what projects would have been made in getting the deal through finally. course, thrilled. they were after ten o'clock this morning, celebrating with some members of the military, you can see. introduce themselves to him, but he fled trying to get back to his let's get a look at brexit from the it comes after months of protests. business perspective. quarters. they then pursued him. he the head of the international monetary fund — possessed it. he said to them that christine lagarde — one image — very shared has told the bbc that further widely on social media — uncertainty over brexit will hinder this was unlawful, i am not coming became a symbol. growth in the uk economy. although the woman pictured she added that she hoped a deal with you. they struggle to handcuff could be struck quickly. him, but eventually managed to here reminds us... if there was a uncertainty, we could restrain him still protesting that expect the impact on competence would continue because whether you the arrest was unlawful. he was are talking about investors, whether marched off to the piece, take to you're talking about decisions as to west and central, and within the mets are four hours or so, was in it's estimated that more than 70% where to expand, where to set up, how to organise the supply chain, of the protesters are female. people are going to wonder what the westminster courts, facing what he has been trying to avoid but the let me show you some of the key last almost seven years. the comes next, and how will it settle. pictures of this story. dating all accusation that he had failed to the way back to december, when you are a former finance minister. surrender bail, and extradition demonstrations began, when you watched the negotiations taking place, how do you think they wa rra nts to surrender bail, and extradition warrants to the united states, and have been handled? very unfair to also where he is going to go tonight, which is a night and initially about the

rising cost of living as the economy deteriorated. in november 2018, inflation present. —— and present. passjudgement when you was at almost 70%. have been handled? very unfair to pass judgement when you are on the outside. the thing that puzzled me, then the military got involved. i have to say, back in early january the americans wantjulian assange government forces began firing because he's accused of engaging on protesters, killing scores when i was discussing with in a conspiracy with the former and injuring many more. representatives of the cbi and other intelligence analyst this was after one chelsea manning. uk industry leaders, was not for she's already served a seven—year protester‘s funeral. prison term for disclosing more but they than 700,000 confidential documents. us authorities allege assange not lack of preparation, because i think only encouraged manning to hack secure computer systems, but helped her crack the password. they all tried to put their mind to once inside the system, they were able to release footage the rallies grew. it and rolled the management teams like this. but they became about... and all the employees and all that, these pictures are from saturday outside the president's compound. but more the impossibility for some a video taken from a us helicopter but it was these clashes — of them to actually organise gunship in iraq in 2007. between the military and the national intelligence the video shows us forces killing and security services — themselves. there would be several iraqi civilians which sealed al—bashir‘s fate. as well as two journalists. either way, he is out of power. significant disruptions they could anne soy has more on not actually prepare for, so that's what i found very concerning on the it caused a huge scandal at the time, and put al—bashir‘s time in power. wikileaks on the radar. omar al—bashir, a dominant figure in one hand and very sad. as always, well if extradited, assange could face up to five years in jail. here's the response from his lawyer. sudan's politics. defiance to the much more on brexit online from bbc west. the former paratrooper took news. this, we thought comeau was going to this sets a dangerous president for bea this, we thought comeau was going to be a good and the new story we told power through military coup in 1989. you. the israelis were so close. media organisations and journalists in europe and elsewhere around the war was the hallmark of much of his

world. —— president. this president rule. where he comes from thought means that any generalist can be against rebels in the many christian extradited by having truthful southin against rebels in the many christian south in one of the world's longa the first private space mission did civil wars. —— longest. another will information about the united states. not and how hope. we got this selfie when it was 22km away — you can see the moon in the background. —— precedent. respond —— war was fought in the but then this happen. we were told area of da rfur. it crashed onto the moon after a let's get more from gary series of technical failures... not respond —— war was fought in the area of darfur. the government bombed the region from above and 0'donoghue in washington. unleashed militia against the the outcome that the israelis were people. hundreds of thousands died, hoping for. we were told there had from us how upset they were yellow and omar al—bashir was indicted by been a problem with the engine. no question, this was fun of the biggest security leaks despite that, spirits the international terminal court for work crimes and crimes against were still high. no question, this was fun of the biggest security lea ks and intelligence history. a huge amounts here is the moment the bad news was of data, state department, documents, diplomatic cables, humanity. this is important from the announced. we had a failure in the spacecraft. military documents, upset classified us state department. it says... it we unfortunately have not managed to land successfully. we are the seventh country to orbit and beyond level. this was a huge and beyond level. this was a huge goes on... the moon and the fourth to reach the moon's surface, and it's a tremendous achievement up to now. and very embarrassment for the intelligence services. they were upset about this. they well, we didn't make it.

the americans taking a very close but we definitely tried, and i think the achievement court—martialed chelsea, the interest. to pick up on what anne soy was saying. of getting to where we got intelligence officer at the time. is really tremendous. the international criminal court i think we can be proud. applause she got seven years, 35 years, which issued arrest warrants was commuted by president 0bama. in fa ct, was commuted by president 0bama. in fact, chelsea is back injailfor failing to co—operate with the grand jury. that is the sort of scale at for omar al—bashir in 2009 and 2010 — connected to alleged genocide, this. mike pompeo, the secretary of war crimes and crimes if at first, you don't succeed, you against humanity in darfur try again. in western sudan. the icc‘s website describes him that's benjamin neta nyahu as "at large" and says until he's state, he described wikileaks as a transferred to the hague, the case remains in the pre—trial stage. that's benjamin netanyahu fresh from getting a fifth term as prime that's because the icc won't try individuals non—state hostile intelligence unless they're in the courtroom. minister. here is ken roth from human rights the space craft was called service. bearing in mind every the beresheet — which in hebrew watch. means "in the beginning". lots of first. americans already said, supporters are doing a question of can he get it's israel's debut into the space anything close to a fair trial in race, and was hoped to be the first the states? yes, of course, that we will have to see if that comes to privately funded space craft to land on the moon. that bit will have to wait. is also the smallest spacecraft to be sent will be one of the arguments that pass. here is omar al—bashir talking split during that extradition to the moon. here's some of the about these charges back in 2016. process. at that is successful and reaction on twitter. translation: this is gets here, we will notice that the a politicized tribunal. you have seen how the huge crowds charges are really focusing not so who came to greet me in darfur.

these are the same crowds i'm much on the publication of this accused of committing genocide information because what he is here, and ethnic cleansing against. this is why i've defied the tribunal this from a former ambassador to if he gets here, he will enjoy the and have been travelling freely around the world. israel... protection and first amendment of the constitution, and freedom of the military says omar al—bashir speech, they are focusing more on the way in which he helped chelsea he added that they did reach the is being kept in a safe location. manning hack into the computer sudan is now in a state moon but probably not in one piece. systems, getting hold of the of emergency, a curfew in place. passwords. that kind of breach. 0ne the airspace, all ports and here is the australian space of entry into sudan have thing that will make the extradition been temporarily closed. agency, saying... ofa i've been getting all the details on thing that will make the extradition of a lot easier for us is that obviously these crimes do not carry the death penalty. that has been one this, you can imagine this is a big of the big stumbling blocks to story for bbc arabic, and here is and certainly that is true. getting people extradited from and that's something omar el—tayeb ahmed from bbc arabic. echoed by monica grady, professor of planetry europe and general to the united and space sciences states. that will not apply in this at open university. i spoke to her straight case. what will be interesting is after the announcment. backin we got so close, to get within ten when they add any more indictments to the ones that are already or seven km of the lunar surface and back in december, i... al-bashir the engine, one of the engines published. as we know, wikileaks was the platform for the publication of those democratic committee, national failing, tragic. especially after we visiting this garrison, saying he is willing to hand over to someone from have just seen the fantastic selfie, committee e—mails that were leaked the israeli flag and the space is the military because he believes in during the 2016 general elections. pa rt during the 2016 general elections. the military because he believes in part of what led to the whole the military because he believes in the military as an army man, and he really logo with the moon in the

investigation in russia's meddling believes this is the right thing. backdrop. that was a image. does it into the election. i am going to come back to you and a couple of highlight the problems in trying to minutes. but see some of the but there is a difference between do this on a private budget rather handing over and being arrested, and than a state budget? no, no, i don't he's been arrested. does that mean he's been arrested. does that mean he may face charges? most unlikely, reactions. believe that at all. i think what it highlights is that space exploration because one of the reassurances which he seeks was that he would not is difficult and that there are a lwa ys is difficult and that there are be tried internally, one, two, he always problems, and the way this the former editor of was done was fine. you know, it was the guardian alan rusbridger... would not be handed over to the international criminal court. these funded well enough. and as far as are his major concerns and i'm sure, u nless are his major concerns and i'm sure, unless he's had assurances regarding this, he will have not agreed to i'm aware, everything was going well into one component failed, and that happens at so many times. this. and they said he has agreed to rafael correa, this. and they said he has agreed to this change. this is what has been the man who granted assange asylum, lea ked eve n this change. this is what has been leaked even by his own people. and it's back to the drawing board. has been scathing about his i spoke to paul rincon, successor as president. there was a great sigh of relief science editorfor the bbc website. amongst his supporters and his they will be devastated about this. they will be devastated about this. they have been working since 2010. there's a lot of money and hard supporters of the islamist ruling effort that's gone into this. a lot party, because everything else is in

rafael correa, place. true, there is no council of of volunteers, 200 people in the the man who granted assange asylum, programme from our volunteers. they has been scathing about his have given their time and effort and successor as president. this will be a hard pill to swallow. cecilia baria, bbc mundo in miami. ministers, some things have been the person there next to the prime why did ecuador change its mind? dissolved like parliament, but everything else is in place. lemme minister is maurice kohn, who has put more than $10 million into this. understand what you're saying that this was quite predictable, wasn't her. it seems like a big moment, as he isa put more than $10 million into this. he is a private investor and it? it was quite predictable because philanthropist. that will be a real the president has stood down, but a long time, the decision was disappointed for him as it will be expected to be made. and the farmer you're saying actually this may be for everyone else. you are telling continuity. at the same people will us for everyone else. you are telling us earlier this craft is about the stay in power. absolutely. it's ecuador president as you said, who similarto size of a large fridge. this was a stay in power. absolutely. it's similar to what happened timu gobbi small engine responsible for controlling the spacecraft. is president right now, they have small engine responsible for controlling the spacecraftm small engine responsible for controlling the spacecraft. it was. the engine was being built by a been involved in a political powers company in berkshire in the uk. and struggle. they used to be analysed, they had to adapt it. it usually —— happened to mugabe in zimbabwe and right now, they are come in the region in other used on geosynchronous satellites face—to—face. with cross—sections of countries. this is why there was a commercial satellites, but they had big joy in the beginning, that the to adapt it for this purpose and alleged corruption activities and they had never used it for this army is going to make a statement purpose, to land on the moon. they will have learned some they from soon. there was a big joy. they knew this. they did a lot of testing and also they had been in the two ultimately, it comes down to one he was going to go. as soon the opposite sides in the political moment and if something goes wrong, it can be a little thing, software, spectrum. by now be i see this minister of defence appeared on the reaction and the decision that was scene, and read what he had read,

hardware, you have lost all that made for the ecuadoran government is there was disappointment across the work. the work will begin again, i'm because that was the treaty last sure. week where the president of ecuador opposition platforms. thanks to our so near, yet so far this time collea g u es opposition platforms. thanks to our colleagues at bbc arabic for their said people to donate close to the help in this sudan story. in a few around. we'll be back on monday. you minutes, we will turn to this. there assange were hacking his accounts then. —— see you then. and putting cameras inside of some were some laughs at the summit to be of the houses and all the fed honest, it was a late night for all. dominant private meetings he had the decision indian was a compromise hello there. so far this week has with family and friends. it can be for the european union's members —— quite confusing for people to been dominated by a good deal of dry understand how assange became weather, if chilly. that might not the decision in the end was a suit all of if you keep watching involved in domestic ecuadorian compromise. we will get into that. this forecast and you are after some politics. i wonder do normal people, rain, there is a little in the do voters care, or is this an forecast later on. but we are still argument between a president and under this influence of former president? yes, it is an high—pressure across canada nivea. this easterly feed driving in this let's continue with brexit. cooler air, but it's been can argument between a president and we've been through the details preventing weather fronts for moving former president, and even people of the new extension in from the atlantic and producing have been involved. he has been and the political reaction to it. now to hear from people outside any significant rain. that's been the westminster bubble. the case on friday. maybe a few judith moritz has been to knowsley in merseyside. what do i think about brexit isolated showers into eastern and the latest extension? systematically talking about the further agony for the country. scotland, one or two into east all the people don't know

what is going on, in fact, anglia. slightly drier air on friday assange involvement in domestic the politicians don't even know by the end of the day. the potential what is going on. for a little more sunshine across after all those extensions, it became one big comedy for now. north sea coast. it's not going to theyjust need to all get together politics. they say this goes against and basically decide what they want to do. be much warmer. seven, 8 degrees at if you think the worlds of cushions and politics international law and interfering in are far apart, think again. best for some. that dry air will internal affairs. that we get to push its way steadily west friday staff at this soft furnishings night into saturday. it means we factory might have had enough speak to you. thank you very much keep some cloud down to the brexit, but their boss southwest for a time but with those indeed. —— that was good to speak to welcomes the extension. clear skies and drier air, those temperatures are likely to follow i just hope that the withdrawal it. another chilly start on saturday you. agreement that the prime minister the original charges that mr assange has put forward actually passes, faced when he sought asylum because it is good for our business morning. rural areas and certainly a inside the embassy weren't because we do a lot of business about national security in the us. they were actually from sweden, with the united states, where two women have accused him which will give us the opportunity cold start. and with that drier air, of sexual assault. to get a trade deal, it does mean into the weekend, it elisabeth massi fritz is the lawyer for one and we also do a lot of business will feel for many of us a little of the women who says mr assange with the eu, where we buy a lot bit colder still, but it remains to raped her in 2010. she wants swedish prosecutors of our fabrics from. brexit is bothering both ends bea bit colder still, but it remains to be a good deal of dry sunny weather of the business spectrum here, in the forecast. the milder letter to re—open that case, jaguar land rover‘s plant nearby has stopped production this week, weather still sitting out into the so that he can face trial there. blaming uncertainties over it, atla ntic weather still sitting out into the atlantic for the weekend. —— the she said today... and the smallest businesses say they are feeling the effects, too. milder, wetter. saturday will start we should say, julian assange off as an sparkling skies and lots denies that accusation. off as an sparkling skies and lots of sunshine coming through. there is next, this is what the the british the mp here used to be harold wilson. a risk into east anglia and debbie he was prime minister government has said. during the 1975 referendum the southeast of c1 or isolated

when britain voted to remain, showers as we go to the day. —— and so how do locals think brexit will play out? in six months, we will get another maybe into the southeast of seeing one or two. for most of us, dry with no one is above the law. assange is six months, won't we? it will go on and on? some sunny spells and temperatures no hero. he has hidden from the yeah, until we have another vote. again between seven and 11 celsius. truth for years and years, and it is we need a new leader that believes as we move out of saturday into in brexit and can take right in his future should be the country forward. sunday, sunday potentially seize the this european election, chance of a little more in the way decided by the british central i am going to vote because livelihoods are at stake. of cloud around. and as we go to the how do you predict afternoon, maybe one or two isolated brexit is going to end? a general election, and people have system. never been more politicised showers. but that area of in the history of working—class british folk! high—pressure that's been so judith moritz, bbc news, knowsley. dominant this week will start to ease its way a bit further south and gary, what happens next? east, and that's going to allow the wind direction to move to more of a southeasterly flow. what is that this is evidently a huge political going to do? it is going to allow story, but can't up politicians influence the process of the extradition, for example? yes, they that frontal system to push in from the atlantic and eventually it will push in more in the way of milder hello, outside source. we are live can. initially, what will happen in air. on tuesday, we run the risk of here in the bbc news room. the case is he will be sentenced for our lead story is... air. on tuesday, we run the risk of a few showers into southwest england breaking those bail conditions in and parts of wales. the julian assange, the founder relation to the swedish case you of wikileaks, is in a british prison southeasterly flow will drive in we re relation to the swedish case you were talking about. there is a tonight, facing possible extradition that mild airand to the united states. southeasterly flow will drive in that mild air and temperatures likely to be in double digits in the let's quickly work through some of

straight forward traditional element pretty much across the country. in there. then you will be hearing the main stories from bbc world notable difference in the feel of service. the weather. it will get a little at least 18 new confirmed ebola hearings for the warrants, we will cases have been reported bit milder through the middle part in democratic republic of congo — of the week for that area of low see if sweden provides its warrants, the largest increase the country has pressure will bring more in the way seen in a single day since the start of showers through thursday and yes, into the longer easter weekend but we will hit the us ones. that one will be argued. at the end of of the outbreak in august. ahead. it does look as though from the day, the home secretary can have wednesday, we start to drive up the the day, the home secretary can have the final say over and extradition there have been over 1000 confirmed cases and more airfrom the than 750 people have died. wednesday, we start to drive up the is granted or not. this will at the that's from bbc afrique. air from the atlantic, down from the highest court in south korea has spain, and that will mean a milder end be a political decision. ithink ruled that the country's ban on abortion is unconstitutional. source. but unfortunately, it also campaigners have been means a little more unsettled welcoming the move. south korea has one weather. we'll see temperatures the tone of what you heard there of the strictest abortion laws in the developed world. perhaps slightly above average for from the british government suggests women who have undergone the time of year but there will be the procedure have beenjailed that they may not stand in the way orfined, and doctors carrying out more showers to look out for. for the procedure have faced imprisonment. the easter weekend, there is the very much. thank you, gary. that is potential we start a little more that's from bbc world service. gary in washington. we will put u nsettled potential we start a little more unsettled than we have seen on late with a classic return to sunshine and one of the most watched and april showers. however, high—pressure may well build yet brexit and in a few minutes. videos on our website is a group of nepali teenagers travelling to meet their parents again and quiet things down for the for the first time in 12 years. they have been apart because their remote home villages second half of the easter weekend. are so far away from their school. theresa may take care. tells mps she wants britain to leave their story has been the european union turned into a documentary, children of the snow land.

as soon as possible —— after the eu delays the uk's you can see some of the eclipse, as departure until the end of october. i say, you can see some of the eclipse, as isay, in you can see some of the eclipse, as i say, in the most—watched list. jack shepherd — who went on the run before being convicted of killing this time last night, we were waiting to hear a woman in a speedboat crash — whether or not the eu would grant has been sentenced to an extra six months in prison the uk an extension. for fleeing the country. he'd beenjailed for six years in his absence in the end, they did. the news came for the manslaughter of charlotte brown. this morning, he appeared at the old bailey after being through at about 2am in the morning. extradited from georgia yesterday. speaking outside court, it took so long because all the ms brown's father graham said 27 leaders had to agree the family felt "a sense of relief". on what they were offering. he said... bbc‘s christian was helping us out ‘due to shepherd's recklessness and negligent actions, charlotte isn't here to defend herself." her sister katie said shepherd had ‘continued to prolong our agony, last night. and indeed, there were he has not shown any real remorse or accountability for his actions, accusing charlie of being responsible for her own death some big gaps within the european union but they came to a single as recently as this week. point. his lack of respect and decency here's donald tusk. continues to astound us. let me finish with a message we hope that shepherd's appeal to our british friends. against his conviction will be this extension is as dismissed, and as a family we can flexible as i expected — continue to fight for and a little bit shorter

a change in the laws. than i expected — but it's still enough to find the best possible solution. please do not waste this time. it goes to the end of october. mr tusk wanted the flexible this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. extension to last a year. 0ur lead story... julian assange, the founder but as he alluded to, of wikileaks, is in a british prison tonight, facing possible extradition there was a difference of opinion. adam fleming, one of the bbc‘s to the united states. correspondence in brussels said... there's a new brexit deadline — 310ctober. here's theresa may earlier. the main opponent of the date of our departure from a long extension was emmanuel macron. 00:14:37,976 --> 2147483051:44:03,702 he's repeatedly said he wants 2147483051:44:03,702 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 brexit over and done with. the eu and the participation in the parliamentary elections remains a decision for this house. as president tusk said last night, during this time, the course of action will be entirely in the uk's hands. the uk has formally accepted the extension. here's the letter doing so. let's look at the detail.

the new date of 31 october was chosen for a few reasons. one is that one november is when a new eu commission comes in — so a change of leadership at the top of the eu's civil service. this is a big moment. they would like brexit done before then. but this is a flexible extension — so if theresa may's deal does get through parliament, brexit could happen earlier. there are plenty of conditions to this arrangement. the uk take part in the european elections that start on 23 may. if it doesn't, then the exit date will be onejune. the uk has begun the process and

taking parts of those elections. let's look at the office that donald has made last night. during this time, the call for action will be entirely in the uk past mcca nts. action will be entirely in the uk past mccants. in which case the extension will be terminated, it can also be a strategy. but not in the withdrawal agreement. under the end of this period, they could have the possibility to resolve article 50 and brexit altogether. —— uk's hands. from theresa may's perspective, this is more time to pass her deal. remember it's already failed twice — once losing by 230 votes, the largest ever government defeat

in history — and again by 149 votes. ——4th largest defeat. she tried to separate it into its two constituent parts the political declaration and the withdrawal agreement and to try to pass only the latter. that failed, too. the withdrawal agreement was projected. this is because theresa may's mps voted it down again and again and they are unrepentant. then there's the democratic unionist party, the small northern irish party that mrs may had tried to woo in order to get her deal through. that didn't work because

of opposition dup to the the irish border backstop in the withdrawal deal, an aspect of the withdrawal deal that's an insurance policy meant to keep the irish border open in the event of no trade deal being agreed. that dup was a post of that because one way to ensure that there is no ha rd one way to ensure that there is no hard but it is to make sure it they are treated differently, at the dup is having none of that. here's the dup today. the only motion they got through with the majority but the motion today but the backstop. we believe that she needs to look at that again as she should come out here very strongly essay the backstop is the issue. let's make it is both remembering to realise that parliament she came back to the problem is that this cannot happen.

but the eu have repeatedly said the withdrawal agreement cannot be reopened, and this is angela merkel after the extension was announced. we made it clear that withdrawal agreement cannot be compromised. we can talk about future relations. britain is attempting to fight an orderly withdrawal from the european union. so — still lacking the votes of members of her own party and the dup, theresa may's current approach is to turn across the aisle, to the opposition labour party. she met with its leader, jeremy corbyn, again today. but this clip of him at prime minister's questions should give you an idea ofjust how collegiate they are. the second extension in the space of a fortnight represents not only a diplomatic failure, but it is another milestone in the government's mishandling of the entire brexit process. and here's the shadow brexit secretary on how the talks themselves are going.

i think we all felt a deep sense of duty to try to break the impasse. but that is a long distance between us, and some barely difficult challenges if we are going to find a way for it. the talks are ongoing, but there are challenges in there. well those talks will be on hold for a bit — because mps will actually be getting an easter holiday. parliament isn't sitting again until april 23rd. 0ur colleagues at westminster aren't so lucky though — here'sjonathan blake speaking to me earlier. i felt like the last man standing in westminster tonight. mps have cleared out. they got their delayed easter break and as the prime minister told them in the house of commons earlier, they have gone away and hopefully as far as she is concerned, be reflected on what to

do next and the best course of action for the brexit process. but this extension has done that the eu has granted is simply to slow the process down. there is a new date, a new deadline, but the hurdle is the prime minister and the government have to overcome to get dealt past and the house of commons to deliver brexit, and as they put it in an orderly manner, remain in place. that challenge, if anything, we'll get more difficult because with my the urgency perhaps that theresa may could have relied on to sway a few more conservative mps and some on the labour bench at the back a version of her deal, that urgency is gone. i think people are going to go away on the easter break and think about what to do next. maybe some of the heat, energy, maybe some of the that tempered us that we have all felt here in westminster over the last few weeks will follow well slightly, but at this point, it is very ha rd to

slightly, but at this point, it is very hard to read but the next move will be. i think when mps come back after the easter break, we will find ourselves in much the same situation as we do now. this is an article by alastair campbell, who's campaigning for a second referendum. "there's an upside to our brexit humiliation — a second referendum is more likely." the scottish national party are also pushing for this. that isabel opportunity for brexit to be stopped. people have learned at the last two years at the implications of brexit, the lack of planning, and some of the issues that need to be confronted about the opportunity is there and that needs to be seized. let's the idea of a confirmatory vote — but on theresa may's deal — came up in parliament. here's one labour. that she acknowledged that putting it to the public is higher break

from this deadlock equipment —— does she acknowledge? campaigners for a second referendum may feel they have the wind in their sails but — i put it tojonathan blake earlier — that doesn't give them a majority in parliament. i think the arguments that you have heard a similarto i think the arguments that you have heard a similar to those who want a second referendum have been making for some time now. it is billy, i think, illustrative of the delay, for the extension, allows people on all sides of westminster and beyond to put their arguments again and try to put their arguments again and try to make them more loudly and argued that they think that brexit process should be stopped, then this is the time to do it. if they think it is the time to make another referenda, this is the time. i think may be to leave at the customs union arrangement that could find support across the house of commons, this is the time to solidify and work towards that. i do not think this extension is necessarily something thatis extension is necessarily something that is going to change the dynamic

completely, but more willjust allow people to carry on banking the same job to whatever they had been thinking the last few months to try to get what they want. —— banking. we had theresa may to say today that the talks with a brick comes to nothing, there'll be boats coming to nothing, there'll be boats coming to nothing, it could be a further referendum is one of those. that may both focus minds of those for and against that to vote for it one way or another. maybe even change their minds because in that scenario, the government has said it but follow suit and follow the will of parliament. crucially, only if labour will do the same. another thing to listen about, the premiership. listen to this. will she resign? i think you know the

a nswer to she resign? i think you know the answer to that. at the answer but not yet. she sent a fair deal will get to parliament, she would stand down. we are a base away from that. it is so i from the telegraph saying this. we basically are going to be in the european elections, so the pressure builds i guess. that is definitely pressure on the prime minister. when you had from their belt casts at the prime minister should resign, and there have been over the last couple of weeks, and even longer. a lot of conservative mps coming in the public saying that the prime minister should go. thank you jonathan. i will be back in a few
