in getting his and rose returned to number one

in the world rankings yesterday. hands on debenhams, he has offered afternoon. tonight, this area of tiger woods was the last top cloud and rain will move into the ranked player to claim £150 million to the board earlier in the greenjacket back in 2002 so it rarely equates to success. the week, he opt that offer south—west. eventually it will rose's only major victory came clear. for many of us, tonight will at the us open in 2013, overnight to £200 million. that was he's 38 now..and has been runner—up rejected by the board and that leaves us in a position where they see clear spells, turning chilly in 2 of the last 4 masters are struggling with any other option particularly in northern england and tournaments , so can that number one is that it could mean the enter scotla nd particularly in northern england and scotland where temperatures will dropjust administration. given the profit scotland where temperatures will drop just below freezing. staying ranking make the difference for him warnings the debt you mention, why is mike ashley so interested? and just above freezing the further south you are. into wednesday, a why is the board of debenhams not so that's all the sport for now. interested in him? it is very week by the front moves southwards. i'll have more for interesting that we have seen the rhetoric on both sides. yesterday higher pressure is firmly in charge. you in the next hour. mike ashley said that the board of it's the most closely debenhams should take lie detector bringing a north—easterly wind from fought general election scandinavia. and cloud into the in israel in years. tests, he absolutely disagrees with prime minister benjamin netanyahu, the way that they have run this is seeking a record north east of scotland and fifth term in office. firm, he said he could do it better. and the crucial caveat in his offer north—eastern england. 0therwise, but his right— wing likud party is facing a strong challenge of this injection of money is that from a centrist alliance formed the install him as the boss of by an ex— military chief, benny gantz. debenhams, the board is rejecting another dry day. plenty of sunshine that so far. why is he interested? both would most likely need support from smaller parties there is a lot of speculation about on wednesday. a maximum temperature to be able to govern. what he might do with debenhams if of 12 degrees. feeling chilly. at he gets his hands on it, and mr netanyahu has faced corruption allegations remember he already has a 13% stake in the run up to polling day, which he denies. the end of the week, high pressure his opponent has presented in the firm. if it does enter himself as the candidate administration he would lose the is still there over scandinavia for honesty in politics.

value of his current investment, so they've both stressed which has blocked these rain bearing he already has money invested in it weather systems coming in from the and he would lose it, so it is in their credentials on security. his interest to keep it going and west. it keeps things settled for us get some return on the money he 0ur chief international in the uk. plenty of dry weather for correspondent lyse doucet is injerusalem. already has in there. also speculation, too, that he would consider a merger perhaps with house thursday, friday and into the weekend. varying amounts of of fraser, so you would get debenhams and house of fraser, two sunshine. temperatures 12 celsius. first of all, why is this particular sta lwa rts debenhams and house of fraser, two stalwarts of the high street in days election so closely fought? gone by may be brought together under his ownership so lots of fine and settled into early next speculation about what he might want week, still chilly, but signs from to do with it. so for the board of elections in israel are always mid week it could turn warmer. closely fought there as i was a debenhams have rejected those goodbye. certain unpredictability about the approaches, they say simply it is commentators here are saying they have never seen commentators here are saying they have never seen one commentators here are saying they have never seen one which is so not what they want, not the solution close, the last polls that are to their problem is that they are relu cta nt to legally allowed to be published show to their problem is that they are reluctant to have him as the boss on the two main candidates, the prime the board. expect the next few hours to be turbulent. we will get an minister versus the former army indication as to what might happen. chief benny gantz, they are neck and shares were suspended this morning neckin chief benny gantz, they are neck and neck in the polls and this is a at the request of debenhams, they country where no single party has are already worth just a few pence ever governed on its own so it will and have fallen pretty sharply over the last couple of years. this does all be about coalition building so a few seats will matter a lot. and suggest we could get news over the then some people say the real next hour or so. just briefly and election is tomorrow when the task of coalition building will be more broadly it is interesting the faith that mike ashley seems to have started. either by benjamin netanyahu or benny gantz. let's have

in the high street given that it is going through tough times. an insight into what is at stake i absolutely, he has always been a big am joined by the editor of the times supporter of the high street, he of israel. david we have been here says there are ways of making retail on the high street work and says he many times before discussing these elections and they're always close has proved that with his sports but as this one in particular and direct chain, and wants to prove that with house of fraser. he has predictable? i would say that netanyahu predictable? i would say that neta nyahu has predictable? i would say that netanyahu has been pushed harder talked about creating a harrods of than he has ever been put on the the high street and is really decade of consecutive power that he invested, he has stakes in a number has held, he has an ex army chief of other firms like evans cycles. he was rumoured to be one of the has held, he has an ex army chief has come out of the army and had a cooling off period and then put potential bidders it was ultimately together a kind of merger of two or turned down for patisserie valerie and was also interested in buying three parties and fought a pretty efficient campaign. and they are neckin efficient campaign. and they are hmv out of administration. he was neck in the polls but what you said not successful with that either. is the key, multiparty coalition is, very keen to get a stick to get —— all the polls also show netanyahu better placed than gantz to build a very keen to get a stake in coalition. it would be a surprise debenhams but he said it must be but not out of the question but a done right and in his view that surprise if neta nyahu but not out of the question but a surprise if netanyahu does not right way is his way. thank you. retain power. would it make a difference of benny gantz came into israeli voters go to the polls today power rather than benjamin to choose a new government. the incumbent prime minister neta nyahu ? power rather than benjamin netanyahu? they both would insist benjamin netanyahu is seeking that word, neta nyahu a fourth consecutive term — netanyahu? they both would insist that word, netanyahu said it would if he wins he is set to become bea that word, netanyahu said it would be a disaster, he does not have the israel's longest serving leader. experience to keep the country safe, his right wing party faces strong competition from a centrist alliance and gantz would say if i take power

of the biggest change to divorce law in 50 years. reality made israelis more cautious new laws in england and wales will allow married couples but he has built this network of to legally separate more quickly and without blaming each other. extraordinary relationships, with under the current rules if people donald trump or legitimised israeli want to dissolve their marriage sovereignty, recognised israeli quickly, they have to give a reason. critics say the new system risks sovereignty, recognised israeli sovereignty and recognise jerusalem making divorces more acrimonious, as israel plasma capital and with and tougher for children. putin has been cooperating in preventing iran from establishing itself in syria. the other day after 37 years, vladimir putin enabled a with me isjo edwards a family return to israel for burial of an lawyer and former chair israeli soldier killed in the of the organisation, resolution. also, i'm joined lebanon war. that kind of thing by simon calvert, deputy director really resonates in israel, you do of the christian institute (os. this is something that resolution not abandon your soldiers on the has been campaigning forfor a long battlefield. and he does vladimir time. absolutely right, fundamentally we have had the same putin without anything in return divorce laws for 15 years and what helping israel bring a soldier to burial at home. these things matter. resolution has said for approximately the last 30 years as they are not fit for purpose. in thank you for is here. more than fa ct they are not fit for purpose. in fact they are creating conflict from seven hours of voting going on. the get go, they are pitting couples turnout is lower than it was on the against each other in this, just looking at the recrimination and 2015 elections, it comes after a campaign which is really say was one blame, so in effect couples either have to assert that one of them has of the worst in terms of committed adultery or there has been mudslinging. there were not any issues at all except the issue of unreasonable behaviour, and if not they have to wait for a period of at benjamin netanyahu and to quote one

of the really commentators today, to two years separation to elapse so bb or not to bd, that is the they can then prove to the courts satisfaction that their marriage has question. made for the headline, broken down irretrievably. is this a thank you. the un secretary general, rebalancing in your opinion or does antonio guterres, has appealed it make divorce potentially too for an immediate stop to fighting in libya. thousands of civilians have easy? it is a rebalancing and i have fled their homes since fighting broke out between forces seen easy? it is a rebalancing and i have seen lots of headlines this morning of the internationally recognised suggesting this is about divorce on government and troops loyal to a general from the east of the country. demand, that it makes divorce easy, yesterday an air strike closed thatis the only functioning demand, that it makes divorce easy, that is absolutely not the case. as airport in the capital, i have said already at the moment the current law creates conflict tripoli. from the get go. if anything the proposals which have been put 13 prison officers had forward today by government which to be taken to hospital after being assaulted by teenagers are fora minimum period forward today by government which are for a minimum period of six at a young offenders institution months from notifying that the in feltham, in west london. marriage has broken down to being the officers were among about 20 staff attacked entitled to a decree of divorce will during an outbreak of violence at the weekend. ta ke prison officers have partly blamed entitled to a decree of divorce will take longer than some of our increasing tensions at feltham on recent changes in the treatment quickest undefended divorce as at present, so most of the couples i see and i have been practising for of inmates who misbehave. 20 years in this area, they are shocked to come in and discover that they have to report —— apportion blame or wait two years, it is just not what they want. simon on this point what do you make of whatjoe time for a look at the weather

has been saying? if couples are forecast. almost being funnelled down this road of having to talk up the blame it feels noticeably cooler than it and acrimony, that is surely not a good thing? i don't think that is did yesterday for many places and actually that trend will continue as the case, i don't think the process we head into the next few days but of divorce causes acrimony, i think for many areas it will continue to acrimony leads to divorce, and one remain dry and that is away from of the elements of the divorce south wales stretching down toward process which creates the most south—east england this afternoon. a acrimony is the arrangements over band of cloud producing outbreaks of property and care of children. none rain which could be heavy at times. of that is being changed by this. elsewhere lengthy spells of sunshine but we are going to be making on offer but we have quite a keen divorce very much easier, and i think that is a big mistake because easterly wind making it feel a little bit fresher along the east human nature being what it is, if coast those temperatures certainly you make something easier and more down on where they were yesterday. people will do it and there is an as we head into this evening the overwhelming body of social science out there showing that children from rain becomes more confined to the broken homes do much worse than far south—west of england, under clear skies it will be quite chilly their counterparts in intact homes but we will keep that brisk end so we their counterparts in intact homes so we should be doing all we can to easterly wind into parts of east encourage couples to stay together and not grease the tracks to anglia lincolnshire and yorkshire so divorce. if a couple is going to it is further north and that and up to scuttle the temperature will drop closer to freezing so it is there separate and divorce anyway, if they that we may have a patchy frost can do so picking up on that point first thing on wednesday. the rain about acrimony, doesn't that create glad clearing into the tip of about acrimony, doesn't that create a better basis for their ongoing cornwall and the isles of scilly parenting relationship in the case before fizzling out altogether but once again plenty of sunshine on

where children are involved and offer and it will feel cool potentially create a better set of circumstances for the children of particularly along the east coast thanks to that easterly breeze. that dissolve marriage? circumstances for the children of that dissolve marriage ?|j circumstances for the children of that dissolve marriage? i want to say something on behalf of the person who does not want to get divorced, we have to remember that person, there are people whose spouses wish to divorce them but they want to reconcile, what we are doing is taking away from those people time and opportunity to try and slow down that divorce to give them more time to reconcile, what we are also saying to people who want to get a divorce is you do not have to get a divorce is you do not have to give a reason, and i think it is a basic matter ofjustice that if you want to end the most significant commitment of your entire life then you should be required to give some reasons. can you pick up on that? are we now in a situation where you don't have to give a reason?” hello, this is bbc newsroom live. fundamentally disagree, first of all the headlines. i see the conflict day in day out that the current law causes, the theresa may is meeting with the german chancellor best proof is on those who have been in berlin this lunchtime. through the process themselves and i the prime minister will urge angela have seen multiple tweets, comments merkel to back her brexit delay. on social media this morning for meanwhile, ahead of a crucial

people including celebrities who have been through the process to see eu summit to consider a further extension, it is just terrific, and it meant the eu's chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier, insists the conversations about children and the withdrawal agreement will not be finances were very difficult. we are reopened. debenhams has gone into not moving to a system of divorce on administration this morning with lenders taking control demand, what we see in cases like tilly 0wens last year, cannot be of the chain's165 stores. right that someone trapped in an a computer hacker is sentenced unhappy marriage, you have to stay to six years injailfor his part in that marriage? fundamentally it in a global internet can be. it takes two people to stay blackmailing operation. ina can be. it takes two people to stay in a marriage and stay happy so i couples in england and wales will be absolutely support saving civil allowed to split up more quickly without blaming each other marriages, that has got to be any under major changes to divorce laws. policy that the government looked at, but equally where a decision has and european scientists set been made that a marriage has broken out their plan to recover the oldest down irretrievably, a couple should ice on earth by drilling deep be able to exit in a dignified way inside the east antarctic ice sheet. and if only one of them feels that the marriage has broken down, they should still be able to do that and there will be protections around ensuring that they are not exiting let's get more now on the sentencing without finance is being looked at, of zain qaiser, one of the uk's most etc, but fundamentally that couple, prolific cyber criminals. he's beenjailed for six that individual should be entitled to their decree of divorce. picking years and five months. the unemployed 24—year—old up to their decree of divorce. picking blackmailed hundreds of thousands up on the point simon made, he is

of porn website users around the world in a multi—million pound correct me if i'm wrong, you're global conspiracy. saying that in some instances because this process will be pete warren is chair of the cyber security research contracted if you like, much faster, institute, and author of cyber crime there will not be the opportunity and time perhaps for a couple may be and warfare, and joins me know. to salvage the relationship? that is good afternoon. thanks for your fundamentally not right because at the moment as i mention the process can be quicker than is being time. you have been looking in advocated so the quickest divorces i do at the moment to take only four detail at this case, what you make or five months when they are of how zain qaiser became involved? undefended so the whole point of 0ne of how zain qaiser became involved? one of the things you have to look having this period of a minimum of at is his age, and to think about six months is precisely that, that a how sophisticated russian organised couple can stop and reflect and take stock, they will be signposted to crime. this would appear to be counselling services, they will be somebody who has gone on to the dark signposted to understanding more about arrangements for children and web, managed to get a lot of tools, finances so there will be that period of time that they can and has put together a crime. 0ne thing more worrying about this is it reflect. is an identity kit crime, which after 50 yea rs, police have been warning about for a after 50 years, isn't it time for an long time. a few want to find out update in the laws surrounding divorce? how to be a criminal, it is easy to

where the divorce is defended it do these days, to get things like does take longer which gives time the tools necessary for this kind of for reconciliation. the 0wens case is not relevant, it was a failure of her lawyers to provide evidence of attack, and software. there are instruction manuals on the internet. breakdown as the court commented. looking at this case, where was his marriage is important. we should not make it easy to get out of marriage. individual culpability, and where did the broader operation come into play? that is a fundamental point. people the thing about all of this is it is will be concerned as with previous reforms where the divorce rate its intent. a few have a mobile tripled, i am concerned we will see phone for a call, you have the that again. there will be more intention to make a call. a few have acrimony and more damage to a piece of technology to hack, you families. have that intent. someone might put you are shaking your head, what evidence do you have the divorce together those hacking tools but you are the one who is actually using rate will not go up? the evidence is clear there, in them, deploying them. in a sense, you should know what you are doing. australia, in scotland 12 years ago you talk about the material, the where they moved not to a purely wherewithal for anybody to put non—fault —based system but reduced together this sort of cyber attack. the period of separation. they saw how easy is it for someone with a

in both those jurisdictions a reasonable amount of knowledge to short—term increase in number of carry out this kind of attack? ridiculously easy. i don't want to divorces reflecting couples waiting for the new law to come into effect, but in the longer term it made no encourage people to do this. they should be very well aware of the difference in the divorce rate. we fa ct should be very well aware of the fact they could be doing something are confident —— confident that will illegal. if i can interact, hopefully the jail sentence is an be the experience in england and example of people being caught and way. punished for such activities. simon, you are your head. scotland that is probably the most did not adopt this system. it is interesting point about the case, wrong to allow people to simply when nicholas whiteley was the first resign from their marriage. we have person to be sentenced, his sentence to reflect the importance of the was only a few months. but this marriage commitment by requiring evidence why the marriage should comment six years, you are beginning end, give people time so they can to show and reflect the severity of reconcile come as many do during the this crime. sentencing is catching divorce process. and look at instead up this crime. sentencing is catching up with the internet age in the 21st century. it is an important message. of spending time thinking about ways of spending time thinking about ways of making divorce easier, spending what can be done to make this less time thinking of ways to encourage easy to carry out this sort of couples to keep their marriage attack?

together. that is a difficult issue. on monday thank you both for coming along to this week, we saw the bill against talk about this story today. internet harm being put through. arguably, you can say cyber crime is an internet crime, 50% of the crimes some breaking news, we have heard the police are having to deal with. what can you do? unfortunately with more about debenhams, creditors confirming the company has gone into the dark web, it is difficult. administration. i was talking to our surveillance of some of these business presenter who has confirmed systems, it is the internet for us creditors are saying the companies themselves trying to company has gone into administration. something called prevent the pathways that feed the interest in this. the other thing you have to do, it sounds a little pre—pack administration which allows debenhams to continue as a going concern with jobs protected tedious, ethics training, cyber debenhams to continue as a going concern withjobs protected in debenhams to continue as a going security ethics training needs to be concern with jobs protected in those shops remain —— remaining open. a taught at school. couple of months back the announcement was made some stores you anticipate ever more resources would be closing. creditors being devoted to tackling be it at a confirming debenhams is going into

private company level, individual administration. it follows a series level or at state level? of profit warnings. it has very large debts as well. this is an that is inevitable. at the moment, it is out of control. when i wrote the first book back in 2005, it was effort to keep debenhams open as a going concern. more on that in a few moments. now it's time for a at notable levels then. finally, the look at the weather. authorities are realising there is a problem and they have to do very different weather conditions, something. that is in the way of across northern parts it is fine and sunny but across the south, more fa ke something. that is in the way of fake news and other manifestations cloud and rain over central and of the trend. it will need a southern wales and the england. for concerted effort and a lot has to be done. thank you for your thoughts. north wales, midlands, east anglia, a leading pharmacy group says chemists in england are reporting looking at blue skies and sunshine increasing problems obtaining some generic medicines for patients. in the afternoon. quite chilly along the pharmaceutical services negotiating committee says more drugs have gone up in price the north sea coast elsewhere, because of supply issues than at any time since 2014. preparations for brexit are among temperatures 13 degrees, not as warm the factors being blamed. as yesterday. tonight, that rain in the south will move into the

south—west. it will clear away. clear spells, frost in northern england and scotland, temperatures below freezing. elsewhere, up to 6 degrees. 0n below freezing. elsewhere, up to 6 degrees. on wednesday, plenty of dry the epilepsy society said weather, sunny spells, some cloud, there has been a steep rise in number of patients struggling to get that drug when they go into their local chemist but on the chilly side, around because of supply problems. this is not acceptable, they say this goes back a couple of years and there are disruptions which happen quite frequently. the government needs to get to grips with the issue of supply of these generic medicines. last week, one of the main manufacturers, a french company, said there were supply problems dating back to a factory last year and they were trying to restore the supply across the uk. we mentioned brexit, to what extent is brexit a factor? the french company made clear brexit was not an issue, this had happened in the supply chain.

with generic medicines, there are quite often price spikes and it becomes more difficult for pharmacists to get hold of drugs, relating to global supply. but the pharmaceutical services negotiating committee warned mps last year brexit contingency planning was one of the factors which contributed to shortages. not in this epilepsy drug. more generally. the government has made clear to the industry they want a six—week stockpile built up, although, unofficially, there may be other stockpiling. the drugs industry has built up that stockpile but there may be other factors to do with people possibly anticipating a no—deal brexit. the government is adamant if everyone does what they have been asked, there will not be supply disruption should there be a no—deal. the advice for people who take these drugs?

it is not to wait until you are down to your last few days of supply before you go to the pharmacy and restock? the epilepsy society have made clear you will get your drugs eventually, you need to go to your pharmacist to discuss it. it can be sourced from elsewhere. do not leave it until the last minute. these problems can be overcome with the right sort of advice. underlying this is for certain generic medicines there are issues around the country and as we have heard there has been a call for a wider inquiry why that is happening. divorce laws are to be overhauled in england and wales, to make it quicker and easier for couples to split, without having to prove one of them is at fault. there'll also be a new six—month cooling—off period before divorces are made final in case couples change their mind. earlier i spoke tojo edwards a family lawyer and former chair of the family law organisation, resolution, and simon

calvert, deputy director of the christian institute we have had the same divorce laws for 50 yea rs we have had the same divorce laws for 50 years and what capital resolution has said they are not fit for purpose. they are creating conflict from the get go, pitting couples against each other, looking at the recrimination, in effect, couples either have to assert one of them has committed adultery or there has been unreasonable behaviour. if not, they have to wait for at least two years separation so they can prove to the court their marriage has broken down irretrievably. is this a rebalancing or does it make divorce potentially too easy? it isa make divorce potentially too easy? it is a rebalancing. i have seen headlines suggesting this is about divorce on demand, making it easy, thatis divorce on demand, making it easy, that is not the case. the current law creates conflict. if anything, the proposals which have been put

forward today by government which are fora minimum period forward today by government which are for a minimum period of six months from notifying the marriage has broken down, to being entitled toa has broken down, to being entitled to a decree of divorce, will take longer than some of our quickest undefended divorce is at present. most of the couples i see and i have been practising for 20 years in this area, they are shocked to discover they had to apportion blame or have to wait for two years, it is not what they want. simon, what do you make of this, if couples are being funnelled down this road of having to talk up the blame and acrimonious, that is not a good thing. ido good thing. i do not think that is the case, i do not think the process of divorce causes acrimony, acrimony leads to divorce. 0ne element of the divorce process is the arrangements over property and care of children. none of that has been changed. we are making divorce easier which is a mistake. human nature, a few make

something easier, more people will do it. there is overwhelming evidence showing children from broken homes do worse than their counterparts. we should encourage couples to stay together not greasing the tracks to divorce. ifa greasing the tracks to divorce. if a couple is going to separate and divorce anyway, if they can do so picking up on that point of acrimony, doesn't that provide a better basis for their parenting relationship for children, and a better set of circumstances for the children of that dissolved marriage? i want to say something other half of the person who does not want to get divorced. we have to remember that person. there are people whose spouse want to divorce but they want to reconcile. we are taking away the time to slow down that divorce and give more time to reconcile. and for people who want a divorce, you don't even have to give a reason. it is a

matter ofjustice a few want to end the most significant commitment of your entire life, you want to be required to give reasons. can you pick up on that? are we not ina can you pick up on that? are we not in a situation where you don't have to give a reason? i disagree. i see the conflict daily that the current law causes, the best proof is from those who have been through the process themselves, i have seen comments on social media who say it is horrific. those conversations about children and finances were very difficult. this is not divorce on demand. the case of 0wens, can it be right to say to someone of 0wens, can it be right to say to someone trapped in an unhappy marriage, you have to stay put? it ta kes two marriage, you have to stay put? it takes two people to stay in a marriage and to stay happy. i support saving saleable marriages.

equally, where a decision has been made that a marriage has broken down irretrievably, a couple should be able to exit in a dignified way. if anyone feels the marriage has broken down, they should still be able to down, they should still be able to do that and there will be protections ensuring they are not extinct without finances looked at. fundamentally, that couple and individual should be entitled to their decree. picking up on the points from simon, you were saying, in some instances, because this process will be contracted, much faster, there won't be the opportunity for a couple may be the opportunity for a couple may be to salvage the relationship. that is fundamentally not right. at the moment, the process can be quicker than being advocated. the quickest divorce as i do take only five months where they are undefended. the whole point of having this period of six months is

precisely for a couple to stop, reflect. they will be signposted to counselling services, to understanding more about arrangements for children and finances. there will be that period they can reflect. simon, after 50 yea rs they can reflect. simon, after 50 years it is time for an update in laws over divorce? where the divorce is defended it does take longer which gives time for reconciliation. the owens case is not relevant, that was a failure of her lawyers to provide evidence of her lawyers to provide evidence of unreasonable breakdown as the court commented. if we think marriage is important, we should not be making it easier to get out of marriage. that is a fundamental point. people will be concerned as with previous reforms in the 19705 where we saw the divorce rate tripled, we may see that again, more

acrimony, more damage to families. you are shaking your head. what evidence do you have the divorce rate will not go up? the evidence is clear, there are manyjurisdictions around the world including australia, in scotland, 12 years ago they moved to not a purely non—fault —based system but reduced the period of separation, they saw, in both jurisdictions, a short—term increase in the number of divorces reflecting couples waiting for the new law to come into effect, in the longer term, it made no difference whatsoever to the divorce rate. we are confident that will be the experience in england and wales. the headlines on bbc news. theresa may arrives in berlin and will also make a trip to paris to urge the german and french leaders to agree to a brexit delay.

the day before an eu summit to consider a further extension, the eu's chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier, insists the withdrawal agreement will not be reopened. a computer hacker is sentenced to six years injailfor his part in a global internet blackmailing operation. a team of european scientists has announced its intention to recover the oldest ice on earth. the group will drill deep down inside the east antarctic ice sheet. if the project is successful, researchers believe it'll give them a record of the climate going back around 1.5 million years, which could help with future predictions about climate change. here's our science correspondentjonathan amos. it's a never—ending expanse of white. this is one of the most remote places on earth, high in the interior of the east antarctic ice sheet. temperatures here are regularly down

around minus 50 celsius. but it's in this freezer that answers are likely to be found to explain how our planet's climate will change over the coming century. a consortium of european scientists have picked the location, called little dome c, to drill for the oldest continuous ice core on earth. the beyond epica project has spent the past three years camping out on the barren landscape and surveying what lies beneath. they're now convinced that there's a column of compacted snow underfoot that records the contents of the atmosphere over the past 1.5 million years. what they're after are ice samples like these which contain tiny trapped bubbles of ancient air, including the important greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. if the scientists can measure the bubbles' contents accurately, they'll be able to chart the climate's ups and downs, its ice ages far into the past, and that will give them far more confidence as they project how the climate's set to change long into the future.

jonathan amos, bbc news. david beckham has bagged himself a role in a film made by the director ridley scott's production team, in which he appears to speak nine different languages. the former england captain is not having an almighty career change but, instead, lending his support to a new campaign to tackle malaria. keith doyle has the details. he got by with some spanish playing for real madrid but was less successful mastering french while at paris st germain. now, technology has made david beckham appear proficient in nine languages fora new campaign film to fight malaria. the film, made by director ridley scott's team, uses artificial intelligence technology to have david beckham speak perfectly lip—synched the words of malaria survivors and doctors in languages including german, hindi, arabic and nigeria's yoruba.

every two minutes, a child dies from malaria. i think that's really powerful. it's a shocking 5tati5tic. it's great to be involved in something where the tech side of our lives and our world get involved. you know, to be one voice of many different people. organisers of the malaria must die campaign want people to add their actual voices rather than their signatures to what they say is the world's first voice petition. they hope this unique, multilingual film will help influence world leaders to fulfil a commitment to halve malaria by 2023. keith doyle, bbc news. from arch—enemies to entente cordiale, the relationship between britain and france has always been interesting. the latest potential bump in the road is brexit — and how will paris help — or hinder — the uk's departure from the european union.

david eades looks back at what has sometimes been an uneasy friendship. he was famed for having a certain idea of france, as a great nation with a global destiny which he helped to fashion through the european community. vive la france! de gaulle's wartime dependence on london as his safe haven and hq also gave him a developed sense of angleterre, as he put it. insular, maritime, a commercial, industrial world inextricably tied to the us. hardly in tune, then, with the outlook of the community's six. for all the congenial strolls with harold macmillan in 1963, de gaulle's message was crystal clear. you are not coming in. france's stated reason for denying britain membership in the european economic community is over differences

in the agricultural policy. most observers agree however it is a part of de gaulle's grand plan to undercut american and british influence on the continent and leave it dominated by a paris—bonn axis. de gaulle spoke almmost wistfully about britain's application to join. however favourable some might be to it, he said, england might not yet be so disposed to our project. hence, the long, long, "si long" british conversations over membership. by 1967, a less enthusiastic harold was in number 10, labour's harold wilson. britain itself was in steeper economic decline with a balance of payments crisis and a currency buffeted by world events. again, de gaulle said no. if de gaulle ever uttered the words, over my dead body, effectively, that is what happened. he died in1970. ted heath then signed on the dotted line and ever since 1973,

britain has been part of the community. but that "certaine idee de la france" lives on the current incumbent. emmanuel macron has made it clear the european project is bigger than britain's membership. his patience is very thin, so, would he dare to hold out against his eu colleagues and veto a further brexit extension? david eades, bbc news. this year marks the 500th anniversary of the death of leonardo da vinci. he is believed by many to be the greatest artist of all time. and scientists in italy say they have recently made new discoveries about both him and his work — as the bbc‘s tim allman explains. he was the definitive renaissance man. painter, scientist, engineer, architect, astronomer, historian. the list goes on and on. even now, there is so much more

to learn about leonardo da vinci. scientists at the uffizi gallery in florence have been taking a closer look at his earliest work. commonly known as landscape 8p, leonardi drew this when he was just 21. analysis of handwriting at the top of the page confirms what many had long believed, leonardo da vinci was ambidextrous. it was truly spectacular what these analyses actually yielded. and now, we do know that leonardo worked with both hands, not just as we know famously with his left hand. there is more, on the back of the picture, there appears to be incomplete sketches of another landscape, and drawings of a figure. these are images unlikely to have been seen in more than 500 years. perhaps more secrets will now be unearthed in other paintings and illustrations,

adding yet more lustre to the legacy of leonardo da vinci. tim allman, bbc news. when it comes to keeping secrets, few did it better than the men and women who worked at bletchley park during world war ii. the codebrea kers intercepted thousands of enemy messages and are credited with shortening the conflict. but they kept their work a secret until well after the fighting stopped. now, a new film's revealing for the first time the crucial role their intelligence played in the d—day landings. graham satchell has been to bletchley park. film narrator: bletchley park helped the allies to create a detailed picture of hitler's fortress europe. rena stewart is 96. she is watching part of a new exhibition at bletchley park where she worked in the war. what was the atmosphere like here at bletchley as d—day approached? well, it was very tense, really. but as far as work was concerned, it was just business as usual. you just carried on? yes.

rena was just 21 when she arrived at bletchley. she worked in hut 3 using her degree in german to type up intercepted messages. this was the centre of intelligence where millions of decrypted messages were indexed and analysed. we knew we were reading german messages more or less at the same time as the germans were. and that the people in the field relied on it completely. so, if i press b, you can see m is lit up. there are 103,000 million million million possible ways of encrypting a message with this machine. that's quite a lot, isn't it? that's quite a lot, yes. it's two to the power of 77. breaking the german enigma machine change the course of the war. it's really fundamental to allied success in the war because if you can break enigma you can read such a huge proportion

of their traffic and find out about so much of their activity. the new exhibition at bletchley shows just how pivotal intelligence was to the success of d—day. the work certainly saved lives. some say it shortened the war. but it remained a secret for decades. you hadn't told anybody? no! how do you feel about it today because today bletchley is the sort of big visitor attraction? it's quite a relief to be able to talk about it. and to realise that people know about it. and, you know, makes you feel quite proud. graham satchell, bbc news. in a moment it's time for the one o'clock news. first it's time for a look at the weather. hello. today's weather may look similarto hello. today's weather may look similar to yesterday but there is a noticeable difference, it feels

fresher and that cooler trend will continue as we head through the next few days. for many areas it will remain dry thanks to an area of high pressure building in from scandinavia, turning things more settled through the next few days. around that area of high pressure we are drawing in cooler winds from the east. you can see the blue colours dominating the map. here is the area of cloud and rain stretching from wales into southern england. along that we have heavy bursts of rain from time to time. elsewhere, lengthy spells of sunshine on offer, a noticeable keen easterly winds along the eastern coast where it will feel quite fresh this afternoon. a big difference to yesterday. highs of just 10 this afternoon. a big difference to yesterday. highs ofjust 10 celsius. the best temperature is always further west. heading into this evening, the band of cloud and rain becomes confided

to the far south—west. elsewhere under clear skies, temperatures will drop away. we keep that brisk wind over east anglia and yorkshire. northern england and scotland will see damages drop down to freezing. frost expected here. through wednesday, we finally see the back of that by the front, becoming confined to the tip of cornwall and the isles of scilly before fizzling out. elsewhere, another fairly decent spring day. lengthy spells of sunshine on offer. we still have a north—easterly breeze dragging in a bit more cloud over eastern coasts. here, it will feel fresher. we will notice a drop in temperatures. tomorrow, highs of 13 celsius. not only call by day but actually wednesday looks like being the cold est wednesday looks like being the coldest night of the week. widely, temperatures dropping down to freezing, even below. more places

seeing a frosty start on thursday. after some brightness, it will be noticeably fresher on friday and saturday.
