today at five: borisjohnson — the frontrunner in the conservative leadership race — says he will take part in the bbc tv debate next week. and in a bbc interview today, mrjohnson says the eu withdrawal agreement could be renegotiated — but insists we must leave by the end of october. it is absolutely crucial to prepare for no—deal, and i don't share the deep pessimism of some people about the consequences of no—deal. that's not to say that i don't think there will be some difficulties that need to be addressed. matt hancock pulls

out of the leadership race it's not clear which of the six remaining candidates he will now back. we'll have the latest on the race for the leadership. the other main stories on bbc news at 5: two years after the grenfell tower fire, a service of remembrance for the 72 people who lost their lives. two more hospital patients die in an outbreak of listeria linked to pre—packed sandwiches. heavy rain continues to cause problems in parts of the midlands and the north—west of england with flood warnings still in place. scotland's chances of staying in the women's world cup hang by a thread, after they lose to japan. are you a queen? and fighting aliens in men in black international. hear what mark kermode makes of that and the rest of this week's releases in the film review.

good evening. borisjohnson has responded to criticism that he's avoiding media scrutiny in the conservative leadership contest by agreeing to take part in a televised debate with his rivals next week. but he still says he won'tjoin a channel four debate on sunday, claiming he wants to avoid a "cacophony" of "blue on blue" candidates. meanwhile, the health secretary, matt hancock, has announced he is dropping out of the contest. after the first ballot, mr hancock was in sixth place with 20 votes, with borisjohnson the stand—out winner with 114 votes. there are now six candidates going through to the second ballot next week. political correspondent chris mason at

westminster campaign to prime minister it is well organised and cautious, and keen to avoid moments when he could slip up. his team know that avoiding public scrutiny entirely can be very risky giving critics a stronger case to question his legitimacy. there is no commitment to channel 4's debate on sunday but yesterday a bbc debate on sunday but yesterday a bbc debate on tuesday. in the past, we have had loads of candidates, it can be something of a cacophony, and i think we could have quite a lot of blue on blue action in the last three years, we don't necessarily need a lot more of that. all of the other candidates spent the morning saying that mrjohnson must take pa rt saying that mrjohnson must take part in tv debates including channel 4's this weekend. public costings is not the same as the scrutiny

of the media, the scrutiny of tv debates. this is about the prime minister of the united kingdom and what would churchill say somebody wants to be prime minister of the united kingdom, hiding away from the media, not taking part in these big occasions? the realjudgment that members of parliament have to make is who do they want to go up against boris in the final two and there is only one way they can judge that by seeing borisjohnson only one way they can judge that by seeing boris johnson up only one way they can judge that by seeing borisjohnson up on stage against the other candidates. the former brexit secretary dominic rob, nothing says a politician doing a photo opportunity more than donning a fluorescent jacket. i am in particular testing the vision, ideas and policies of other candidates in these first tv debates on sunday. and policies of other candidates in these first tv debates on sundaym isa these first tv debates on sundaym is a great opportunity. as for matt hancock, it is lights, camera but the end of the action for him. his attempt to be prime minister is over. i put myself forward as a candidate focused on the future but

the party has understandably focused very much on the here and now and how we get through brexit in the next few months so i have decided to withdraw from the contest. and take a look at this, mr hancock socking it to his former rival dominic rob, "this is what a feminist looks like". dominic raab has said he doesn't see himself as a feminist. this contest is hotting up. and here is the prize they are chasing, moving in injust over a month. our political correspondent jonathan blake is in westminster for us now. borisjohnson willjoin the televised debate next week after all. was there pressure on him to do so all. was there pressure on him to do so pretty much overwhelming? the pressure was building and the criticism only increasing from his fellow candidates in this race over his apparent lack of enthusiasm or refusal until now to confirm he would take part. we saw a joint

letter signed by all of them intending to put pressure on him. he has clearly decided this is the moment to confirm he will take part in that bbc debate next tuesday if not the channel for one, on sunday, whereas up until now —— the channel for debate on sunday. his canon —— his campaign had been keen to consolidate their lead and make sure they have support amongst other conservative mps and allow the other candidates to decide who will be in second place and join him in the final round, they have taken the view that an empty chair, empty podium in that debate simply would not be a good look and now is the time to engage, but by tuesday it will be a narrow field, at least one candidate will be eliminated almost certainly in the next round of voting on tuesday, before that debate. what is the latest on the leadership race? a lot of talk that the final two will be borisjohnson plus one other, any clearer who that

one other will be? not today. we have one fewer candidate to consider. matt hancock has withdrawn as you heard in that report. there are plenty of mps whose votes are up for grabs as well as that of mr hancock and his endorsement which will count for something in this race, so i am sure that all of the other candidates will be hitting the phones this weekend and into next week ahead of the next secret ballot among mps next tuesday when the bar will be considerably higher, 33 votes needed to survive, so those who supported matt hancock in the first round, their phones will be buzzing across the weekend. a memorial service has been held to mark the second anniversary of the grenfell tower fire, in which 72 people died. later, survivors and the bereaved will lay a wreath at the foot of the tower, in west london, and hold a vigil to remember those who lost their lives. but two years on from the

disaster, three—quarters of tall buildings in england with cladding categorised as unsafe still haven't had it removed, or modified. sarah campbell reports. lit up in memory of all those who died, and for a community still living with the scars of the fire. covered in a screen, but the remains of the tower still dominate this corner of london. two years on, the community has come together once again to remember. nabil choucair lost six members of his family that night. it's to make sure that they're never forgotten. it's also so that we all give our prayers to all of the 72 members, getting the community all together and ensuring that we will stick by each other, year after year,

until we get the justice and what we're looking for. zainab choucair. mierna choucair. whole families gone, young and old. mary mendy. all 72 were named this morning in st helen's church, in a service described as "of remembrance and resilience". forever in our hearts. # i know a change is going to come # ooh, yes, it will...# at 12 noon, 72 seconds of silence. the public inquiry into what happened is ongoing and will be for some time. the frustrations of

many were voiced here today. it is and should be a matter of national shame, that grenfell tower was allowed to get to the state, where a small fire in a faulty fridge on the fourth floor could cause so much devastation. that two years on, we seem still no clearer on where responsibility lies and where buildings across the country are still covered in cladding similar to that which seems to have caused the fire here. this was a service by and for a community whose members have tried so hard to help each other over the last two years. sarah campbell, bbc news. we will have more on the memorial commemorations after half past five. public health england says two more patients are now known to have died

after eating pre—packaged sandwiches and salads linked to a listeria outbreak in hospitals. our health editor, hugh pym, is with me. what's the latest? what more do we know? one week ago we learned there we re know? one week ago we learned there were six cases of listeria linked to hospital patients being given the sandwiches and salads which were carrying the bacteria, and three people have died. now they have been looking back going to the beginning of may, three was seriously ill. now we have learned that one of those he was ill as of last week has died since then and public health england has identified another death, again going back several weeks, looking at all the records and establishing that the death was caused by listeria. so we have a situation where there are nine cases and there have been five deaths and we understand it is seven trusts in england. last week there were two identified, one in manchester and one in liverpool. we don't know the other five but they are dotted

around different parts of england. are they still going through the records, so more details might emerge? that's right, because deaths could have been recorded for different reasons, there could have been a sepsis situation, blood poisoning caused by listeria and the cause of death not known at the time so public health england had to do a lot of detective work going back several weeks, looking at what has been happening in hospitals where sandwiches had been supplied by the company to establish whether the death could have been caused by listeria, from that source. it is important to note that these damaging in question made by the company are not being produced anymore so the source of this outbreak, if you like, has been contained, but in terms of what will emerge we simply don't know. public health england say there is no risk to the public, but they are continuing to monitor the situation very carefully. thank you very much,

hugh pym, our health editor. the headlines on bbc news: the front—runner in the tory leadership race, borisjohnson, says he will take part in the bbc tv debate next week as he tells the bbc that he believes the eu withdrawal agreement two years on from the grenfell tower fire, survivors and relatives of the 72 dead come together today to remember the tragedy. as you have just heard, two more hospital patients die in an outbreak of listeria linked to pre—packed sandwiches. two carers have been found guilty of murdering a vulnerable 19—year—old woman whose body has never been found. edward cairney and avriljones killed margaret fleming in inverclyde in december 1999, or the following month. suspicions were aroused only in 2016 after a benefits claim made byjones on margaret fleming's behalf. the couple will be

sentenced next month. lorna gordon has this report. edward cairney and avriljones. the supposed carers of a vulnerable young woman, who instead became her killers. in a bbc interview before the were charged, they denied margaret fleming had been harmed. did either of you harm margaret? no. far from it. so, margaret is alive and well, and she has come to no harm? that's right. no harm, unless she has got harmed in the last couple of weeks. but margaret, a quiet, shy girl had come to harm. the teenager had moved into the couple's home in inverkip after herfather died. on one occasion, she was seen there with duct tape around her wrists. on another, with drainpipes covering her arms up to her shoulders. margaret was last seen alive just before christmas

in 1999. couple made fantastical claims to cover up couple made fantastical claims to cover up their crimes that market was scared of the police and had run away, that she had run away to become a gang master, that she was a frustrated spy. it was left to anotherformer frustrated spy. it was left to another former teacher is to talk about the real margaret, an isolated teenager nobody was looking out for free disappeared without anyone realising she was gone.|j free disappeared without anyone realising she was gone. i thought margaret for two years and i'm here speaking about her as a person, and i'm the only person that police could find that has been able to remember her and that is sad that this little girl has just been forgotten. forgotten for almost 20 yea rs. forgotten. forgotten for almost 20 years. now margaret fleming's murderers, finally brought to justice. shortly after the couple were convicted, the senior investigating officer spoke on the steps of the courthouse. the horrific conditions in which she

lived were utterly disgusting and uninhabitable. for cairney and jones to continue the charade that she was still alive for all these years was absolutely abhorrent. with one of the reasons being for financial gain. we will never knowjust how margaret was killed, what we do know is that she lived her last days in what can only be described as a living hell. she must have felt that she was alone in the world with no—one coming to help her which isjust absolutely heartbreaking to think of. chuka umunna — who left labour earlier this year to help form the change uk party — has joined the liberal democrats. a warning, the following pictures contain flash photography. the former shadow business secretary said he was "absolutely delighted" to have joined the party. earlier he admitted he had "massively underestimated" the difficulty of setting a new party up. i think there is huge cause to be optimistic

and hopeful about the future. this is the most exciting time in my lifetime, i think, in many respects for the progressive, liberal politics that we have in our country. the local and european elections illustrated that millions of voters agree that the two main parties in british politics are broken. the tectonic plates are clearly shifting. and i think the public is now more in favour of upending the two—party system than at any time in my lifetime. back to one of our main stories, the second anniversary of the green felt our fire tragedy. there second anniversary of the green felt ourfire tragedy. there is second anniversary of the green felt our fire tragedy. there is still concern over what has been made to ensure fire safety in other tall buildings. the latest government figures show that two years

on from the grenfell tragedy, three quarters of tall buildings — with cladding categorised as unsafe — still haven't had it removed or modified, with work yet to be started on more than half. let's speak now to jonathan o'neill — managing director of the fire protection association — the uk's national fire safety organisation and one of 28 similar national bodies worldwide. hejoins us from our studios in worcester. what do you make of the figure that three quarters of tall buildings in england with cladding that is unsafe still has not been sorted out? england with cladding that is unsafe still has not been sorted ounm england with cladding that is unsafe still has not been sorted out? it is appalling, really, embarrassing to be sitting here two years after such a dreadful incident as gwen fell, and as you quite —— as grenfell, and apart from a ban on combustible materials in tall buildings that has brought in 12 months ago, nothing has changed at all. we still have not had a building regulations review, that is now for the last

14 yea rs, review, that is now for the last 14 years, and we never thought any of us years, and we never thought any of us infire years, and we never thought any of us in fire safety community thought that the combustible ban went far enough anyway. there are lots of other high—risk buildings in the built environment such as schools, hospitals and care homes. we saw on the weekend graphically in matter to a 6—storey block of flats go up exceptionally quickly with combustible balconies on the outside. who knows what would have happened but it happened during the day and everyone managed to escape. without being alarmist there could be another grenfell tower tragedy. you started with what has changed, and apart from that combustible ban nothing has changed. it is now —— there is no requirement for sprinklers in tall buildings, something that has been called on not just by the fire protection association backed the national fire

chiefs council, the association of british insurers, the royal institute of british architects, eve ryo ne institute of british architects, everyone is lobbying the government to say that these changes are desperately needed, and yet it falls on deaf ears. all of us were expecting some announcement before today, but it seems extraordinary that two years after the worst loss of life in a fire since the second world war in the uk, that we have had so little change in our fire safety regulations. it is extraordinary. why is that? straight after g re nfell extraordinary. why is that? straight after grenfell there was so much wringing of hands and everybody saying that this can never be allowed to happen again, but why do you think the authorities have been so slow to bring in these changes? it isa so slow to bring in these changes? it is a really good question. i think i was not alone in the fire safety professionals, writing to various ministers including the prime minister in the days immediately after the grenfell tragedy, to offer my assistance, as

much as we could muster, about a full building regulations review in the uk which had not been done at that point for 12 years. the built environment has changed so substantially in the last 12 years it is quite extraordinary with so many more combustible materials in the built environment. we know that buildings react differently in fire than they did a decade ago, and yet still we have no building regulations change. we had a call for evidence which was made just before christmas and again, we have still heard nothing from the government. i understand the government. i understand the government is tied up with other things at the moment but this needs to bea things at the moment but this needs to be a number one priority. you would think an event such as g re nfell would think an event such as grenfell that would at least have had some serious government action by now. it is a mystery to me and all fellow fire safety professionals in the uk. you have announced a number of things you want to see being done, cladding sorted out, staircases, smoke detectors, sensors, is there one that is most urgent and important that needs to

be addressed before everything else? the easiest thing to do is for the government to legislate very quickly on putting sprinklers in all high—risk buildings in the uk. we have had some watered down legislation recently proposed on sprinklers in schools. we've had the tragedy of multiple deaths in care homes, we have had grenfell tower, and yet still no sprinkler protection in all but the very tallest residential buildings in the uk. 30 metres or ten stories isjust too high. we need to be going down too high. we need to be going down to much lower, to six stories, and in scotland they propose it to be even lower. jonathan o'neill from the fire protection association, thank you very much for being with us. the world health organisation is meeting to decide whether the ebola outbreak in eastern congo should be declared an international public health

emergency. the virus has killed around 1,400 people in the democratic republic of the congo and this week it spread to neighbouring uganda, where two people have died. uganda has banned public gatherings in the caisisi district bordering congo and has vaccinated many public health workers. the wikilea ks founder, julian assange, has been ordered to face a full extradiction hearing next february. mr assange appeared via video link at westminster magistrates court after the united states requested his extradition to face trial on computer hacking charges. his legal team said the charges were "an outrageous and full—frontal assault" on journalistic rights. iran has strongly rejected us accusations that it was behind attacks on two oil tankers off its coast in the gulf of oman yesterday. washington released a video which it said showed iranian special forces removing an unexploded mine from the side of one of the ships. it's the second such

attack on tankers using the strategically important waterway — which separates iran from the arabian peninsula. in an interview with fox news, president trump said he was ready to launch talks with iran whenever it was ready, but added that he was in no rush. jonathan beale reports. is this proof of iran trying to remove evidence from one of the two tankers targeted in the gulf? america says their video shows iran's revolutionary guard taking away an unexploded mine, which the us believes they planted on one of the ships. the us navy also released these photos, taken earlier, of the same ship. one arrow pointing to where they believe a mine exploded, and the other where they think the mine was still attached. america has no doubt iran was behind these attacks on a critical shipping route. britain says it will study the evidence, but it too

is pointing the finger at iran. we have no reason not to believe the american assessment, and our instinct is to believe it, because they're our closest ally and we are very worried about the situation in iran. iran's still denying it. this morning in a tweet, their foreign minister accused the us ofjumping to make allegations without a shred of evidence. what is clear is that tensions are rising. with iran angered by america's re—imposition of sanctions over its nuclear programme, and the us beefing up its military presence in the region. neither side says they want a war, but the united states is stressing it's ready to defend its interests. jonathan beale, bbc news. flood warnings are still in place in parts of the midlands and north west of england, as heavy rain

continues to cause problems. about 400 passengers were stranded on a train near corby for eight hours after a landslide, caused by flooding, blocked the line. and a military helicopter was called into help shore up a riverbank in lincolnshire, after heavy rain. phil mackie has the details. the raf has spent the night trying to repair a breach in flood defences on the river steeping, which has caused severe flooding in wainfleet, to more 70 homes, and that number could rise. police say it's one of the most challenging emergencies that the county's ever faced. it's been three days of pain for those communities in wainfleet. to discover that your house has been flooded is, of course, really upsetting. they've been fantastic. some of the heroic efforts by those fire rescue officers. a real challenging operation here in lincolnshire. rail passengers had to be rescued near corby last night, after first one and then a second train became trapped by flooding and a landslide. it's been a week when it's seemed like it would never stop raining,

which would be less of a problem if it weren't the middle ofjune. it is unusual, and we've got a lot of people by rivers, who perhaps wouldn't normally be — on holiday, camping, that kind of stuff. what we're urging is people, if you are near rivers, they are very high and they're very swollen, they're reacting very quick to rain, increased vigilance, be very careful about your surroundings. the rain is easing off and the forecast is a little bit better, but the rivers are still filling up and the peak here in worcester isn't expected until late tomorrow afternoon. which means the disruption's going to continue for a few more days, and those with weekend plans willjust have to make the best of it, which will suit some more than others. phil mackie, bbc news, worcester. time for a look at the weather. some serious flooding there, louise. it has been a miserable week, some

of us had been desperate for rain but it has been too much in a short space of time. next week is certainly going to be better. there has been some sunshine for some as you can see here in west berkshire. sunny spells, feeling quite pleasant in the sunshine today. there have been some showers and quitea today. there have been some showers and quite a lot of cloud across the country but the showers have been fragmented as they move to the midlands up to the eastern half of england and across scotland and into northern ireland. as we go through the night batch out to the west will intensify, pushing into western fringes, so when east—west divide first thing, with the best of any drier, brighter weather certainly going to be across the eastern half of the uk. clouding over into the afternoon as that week whether font edges its way eastwards with a band of showers and cloud by the middle of showers and cloud by the middle of the afternoon. in the sunshine you will see highs of

19. scattered showers to the north—west. drier and warmer still as we move into the early half of next week.

this is bbc news. the headlines: the leading contender for the conservative party leadership race, boris johnson, says he will take part in a televised debate on the bbc on tuesday. the health secretary, matt hancock, drops out of the leadership race. so far, he hasn't said which of the remaining six candidates he will give his backing to. two years after the grenfell tower fire, a service of remembrance is held for the 72 people who lost their lives. two more hospital patients die in an outbreak of listeria linked to pre—packed sandwiches. heavy rain continues to cause problems in parts

of the midlands and north west of england with flood warnings still in place. let's get the sports news now. scotla nd scotland are facing a battle to stay in the win's world cup after they we re in the win's world cup after they were beaten 2—1 byjapan in the win's world cup after they were beaten 2—1 by japan earlier. that result means they are rooted to the bottom of group d. it was a dreadful start to their match, they we re dreadful start to their match, they were 2—0 down by half—time. a shot flew just over the head were 2—0 down by half—time. a shot flewjust over the head of lee alexander. japan got their second from the penalty spot. scotland did manage to score a goal late on but perhaps too little too late. it was scored but in the end it wasn't to be and scotland will have to effectively rely on being one of the

best third placed teams if they are to reach the last 16. two goals in the first world cup against teams ranked teams third and seventh in the world and we will take that. we didn't get points but another good second—half performance. the big thing for us now is that the players are not too deflated because we are going to our last game needing to win it. we probably knew that would be the case but we are hoping to get something out of the first two. it hasn't changed for us. italy lead jamaica 2—0, that is a five o'clock kick—off, that is on the bbc red button if you would like to watch. at apm, england will take on argentina, hoping to maintain their perfect results so far. they look like they've got good individual players who can create something for them. you can see they are something for them. you can see they a re grafters. something for them. you can see they are grafters. do not have the ball

as much as japan, which a lot of teams face when they play them, and just constantly just grind teams face when they play them, and just constantlyjust grind it out, get behind each other, you know, and they weren't taking any risks, they needed —— they knew they needed to get that point, and you could see after the game how emotional —— emotional they were to get that point. we can't take anything for granted or think they are going to bea granted or think they are going to be a lesser opponent than anyone in this group and we need to go in there with no complacency. having ended the season by winning the europa league, mauricio is set to leave chelsea after one year in charge. he will be playing for ——... deal could potentially be wrapped up today with a derby boss frank lampard today with a derby boss frank lampa rd now the today with a derby boss frank lampard now the favourite to take over at stamford bridge. england have eased past the west indies, beating them by eight wickets in the cricket world

cup in southampton. england's bowlers were on top from the start. chris gayle managed 36 before he was caught off the bowling of liam plunkett. the windies steadied themselves. that was untiljo stuck twice. they were all out, the west indies, for 212. captain owen left the field and didn't bat. jo root scored his second and replaced jason roy at the top of the order. ben stokes finished the job with a four to win the game. england are second in the group. next up for them is afghanistan on tuesday. justin rose has started a second round at the us open in california. the englishman ended the first day with a one shot, he won the

tournament back in 2013, finished yesterday with three straight birdies, another one today as well. he is on top of the leaderboard, a shot clear of the american rickie fowler rose. playing alongside tiger woods, he is one under. rory mcilroy is in the mix but he doesn't tee off until 9:30pm uk time. that is all the sport for now. you can get all of those stories, the reaction from the cricket world cup, the latest from the women's football world cup. we'll have a full round—up in sportsday at 6:30pm. let's return to the commemorations taking place on the second anniversary of the grenfell fire, in which 72 people died. it's clearly a very emotional day for many people, including nabil choucair who wasn't in the building at the time but lost six members of his family. he explains why marking the anniversary is so important to him.

it's to make sure that they are never forgotten. but it is also to show that we will give our prayers to all of the 72 members, getting the community all together, um, and ensuring that we will stick by each other, year after year until we get the justice and what we are looking for. you don't believe it has happened, you can't believe because it's hard. it's very hard to believe that it has happened. even though you know, and you see the death certificates and everything else, you find it very hard to accept, to believe. you know, it's not... it happened, you know it happened, but you don't believe it. and you don't want to accept it. but you have to accept it. so you're kind

of in that limbo situation. alice bhandhukravi is at at the notting hill methodist church, from where a silent march will be starting later this evening. alice, two years on, how would you assess the mood there around g re nfell assess the mood there around grenfell today? well, today the mood is calm, it's grenfell today? well, today the mood is calm, its quiet, it is considered. people have been gradually trickling in here for this evening's events. but the commemoration really started last night at about midnight, one o'clock this morning, when survivors and the bereaved let off a bunch of green balloons to remember those who perished. and, today, there will be more commemorations but the people who have been arriving are wearing green, lots of people are wearing green. people have adopted

green to symbolise the tragedy of grenfell. the street lights are green, local children have made bunting all in green, andi children have made bunting all in green, and i have been streaming in, bringing toys, flowers, to remember those who died two years ago. what will be happening later on this evening? well, shortly at about 6:15pm, there will be a private ceremony, that will be happening over my shoulder at the base of the tower. that will be shown across screens which have been positioned in the area so that everybody can see what is happening but only a fixed number of people have been invited to that private event. that will be followed at 7pm by a multi—faith vigil here outside notting hill methodist church, which has become something of a focal point for the local community, that will be taking place, people have been rehearsing here because there will be some performances,

some singing, some prayers. later on at 7:45pm, as you mentioned, there will be this sidewalk. the silent walk has been happening every month since, pretty much since the fire happened. but of course this month's silent walk will be particularly poignant because it is the two—year anniversary and it is the opportunity for the campaigners to apply pressure on the powers that be, they are calling forjustice for grenfell, they want to know the a nswe rs grenfell, they want to know the a nswers to grenfell, they want to know the answers to their questions, many questions left unanswered. and i expect there will be a lot of people at that silent walk this evening, which takes place here outside the methodist church, and it goes all along in a circle right up to where the fire actually happened. that will be happening within the next two hours, ben. thank you very

much. back now to our top story that boris johnson has responded to criticism that he is avoiding media scrutiny in the tory leadership contest. he has now agreed to take part in a televised debate with his rivals next week on bbc television. borisjohnson has given an extensive interview to my colleague mark mardell on radio 4's the world at one. let's hear what he had to say about the possibility of a no deal brexit. i don't idon'taim i don't aim for want no—deal brexit. i don't aim for want no—deal brexit. i don't want us to live with a wto solution. that is not what i am aiming for. but i certainly don't think that some of the messes of doom and disaster are true, and i think we will find plenty of people who will give you a very different verdict about what no deal would mean. “— verdict about what no deal would mean. ——i verdict about what no deal would mean. —— i don't think some of the

promises of doom and disaster artery. i think we can get to the situation where we are able to leave smoothly with an orderly managed brexit and and that is what we should be aiming for. but the only way to make sure that we can thence —— convinced our partners that we are determined to get that outcome is to prepare for no deal. and i think people do understand that. no, i think on the contrary, it is perfectly realistic and there is a clear way that the now effectively different withdrawal agreement can be disaggregated, the good bits of it can be taken out. for one thing, one thing that would be immediately right to do, which i suggested straight after the referendum result three years ago, i think what we should do is take the provisions on citizenship, take the offer that we

make to the 3.2 million european eu citizens in our country, and do it ina super citizens in our country, and do it in a super —— do it own accord, pass it through parliament. there is the case of pension rights and lessons can also be dealt with. the fundamental flaw in the current withdrawal agreement which everybody understands is the irish backstop arrangements. and don't forget that that prison, that hobson's choice which it presents any uk government with, either being unable to set our own economic and political destiny, or having to give up the government of northern ireland, everybody understands that the flaws in the backstop and mps on all sides of the house condemned it, the solution is
