november, the government pushed claimed he could face a much larger prisoners. there was an inspection persistently for an exit clause for prison sentence in the united in 2015 that found it really wasn't a backstop of the eu do not agree to states. why the sudden change of good enough. the subsequent two it then. after the first meaningful mind from ecuador because he's been there for seven years and this vote we raise the issue again and yea rs, good enough. the subsequent two years, conditions deteriorated in morning they basically said to the prison to the extent that started to change their withdrawal agreement and push for it to be british police, you can come in? inspector said it was the worst they there's a couple of factors. a had seen, it was squalid, littered replaced by alternative arrangements. on the 11th of march we had an exchange of letters change in government. in ecuador. with violence and the victimisation between myself and the presidents of the previous ecuadorian president of prisoners. they said parts of the who had been quite sympathetic to the commission, on the 11th of march prison were getting too filthy to julian assange and anti—american, clea n prison were getting too filthy to clean it was that dangerous and in strasbourg the president of the there was a big problem with drugs. european commission and i agreed a lost power, but also julian a new governor package which means the eu cannot there was a big problem with drugs. a new governor was there was a big problem with drugs. a new governor was appointed at that stage. and a new approach with what try to trap the uk in the backstop julian assange and anti—american, lost power, but alsojulian assange further imitated the incoming administration, not least of all by indefinitely. it is explicitly a his vatican leaks which happened at to do for the jail. she asked that breach of the binding commitments we the beginning of this year, a lot of the prisoners drive the change at have agreed if they do so and is legal commitment that both parties ecuadorians are good catholics and hmp liverpool. she started off by aim to replace the backstop with they felt that julian ecuadorians are good catholics and they felt thatjulian assange are sitting in the ecuadorian embassy in helping them to gain new skills as alternative arrangements by december, 2020. the changes at every london leaking documents from the vatican was something they simply painters. the men were learning stage, we have been working to get didn't want to put up with, so he money while earning —— the men were changes to the withdrawal agreement. effectively upset his host, they the european union has now been withdrew its ability to claim asylum earning money while learning these clear, no, the right honourable in ecuador, withdrew his new skills. we have collectively gentleman says that they have backed citizenship, and invited the british made all this happen. and you love down. i did put the case yesterday police to come into the embassy this

it, it's not a job many people would in relation to conditionality that morning and a restjulian assange. love. it's been incredibly daniel, thank you very much, outside rewarding. i have been lucky enough he refers to, in relation to to come at a time when things were conditionality and there was discussion around the table about westminster magistrates' court. let's pick up on this. that issue. and the aspect that i ben keith is a barrister bad, but to see it through. what specialising in extradition and joins me now. impact has it had on the prisoners think everybody around the table is it isita focused on is there is only a single is it a given that if a country like themselves? our political editor at the united states says to the uk we tier of membership of the european wa nt the united states says to the uk we want him that they will get him? no, nina warhurst, who you saw briefly not at all. although it's very union. legally, there is only a in that report, she looked around single tier of membership of the the prison and it has made a huge european union and the rejected the difficult for him to resist difference to the prisoners. the concept of conditionality on that extradition to united states, in environment around them has recent yea rs, extradition to united states, in recent years, there have a number of improved, having an impact on their behaviour and the safety of the basis. the prime minister will discharges. however, it will be very prisoners and the environment they live in. and the skills they are recall that in the conservative difficult for him to fight it, given ma nifesto recall that in the conservative manifesto there was a commitment to learning will help them in their that he's been in the embassy for life after prison as well, helping almost seven years and has no real them to adjust. already one of the negotiate a comprehensive free trade right to be in the uk in any event. men who has worked on the first and customs agreement. which she stage of the project has secured a forgive me, i'm going to go back to agreed with me that her political job working for the company that has the magistrates' court because we declaration that has been agreed, are about to hear from julian overseen job working for the company that has overseen the renovation and he will and her discussions with the labour assange's lawyers. let's hear what start that role when he leaves they have got to say. we are going party, are being conducted in that prison. it's making a big difference. this is what one of the spirit? emerge keep going and try to men had to say, mark, who is serving keep to the timetable that avoids to make a short statement. outside the courthouse. later on, we will the european elections because many of us feel it is time to this done. a long sentence for drugs offences.

when he arrived at hmp liverpool to cani of us feel it is time to this done. can i say to my right honourable start his sentence, the prison was try to be available to the press. friend we are indeed conducting those negotiations in the spirit he jennifer will start here. since has set out and i do indeed want to ina start his sentence, the prison was in a filthy state but now he is part achieve the timetable that he set. i of the team helping with the 2010, we have warned thatjulian renovation. it puts a smile on your think many of us across this house assange would face prosecution and face. it's a tough environment to believes it is important to do all extradition to the united states for come into, but to make it a bit we can, to set in train that we can his publishing activities with wikileaks. unfortunately today we better helps. what do you do when leave the european union before the lads if you stick to doing thisjob? have been proven right. julian assange was arrested at 10am this you get a little bit, but you get morning at the ecuadorian embassy after the ambassador formally that everywhere, don't you? people european parliamentary elections. we are in this difficult situation notified him asylum would be revoked shouting and dropping things out of the window and stuff, but you just because the government's approach and he was arrested by british get on. there is still a long way to has not worked and simply going police. read today received a around at the same circles or doing go with the project, six more wings the same things is not going to provisional extradition request from united states and a warrant alleging solve this either. it would be he has committed a conspiracy with in this large prison that need renovation, so there is plenty more helpful to understand how far the still to come, which will mean more chelsea manning in relation to prime minister is actually prepared skills for the men in the prison. to reconsider her red lines. could materials published by wikileaks in there is another inspection due to 2010. this sets a dangerous ta ke there is another inspection due to take place in september. clearly hmp you tell the house whether she is precedent for all media organisations and journalists in liverpool are hoping things will not willing to consider a common europe and elsewhere around the appear markedly improved since the external tariff with the eu? a key world. this president means any last inspection a couple of years ago. you say a long way to go but pa rt external tariff with the eu? a key part of any customs union, or does journalist can be extradited for it's good to have something upbeat she still rule a common external in terms of news coming out of our

tariff out? can i say to the right prosecution in united states for having published truthful prisons. and you have lots more on information about the united states. that tonight on bbc north west honourable lady, she says obviously i've just been with julian assange tonight from 6:30pm. the house has rejected the in the police cells and he wants to government's house, it has also thank all of his supporters for rejected the opposition's plan and their ongoing support and he said, i and we can go to nick owen. this new no deal, it has rejected revocation, told you so. the only thing to add primark is capturing the it has rejected a second referendum. imagination. all this gloomy talk of told you so. the only thing to add to this is the fact this is a dark this house at some stage is to come the high street, debenhams going day forjournalism, as into administration this week. to an agreement about what it can to this is the fact this is a dark day for journalism, as jennifer agree on to take this issue forward. said. it sets a precedent. we don't certainly any random look around the high street these days, you see a wa nt said. it sets a precedent. we don't want this to go forward, it has to i continue, and when people talk lot of empty shops and boarded up about the customs union, i am aware windows, so what a contrast in of the question that the right be averted. the uk government needs to make a full assurance that a birmingham this morning, when the honourable lady asked. on a customs new and famously low cost primark union i think there is actually more journalist will never be extradited open. queues outside the front doors to the united states for publishing agreement in relation to a customs union ban is often given credit for before they open. reminiscent of it when different language is used. activities. this pertains to publishing work nine years ago. january sales in london. why is this we have been very clear that we want publishing of documents of videos of store so special? primark has stores to obtain the benefits of a customs in11 store so special? primark has stores in 11 countries, employing 75,000 union, no tariffs, no rules of killing innocent civilians, exposure people. this is the biggest of the of war crimes, this isjournalism. lot, it seems to have something for origin checks and milk quotas while being able to operate our own everyone. it is called conspiracy, it is lot, it seems to have something for everyone. besides basic retail. it's conspiracy to commit to journalism.

another landmark moment for the independent trade policy. we have so this has to end and we urge been very clear about this. the centre of birmingham, the new labour party has said they want a everybody to support julian bullring shopping centre was opened say in trade policy. the question is how we ensure we can provide for so this has to end and we urge everybody to supportjulian assange in fighting this extradition. thank in 2003, and the central shopping this country to be in charge of its you. what avenues are available to centre around new street station trade policy in the future. the fact followed. primark say birmingham is you? we will be contesting in a great place to be. not only 430 of remains that we would have left the fighting extradition and have requested he now gets medical our existing employees from new you by now —— the eu by now on wto treatment. he's been refused medical street tojoin this treatment. he's been refused medical treatment for the past seven and a our existing employees from new street to join this existing opportunity but 500 newjobs were half years since being inside the created. we also have more than 100 embassy. we will be fighting tradition and he will be brought firms if the prime minister are chefs, baristas, hairdressers and before the court again within next barbers working on the site. in extended deadlines. the investment month. we are not going to be taking total, well over 1000 jobs. quite decisions underpinning our strong economic performance in recent years any more questions today, thank you barbers working on the site. in total, well over1000 jobs. quite a lot on offer. to give you an idea, very much. ok, that was jennifer have been taken in the full knowledge that we could be leaving as he said, a hairdressers and on wto terms. but the prime minister robinson. and the editor in chief of barbers, beauty salon, cafe, and therefore, show more confidence and themed areas focused on disney and commit to this house that if this wikileaks. i want to pick up on what harry potter. in the disney area parliament does not pass a deal we we've just heard, returning to the will be leaving on wto terms, terms there is an interactive gaming zone and a disney themed menu. there is barrister specialising in extradition i was talking to when also a recharge area for you and by which we profitably trade with the news conference started. it is many countries outside the eu. can i your mobile. free wi—fi as well. quite clear that this extradition what i find intriguing is that

of the new zealand parliament, he has arrived there, the suspicion at 4:30pm on afternoon live. as they will change the rule book accompanied by the deputy speaker of and charge him with something else? parliament. it is a great delight to no, they can't do that. that would more now on our lead story that the founder of wikileaks, welcome you both. you come from a be the misuse of the international julian assange, has been convicted of skipping bail to avoid country we regard as a great friend extradition process. they can only extradition to sweden just hours after he was arrested and david, you have been a great inside the ecuadorian friend to us and to me, welcome. embassy in london. charge him for the offences they we can talk tojulian assange's pr have requested extradition for. if agent richard hillgrove. they want to charge him with other what do you make of what has material, they would have to happened today? i think it's a sad does the prime minister not take any re—request as a tradition from the uk and ask for consent but in a case responsibility for the fact that she, a conservative unionist prime like this, which has been going on day for journalism for so long, so high—profile, it happened today? i think it's a sad day forjournalism in happened today? i think it's a sad day for journalism in general. happened today? i think it's a sad day forjournalism in general. i think mainstream media should wake up think mainstream media should wake up and see what has happened here. minister, signed up to this backstop you have somebody who has published originally without insuring herself would be pretty poor behaviour for something and now suddenly they are that she would get support in the united states to add additional parliament for it? now we are in a charges which they hadn't requested getting an attempt to extradite them situation where the only vote that went through this with a big to the usa. it's a frightening day his extradition on. it's a process for journalism. majority was the brady amendment. is to the usa. it's a frightening day forjournalism. to deal with the she really done her best to ensure designed to prevent you requesting skipping bail offence, he has been someone designed to prevent you requesting someone for that and then when they found guilty and will be sentenced that we cannot get backstop removed? return charge them with murder, ata found guilty and will be sentenced at a crown court. you are not because that's the whole basis of it must be removed before this house arguing with that part of this? that international law protecting will ever support her withdrawal extradition, so can't change it once was never the issue. the issue was you extradited. he is going to the a iwa ys was never the issue. the issue was agreement. can i say to the right always going to be that his lawyers crown court to be sentenced on that honourable lady, as i indicated knew or suspected for some time that earlier, we have at every stage take one charge he has been guilty of,

there was going to be some secret on this issue of the backstop. we which is skipping bail, if you like. effort to extradite him to the usa have been arguing with the european union in relation to this issue, we then what happens? is there a full and that is why he was in the did take the brady amendment as a ecuadorian embassy for so long. he trial in this country, and result of the decision that was extradition hearing, if you like, to wasn't worried about the bail taken by this house. we took that decide if there is a case for him to jumping. he was happy to serve his answer? sort of. there will be on time and happy to be sentenced on issue back into the european union. that. but obviously what has come the changes that we saw in exhibition hearing, but the united forth is this potential extradition states isn't required to have a full strasbourg, the legally binding changes obtained in that agreement trial, isn't required to produce all and how can it be possible when this the evidence it puts forward a isa in strasbourg between myself and the and how can it be possible when this is a publisher and journalist, and trial, all its required to do is president of the european commission all he has done is publish where a direct result of reflecting show there is sufficient evidence for a show there is sufficient evidence information. interestingly, the views of this house. this fora grandjury to show there is sufficient evidence for a grand jury to produce an government has been clear that not indictment, which i understand they information. interestingly, only is there a celebrated timetable information that he published was have and there are no bars to with published simultaneously by the extradition, there are no human guardian newspaper and new york times at the same time. and only one for determining alternative rights issues or other technical issues to prevent his extradition. man is having an attempt to arrangements, we have put money to extradite him to the usa. thank god there won't be an examination of the the guardian has kicked in recently ensure we have alternative arrangements to replace the evidence in the united kingdom court. very good of you to join us. saying that julian assange the guardian has kicked in recently saying thatjulian assange must not backstop. my view is the backstop be extradited. is there a fear, should never be used. it need never thank you very much for your time be used, and we need to ensure we this afternoon. you're watching have the relationship in the future. afternoon live from bbc news. because the sentence is if he is theresa may has told mps found guilty of a charge in the that is what the future relationship is the important way of a it's their national duty to deliver united states, if the extradition an orderly brexit as soon we re as possible after outlining her united states, if the extradition were to go ahead, the sentence

maximum is five years. is there a sustainable, sustainably ensuring we reasons for pushing for a delay. eu leaders agreed to extend concern that once he is in america the deadline until the end are meeting our obligations, of october to allow mrs may things might change? there has including those with the border to persuade parliament between northern ireland and a iwa ys to back her withdrawal agreement. things might change? there has always been a concern that what is ireland. the government continues in this report from our political said at one point might change at office, thanks to the support of our correspondent iain watson. another time. clearly this five year she said as prime minister business, i don't even know why we confidence and supply partners, in the event the withdrawal agreement she wouldn't be prepared to delay brexit any further than the 30th are debating this. he shouldn't even ofjune, so today she has be going through this. this man is pushed through unamended over the to explain why she's accepted heads of those partners, will be should be allowed to walk free. the prime minister be seeking the of the what some of her own mps see united nations have twice ruled that labour party? —— be seeking the as the frightening prospect of a delay that could last until halloween. julian assange has been arbitrarily confidence of the labour party?|j detained in the ecuadorian embassy and must be allowed to walk free. so recognise that in this house, why he is being put through this, god only knows. it has been made the prime minister insisted that the reaching across the divide between uk could leave the eu well before quite clear in the indictment from the government and opposition front benchis the government and opposition front the united states, who believe that bench is to attempt to come to an october and without contesting next agreement on a battery is not usual months european parliamentary basically he has breached secrecy elections, so long as the house of practice. it is, i think, laws in accessing the information commons voted for a deal. if we were and they want him to face trial over agreement on a battery is not usual practice. it is, ithink, probably to pass a deal by the 22nd of may be virtually unprecedented in the would not have to take part in that. wikileaks use an anonymous conditions in which we are doing it dropbox system. so sources are european elections. and when the eu today. i believe it is in the has also ratified we would be able to leave at 11pm on the 31st of may. protected. julian assange himself is national interest for this house to not involved in gathering that deliver on the result of the in short, the date of our departure information. he is a publisher and

referendum, to deliver brexit with from the eu and our participation in has published some information and the british people and to do so in he stands by that. like any the european parliamentary elections an orderly way. i have now voted remains a decision for this house. journalist, nojournalist he stands by that. like any journalist, no journalist who three times to the european union publishes information, given to them as president tusk said last night, in trust by an anonymous source with a deal. i want to see this expects to be criminalised during this time, the course of themselves. where does the buck stop house by eight majority voting to action will be entirely in the uk's leave the european union with a deal hands. it's the job of the leader of in this particular area? do you want and that is the work we are carrying the british to step in to stop the on, and that is where we try to find the opposition to oppose so extradition or do you want the agreement across this house.|j initially that's whatjeremy corbyn americans to back off? it's probably did. the second extension in the to be expected in some ways that the welcome this extension because it americans will not back off, but the space of a fortnight represents not provides time for a people's vote only a diplomatic failure but also british must do the right thing, and andi provides time for a people's vote and i agree with the words of the another milestone in the governments the international law says to let this man walk free. the british have right honourable gentleman for leeds mishandling of the entire brexit central when he says it is the only been told, they appealed to the process. but then he quickly way out of the crisis and to end the proffered something of an olive united nations decision the first uncertainty. it will not have branch when it came to current time. the united nations ruled yet escaped you, mr speaker, that a cross— party branch when it came to current again that he must be allowed to cross—party talks. branch when it came to current cross-party talks. labour will number of honourable members have continue to engage constructively in walk free. they must follow heard the words of the prime talks because we respect the results international law. the uk has minister when she speaks about of the referendum and we are compromise but she still has refused isolated itself. this type of breach or is unable to tell the house what committed to defending jobs, of journalist's rights has is her compromise, what are the red isolated itself. this type of breach ofjournalist‘s rights has become the norm and it must stop. we must industry and living standards by make a stand before it's too late lines she has a set down which it delivering a close economic for everyone. good to talk to you, now intends to rub out. prime relationship with the european union and securing frictionless trade with minister, please answer those richard.

issue of the weather. lucy has the forecast. thanks, simon. we've seen some sunshine today for many of us but it's feeling fairly chilly and as we move through the next few days we won't see a great deal of change. we've got this area of high pressure anchored across parts of scandinavia, feeding across the uk. there is some fairly chilly area which is with us into the weekend. taking a look at the satellite from earlier, you can see a good deal of sunshine, a bit more cloud for parts of north—east scotland and more cloud feeding on a family west across northern ireland, the best of the brighter spells in the east. the risk of some showers in the west. 102 showers for north—east scotland as well. a little bit more cloud for eastern parts of england but a good deal of sunshine and sunny spells. through this evening and overnight we will hold on to a fair amount of that cloud in north—east scotland, feeding into parts of north—east england, the chance of some spots of

coast around about 79 celsius, further west between nine and 11 it stays cool as we move over night, saturday into sunday. not a great deal has changed. another cool start to the day on sunday, sunday brings further spells of sunshine, more cloud than saturday. cloudy skies for south—west england and northern ireland. perhaps in the far west you could see the odd spot of rain and drizzle, elsewhere a good deal of dry weather, temperature is below average for the time of year. this is bbc news — our latest headlines. julian assange has appeared in court after british police arrested the wikileak founder following seven years cooped up in the ecuadorian embassy. theresa may tells mps she wants britain to leave the european union as soon as possible — after the eu delays the uk's departure until the end of october. i never wanted to see this extension

and i deeply regret that we have not yet been able to secure agreement in this house for a deal that would allow us to leave in a smooth and orderly way. jack shepherd — the man who killed a woman in a speedboat crash — has been jailed for an extra six months for fleeing the country. huge crowds celebrate in sudan's capital, khartoum, as the army confirms that president omar al bashir has been toppled after months of protests. sport now on afternoon live with will. all eyes on augusta. good afternoon. the 82nd masters is under way, around an hourand the 82nd masters is under way, around an hour and a quarter ago, gary player and jack nicklaus the honorary starters. many golfers out just now. these are the main groups to watch out for this afternoon, the beekeepers make favourite role in my career tees off at quarter past four and is playing with rickie fowler

harding... that very early leaderboard in augusta. rugby australia intends to sack one of its star players over a social media post in which he said hail awaits 93v post in which he said hail awaits gay people. he is also a fullback, a devout christian and has made a similar comment last year. here is chrisjones. in similar comment last year. here is chris jones. in his similar comment last year. here is chrisjones. in his latest post that was put out on his social media channels yesterday, he said that hail awaits all gay people. he picks these homophobic beliefs down to his religious views and a year ago the by religious views and a year ago the rugby australia authorities and disciplined him. now did come back and said they've made repeated effo rts and said they've made repeated efforts to contact him, he is not returned our calls and in the absence of any mitigating factors,

he will get the sack. he is one of australia's best players but rugby australia's best players but rugby australia are putting the values of the game and the offences because with these comments about his playing ability. atletico madrid's diego costa won't play for the club again this season after receiving an eight match ban for abusing a referee. the former chelsea striker was given a straight red card in the first half of their defeat against barcelona last weekend. any match report the referee claimed the striker had insulted his mother. diego costa denied that but was given a four match ban for the insult and a further four for grabbing the official because ‘s arm. chelsea and arsenal are in the quarterfinal first leg action later this evening. chelsea are away to prague, arsenal look to have the toughest test, putting natalie who are second in the italian league. they've never been beaten in the english side we european competition. it's going to be very difficult for us but we have

confidence. we know we need to be very consistent in two matches, with a big preparation. but also with trust and believing in ourselves and preparing hard and working hard. that's how the sport for now. time now for askthis. it's time for bbc ask this — we've been asking you for your questions on brexit throughout the day. dr ruth fox from the hansard society, which provides independent research and advice on parliament, and joe owen, from the institute for government, are here to help try to answer some of your burning concerns. ruth, the first question, can a second referendum still be called? there's been a debate going on in the house of commons in the last few

minutes. it's still a possibility. if nothing emerges out of their arrangements between the parties, their discussions, it's possible the labour party offers a confirmatory referendum as part of a commitment to let the agreement go through. in terms of time, the experts on desert the constitution unit at ucl says it will take about 5.5 months to organise it properly. we would be pushing it before the october deadline. the mp5 would have to be legislating for it as soon as they come back after the easter recess. it might be difficult to do it before the end of october but it's still a political possibility on the table. the prime minister making the point in response to vince cable the government has already twice voted against one. what with the procedure be? clearly, the government doesn't wa nt be? clearly, the government doesn't want one. but there is a possibility it's the only way to get the agreement through in terms of the next stages and to try and have an

exit with a deal. on that basis, the government would be reliant on votes from the opposition. clearly, not to position the prime minister wants to be in. she's been in that position a couple of times already, it wouldn't be unusual. if the uk does leave the eu, what are the rules about us eventually rejoining? we'lljust have to go through the accession process like any other member states and hope we haven't bothered them to match and they actually still wanted us match and they actually still wanted us back. there are big questions about how long it would take. turkey has been waiting tojoin since 1987. these negotiations won't necessarily happen quickly, it could happen a lot quicker than that. we are likely to lose a lot of the opt outs, the special bits of the relationship that successive prime ministers, even this prime minister as home secretary, managed to negotiate.

there is no guarantees that we would come back in on the same terms that we leave on. the point we healing shouted here, revoke article if we do that we return full members of the eu on exactly the same terms we re the eu on exactly the same terms were on at the moment. effectively, this never happens. if we revoke before we finally leave, that could before we finally leave, that could be the 31st of october, if we revoke before that point, in terms of high everything is legally, it stays the same, is as it was, we've lost nothing. the relationship with the 27 member states might be slightly different though. like likewise making the point... when you get shouted at like that, it completely throws you! it's all about revoking article 50, that's what i want to talk about. it would be fair to assume that whatever rejoining deal we make would never be as good as what we've got now. that's what people point out you are saying we

should remain. we have negotiated various things over the decades, a budget rebate, there's different security updates that theresa may negotiated she was prime minister that we actually thought pretty hard for. if we came in and said we changed our minds and would like to come back, the chances the member states would then give us... every prime minister has at various points done that, haven't they?|j prime minister has at various points done that, haven't they? i don't think the eu 27 will welcome us back in. i don't think it would be quite as easy as that. but it could be, who knows? let's move on. as the good friday agreement does not involve customs arrangements, why is a security bird are not acceptable? the good friday agreement and need to contain anything on customs arrangements, the uk joined to contain anything on customs arrangements, the ukjoined the eu at the same time as ireland, we were

at the same time as ireland, we were a member state at the same time as ireland, we were a memberstate in at the same time as ireland, we were a member state in signing the good friday agreement and some of the negotiators, people involved in the good friday agreement would say the fa ct good friday agreement would say the fact that you were member states made things in certain areas much easier. one of the big pillars in the good friday agreement is about north—south cooperation and this has come up north—south cooperation and this has come up a north—south cooperation and this has come up a bit in the brexit negotiations about protecting the all ireland economy. if you introduce to customs border, to certain farmers you used to be able to sell your carrots down the road, but down the road is never classy customs border so you need to start filling in all these pieces of paper work, the entire s as if he were trading with canada. it could be hugely disruptive for the economy and certain communities that live in the border area. just getting some news coming in from westminster magistrates' court, it's about julian assange. were just hearing magistrates' court, it's about julian assange. werejust hearing he has pleaded not guilty to a charge at the court that he failed to surrender to custody as required for an extradition to sweden. that is

the latest coming in from the court, i'm just hearing also from daniel sa nford, i'm just hearing also from daniel sanford, i've corresponded covering that case. as part of that hearing, they've been describing what happened at quarter past ten this morning when police arrived at the court, daniel is saying officers tried to introduce themselves but he barged past them, he resisted and shouted this is unlawful. he had to be restrained and officers struggle to handcuff him. he shouted this is unlawful and he was led to the police van. you may have seen the pictures that were taken as he left the ecuadorian embassy and was bundled into that police van. daniel sa nford bundled into that police van. daniel sanford outlining what has been described in court about that moment this morning. we will keep an eye on developments there, he has pleaded not guilty. let's return to brexit and to my guests. now, let's talk about passports. my passport says it expires in november, and i'll keep

to travel in europe this summer without renewing it. a lot of people are worried about passports and travel. the answer is, should be fine. that's not definitive, joe. if we stay in the eu until the 31st of october or even enter into the transition period before then, it is fine, it's not a problem. if we fail to hold european parliament elections, one of the provisos on this extension was holding those european parliament elections or you crash out without a deal at the beginning ofjune. crash out without a deal at the beginning of june. if crash out without a deal at the beginning ofjune. if we were to crash out with a deal at the beginning ofjune, crash out with a deal at the beginning of june, you crash out with a deal at the beginning ofjune, you wouldn't in six months, that doesn't look likely but it's still a possibility. other than that, you're fine with your passport as it is. the process of european elections, how complicated will that be at this stage? the procedures i they are, they can hold the elections, local government is gearing up, so is the electoral

commission. it is the political embarrassment that attaches to holding them in the possibility we might be electing meps that barely sit in the european parliament chamberfor sit in the european parliament chamber for any length of time, if at all. what is turnout going to be like? turn out in european elections is always pretty awful and i think it's going to be a hard task, you've got the local elections coming up in england at the beginning of may, a couple of weeks later you've got european elections. what's the incentive for people to go out and vote ? incentive for people to go out and vote? it might be there is a reaction to this and the brexit mess and the perception of the parties, which doesn't drive turnout at the bet, but it could be everybodyjust says they are staying at home. that will be pretty messy. 0k. the next question. what extra payments did the eu demand from the uk in return for this extension to halloween? the short answer is no extra payment, we will continue to pay arrant net

contribution as we are still a member state and will be receiving the benefits that we also continue to have as a member state. our net contribution is around 12 billion a year. that's about 6 billion for the extra six months, but we would also be paying that if we entered into the transition period, that was part of the financial settlement agreed with the eu. there's also a chance that large parts of that would have to be paid even if we live with it deal, where pay nothing extra for this extra six months. the big thing is, we are losing time in that transition period that was agreed for negotiating the future relationship, that is shrinking as extend this period of our article 50 period. the process so far has only been about leaving, we've yet to even been about leaving, we've yet to even start looking at a future relationship. this is supposed to be the easy bit. once we've formally left, there will be a huge number of issues up for negotiation, we really

been focusing on citizens' rights, the financial settlement and the irish border. then that balloon site once we've left to our future trading relationship, security relationship, services and trade. it will be much more complicated and also much more to do. brexiteer is, the argument was the longer any extension of the bigger the fear that brexit is lost. we've got a final question for you. is there a chance that brexit will not happen? there is a chance, politically if the parties can't reach agreement and we can't get a deal. the house of commons does not want to leave the eu with it deal. it is an enormous political risk attached. the political question would be, with the government to revoke article 50 on its own initiative? there are legal debates about whether legislation is needed or not. i think the question would be, actually, any government

realistically do it without putting it to realistically do it without putting ittoa realistically do it without putting it to a referendum first? i would say it's still unlikely but it's still possible and it's on the table as an option. the is still on, there isa as an option. the is still on, there is a sense you as an option. the is still on, there is a sense you can as an option. the is still on, there is a sense you can hear the relief with easter coming up in the building behind shutting for a few days. there is still huge pressure to avoid spending the money that would be involved in any elections. by would be involved in any elections. by the difficulties of getting the deal through before the 22nd of may are deal through before the 22nd of may a re pretty deal through before the 22nd of may are pretty tight. they will be back for a few weeks, if the political parties are not making much headway in the negotiations it's difficult to see how we avoid them. yes, they don't want to spend the money, but the reality is they're probably having to spend up front now anyway. i think the pressure will be on, can we get this on before the 31st of october. —— can we get it done. we get this on before the 31st of october. -- can we get it done. very good to see you. thank you both very

much. that's askthis today. tadght enright is here. in a moment he will have the latest business news. first a look at the headlines on afternoon live. julian assange appears in court and pleads not guilty that he failed to surrender to custody after british police arrested the wikilea ks founder. theresa may tells mps she wants britain to leave the european union as soon as possible after the eu delays the uk's departure until the end of october. jack shepherd — the man who killed a woman in a speedboat crash — has been jailed for an extra six months for fleeing the country. here's your business headlines on afternoon live. sir philip green has brought in two restructuring specialists to join the boards of his retail empire as the arcadia group, which includes topshop, miss selfridge and dorothy perkins, prepare for an overhaul. the pensions regulator has warned train operators that they have a pensions deficit of £7.5 billion.

the detail‘s emerged amid a row between the government and the train operators over who's responsible for the pensions of railway staff. yesterday, the department for transport blocked the operator stagecoach from bidding for new train contracts because it refused to pay. the government says it will probably allow the times and sunday times newspapers to merge their newsrooms. owner rupert murdoch promised to keep them separate when he bought the titles in 1981. but news uk has asked for permission to pool their resources because of increased competition in the news industry. let's start with arcadia, the empire of sir philip green who was once feted as king of the high street. he's put two restructuring specialists on his board and it's expected he'll unveil a restructuring plan for the retailing group in may. the company's already warned of the need forjob losses and store closures as it adapts to an exceptionally challenging retail market. it's best known for its topshop and miss selfridge brands,

but arcadia also includes burton, dorothy perkins and wallis. but as retail analyst maureen hinton told us earlier, its brands have gone out of fashion. it's got brands that have lost their relevance on the high street, like dorothy perkins and burton, they're more like brands like primark and asos and h&m. obviously it needs to slim down and i'm sure that's what they're looking at, what stores they can get rid of. but of course it does need to invest in the stores and in the brands to bring them up to the kind of level that customers expect now. primark‘s opening a store in birmingham today and has spent 70 million on it. shares in the electric carmaker tesla has been slipping in new york today after it was reported that it along with its partner panasonic are halting plans to expand theirjoint venture — gigafactory1 — which is the world's largest electric vehicle battery plant. let's talk to samira

hussain, north america business correspondent. what more can you tell us? it certainly not very good news to hear that panasonic is apparently putting a pause on its venture to try and build there is a big factories. making more batteries that would really help in terms of tesla's production. there are concerns within panasonic it has to do more within panasonic it has to do more with wall street, there are concerns within wall street about these investments which is why panasonic might be taking a back step. tesla has had problems in the past with matching its factory capacity with the demand of customers. does this suggest that perhaps expectations of growing demand for electric cars are actually falling itself? it suggests actually falling itself? it suggests a lot of things. in terms of

production, tesla has always had a problem in being able to make enough ca rs problem in being able to make enough cars to match demand. but now there is the additional problem of perhaps there is a waning demand for those tesla ca rs. there is a waning demand for those tesla cars. since tesla came onto the market, one of the only electric car makers, now that there are a lot more electric cars on the market, there is a lot more competition. that coupled with the fact that tesla has are pretty expensive and there have been consistent problems with them trying to achieve a more moderately priced electric car. all of that really plays into these concerns about tesla and its ability to match demand and whether or not there is that demand. one more thing to add importantly in terms of the us market, there was a tax benefit that went to consumers who would buy these electric cars, that tax benefit no longer exists, that is also perhaps really hurting sales when it comes to tesla as in the united states. thank you very much

for joining united states. thank you very much forjoining us. let's take a look at the markets now and the ftse 100 is gaining again this morning, having spent this morning in the red as investors digested the news about a delay to brexit. it's airlines that have been performing quite well today. easyjet had warned that summer bookings were down because of brexit but clearly investors expect holidaymakers to start locking in plans now. the pound had risen above $1.31 earlier with the threat of no deal reduced. that's all the business news. a very quiet studio without me, i know. it is one of the world's most famous works of art and today a rare lithograph of edvard munck‘s the scream goes on display at the british museum. it is part of the largest uk exhibition of the norwegian

artist's work — which opens to the public today. david silito has been along to take a look. it's just one of those images and here it is a greeting you on the steps of the british museum. the scream. this exhibition of edvard munck‘s prince is a clue as to why it so well known. this is an artist that made copies in different versions. there are a number of screens. this is just one of them. what's important to remember is we are not seeing a screen, this figure is hearing one. it was described as an infinite screen passing through nature which is why it's become emblematic of the world... and age of anxiety. this exhibition is a total immersion into that world. the acid thrower, the dead mother. it's acid thrower, the dead mother. it's a panorama of emotional disquiet, and for the museum at the current

national maid feels apt. why now? why this particular moment?” national maid feels apt. why now? why this particular moment? i think for the moment it speaks of all of our feelings in terms of the crisis, the political crisis. but it's also a very human image. it is nature telling us everything leads to death and we have to confront that and edvard munck continually confronted that and continually address that in his art, as an artist his mother died very early, his beloved sister had died very early and he kept on replaying these feelings again and again and again, and using those as inspiration for his art. does it feel like a particularly fitting edvard munck moment? totally, this is peak edvard munck. we are if we are not feeling the screen now, we'll never feel it. a study of

despair and anxiety from more than 100 years ago but one that feels very now. 100 years ago but one that feels very now. this after all is not work with its own emoji. you don't get much more contemporary than that. breaking news. julian assange has been found guilty of breaching his bail at westminster magistrates' court and faces a jail sentence of up to 12 months when he is sentenced at crown court. the districtjudge the district judge found the districtjudge found him guilty. he said his behaviour was the behaviour, and it's a quote i will find again because it's worth repeating, it's the behaviour of a narcissist who cannot get beyond his own narcissist who cannot get beyond his own selfish interests and sent julian assange to the crown court for sentencing as he said the offence was so serious. we'll be talking to daniel sandford in the next hour at the magistrates' court. now it's time for a look at the weather with lucy martin. a lot of dry weather to come over

but it will be feeling chilly with temperatures below average. i will have more detail later in the programme. hello everyone — this is afternoon live — i'm simon mccoy. the wikilea ks founder julian assange has been found guilty of breaching his bail at westminster magistrates' court. he pleaded not guilty for failing to surrender to custody, after being arrested by police earlier. officers removed him from the ecuadorian embassy where he'd been living for almost seven years as he sought refuge to avoid extradition. meanwhile, prosecutors in the us have been giving details of the alleged offence under which mr assange has been arrested. they say he's accused of conspiracy to access a classified government computer with the former army intelligence analyst, chelsea manning, in 2010.

this is the moment he was arrested outside the ecuadorian embassy this morning. this is the scene as he arrived at westminster magistrates' court short time ago. this was before that hearing before he was told he was going to be found guilty of avoiding his sentence and, as you can see, of avoiding his sentence and, as you can see, a of avoiding his sentence and, as you can see, a huge media and police presence for his arrival. our home affairs correspndent daniel sandford is at westminster magistrates' court in central london. he has been cooped up in the ecuadorian embassy for seven years. a lot of people are wondering what he looks like. as you can probably see he looks like. as you can probably see from the pictures of his arrest, he appeared with white hair and a rather straggly white beard, a pale face. he was brought into court, that on his own in the dock reading a book while we waited for his legal tea m a book while we waited for his legal team to be brought into court.

districtjudge said he was in court for two reasons, first forfailing to surrender to bail back injune, 2012, when he went and took asylum in the ecuadorian embassy, but also ona in the ecuadorian embassy, but also on a new matter. an extradition charge from the united states government. the court dealt quickly with the failure, he was asked if he wa nted with the failure, he was asked if he wanted to give evidence, he said not. as lawyers started criticising a previousjudge in the earring... saying she was biased. the district judge cut that short and that you do not want to hear her name being introduced in the court. julian assange's moyers briefly summed up by the felt he should not be found guilty —— lawyers. they said his behaviour was the behaviour of a

narcissist... selfish interest. he was also told the offence he was being charged with at the united states was affecting unauthorised x closure of the sensitive material. he was told he will next appear at the court for the offence of conspiring with chelsea manning. and it's being sentenced by the issue of failing to surrenderfor it's being sentenced by the issue of failing to surrender for bail. in terms of a us extradition warrant, what could he face if he is convicted there? i am not sure but it is clearly a serious offence, a national security —related offence in the united states and he has a lwa ys in the united states and he has always argued the us will seek his extradition and he has been proved right in that. he has argued he faces a very long sentence in the united states. we know what the charges he faces are. it looks as if he is going to be fighting that

extradition, there is no sign from his legal team today they were planning to roll over. julian assange was spent a night in prison, the first place expenses first night outside the ecuadorian embassy. he will remain in prison until he is sentenced at southwark crown court on the offence of failing to surrenderfor bail and on the offence of failing to surrender for bail and then on the offence of failing to surrenderfor bail and then he on the offence of failing to surrender for bail and then he will have to have a typical problem arguing that he should get bail on the us extradition warrant. he is likely to stay in prison while that case takes its long course through the british courts if he chooses to challenge it all the way. thank you very much, more from their later on. theresa may has been updating mp5 on brexit after eu leaders granted the uk a six month extension. she said that nothing is more pressing or vital than resolving brexit and she hoped agreement can be reached during talks between the conservatives and labour. the brexit extension, agreed after talks late into the night in brussels with eu

leaders, means the uk will leave the eu on the 31st of october — or earlier if mps do finally pass a brexit deal. it means that — as things stand currently — the uk will now have to hold elections for the european parliament on may the 23rd — and if we don't, we'll have to leave the eu on the 1st of june without a deal. this report from our political correspondent iain watson. she said as prime minister she wouldn't be prepared to delay brexit any further than the 30th ofjune, so today she has to explain why she's accepted what some of her own mps see as the frightening prospect of a delay that could last until halloween. statement, the prime minister. the prime minister insisted that uk could leave the eu well before october and without contesting month european parliament elections, as long as the house of commons voted for a deal. if we were to pass a deal by the 22nd of may we were not

have to take part in european elections and when the eu has also ratified we will be able to leave at 11pm on the 31st of may. in short the date of our departure from the eu and our participation in the european parliamentary elections remains a decision for this house. as resident task said last night, during this time the course of action will be entirely in the uk's hands. jeremy corbyn is leader of the opposition initially opposed to the opposition initially opposed to the prime minister's handling of brexit. the second extension in the space of a fortnight represents not only a diplomatic failure but is another milestone in the government's mishandling of the entire brexit process. but then he quickly offered something of an olive branch when it came to current cross— party olive branch when it came to current cross—party talks. olive branch when it came to current cross-party talks. labour will continue to engage constructively in talks because we respect the result of the referendum and we are committed to defending jobs,

industry and living standards by delivering a close economic relationship with the european union and securing frictionless trade with improved rights and standards. labour wants a customs union with the eu, so was this a hint of compromise from theresa may? on a customs union i think there is more agreement in relation to a customs union than is often given credit for when different language is used. the trouble is the closer theresa may appears to be getting too laboured the more she seems to be hardening opposition to her leadership among some opposition to her leadership among some of her own mps. there is no formal mechanism to oust her as conservative leader until the end of the year but there is talk you at westminster about changing the parties rules so it can change direction. does my right honourable friend, the prime minister, appreciate the anger that her abject surrender at last night has generated across the country, having broken promises a hundred times not

to extend time? she knows what i am saying and she has done that. she also accept that this withdrawal agreement undermines our democracy, the constitutional status of northern ireland, a right to govern ourselves, control our laws and undermines our national interests? would she resign? but the snp leader says something more radical than a change of conservative leader is required. i think there is a real opportunity for brexit to be stopped. people have learned a lot in the last three years about the implications of brexit, the lack of planning that was done on some of theissues planning that was done on some of the issues that need to be confronted that opportunity is there now confronted that opportunity is there now and i think it should be seized with both hands. the prime minister has ensured the uk will not be leaving the eu but no deal this week but getting enough support for a deal still seems some way off.

let's speak now to the leader of the lib dems, sir vince cable. what was the mood today because there was a sense of relief? sober i think. i think she had a terrible time in russell's but people have realised we had a terrible problem and we have to contribute to the situation. you said humiliated, she had no choice. she had to go out there, she came back, we are not spending any more money, we have an extension and a bit of leeway she did not ask for. you could argue she did not ask for. you could argue she did all right? in the circumstances but we are not in a good place and we have to find a way out of it. the question i asked is if we are moving toa question i asked is if we are moving to a referendum, it looks on the cards, how do we play it properly and what kind of timetable do we have before the end of october. she said it has been through the house and failed twice. we are long past that, we need to come to a solution u nless that, we need to come to a solution unless jeremy corbyn

that, we need to come to a solution unlessjeremy corbyn comes up with an agreement. and i don't think many of us think that is very likely. we are short of a majority for a referendum. i think it could well happen if it is a way of taking through her deal and people on my side are now willing to say which we we re side are now willing to say which we were not before, but no deal is one of the options on the ballot paper. what are the questions on the ballot paper? i think the eu would have to ask people having heard all the third whether they want to leave or to remain and if they want to leave it to they want to leave with the government's deal or with no deal. two out questions? yeah. people would say you immediately split the vote. not actually, ithink it should be formulated in a way with the electoral commission bill through parliament. as can be done and it must be done in a way that eve ryo ne and it must be done in a way that everyone feels is acceptable. i do not want to go through referendum and need a lot of angry people feeling this is not directed at them. they've got to own it as much

as me and i think we have got to construct it in a fair—minded way. it, and it is a huge death, because october is the 31st is not far away, what with the timetable together referendum? —— it is a huge s. what with the timetable together referendum? -- it is a huge s. the electoral commission has to be satisfied about the processes so we've got to get on with it. what about theresa may herself, she still be present to continue with this process at the moment?” be present to continue with this process at the moment? i do not why not. it is not clear anyone from the tory party can do it better. we saw some tory party can do it better. we saw some demonstration in the statement a few minutes grow, the viciousness of our own supporters. i don't think anyone feels there is anyone there who can do better business than her. in terms of the talks going on between the government and the labour party, are you hearing anything? is any cause for optimism? ido

anything? is any cause for optimism? i do not exempt terribly seriously. i think from her point of view it was a necessary step to demonstrate the european union that there are other options available. i think in jeremy corbyn's case it was getting respectability. we are not talking about revolutionary socialism or anti—semitism. it serves both their purposes but i would be absolutely amazed if they came to an agreement. do you think it is right there is a recess and that mps do you think it is right there is a recess and that mp5 get a holiday next week? i do not think i would see next week? i do not think i would see what could be achieved by staying behind. the country might argue that we are in the middle of a crisis and as the mp5 are failing to deal with it they need to spend extra time doing so. the withdrawal agreement is to go back to parliament at some point subjected those talks and i would like to see the referendum attached to it but it doesn't have to happen next week. i think a bit of breathing space where everybody steps back and thinks about how they can help contribute the solution rather than the problem

would be worthwhile. good to see you, thank you very much. let's get more reaction from our chief political correspondent. vicki young. what is the sense about theresa may's future, she was as straight out of she was going to resign? what in the conservative party's many are despairing about the whole thing is likely to move on sooner rather than later. the mechanism for doing that was not there because she was challenged until december, she cannot be challenged until then. if there was disastrous election results for them that could trigger something but in the end it really does involve her deciding that she has given up and wants to move on and today it was pretty clear she is not given up on getting some kind of deal and still thinks that is the best way to proceed, to leave the european union as soon as possible with preferably her deal. i am joined by sammy wilson from the dup.

it seemed to me she has given up trying to persuade you and the brexiteers in her own party to get behind her deal. she is clearly looking forward towards labour for some looking forward towards labour for some kind of compromise. she is but i think you will find that difficult because i do not think the labour party will trust her with any agreement. look at the number of promises she made her own party and broken them so i think the labour party will be weighing up that does a promise from this prime minister mean anything? and secondly, whatever compromise you may come to with the labour party she will have difficulty with a large number of her own backbenchers in selling so. she might be nil further forward a nyway she might be nil further forward anyway when it comes to the numbers game. what you make for this delay, another six and a half months, donald tusk said use it wisely. i do think parliament should use this six months? i think as nigel dodds pointed out, the fact they have given easily without the preconditions they said they were going to impose on without her

showing what the delay was going to be used for, is a good indication that when faced with the option of the united kingdom walking away or not being demands of the eu, the eu will cave in. ithink not being demands of the eu, the eu will cave in. i think there not being demands of the eu, the eu will cave in. ithink there is not being demands of the eu, the eu will cave in. i think there is a lesson there. if the eu won't compromise nowt than the prime minister ought to be saying, look, there are two reasons for this. first of all, the house of commons will not vote for the withdrawal agreement and secondly, a withdrawal agreement and secondly, a withdrawal agreement which you are not prepared to reopen. if you want to have some compromise that lets compromise on both sides otherwise come the end of november or october, i might not apply for an extension. because it isa apply for an extension. because it is a supply deal you have the government, i mean, that feels like thatis government, i mean, that feels like that is dead. he did not vote with them a break that legislation which is part of the deal. you're not still doing it are you? we are not voted with them because they broke their side of the consett supply arrangement which was a two—way

process. the first of all we would support the government on certain measures, that the government would make promises to us on the delivery of brexit and city of the union. they broke on that side of it by signing a withdrawal agreement, which by the way the prime minister was seeing a which by the way the prime minister was seeing a year which by the way the prime minister was seeing a year ago which by the way the prime minister was seeing a year ago your which by the way the prime minister was seeing a year ago your premise could ever sign up to. —— she was saying a year ago that the new prime minister could ever sign up to. i do not think she could expect us to cooperate and honour that part of the agreement because the legislation she is bringing forward breaks the agreement. she still insists you must get her deal through. if she does it with labour votes, you said that would be the end of that arrangement. with that be the case? if you did it with labour votes you would have to bring forward implementation legislation forward implementation legislation for the withdrawal agreement. we would oppose that tooth and nail in the house of commons. we would recruit as many people behind the banner of opposition to it as we possibly could, and we would look at

how our relationship at the government would be worked at that stage. but does not mean you break completely but it does mean you can be more picky on what you support the government with and what you do not. thank you very much indeed. after that session in the house of commons theresa may still going but with downing street, the main message with downing street, the main message to mp5 seems to be the need a break. it is interesting that one. i am joined byjohn curtice, professor of politics the crucial lesson is to take away that they house of commons behind us was not willing to come from ——

willing to contemplate no deal. that is been obvious for some time but the european union also blinked and have clearly decided that leaving without a deal, unless we really do prove awkward customers, is in no interest, not least because by the time being it is not clear they would be able to maintain the integrity of the single market and have an open border in northern ireland if we were to leave without a deal. that does mean the crucial crutch to which the erg, the brexiteers have stuck to, for weeks, which is the default, we live without a deal. —— believe. they should realise that default for all practical purposes does not exist. it means when we come to the next six months, that's group, disappointed as they are. they are still very loud in the house. and unhappy with the prime minister. the question is whether in the —— the

question is whether in the —— the question is whether they will try to force the prime minister out. it is clear she is not inclined to go u nless clear she is not inclined to go unless they get a deal through but keeping her party to get it will prove difficult. it will become more difficult if she was to end up doing a deal with the labour party that encompassed a customs union. also the fact we have got this extension certainly has lifted the spirits of those who are in favour of a people's vote. they might think six months is enough. i think one can anticipate that if the prime minister find anticipate that if the prime ministerfind some way anticipate that if the prime minister find some way of presenting the withdrawal treaty to the house of commons and house of lords in may, which still seems to me what she is hoping to do, i think we can expect in that, even without an indicative vote, attempt to amend the bill in the comments in the house of lords to say there has to bea house of lords to say there has to be a referendum, and the question will be whether the votes will be there. because we have got six

months it will look like a potentially realistic proposition. there is still pressure on the prime minister because there is the prospect at the moment of uk participation in the elections. prospect at the moment of uk participation in the electionsm is difficult to see how we avoid participation in the eu elections because even if the prime minister, by some means or the other, was able to get support for the deal or introduce her withdrawal treaty, bessie at the end of this month at the beginning of me. everybody seems to forget it is not a question of winning one vote. she will have to get legislation amended through the house of commons. she will have to get through the house of lords and that three week timetable looks terribly tight. and they are on holiday next week! exactly, the next two weeks of and there is the? of whether she wants to go down this path in advance of the england local

elections are northern ireland elections are northern ireland elections at the beginning of may. it does not look as though there is long enough to complete the whole process by which we are going to withdraw from the eu by the 22nd of may and i think for all practical purposes, we should now assume the european parliament elections are going to happen. when you think turnout will be? that is a fascinating question. european parliamentary elections are never exactly been flavour of the month. we have not seen voters flocked to the polls and we are now having elections for meps that may be meps for three orfour months elections for meps that may be meps for three or four months but may be no more than that. you might think nobody is going to bother but of course, there will be elections in which the argument about the shape of the brexit, the handling of brexit, what we should do next is bound to be an essential issue. given there are plenty of voters we re given there are plenty of voters were deeply exercised on both sides, may mean it becomes a surrogate pool

by which voters either expressed disappointment with what has happened to back that suffer what may be hope that we should have a second referendum in between. he had the brexit party, nigel burridge ready to take advantage. —— farage. yes, we see voters are more likely to vote for nigel farage's party. new kit has got back most of the sport they lost in 2017. around a quarter, maybe even a third are saying they would vote for either of those two parties. there is a question of whether the labour party can hang on its mostly remaining support in a position over the other parties who were more pro—remain. the snp, plaid cymru, the local

democrats, the greens, change uk, will be clear about saying they want to provide another referendum. labour party i continue to fudge on what for many remainers is a crucial issue. there is some sign that the party support amongst remainers is at risk. are we about had two weeks we do not talk about brexit?” at risk. are we about had two weeks we do not talk about brexit? i think we do not talk about brexit? i think we might still be talking about it because presumably at least those talks between the government and the opposition, if they are actually going to produce something in time for us to be able to possibly have a new agreement by may, i am not sure they can stop the two weeks. over easter, they may be a period of peace and contemplation and joy as we think about something other than brexit and indeed enjoy the gradually emerging spring sunshine. in your household perhaps. thank you very much. in a moment — we'll be back

at westminster magistrates we are hearing the case against julian assange is over. we are waiting to hear from a spokesman. julian assange is over. we are waiting to hearfrom a spokesman. he was found guilty of breaching his bailand was found guilty of breaching his bail and faces an extradition warrant from the united states. a large number of supporters out there for him and there they are court. the moment of his arrest was discussed in court. the court was told at 10:15am this morning metropolitan police arrived at the ecuadorian embassy and julian assange tried to budge past them. he said this was unlawful, he said that repeatedly and eventually he was bundled out of the ecuadorian embassy and into a van. in three hours he was in the dock to face

that charge where he has been found guilty of breaching bail. he is in custody now until his appearance at the crown court on that charge. isias medina is a human rights lawyer, and former venezuelan un diplomat at the security council. how significant is this? i think this is a fundamental issue that strikes at the heart of civil rights. if it was declared by the un working groups on arbitrary detention in 2006 at this detention was a arbitrary detention and it had violated the core of human rights of assange, i wonder what has changed

up assange, i wonder what has changed up to this day. why has ecuador, which is a part of the convention on refugees, now has changed its mind? it seems to me that this is a violation and a breach of its obligations to the convention on refugees. what do you think should happen? that is an interesting question because of course, in the open court of public opinion, because of the information age that wikileaks has because of the information age that wikilea ks has become because of the information age that wikileaks has become front and forward about disclosing information, that may have been acquired illegally, which is why it cannot be used illegally in court proceedings. that does not mean the freedom of information can be restricted only because of the interest of state to try and conceal the same freedom that assange seems to be fighting for. why has ecuador

changed its mind? we thought this morning police were allowed take out? i have to say as someone under political asylum myself, this is concerning and there are millions of refugees under political asylum around the world and it would be to the detriment of all of our rights asa the detriment of all of our rights as a country changes its policy or its obligation to this universal convention of human rights. or even the convention of refugees. as long as there is fear there must be protection and if he was under the protection and if he was under the protection of the ecuadorian nation, then why would they change their mind if he is still underfear of systematic persecution or arbitrary detention? he has been found guilty of breaching his bail on a charge which has since been dropped.”

understand perfectly because of the original source of the charges dropped like what happened in sweden than the appendix of it, which would be, in this case, the bond, presumably was or allegedly was violated, it should also be dropped, so violated, it should also be dropped, so it is very questionable and i think it is very important the uk and the rule of law which upholds national and international levels, we must sate the uk has been an instrumental object of international law at the united nations. i think now law at the united nations. i think now it is a trial by fire to see what the uk courts stand for. what will happen to him in the united states ? will happen to him in the united states? there seems to be the concern of many of his supporters here outside the court that they are worried once he gets there treatment will be different? this is what the underlying issue is all about when

the war on terror and this information came out through wikileaks there seems to be an ongoing criminal investigation in the us and it most probably will have to see, because as you are currently, as you know, assange has a dual nationality, ecuadorian and australian. both of these countries the death penalty is prohibited. we will have to make an in—depth analysis if there are life sentences that could be applied in these two countries. soto extradite him to a third country not of his nationality, due to the fact that they are under a current investigation, i think this is what assange's lawyers must appeal to the court. first of all, if it is legal oran court. first of all, if it is legal or an arbitrary detention he may not be able to look for seek this problem of extradition but

certainly, that is the underlying problem. what is going to be charged within the s. —— us. is at present or espionage and these different charges that may vary a sentence longer or harder than he is obliged by his nationalities? thank you very much for your time. thank you very much for your time. thank you, simon. all the sport and a couple of minutes. i'm going to ta ke a couple of minutes. i'm going to take you to parliament because such javert is on his feet and i think we need to hear what he's saying. the first action of the police following the arrest was to have him medically assessed and deemed fit to detain it. the ecuadorians have made their best efforts to ensure doctors chosen by him have had access inside the embassy. while he remains in the

custody of the uk, we are now in a position to ensure access to all the necessary medical facilities. proceedings will now begin according to the court timetable. under uk law, following the provisional arrest, the four extradition papers must be received by the judge within 65 days. a full extradition request would have to be certified by the home office before being submitted to the court, after which extradition proceedings would begin. at this point, the decision as to whether any statutory bars to extradition apply would be for the uk courts to determine. i will go no further in discussing the details of the accusations against mrjulian sancho, even in the uk's criminal justice system or in the us. —— mike julian assange. i'm pleased the situation in the ecuadorian embassy has finally been brought to an end. julian assange is have the opportunity to contest the charge

against him in open court and you have any extradition request considered by thejudiciary. it is right that we implement the judicial process fairly and consistently with due respect for equality before the law. i commend this statement to the house. thank you. i'd like to thank the home secretary for his account of events. on this side of the house, we are glad thatjulian sancho will be able to access medical care, treatment and facilities because there have been worrying reports about his own health. —— julian assange. at this point, this is all a matterfor the courts. on the side of the house, we wa nt to courts. on the side of the house, we want to make the point that the reason we are want to make the point that the reason we are debating julian assange's this afternoon, even though the only charge he may face in this country is in relation to his bail hearings, the reason we are

debasing this this afternoon is entirely today with the whistle—blowing activities of julian assange and wikilea ks. whistle—blowing activities of julian assange and wikileaks. it is this a whistle—blowing activity into illegal wars, mass murder, whistle—blowing activity into illegalwars, mass murder, murder of civilians and corruption on a grand scale that i have putjulian assange in the cross hairs of the us administration. it is for this reason administration. it is for this reason that they have once more issued an extradition warrant against mr assange. the home secretary will know mr assange complained to the un he was being unlawfully detained as he can leave the embassy without being arrested. and in february 2016, the un panel ruled in his favour, stating that he had been arbitrarily detained and should be allowed to walk free and compensated for his lack of liberty. he held that as a significant victory, called the decision binding, but the foreign office responded by saying this ruling it

changes nothing. i note it was the foreign office that responded, not the home office or the ministry of justice, for an office has no responsibility for extradition in this country, but it is interested in relations with allies and others. we have precedence in this country in relation to a request for extradition to the us when the us authorities raise issues of hacking and national security. iwould remind the house of the case of gary mckinnon. in october 2012, when the current prime minister was home secretary, an extradition request very similar to this one was refused. we should recall what wikileakss actually disclosed, the pentagon vintage of a missile which killed 18 civilians and two journalists. it is a monumental amount of leaks such as this that

lifted the veil on us led military operation on a variety of theatres, none of which have produced a favourable outcome for the people of those countries. julian assange is not being pursued to protect us national security. he is being pursued because he has exposed wrongdoing by us administrations and their military forces. we only have to look at the treatment of chelsea manning to see what awaits him if he is extradited to the us. chelsea manning has already been incarcerated between 2010 to 2017. she was originally sentenced to 35 yea rs. she was originally sentenced to 35 years. her indefinite detention now is because she refuses to participate in partial disclosure which would allow whistle—blowers to be pursued, not the perpetrators. and her human rights as a transgender women has been com pletely transgender women has been completely ignored. her human rights asa completely ignored. her human rights as a challenge and women have been

com pletely as a challenge and women have been completely ignored and i would hope members on the... on the other side of the house would take that seriously. what it has to do with julian assanges case is this could be the type of treatment he could expect if he is extradited to the us. in this country we have protections for whistle—blowers including the disclosure act 1998 and others, even if some of us feel these protections should be more robust. underpinning this legislation is the correct premise, not that anyone can make anything they like, that they should be protection afforded to those who ta ke protection afforded to those who take personal risk to disclose wrongdoing where that disclosure it serves the public interest. julian assange is at risk of extradition to the us precisely because of this. diane abbott expressing some concern at events of the julian

diane abbott expressing some concern at events of thejulian assange case. questioning the treatment that has been meted out to him by the american authorities. expressing many of his supporters complaints and concerns about what's happening to him as he appears at westminster magistrates' court. as far as we know he hasn't let the courts yet, he will go to the crown court for sentencing having been found guilty of one charge involving his breach of one charge involving his breach of bail. that's all to come. let's return to brexit. theresa may has been updating mps on brexit after eu leaders granted the uk a six month extension. she said that nothing is more pressing or vital than resolving brexit and she hoped agreement can be reached during talks between the conservatives and labour. the brexit extension, agreed after talks late into the night in brussels with eu leaders, means the uk will leave the eu on the 31st of october — or earlier if mps do finally pass a brexit deal. let's hear now from tina mckenzie, chair of the federation of small businesses in northern ireland.

i'm guessing, tina, that there is relief that the immediate lifting of any risk of a no deal departure. relief that the immediate lifting of any risk of a no deal departurel there is absolute relief, as you know. especially for the small business community, there hasn't been any plans for preparations in terms of how we deal with trade over the border. we weren't prepared and we aren't prepared for a no—deal brexit and it would have been catastrophic for our economy here in the north and right across the uk, small businesses were not prepared for a no—deal brexit. it would have been a very harmful to the economy and society as a whole. we are already seeing a slowdown in investment because of all the uncertainty. it was definitely a relief we got the extension yesterday. relief that there is still lots to do. yes, and the real issueis still lots to do. yes, and the real issue is that this idea we've got the extension to october really eats

into a third of the time, the transition time, that we have as businesses to get ready for the final exit. we have the transition period to 2020. if we go and dither and debates until october, we've eaten into 30% of that time and businesses do need as much time as possible with a clear plan of what the agreement looks like in order to get ourselves ready. yes, we are glad we've got an extension. do we wa nt to glad we've got an extension. do we want to set for another six months listening to mp5 debating a disagreeing and not coming up with anything? certainly not. time is still of the essence and we feel we need certainty and we need to get a plan in place quickly in order that we can prepare for the final transition date. there is a deal on the table, theresa may would point out, the deal she tried to get through several times. the problem is we all know is the backstop. the

proposal of a hard border in ireland at bay. —— the prospect. do you agree with the british position which is that there cannot be a hard border, there are ways that this can be dealt with not involving a hard border? do you sense there is a change in the air on this? not necessarily in that sense. i think the whole issue has been the backstop has been held up as no one is prepared to compromise. we as the federation of small businesses in northern ireland have pity proposal on the table to allow northern ireland to become an enhanced economic zone, which would eradicate the need for worrying about a border north and south are from west to east, from northern ireland to great britain. it takes away those issues because in a sense that we would be a free port and it would give northern ireland the ability to attract more investment etc. there

are practical ways of putting simpletons bolt on studio solutions. if people are ambitious and open enough, we spoke to five cabinet ministers and i've spoken to the idea, and really it's about them now getting their heads around the table as to what will work. it's good to see as to what will work. it's good to see the labour party and conservative party coming together for the first time over two years later to talk about some solutions. we wa nt later to talk about some solutions. we want to encourage the mp5 to continue to work together across the housein continue to work together across the house in order to get a solution and for northern ireland in particular. yes, it's about trade north—south, but ultimately with the british and irish government and european commission they all have a responsibility to the good friday agreement and none of us want to see that going backwards. this week was the anniversary of the good friday agreement, so ultimately there were so agreement, so ultimately there were so much work done then by the european commission and the british and irish and the americans and other parties that it would be a shame to throw all of that away and

typically constitutional position of the uk in jeopardy. typically constitutional position of the uk injeopardy. i believe the prime minister knows first—hand, she is following the riches following because she doesn't want to put northern ireland in the position or scotla nd northern ireland in the position or scotland for that matter. always good to talk to you, tina. thanks for your time. let's speak now to chris morris our reality check coprrespondent. what's the feeling now? did both sides yesterday blank? the eu seems to have done to avoid the threat of ano to have done to avoid the threat of a no deal departure. this current government in the uk and this current constellation of eu leaders across the channel are not prepared to leave, for the uk to leave with no deal, they think it would be economically damaging but on the eu side it would be seen as a huge failure of statecraft and i think it would damage the eu's reputation around the world as an organisation

that if it needs to break up in some way it can do it in a controlled manner. i think there's a lot of pleasure on that score. there was a clear disagreement between the two main players among the eu 27, france and germany. emmanuel macron pushing ha rd and germany. emmanuel macron pushing hard for the shorter extension to put the pressure on. angela merkel and a lot of others are saying let's go much longer. they met in the middle ina go much longer. they met in the middle in a way that doesn't necessarily please anybody. we are looking at the deal in times of the uk perspective, but in brussels you we re uk perspective, but in brussels you were talking to european colleagues. that difference between france and germany, is that a big deal within the eu? the eu works best when france and germany are on the same page and they weren't on the same page and they weren't on the same page last night, but not in an angry way, just they thought they were different ways to deal with it. the 3ist different ways to deal with it. the 31st of october, the key thing that ticked a box for emmanuel macron, it's the day before the new president of the commission takes

office. his rather grand idea he wa nts to office. his rather grand idea he wants to lead a european renaissance, the changing of the guard at the top of the institutions asa guard at the top of the institutions as a reset button. i think he feels at the moment the brexit deadline is just before that's due to happen. if britain is due to leave on that schedule, and don't forget it could get extended again, but if it like we do leave on the 31st of october, you can start with britain out, new commission in place, a new president of the council, we move forward. how pleased are the in brussels at the prospect of uk meps being elected? it's interesting. that was one of the factors in different countries having different opinions. other people pushing for a short extension was an austrian leading light in the european people's party, the main centre—right grouping. the conservatives under david cameron

lift that grouping. they don't have a huge amount to gain in terms of making theirgrip a huge amount to gain in terms of making their grip bigger by the uk taking part in these elections. the other main grouping in the european parliament, the socialists, they would value having labour meps, they could be the biggest national delegation in their group. a more committee chairs you get, the more influence. there is a dynamic of moving into a european election campaign sitting alongside theirs. but for sure if the uk is to leave later this year, october, but for sure if the uk is to leave laterthis year, october, possibly earlier, it's going to be odd to send a delegation of meps to strasbourg and brussels for the first time injuly and then a couple of months later... it's going to be expensive as well. going to spend £100 million anyway preparing for holding the elections in the first place in this country, but i think a lot of businesses would say you've spent £100 million preparing for election, we spent an awful lot more than that collectively getting ready for a no deal scenario which now it

appears is not of the table yet, but it appears it won't happen. going to get some rest. thank you. chris morris, thank you very much. tadght enright is here — in a moment he will have the latest business news. first a look at the headlines on afternoon live. julian assange has been found guilty of breaching his bail after british police arrested the wikilea ks founder following seven years in the ecuadorian embassy. theresa may tells mps she wants britain to leave the european union as soon as possible after the eu delays the uk's departure until the end of october. jack shepherd — the man who killed a woman in a speedboat crash — has been jailed for an extra six months for fleeing the country. here's your business headlines on afternoon live. sir philip green has brought in two restructuring specialists to join the boards of his retail empire as the arcadia group, which includes topshop, miss selfridge and dorothy perkins, prepare for an overhaul. the pensions regulator has

warned train operators that they have a pensions deficit of £7.5 billion. the detail‘s emerged amid a row between the government and the train operators over who's responsible for the pensions of railway staff. yesterday, the department for transport blocked the operator stagecoach from bidding for new train contracts because it refused to pay. the government says it will probably allow the times and sunday times newspapers to merge their newsrooms. owner rupert murdoch promised to keep them separate when he bought the titles in 1981. but news uk has asked for permission to pool their resources because of increased competition in the news industry. let's start with arcadia, the retail group of sir philip green who was once feted as king of the high street. he's put two restructuring specialists on his board and it's expected he'll unveil a restructuring plan in early may. the company's already warned of the need forjob losses and store

closures as it adapts to an exceptionally challenging retail market. it's best known for its topshop and miss selfridge brands, but arcadia also includes burton, dorothy perkins and wallis. but as retail analyst maureen hinton told us earlier, its brands have gone out of fashion. it's got brands that have lost their releva nce it's got brands that have lost their relevance on the high street like dorothy perkins and burton. they are more like brian mark, asus, h&m. obviously it needs to slim it down and i'm sure that's what they are looking at as to what stories they can get rid of, but it needs to invest in the stores and the brands to bring them up to the kind of level that customers expect now. brian art is opening a store in birmingham today and has spent 70 million on it. a committee of mps has recommended that bailiffs should be regulated and be forced to wear body cameras to stop them from breaking the law.

they were responding to reports from charities of a dramatic rise in bailiffs using intimidating behaviour when trying to collect debts, sometimes threatening to break into people's homes and in some cases following through on that threat. let's talk to bob neill mp, chair of the justice committee. hejoins me now, welcome to the programme. alarming reports from these charities. however things been allowed to get so bad?” these charities. however things been allowed to get so bad? i think the problem is there is not a standardised approach to ensuring professional training and organisation within the sector. there are some very responsible and well—organised enforcement firms, but because there isn't an independent regulator there is no guarantee that looked at independently. the current process of certifying bailiffs by the court is really a rubber—stamping exercise. that's why we are saying there should be an independent regulator, there should be an independent complaints process and

perhaps a linkedin with the local government ombudsman. very often, the majority of cases where bailiffs are employed are collecting debts for local authorities. there is good evidence already from the police and prison service that body worn cameras prevent any dispute about what happened when there is a confrontation on the door or something like that. when it is the case they well—organised firms in the industry to get their people wearing body worn cameras, the are almost invariably any potential complaints. people can see what did or didn't happen. we think that should be made standard practice across the industry. is it difficult to strike the right balance on this between doing what he bailiffs is supposed to do, suing someone a 40 p debts, without overstepping the line? the civil enforcement association which represents bailiffs they've accused campaigners of failing to make a distinction between the laws that are broken and laws that people simply don't like.

i think the difficulty is this, it's that lack of any independent adjudicator in the process that's the problem. we heard evidence from both sides. there was good practice on the enforcement side, but also some very on the enforcement side, but also some very striking evidence from various debt charities where things we re various debt charities where things were not going as they should do will stop very often, you're dealing with people who are at a particularly low ebb in their lives. it is very often an underlying reason it is very often an underlying reason why they are in debt, chaotic family circumstances, out of work. they may have medical or other issues that need to be dealt with. what we want to do is ensure that people who are credited as bailiffs can show they've had the proper training to understand how to deal with those issues. and also to make sure that councils in particular add do mean users of bailiff services and that they have proper protocols in place to find out what the underlying problem because very often those people who owe the council some debt have also been received of other services off of

the council, which if you pulled it together might indicate whether underlying problems well. thank you very much forjoining us. let's have a look at how the markets are performing today. investors haven't been quite sure which way to go with the news that brexit will be delayed. the ftse last in the early morning. it went into positive territory in the afternoon, but it is losing ground again. it is airlines that have been performing quite well today. easyjet had warned earlier that summer bookings were down because of brexit but clearly investors now expect holiday—makers to start locking in their plans now that we know that brexit has been delayed. the paint did go above $1 31 early today, some of that excitement ran out as the day moved on. “— excitement ran out as the day moved on. —— the pound. that's where it currently stands right now. that's all from me. back to you now, simon, in westminster. it is one of the world's

most famous works of art and today a rare lithograph of edvard munck‘s the scream goes on display at the british museum. it is part of the largest uk exhibition of the norwegian artist's work which opens to the public today. david silito has been along to take a look. it's just one of those images, and here it is, greeting you on the steps of the british museum... the scream. this exhibition of edvard munch's many prints is a clue to why it's so well—known. .. because this was an artist who made copies, different versions — there are a number of screams. this is just one of them. what's important to remember is, we're not seeing a scream, this figure is hearing one. munch described it as an infinite scream, passing through nature, which is why it has become emblematic of the world pressing in on you, an age of anxiety. this exhibition is a total immersion into that world. the acid thrower, the dead mother... it's a panorama of emotional disquiet and for the museum,

the current national mood feels apt. so, why now and why this particular moment? well, i think for the moment, it speaks of all of our feelings in terms of the crisis, the political crisis we're feeling. but it is also a very human image. it is about that nature is telling us that everything leads to death and we must confront that. and munch continually confronted that and continually addressed that in his art. as an artist, his mother died very early, his beloved sister had died very early and he kept on replaying these feelings again and again and again and using those as inspiration for his art. does it feel like a particularly fitting munch moment? 0h, totally. this is peak munch, i think. if we are not feeling the scream now, we will never feel it.

so, a study of despair and anxiety from more than 100 years ago. but one that feels very now. this, after all, is an artwork with its own emoji. you don't get much more contemporary than that. david sillito, bbc news, the british museum. we've all felt like that at certain times, i know! we've all felt like that at certain times, i know i have. now it's time for a look at the weather with lucy martin. a lot of dry weather over the next few days but not feeling particularly warm. an area of high pressure sitting of in scandinavia keeping things quite settled but we re keeping things quite settled but were also holding onto that cool feed of a fairly chilly picture into the weekend. through tonight we hold onto that cloud for northern and eastern parts of scotland, the chance of showers. some clear spells across northern ireland, central southern england and wales. under

the clearer skies you could see a touch of frost, you can see the blue colours on the map. a chilly start tomorrow. there will be some sunny spells. cloud increasing through the day. a bit more applied to come than today. eastern england seeing some late sunshine. cool each year, the between seven and 11 celsius tomorrow. that takes us into the into the weekend. the weekend it will stay fairly chilly with a fair amount of dry weather and some sunshine, too.
