you are watching beyond 100 days, the british prime minister tells politicians they have one last chance to deliver brexit. she promises a vote on another referendum under say on future arrangements. if they pass her withdrawal bill. but labour says it is a rehash. what chance does theresa may really have of selling this latest offer? donald trump woos voters in pennsylvania, his trade war is hurting them but many of them support him anyway. also on the programme, last week san francisco band police from using facial recognition technology. today became the first challenge in the uk. to keep you safe, or is it a breach of your human rights? really

worried and frightened stop you think you are going to die so you start everything possible to keep you going. the legendary racing driver niki lauda, who survived a near fatal crash in the 70s, has died. hello, i'm katty kay in washington, christian fraser is in london. theresa may has offered mps a chance to vote for a second brexit referendum if they advance her withdrawal deal to the next stage of the process. it is a major concession to labour mps, who demanded a second vote, but it risks alienating many of her own conservative members. she admitted getting a deal through parliament has proved harder than anticipated but she warned her conservative mps their chance to deliver brexit was slipping away. she said, i have compromised, now i ask you to

compromised, now i ask you to compromise too. i have also listened carefully to those who have been arguing for a second referendum. i have made my owi'i second referendum. i have made my own view on this clear on many times. i do not believe this is a route that we should take, because i think we should be implementing the result of the first referendum, not asking the british people to vote in the second one. but i recognise the genuine and sincere strength of feeling across the house on this important issue. the government will therefore include in the withdrawal agreement bill at introduction a requirement to vote on whether to hold a second referendum. in response the opposition leader jeremy corbyn said the government shouldn't plan on relying on labour votes to get the bill passed. we cannot support this bill because it isa cannot support this bill because it is a rehash of what was discussed before, and it doesn't make any fundamental moves on market alignment of the customs union, or indeed protection of rights, particularly in relation to consumer

rights and the quality of the food we will eat in the future. before the prime minister made her announcement, she held a two—hour meeting with members of the cabinet. nothing, she said, seemed to suggest they would give her approval, which must have been somewhat awkward. almost a third have either announced 01’ almost a third have either announced orare almost a third have either announced or are already announcing holding their own private hustings to replace her. lets speak to grant shapps, who voted with the pro—minister in meaningful vote number three. she promised a bold new offering, is it bold or is it reheated brexit broth? i'm afraid, this takes a somewhat backwards because what she has done its included elements of the negotiation that have been clearly taking place with labour all along about things like a second referendum and hints

and nudges towards that, and i think what that will do is actually put off some of my colleagues who had, like myself, voted in a third meaningful vote because we were reasonably satisfied with the idea that the backstop had been addressed, under different team would continue for the future trade deal. but now they would be put off may be by hearing that actually the whole thing could end up going to a second or confirmatory referendum, andl second or confirmatory referendum, and i think that will dissuade people who have taken her at her word when she said that wasn't something she would ever pursue. looking at some of the reaction, labour saying they will not vote for it, the snp will not vote for it, the dup says it still contains the same fundamental flaw, and the dup says it still contains the same fundamentalflaw, and of the dup says it still contains the same fundamental flaw, and of course many brexiteers will take their cue from the dup, so with that in mind, will members of her cabinet who want to become the next leader be urging her not to put this forward, or

would they prefer her to put it forward and it be defeated? they must have known that she was about to say this, and i have all accepted she was about to say it, and opted not to say anything themselves, although i suspect around the cabinet table, there were some pretty vibrant cabinet table, there were some pretty vibra nt debate cabinet table, there were some pretty vibrant debate about it, when they met earlier. it seems to me that the time for all that this is so that the time for all that this is so long since passed, probably at the beginning of the process, they could have been a sensible conversation about which of these compromises might help get it through parliament. but we have just heard from all the opposition leaders they are not supporting it and from what i pick up from talking to my colleagues on the backbenches, some of whom were supportive last time around, are not going to be this time around. i don't think there is any real prospect of it passing and i think we need to move oi'i passing and i think we need to move on to the next phase of this, which is as the prime minister has set a

timetable to elect a new leader. so you think she should go now before the vote happens? i mean, she said she wants to hold another vote, that's clearly what is going to happen, ithink that's clearly what is going to happen, i think also that week in which she wants to hold the votes, the 4th of june, which she wants to hold the votes, the 4th ofjune, president trump is coming over on the visit, the normandy d—day migrations, then she will hold this vote. so it is a busy week already lined up. —— the d—day commemorations. but i might be reading this wrong, but i rather suspect that the withdrawal agreement bill will go down with a bigger vote against it in the house of commons that the meaningful vote three. grant shapps, thank you for joining us. here are some of the concessions the government would make in the bill. a parliamentary vote on different customs options

including on the government's and proposalfor a temporary including on the government's and proposal for a temporary customs union for goods. a new work is's rights bill. —— workers' rights. union for goods. a new work is's rights bill. -- workers' rights. no weakening in environment of productions and a commitment that should the backstop come into force the government will assure that great britain stays aligned with northern ireland. let's go our two —— let's go to our political correspondent chris mason in westminster. the prime minister speaking about compromise, she has compromised and now other people have to comprise. have positions hardened so much now that compromise is not possible? i think that's right. i think the time for compromise has petered out. what was striking listening to the prime minster this afternoon was that there was a belligerence, but a valedictory tone, it was one of, look, i have run out of better ideas, here is my final stand, my final pitch. take it or leave it but beware of the consequences of rejecting it. her fear

beware of the consequences of rejecting it. herfearthat beware of the consequences of rejecting it. her fear that there would be a nightmare, as she put it, brexit never being resolved and politics never being able to move on, of the country never being able to move on, and she packaged her offer as a vehicle for taking the uk out of the european union but then allowing parliament and the country to shape what brexit should look like. but it seems too late. to pick up like. but it seems too late. to pick up on the point grant shapps was making, you do wonder what would have happened if she had presented a speech like the one today immediately after the general election, when the conservatives we nt election, when the conservatives went backwards and securing a majority on her own side was immediately going to look difficult. the challenge for downing street then in doing that would have been then in doing that would have been the risk that theresa may would have been bundled out by brexiter conservatives who opposed that strategy much earlier in the day. but you look at this now and you think, it simply does not seem to be any which way that the arithmetic

could add up in a way that she could get this through. well, quite. and presumably, as we go through the next two weeks, the chief whip will tell her that, that the votes are just not there. will she rolled the dice anyway and get them to vote on it, in which case, if it fails as ultimately it looks like it well, what options does that leave for her successor? is it then revoke or no deal? what do they do, can they bring a bill back? we are in a situation where the prime minster has a final go, which as things stand is what she is planning, but there is that vote at the tail end of the first full week ofjune, and it's rejected then she sits out a timetable for her departure and she goes and there is a new prime minister either by the tail end of july or potentially at the beginning of september, the crucial political reality, which you are alluding to, is that that prime minister will inherit the same arithmetic. regardless of their outlook on brexit, the divisions within parliament will be just the same.

what you are then looking at is the question of whether or not that prime minister thinks that they have the mandate to ask for another delay to brexit, to give them more time, particularly if they were only to ta ke particularly if they were only to take office in september, to try and work out what they were going to do. to secure that extension requires the unanimous support of the european union as well. i think probably that would be granted if the eu sniffed even a small percentage chance that they could be another referendum or an option for the uk staying in the eu. but the arithmetic would say the same. chris mason, thanks very much. he was suggesting, it was a fascinating mix of defiance, belligerence, concession, i've tried my best, i haven't managed to do it, not sure anyone else can manage but it raises the question if the numbers are not there, why are we going through the next two weeks in this process? you get the sense this is not so much

that they don't like the withdrawal agreement bill, they don't like the fa ct agreement bill, they don't like the fact theresa may is presenting it. i think that is the problem now on her own side. it almost becomes a referendum on the prime minister. looking at the comments from simon clarke, who is part of the sensible squad. she has lurched towards labour, hoping to pull over some of those labour mps that are from brexit supporting constituencies but she is haemorrhaging votes from the conservative party, it looks and a possible challenge. and probably not even with those workers' protections and environmental protections. nothing seems to be going her way at the moment. we are two days from european elections in which her party is running fourth behind the lib dems and on the eve of that vote news that two big british companies

are shedding jobs. british steel is on the brink of collapse unless the government agrees to an emergency loa n government agrees to an emergency loan by tomorrow. and an announcement that the restaurant chain ofjamie announcement that the restaurant chain of jamie oliver announcement that the restaurant chain ofjamie oliver is going into administration. jamie oliver has put out a statement on twitter. all but three of his 25 restaurants we re all but three of his 25 restaurants were closed, 1000 jobs gone. what has gone wrong? from the cheeky new chef on the block... look at that! to campaign, tv star and books, jilly 0liver has built an empire as britain's most successful chef —— jamie oliver. come and see us at jamie's italian. nothing was being served up today, though. his restau ra nt served up today, though. his restaurant business collapsed, 22 outlets closed with immediate effect, around 1000 jobs lost. in a

statement, jamie oliver said... so, what went wrong when yellow it has just got so, what went wrong when yellow it hasjust got a so, what went wrong when yellow it has just got a bit too chainy. around here there are so many cracking little restaurants. not the kind of place that stands out as someone kind of place that stands out as someone i want to spend my money. there are so many other great places around, so much competition. today's news is not a total surprise. this chain almost went bust a couple of yea rs chain almost went bust a couple of years ago. jamie oliver put in £13 million of his own money to save it. 12 outlets already closed last year and a restructuring plan. but it is clear that turnaround hasn't worked. it has been tough for lots of other casual dining chains. these arejust some of the brands who have had to

close outlets, counting the cost of overexpansion. mid-market restau ra nts overexpansion. mid-market restaurants are being squeezed at both ends and they are finding it quite hard to make money at this time. if they do not offer exactly what consumers want, they find they can't make money because the costs of wages and business rates and the cost of running promotions to get people through the door are simply too much. we are going to fry that off... his other businesses might be thriving but it seems jamie 0liver‘s restau ra nts thriving but it seems jamie 0liver‘s restaurants were not able to keep up with changing tastes and what has become an increasingly crowded market. emma simpson, bbc news. meanwhile british steel is waiting to hear whether it will get that government bailout, it is trying to secure a $38 million, the company is blaming brexit for the crisis, though you can see that while the industry used to be one of the country was my biggest employers, it has been under pressure for many years. at its height, this industry employed 300,000 people, todayjust 30,000 workers left in steel. theyjust can't keep up with countries like

china, which sells steel much quicker. in the past two years, china has produced more steel than britain has in its entire history. that is the capacity that the chinese have. produce it en masse, sell it cheap on international markets. is exactly what we have been hearing here right for the last couple of years, we have spoken about it many times in this programme, been to the areas of the country which used to have lots of steelworkers now have a fraction of those numbers. the chances of it really coming back, with the chinese production as it is in the chinese prices as they are... it's difficult for the government because there are 6000 jobs in it directly, 20,000 in the wider industry foster when i was in paris! the wider industry foster when i was in paris i was in the east of the country where they have steel smelting plants and a big industry, and it was the same story there, they just couldn't

and it was the same story there, theyjust couldn't keep them open, even though there was enormous pressure on the socialist government in france to do that. just not practical. and this next story related to that jobs practical. and this next story related to thatjobs issue, four weeks europe's far—right populace have been presenting themselves as a united front that will batter the political establishment. no doubt the european parliament will look very different come sunday night after the election. in the uk, the brexit party is pulling away, the conservatives are training but in germany, the green party is actually a major political force, germany, the green party is actually a major politicalforce, and germany, the green party is actually a major political force, and they are taking the battle to the hard right afd. ross atkins has been travelling around europe for us and he is in berlin. the greens are very prominent in germany, perhaps more so than in any other european country. hello, christian. yes, they have a long history in germany are being significant political players but even in the context of that, what we are seeing in the polls here

is worthy of note. go back to 2017, we we re is worthy of note. go back to 2017, we were all concentrating on the party which came third, the afd, which had a strong anti—immigration stance. it is still pulling at roughly its levels from 2017 but it has been leapfrogged by the greens, he seemed to be doing exceptionally well with younger voters. — mike hussein. 0ne well with younger voters. — mike hussein. one of the things that have been fascinating to see how these europol in perth arena developed —— parliamentary election campaigns are so parliamentary election campaigns are so different from country to country. yesterday in warsaw it was about a culture war that is going on. in italy on saturday it was about immigration and national sovereignty. here in germany, perhaps more than anywhere in the eu, climate change is a priority for the voters and the green party has benefited. there is a top german up for one of the top positions in the eu, the germans be that of the election, their role in the european parliament stays the same, are they

looking to expand it or look for closer ties, what do they want from germany's role in the european parliament after this? to be honest, i think germans have got used to being in the dominant position. we talk about the eu's power couple of france and germany but in reality, angela merkel has more influence over what is happening than emmanuel macron in part because of the economics. it has the biggest economy in the eu, represents over 20% of the eu's economy in the eu, represents over 20% of the eu's gdp, it economy in the eu, represents over 20% of the eu's gdp, it contributes more money than any other member state. so germans have got used to having a lot of influence. of course if they had the president of the european commission as well, it would give them further influence, but i have to be honest, they are not thinking so much today about who gets that gig in brussels, they are more concentrating on the fact that angela merkel's party as a new leader and angela merkel's party as a new leaderand in angela merkel's party as a new leader and in the last few days she has reported to have been pushing for perhaps angela merkel not to

stay as long as 2021, which is the end of herterm. stay as long as 2021, which is the end of her term. that political drama has been generating more interest than the drama around who takes over at the commission. thanks very much. a lot of domestic politics playing out in these elections as well. nevada is the first state in america to have more women than men running its local politics. after the election last year, politics. after the election last yea r, 52% of politics. after the election last year, 52% of the state legislature is female. 0n the whole these female politicians are younger and more diverse. there are several african—americans, hispanics, even one native american and one asian american. the vast majority of these women are democrats. but it's not just that nevada has looked different, it eats acting differently. it is proposing a bill to do with sexual assault and women's health and sex trafficking. for more on this we go to our corresponded —— to the democratic

majority leader. great to have you with us. as i understand, nevada didn't get to this target by accident, there has been quite active grassroots campaign to train women and get them into politics. are there lessons for the wider political spectrum in america? are there lessons for the wider political spectrum in america ?|j think the lessons are that if you make a concentrated effort and you don't give up over time, there will be real change. it's commendable that you've crossed the 50% mark but may be the real story is the fact there are 49 other legislatures who are not at this level and there are still big differences, we were focusing last week in alabama and the abortion ruling the past last week where all the republicans are men. when you have women sitting at the table, when you have women as policymakers, you get different types of legislation. regardless of what is happening in the political landscape when it comes to your own state legislature, you've got to have diversity, you have to have

vast representation and getting women to the table in a meaningful way and a significant way that can change the conversation is the first step. there are not many legislators around the world where a majority of the members are female. what has changed in nevada in terms of politics since women are in the majority? i think you see a lot more legislation that concerns issues that affect us. we continue to have great legislation around the economy and around health care, but we have got bills that are specific to women's needs. we have bills that are looking at sexual harassment in the workplace, especially among certain elected officials, and saying we are ending these practices now. we are having conversations that in no way would have been had ten years ago always kind of old school thinking, if you would, around issues that could be discussed by a legislature. so in my experience occasionally when women start to do well in certain fields,

they get some pushback from some of they get some pushback from some of the men. i wonder whether any of the new members had faced any kind of criticism. i don't think so. i want to say that i think we have a very strong camaraderie here, sol to say that i think we have a very strong camaraderie here, so i think if you wanted to give a pushback on any specific legislator, you would find all of us standing behind her to support her. we realise that this is notjust to support her. we realise that this is not just about an individual any more, this is bigger, it's about a moment in which we have the ability to show the world what it means when you have women at the table. at the midterms in 2018, i came over and i remember there were record numbers of women elected to congress, to state legislators, to state houses, but it's not a bipartisan phenomenon, is it? is largely only democrats out. the republicans have some way to go on this.” democrats out. the republicans have some way to go on this. i think there is a lot of truth in that statement. while we have a majority

of women elected in our synod here, there is only one female senator and ican there is only one female senator and i can only imagine how lonely it is to be the only person of your gender sitting in a caucus meeting. i still think there is a way to go and i really hope this encourages not just other states but both parties to be retrospective and look inside themselves and say, what can we do to make sure we have parity in this process and get more women elected? do you think that by holding yourselves up as a role model to other states around the united states, we have an election next year, nevada has been a first, and will we see others? i would hope so, i expect so, i see no reason why not. ok! thank you very much for joining us. i have to say, no surprise here, i did love that story when i saw it. only a quarter of women in congress, by the way. would

not be an issue for republicans, when they look at the 2020 primary season, do they know they are facing a challenge from the democrats when it comes to women members of legislature, do they know that the women voters will make the difference? are they going to have to look at other than white, middle—aged and grey? to look at other than white, middle-aged and grey? it's a concern they face on two fronts, they have to have more women and they have said this publicly, they need to have a better driver is getting women to run, just as they have done in nevada, and they had to appeal to women voters as well, those are inextricably linked. we have spoken many times about this on the programme in the past. talking of women, the bbc‘s first female newsreader has died at the age of 93. nancy winton was an experienced journalist who first read the news on the 20th ofjune in 1960.. journalist who first read the news on the 20th ofjune in 1960. a real trailblazer, she was the first person to present the evening

bulletin on bbc one on a sunday evening. the audience said it was not acceptable for the late news to be read by a woman! the bbc responded by saying it was only an experience and took her off the air, it was another 15 years before a female newsreader, angela rippon, became a regular fixture on the evening schedule. winton went on to work for itv, she died in hospital last week after falling at home. somebody pointed out to me earlier that it was actually a meeting room that it was actually a meeting room thatis that it was actually a meeting room that is named after her on the second floor which is interesting because it has been there for some time, usually only get a meeting room named after you when you die. she was that well thought of she had already got there. she is a reminder of the incredible trailblazers that came before us all. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up, we will look at how three states that have been key for donald trump could be the hardest hit by his trade war

with china. and facial recognition is in court, police use it to catch criminals but opponents worry it is pa rt criminals but opponents worry it is part of a growing trend in government surveillance. good evening. no big changes in the weather over the next couple of days, so what we have had today is likely you will see again tomorrow. for many, that means blue skies, lengthy spells of warm sunshine. but not for all. we have seen more cloud across northern scotland in particular, and here at times we have seen outbreaks of rain through the day. we are in a bit of high pressure sandwich, low—pressure systems either side. it's a wheat ridge of high pressure so it is some weather fronts to make inroads. ridge of high pressure so it is some weatherfronts to make inroads. —— a week ridge. we have seen more rain across northern scotland, you can see more cloud here. some light showers for eastern scotland pushing into north—east england. some

rumbles of thunder. those showers will continue into this evening before eventually fading away. the rain on and off through northern scotland, more cloud here and a cloudy zone pushing into north wales, to north—west england and north midlands, may produce some drizzle. elsewhere clear skies, chilly in some spots on the could be some mist around first thing on wednesday morning. but it should lift quite quickly. the rain through the northern isles will be quite persistent through wednesday, gradually sinking further southwards, introducing more cloud. then we have that cloudy zone stretching through north wales across to lincolnshire, which could produce one or two showers, but for most produce one or two showers, but for m ost pla ces produce one or two showers, but for most places the winds are light, then think spells of sunshine, the temperatures further south and east you come, 21 celsius possibly the maximum. into thursday, a bit of a pincer movement with these fronts trying to edge the way in. but it doesn't look as if they will make much of an impact. i think we will

keep the cloud, further showery outbreaks across northern scotland, and probably more cloud working its way into northern ireland and the southern half of the uk as the day goes on. but further holes in the cloud allowing for brighter and sunny spells to emerge. 0nce cloud allowing for brighter and sunny spells to emerge. once again with light winds, it should feel pleasa nt with light winds, it should feel pleasant with the highest of the temperatures down towards the south east of england. into the bank holiday weekend, it looks as though low pressure will have a greater influence on the weather. turning more unsettled, rain at times, but there will still be dry and sunny intervals, a touch more breezy too, especially on sunday.

this is beyond one hundred days. with me katty kay in washington, christian fraser is in london. our top stories. theresa may gives concessions looking for support for her brexit deal amoung them the option for mps to hold a second referendum. donald trump speaks to his supporters in pennsylvania one of the crucial states hit by the china trade war and essentialfor a run in 2020. coming up in the next half hour..... the us tones down its rhetoric concerning iran while mike pompeo briefs both congress and the senate behind closed doors. niki lauda the legendary driver

who returned to racing after a horrific crash dies at the age of 70. donald trump and his high—stakes trade war with china could be one of the keys to him winning a second term. monday he held a rally in pennsylvania and told supporters his trade war has strengthened the steel injury and increased shelves. he does not launch his real action but officially until next month but has already been holding rallies in key industrial states. politics is a crazy world but when you have the best employment numbers in history, when you have the best unemployment numbers in history, when you have the best economy probably we have ever had, i do not know how you lose this election! and they liked his tough talk on china at that rally last night for that but this trade battle is hurting american farmers

because china has retaliated against his tariffs by imposing its own duties on us agricultural goods. for example american cattle farmers pulled up in may of 2018 chinese ta riffs pulled up in may of 2018 chinese tariffs on us beef wet 12% but today that has gone up to 37% on all us beef imports, a 25% increase. china only puts a tariff of 70%, of 7% on beef from australia making it much cheaper than usb. we arejoined by a cattle farmer who voted for donald trump in 2016. how are these tariffs affecting you personally? well when there is an unfair trade balance we cannot get our products exported and that causes more products here and that causes more products here and that causes more products here and that causes prices to go down and when that happens we do not make

money and so we will not be in business for much longer. so it is hurting you? right now the tariffs are housing prices, i know that our president is working hard in our favour, i backed him in 2016 and i will back him again in 2020 because he isa will back him again in 2020 because he is a born negotiator and he will negotiate with these countries and we are going to be ok. wejust need a little more patience, i know a lot of my colleagues, their patience is running thin because prices are not weather should be but we have to let donald trump do hisjob. weather should be but we have to let donald trump do his job. just to be clear, you voted for donald trump and you are hurting because of the policies that he implemented but you still support him so what is it specifically about president you like? his ability to negotiate. you see what he has done already for the economy because it is booming right now and we have a very low

unemployment rate. so how can you argue with that, it is unfortunate that right now there are these ta riffs that right now there are these tariffs on agriculture but i truly feel he will make that better, he will fix that. do you like the town that he has adopted notjust with china but also for example mexico and canada when it comes to issues of trade? we know that he had that turn when we voted for him and he has not changed that is how he negotiates and i believe he is doing a good job for america. wejust have to be patient unfortunately, some things take time, but there are other issues, it could be also a weather related issue for the crops that could cause prices to go up but we need to get these tariffs fix because unfair trade is not good. do you think that in a way farmers are

taking the pain and playing a national role here across the country that even though they pay the price for this it is worth it in the price for this it is worth it in the long run and in a way you are fulfilling a national role, you know what you're doing here? we are in business to produce food, that is what we do and we are good at it. in fa ct what we do and we are good at it. in fact they are very good at it. so good that we have surpluses so other nations have people that need our product and i would hope that there will lead would see what we have and get this trade imbalance fixed. good to talk to you, thank you for that insight. wisconsin is one of the three rust belt states that donald trump took back from the democrats on his way to the presidency. donald trump turned all those red in the 2016 election but the margins were

spent and in total less than 80,000 votes in it. ron christie a former adviser to george w bush is with us now. what did you think of what that farmer was saying, you have people suffering because of the trade war and yet they stick with donald trump anyway? good to see you, it is a fascinating juxtaposition of the trump supporter, you have a president involved in a trade war with the chinese, the chinese retaliate by imposing tariffs on american farmers and hurting their livelihoods frankly and yet they still want to vote for him. the national donald trump is going to face retaliation from a lot of his bass i think remains yet to be seen. 0ther bass i think remains yet to be seen. other people in those three states that he won over, to think that he risks now losing because of some of the things that he is doing, that could counter the support that he gets from people who voted for him

and still like him in spite of his trade policies? look at those three states and you noticed that there are marginal, a total of 80,000 votes propelled him to the presidency and i have to think a lot of people in the steel industry or in agriculture are looking at some of his policies and saying this is not what i voted for, and in fact it has hurt my bottom line so i would expect that we would see air force 0ne revved up for a lot more rallies in the states in the months to come. i want to turn to the oversight issue that we've spoken about a lot, a p pa re ntly issue that we've spoken about a lot, apparently democrats last night had apparently democrats last night had a heated debate behind closed doors, they were talking about impeachment, some on thejudicial they were talking about impeachment, some on the judicial committee want to impeach the president and nancy pelosi is resisting but i did not realise until today that one the president stonewalls, there is a weight through impeachment that they could fast forward the process. can

you put your hat on and explain how that happens? the way that the digital system works here in the united states is there is a separation of powers,. — the judicial system. sugar separation of powers,. — the judicialsystem. sugarthe separation of powers,. — the judicial system. sugar the house of representatives initiate impeachment proceedings some of those provisions and protections are pierced. some of the information in the robert mueller report would be revealed to democrats in the house fishery. so the democrats face a dilemma, they do not want to go in favour of impeachment but they want to figure out a way of how to get information short of impeachment. thank you very much. as the white house weighs up

the best way to keep control of the presidency the democrats as we discussed are struggling with the question of how to hold donald trump to account for the up—to—date the former lawyer of the president ordered to appear before the house judiciary committee. that pressure is now building on democrats to launch impeachment proceedings in order to try to get those documents. we're joined now by adrian watson from the democratic national committee ballroom. what is the dilemma now for nancy pelosi, you are sitting in the speakers chair, you have outspoken members of your own party going on television on a regular basis saying we have to begin impeachment proceedings because we have to help the president to account, what you do?|j president to account, what you do?” think nancy pelosi is in a tough spot because our party has a of our opinions and we all know the dilemma is really whether the findings of

the robert mueller report i something that merit a very serious process and something that nancy pelosi is taking really seriously. at the democratic national committee where i am we do not have a vote so. but what you do have is a role in making sure democrats keep control of the house in the next election, do you think the best way to keep control of the house for the democrats is to launch impeachment proceedings or not to launch them?” do not think it is a political calculation and it should be based on what is right and what the evidence points to and that is something that the house is figuring out right now. we have this investigation going on. a big part of that is they need... there is no political question here at all?” think we all know that there is a political calculation here. i'm not sure that people know which one is best. a lot of americans are worried

about corruption in government so i think the conventional wisdom that talking about russia and talking about this is not something that gets the democrats elected. but if you look at what the candidates in 2018 and now i saying, they're spending all the time on issues that people care about for that people ca re people care about for that people care about. health care, the economy. wages, kitchen table things that we all care about deeply. i think as far as the political calculation goes it is something but certainly not what the decision will be based on. the president has called it an unprecedented witchhunt and he has a point, it is notjust federal investigations but state and local investigations, there has never been situation where local attorneys are being investigated to this extent? i think of them an has demonstrated anything is that this is not a witchhunt at all. — if the

mother investigation has demonstrated anything. there's a lot of evidence in there and a lot of wrongdoing, whether or not that goes to the criminal bar that had to be rich to something else but that being said this is a very serious thing, something that i think all americans deserve to have transparency on in our government and something that democrats feel is pa rt and something that democrats feel is part of their constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight that they want to not just get to the bottom of it but they have a responsibility to do that. but a lot of these investigations are in states where democrats stand to gain for you least accept that if it is not impeachment that the democrats have to be selective about which areas they focus on because at the moment it seems a bit scatter—gun.” think no president has ever given us so much material! it is incredible

the amount of wrongdoing and unethical behaviour criminal or not that we've seen from the champ administration and from trump himself. if he has nothing to hide i think he should feel free to let us see these financial records, his tax returns and so much more. because thatis returns and so much more. because that is the basic tenet of being present that you are a public servant for the people and you are there to execute on their priorities. thank you very much. nancy pelosi has a trickyjob. she has to handle all of this and the demand for oversight that the constitution demands that congress has of the site over the white house and there is a role there for the legislature. she also has a juggle issue of trying to hold onto house of representatives and the next election and different factions in your own party, those people who have been vocal on television at the moment four impeachment proceedings and those not being so vocal but who

are democrats who are elected in donald trump districts who are nervous about what this process of investigation would do to their chances of being re—elected. for the past couple of weeks the white house has one, has ramped up speculation that it has one, has ramped up speculation thatitis has one, has ramped up speculation that it is considering military conflict with iran. members of the national security team pointed to new threats against us interests in the region and the pentagon drew up plans for troop deployments in the middle east. donald trump said they do not want conflict but then said that they would annihilate iran. to date the acting us defence secretary said the actions they've taken in the past few weeks has contained the crisis. our prudent response i think has given iranians time to recalculate, i think our response to the measure of our will and our resolve will protect our people and

our interests in the region.” resolve will protect our people and our interests in the region. i state department correspondent is on capitol hill and joins us now. mike pompeo has been talking behind closed doors to lawmakers, are we getting a new line from the administration here that basically it seems iran has rolled back and we are also turning things down? it seems iran has rolled back and we are also turning things down7m it seems iran has rolled back and we are also turning things down? it is are also turning things down? it is a bit like that, seeing state department officials last week told us department officials last week told us the threat was real and imminent and now you have mr shanahan sent the threat is not imminent any more, he says it has been put on hold and he says it has been put on hold and he credits american deterrence for that, the show for it in the region, saying the iranians have recalculated. so it seems to be the line that they are now taking but congress has been demanding for a while to know what these threats are and that is why they are getting

these briefings today. and you could see the partisan differences already going into the briefings, the republicans lindsey graham saying this is testing us and so we do need this is testing us and so we do need this powerful shell force. you the democrats suspicious that the administration has been hiking this intelligence all along for political reasons and they say they want the fa cts reasons and they say they want the facts behind the rhetoric and the bluster and bullying. they also want to know if the administration has a strategy to deal with iran that would avoid unnecessary conflict. some still many questions here even though shanahan has been guiding things back. thank you very much and we do not know what that intelligence was and so we do not know if been ramped back onto the national recognition, does the softwa re national recognition, does the software ensures safety or is it a breach of human rights, that still to come. british drivers are still

relu cta nt to to come. british drivers are still reluctant to buy an electric car with only a quarter of mattress to purchase one in the next five years. a study by transport research laboratory says consumers are worried about how last and access to charging points. here is tom burridge. we chose petrol because it just fitted with our needs. definitely felt guilty i wanted to support the green cause but i think it was the range and the anxiety of getting stuck somewhere. john is typical of uk consumers, research from independent transport research laboratory suggests that most of us would not buy electric as our main car in the next five years. in no way they have cracked the electric transition. nearly half of new cars bought you so far this year are electric. it has been crazy about the change we have had in norway so far. we have a system where we track

skies we do not want, petrol and diesel and we do not tax electric cars. so no vat, a quarter of the price of a car and this car park is full of them because it is free if you are electric. we just needed a carand for us you are electric. we just needed a car and for us the sensible choice was electric. it is cheaper and much cheaper to use. it is easier to choose electric because you know people who have had them, you've seen people who have had them, you've seen them all around and know that they work. driving the change in norway is basic economics, electric for many is now the cheaper option. back here in the government will give you £3500 towards the cost of electric but controversially it reduced the subsidy last year and for plug—in hybrids it scrapped the grant altogether. the car that we drive effects the air that we breathe but many of us remain unconvinced that we are ready to convert to electric.

tributes have been paid to date to the legendary motor racing driver niki lauda who died at the age of 7a that three times formula 1 world champion, he made an astonishing recovery after a near fatal crash 1976. then he went on to become a successful businessman launching his own airline while becoming a mentor for younger drivers. here is katie cornel. 0ther other drivers had to rescue him from this horrific crash in 1976. we got him away from the burning ferrari

and got him to lie down on the race track. i had his head in my lap but at the time we do not appreciate that all the injuries that he would suffer much worse from was the inhalation of toxic fumes from the burning fibreglass which then got into his lungs and almost took his life at that stage. just a0 days later his wounds unhealed, he was back behind the wheel. he'd been read his last rites in hospital but refused to give up. when that feeling came, you get a big fright. you know you are very are worried and frightened that you are going to die and then it means you start everything possible to keep you going and you can't start your body because the body doesn't react. you can only start the brain. when the brain works, the body starts to work sooner or later. his determination to return later that season was fuelled by his great rivalry with british driverjames hunt. he would eventually lose his crown to his friend but came back the following year to become world champion for a second time, a feat recognised by the bbc in 1977. the bbc trophy for the outstanding

0verseas personality of the year. applause. lauda would win the title again, this time with mclaren in 1984 and today his former team was one of many to pay tribute saying... the three—time champion leaves a legacy in his sport like no other. lauda lived to inspire. an unbelievable study in resilience. the film about his rivalry with james hunt, rush, is inspirational. there was one quote, i could trust and even though we were competing, we we re and even though we were competing, we were racing together towards a corner at 200 miles an hour and i knew that he would be exact and i could trust him. of course it is an

exact science, motor racing and he isa exact science, motor racing and he is a living example of what could happen when it goes wrong. getting so many tributes. police say facial recognition is ground—breaking technology allowing them to track down criminals who otherwise would escape justice the technology is intrusive and dangerous and dangerous and part of a worrying trend in government surveillance with up to date the first major legal challenge to that facial recognition technology was in court in cardiff. how do police in the uk use the technology? let's take a look. faces appear in existing photo database, they look. faces appear in existing photo data base, they magically look. faces appear in existing photo database, they magically mapped, cameras in public places then automatically scan faces in a crowd and then there's biometrics that cameras produce a cross matched at speed with those in the database.

0ur speed with those in the database. our legal correspondent has this report. this is a police demonstration of automatic facial recognition. cameras take a biometric map of the faces of everyone who passes the camera. these are uniquely identifiable to the individual who is then checked against watchlists. the technology has been used by three police forces, most notably south wales. in 2017, ed bridges had his image captured. i popped out of the office to go and buy a sandwich, do a bit of christmas shopping and on the main pedestrian shopping street in cardiff was a police van. and by the time i was close enough to see the words automatic facial recognition technology on the van, i'd already had my data captured by it, that struck me as quite a fundamental invasion of my privacy. considering the power of automated facial recognition to capture the biometric data of vast numbers

of us without our consent as we go about our everyday business in public places, it's remarkable that currently, there is no regulation in place to govern the way that the police use it. so it's just like taking off them without their knowledge or consent, their dna, or theirfingerprint. it doesn't have any place on our streets. but many, including this senior former security official, disagree. the police have got a major problem with reducing resources and a growing number of people with terrorist sympathies and also, major criminals on our streets who should be behind bars. it's one tool that will help them put them behind bars and that's what we want to stay safe. the legal challenge seeks a declaration that automatic facial recognition breaches privacy, data protection and equality laws. last year, south wales police said its use was lawful and proportionate. the case now involves the home

office and information commissioner and could provide critical guidance on if and when, it's lawful to use the technology. clive coleman, bbc news. clearly a n clearly an important tool in fighting crime but i think it is moving at a pace that the public are not yet ready for and has become pa rt not yet ready for and has become part of that wider backlash against government and tech firms using private data without permission and last week san francisco became the first city to ban facial recognition technology. 0ther first city to ban facial recognition technology. other states like massachusetts are likely to follow suit so clearly there is a public debate needing to happen. a couple of days ago that there was a big report out of georgetown university in washington sent police abuses of facial recognition technology, when they just spotted people facial recognition technology, when theyjust spotted people in public spaces but of course place in the uk say this helps us to solve crimes

like dna fingerprinting, it isjust another tool and we need it.l discussion to be had, thank you for being with us and we will see the same time tomorrow. lengthy spells of warm sunshine but not for all, we've seen more clout across northern scotland in particular and here at times we have seen particular and here at times we have seen outbreaks of rain through the day. we are in a high sandwich at the moment low pressure systems sitting either side of us. it is a wea k sitting either side of us. it is a weak ridge of high pressure so it is a lying weather fronts to make inroads and that is what we've seen more rain across northern scotland and quitea more rain across northern scotland and quite a bit more clout and also some lively showers for eastern scotla nd some lively showers for eastern scotland putting down into north—east england. we had some rumbles of thunder and a shower is

continued into this evening before eventually fading away. the rain on a d raft eventually fading away. the rain on a draft food northern scotland, cloud exam pushing into north wales and into north—west england and the north midlands may produce some drizzle. elsewhere clear skies are so chilly in some spots and we could have sent mr mann first thing wednesday morning but that lift quickly. — we could have some missed around. then we have that cloudy son stretching to north wales across to lincolnshire which could produce some showers but for most places the wind is light, lengthy spells of sunshine, the highest temperature the further south and east you come, 21 celsius possibly the maximum. into thursday and a bit of a 20 movement with the weather fronts trying to edge their way in. it does not look as though they will make much of an impact. i think we keep the cloud cover and shower outbreaks

across northern scotland and probably more clout working its way into northern ireland and the southern part of the uk as the day goes on. but further holes in the cloud allowing for brighter and sunny spells to emerge and once again with a light wind it should feel pleasant with the highest temperatures down towards the south—east of england. for the bank holiday weekend low pressure will have a greater influence so telling more unsettled, commit rain at times but still sunny intervals. more breezy especially on sunday.

this is bbc news. i'm carrie gracie. the headlines at eight: theresa may says mps have one last chance to deliver brexit and promises them a vote on another referendum, if they back her bill. the government will therefore include in the withdrawal agreement bill at introduction a requirement to vote on whether to hold a second referendum. and this must take place before the withdrawal agreement can be ratified. but the labour leader jeremy corbyn says his party would not support the bill, and says he can't see how it would get through parliament. we can't support this bill because it's basically a rehash of what was discussed before, and it doesn't make fundamental moves on market alignment or the customs union or indeed the protection of rights.
