president trump has formally relaunched his campaign for four more years in the white house with a rally in orlando, florida. he said he believes a nation must ca re he said he believes a nation must care for its own citizens first. his reelection slogan has changed to "keep america great." here in the uk, the remaining five candidates vying to become britain's next prime minister clashed over brexit in a noisy tv debate. another round of voting by conservative mps will take place on wednesday to reduce the number of candidates futher. the world health organization has issued a stark warning about the global spread of measles. it says the huge amount of misinformation about vaccines shared online and on social media is damaging the fight against the disease.

it's about 2:30 a.m.. you are up—to—date on the headlines. now it's time for a look back at the day in parliament. hello and welcome to tuesday in parliament, where there are demands for more to be done to secure the rights of eu citizens in the uk if there's a no—deal brexit. 0ne mp says he's struggling to control his anger. at the charlatans and snake oil salesmen who will again tonight on television be claiming that no deal presents no difficulties. there are demands for an end to the bombing of hospitals and medical centres in syria. it is arguably a war crime and we must ensure, wherever we can, that there is no impunity for such grotesque actions. and mps express their frustration that so little progress has been made since a major report on bullying and harassment

in westminster. nothing has changed since we started the whole pestminster or even the broader metoo movement. but first: conservative mps were gearing up for the next round of voting to select the new tory leader with the possibility of that ushering in a new approach to brexit. meanwhile, in the commons there was condemnation of the continued uncertainty on eu citizens' rights. the brexit secretary has asked the eu to think again about coming up with a separate agreement in the event of no deal. back in march, stephen barclay wrote to the eu looking for some kind of arrangement on rights, but responding to that letter, the european chief negotiator michel barnier said it would be far from straightforward to identify which provisions would need to be "carved out" as part of a "ring fencing exercise". never in peacetime, never, have the rights of over one million british citizens been placed

on a negotiating table like this. and i say to the british government once again, as a responsible conservative government, the rights of our citizens, along with the rights of eu nationals, must be protected, whatever the outcome of brexit is. we remain committed to delivering on citizens' rights there, and we are focused on making sure we reach an overall agreement in order to secure an orderly exit from the eu but we remain committed to executing the will of this house and eagerly anticipate michel barnier's response to our letter on ring fencing. labour wondered why the government was only now pressing the case again, after the initial exchange of letters between stephen barclay and michel barnier in march. it's taken the question from the honourable member to bring this issue back to the floor of the house.

why have the government not reported back to the house sooner? the deep uncertainty facing the three million eu citizens in the uk and the 1.2 million brits in europe, who are by far the biggest national group affected by brexit, is a of huge importance. so why is the government not treating it with that urgency? it's been clear throughout this process that the eu has said repeatedly nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. we have challenged that, in taking up my honourable friend's call for ring fencing and we will continue to press the case for ring fencing, but i think it is a bit rich to suggest the labour party takes this more seriously than my own party, when the benches behind him are a gaping empty space. why has it taken so long to get so not far? three years since the eu referendum, the uk government has still failed to give assurances that the scottish government would've.

i welcome the assurances from the government, but both assurances have got to ring hollow if you remember the shameful complacency this government showed two weeks ago when they completely washed their hands of the fact that thousands of the same citizens were denied the basic right to vote in the european elections. mr speaker, ifind it very hard to contain my anger at the charlatans and the snake oil salesmen who will again tonight on television be claiming that no deal presents no difficulties. it might present no difficulties for them... i recognise and respect the very strong feelings on this matter, but i'm sure the right honourable gentleman, who is a former deputy leader of the house, in whom we all hold in the highest esteem, wouldn't refer to any member of this house as a charlatan. i'm sure he wouldn't do that. if he were doing so... dexterous as he is in the use of language, full vocabulary with which he is blessed, i know he will withdraw that term

and substitute another? mr speaker, i would like to make it clear i am certainly not referring to any member of the house present today in the chamber... laughter. ..as a charlatan, or a buffoon... laughter. i am afraid i detect the sight and the sound of a very large shuffle, as the right honourable gentleman is digging himself deeper. i would appeal to him, he has made his point with force and eloquence, but i would appeal to the right honourable gentleman, who is a seemingly member in normal circumstances to make it clear that he is attacking the views of members, but would not impugn the integrity. thank you, mr speaker. i am very happy to withdraw. i am not impugning their integrity. i am certainly attacking their views, which i found outrageous. we are the ones doing the divorcing here. if this is a real priority for this government, why did it take three months to reply to michel barnier's letter?

i have thousands of eu constituents in my constituency, south cambridgeshire, ijust don't see the urgency at all. might i suggest that the minister might offer to give the house an update at least monthly between now and the 30th of october so citizens can have some regard their futures will be secure? i say to the honourable lady, this is an issue we absolutely respect the urgency of, we took the version of the house up with the european union very shortly after that vote, we then had meetings with the british in europe in the three million to make sure in taking it forward, we would be accurately representing their views. now in the meantime, as i explained, we had a period for the european elections but i think it is right that my secretary of state has been at the general affairs council today pressing the issue that he sent this letter and we will continue to update this house as and where progress is made on the matter. after three years, and with only four months to go before we are due to crash out with out a deal, this is simply not good enough and this matter must be resolved and human beings can no longer be

used as bargaining chips. one mp thought it was time to get the views of the front runner in the conservative leadership contest, borisjohnson. who he should go and speak to find out what on earth he is planning to do because nobody else seems to be hearing a word from him. i'm sure my honourable friend can answer for himself, but i will certainly be making the case to whoever takes on the leadership of our party and our country, securing the rights of eu citizens in the uk citizens needs to be a tight priority. robin walker. the electoral commission is seeking powers to impose sanctions that hurt to ensure political parties check the validity of online donations. the commission has asked the brexit party to review whether money received ahead of the european elections last month is permissible. in a session with the culture committee, the commission explained why. we don't have a formal investigation at the moment open against the brexit party,

our work currently is assessment of the situation, assessing whether they have complied or not and it is right to say there's a high risk of not complying and that is why we have made a number of requirements and recommendations to make sure they do comply, and indeed if they didn't, we would escalate to more enforcement work. what is it that they don't do that they should do? the first area we looked at is around the information you gather when receiving money through paypal or other online payment providers. one of the recommendations we've been making for political parties since 2015 onwards when we first started looking at this is things like make sure if somebody is giving you money, get their address, match that to the bank account that the money is coming from so you can see the person who is claiming to be giving you the money are the same person. take me step—by—step. in those cases, are those things based on your assessment that the brexit party has not been doing? that is right.

they have not been collecting addresses or checking whether the donor is also has authorisation over the bank account? not systematically. so somebody may be hypothetically making many donations just using a different name each time, coming up at the same bank account? yes, or breaking a donation down into smaller amounts so that it is under the threshold of £500, but they need to go back and look at the payments they have received over and under £500 and they need to satisfy themselves that they are sure those amount of money are admissible and if they are not, and they need to forfeit those amounts of money. when they said they have got are a large number of people making very small donations, those could be people making large donations in lots of small form and that could be a lot of foreign money mixed in with other money but there is no real way of telling where all this money is coming from? they could be, or they could not be. the party needs to go back and work that out.

we've had the election already. and you are not satisfied that payments that were made to the brexit party before the european election were in compliance with the law. so what is the sanction if unlawful payments were made? does it affect the validity of the election? so it is important to say that although we have raised the questions, high—risk and high doubt at this stage, it could get proved to be the case they are fine. but if indeed rules have been broken, for breaches of what we term the political finance rules of political parties, there are no additional sanctions that relate to the election themselves. how would you advise us to avoid in the future the situation of a single issue organisation

emerging from a single campaign, money flooding in, both permissible and impermissible, in which there is no way of telling which is which, they then this spend the money on a successful campaign, and you guys say, you better clean up your act and they say ok, we will clean up our act. but by that time, the damage has been done. and all you can do is then issue a relatively small fine? what you want to do is empower the regulatory with the right powers and the right reach to act and act swiftly. so that is about getting information quickly, from anyone who should be providing information to the regulator. and real deterrence that can be posed quickly with fines and sanctions that do hurt appropriately to deter

and breach the rules. you're watching tuesday in parliament, with me, alicia mccarthy and don't forget you can follow me on twitter @bbcalicia. a former cabinet minister has told mps the credibility of the house of commons is at risk due to a failure to implement recommendations made by a major report on bullying and harassment. maria miller, who chairs the women and equalities committee, said progress in delivering change following dame laura cox's findings hadn't been fast enough. it is completely inaccessible that's unacceptable that progress in delivering change is so very slow. we rightly consider other organisations who fail to act when serious problems were identified, particularly when it comes to issues of bullying and harassment. and we run a serious risk of undermining the credibility of the house of commons to speak out in the future by not having acted swiftly in the wake of the full cox report finding, this has to change.

to be honest what we have is an opportunity to get something away to get the power away in order to do the right thing and i think we should do that. the day and's report was thorough and wide—ranging, and made it clear recommendations that we should absolutely be getting on with. because the people who do know that we are not getting on with them are those people who work in this building. nothing has changed. nothing has changed since we started the whole past minster and that —— pestminster or broader metoo movement, it feels as if a moment of blood—letting led to no significant material change in the actual working lives of the people we are here to try and protect. the former leader of the commons, andrea leadsom, spoke for the first

time since quitting the cabinet. she'd been closely involved in trying to tackle bullying and harassment. there are a number of complicated inquiries going on and i can well understand people saying it's all too complicated, can't get through it, but nevertheless it's hiding in the right direction, people are genuinely being given opportunities to speak out and have their say, which is so vital. throughout my time as leader, both officially through the working group and unofficially as a private member of parliament, i have heard some truly terrible stories. stories of victims being quite removed on rather than the bully being challenged in any way. young women and some cases young man, being taken advantage of on and off the estate. complaints let entirely unaddressed by those who are supposed

to be addressing them. mental health issues, suffered by those who had been subjected to bullying day in and day out for long periods of time. by senior people who should be ashamed of themselves. hong kong's leader carrie lam has apologised for an extradition bill that sparked mass protests, acknowledging it's now "unlikely" to pass. millions have taken to the streets against the proposals, which would allow extradition to mainland china. protesters have been calling for the bill to be withdrawn and for mrs lam to resign. in the commons, the speakerjohn bercow said the whole house deplored the violent way demonstrators had been treated. mps wanted to see the legislation withdrawn for good. events in recent weeks in hong kong have been horrifying, but they should not have been surprising. for years now, the people's republic of china has been a salami slicing the commitments they gave under thejoint declaration. sadly, the executive council has too often been complicit in that. but these commitments that have been

broken our commitments to which we in this country had been a part of. what out government now send the strongest possible message we will not stand by and allow that process of salami slicing to continue. we've called for suspension and further consultation and i think it's the right thing to do. i think for two fundamental reasons, first this is an honour for the hong kong people, it's unacceptable for the uk government to dictate terms as it is for the chinese government to dictate in any other part of the world. there is a rule that we stand by on the joint declaration and its terms, but ultimately it's for the hong kong people to determine this. i'm also well aware in diplomatic terms, it's important we find a way for face to be maintained it's important and is part of the world, and therefore if there is a suspension i think it'll be a desirable outcome but this is ultimately something that's a matter for hong kong.

we on this side of the house welcomed the suspension of this disastrous bill, the suspension is not enough, david bell needs to die, it's an affront to democracy and rule of law in hong kong. and a fundamental breach of the one country to the systems principle. a grovelling apology this morning and promises of greater confrontation do not change this fact. that's my right honourable friend agree that the chinese ambassador has continued to be wrong in saying the joint declaration is a document effectively passed by date, and will he ensure that you do chris a new ambassador arrives, his point is made clear to him or her? since we are free society they must be able to express views freely without fear of violence and that's the message we need to stand out from across this house. protest should never be met with violence and any resolution to the crisis must

have the protection of the rule of law at its height. that he agreed the rule of law and adhering to the rule—based system is going to be key to hong kong's future prosperity as a society but also to its economy as well? asked about democratic reform in hong kong, the minister sounded a note of caution. it's also worth pointing out we have worked closely with the chinese ambassador and i have met her a few times and she's a dedicated public servant and i think being candid, they talk about her being removed from office, be careful what one wishes for because someone else who could be pointed particularly under the existing rules could be a much more hard lined person. the foreign office minister, mark field. the uk is warning russia in "the strongest possible terms" to stop air strikes in syria. answering an urgent question in the commons a foreign office minister, andrew murrison, said... "attacks in idlib have seen aircraft bombing civilian targets like hospitals and schools

which he called a "clear breach of international law". the un has confirmed that since the end of april, at least 25 health facilities including two major hospitals and 37 school is been damaged due to air strikes in north—west syria. these attacks are a clear breach of international law. we call in the strongest possible terms on the regime and russia to seize the attacks and end the suffering of those in the ad lib government. as a response, that partners are scaling at the humanitarian response to meet the growing needs on the grounds. further escalation of violence triggering waves of displacement would likely overwhelm an already stretched humanitarian response. reports from the region tell escorts of hospitals being attacked and there are millions of people

in that area that are in desperate need of health care. so a bad situation is being made and much, much worse by our failure to enforce that basic rules of conflict. we haven't really failed to deliver against the values of this country when it comes to the victims of this conflict. so i would like to ask the minister what conversation he is having with his colleagues in government about getting more vulnerable syrians to the uk for safety and shelter? and it will he meet me and a delegation of members of parliament to discuss at that point. because mr speaker, we have failed syria. but we need not continue to fail syrians. in general, refugees are best helped close to their homes, so they can return to home that she will also be aware of the refugees we had taken from this region to the uk and i hope she will salute the local

authorities who have warmly accommodated those refugees including my own local authority. the deliberate and strategic bombing of hospitals is a war crime, the latest attacks of eliminated vital lifelines for civilians who need desperate care and that centres are not in accordance with the un as a fear of being targeted. the minister will know the foreign office is collecting evidence that those involved in atrocities and breaches of international humanitarian law. so can he can from the foreign office is seeking to identify name and shame, not only the aircraft attacking hospitals, which i mainly marked with red crosses, but also those pilots and those operating the planes. this is quite clearly a breach of international humanitarian law

and it's arguably a war crime and we must ensure wherever we can, there is no impunity for such grotesque actions. i entirely agree with my right honourable friend. the regime and its supporters statements are widely inaccurate and the targeting is as well, he will know we provide and the un provides coordinates of self sensitive sites including schools and hospitals and he will share my despair of a number of those institutions, including two major hospitals damaged in this. and i'm sure he/she has 90 is as well that those who are responsible for this will sooner or later be brought to book. andrew murrison. now to the lords where it was the turn of peers to raise the escalating tensions following the attacks on six oil tankers in the gulf of oman and the straits of hormuz. the united states has accused iran of being responsible a charge denied by tehran and sent additional troops to the middle east. the labour peer and former security

minister, admiral lord west, pressed the minister to say what was being done to protect shipping and british forces in the region. is he absolutely sure we have enough assets in place and we are approaching this in the right way so we do not have a recurrence of the disgraceful surrender of royal naval personnel in the northern gulf in 2007 to a swarm of republican guard vessels because the iranians have form on breaking rules at sea and also then lying about exactly what happened? and it does seem we should be working with the americans and other allies to look at possibly taking convoys of ships through. six have been damaged so far. when the next couple happen, if we haven't done anything, i think we will be culpable. the uk as he knows has a permanent presence in the gulf in support of international maritime security operations, we conduct routine deployments to the region, royal navy vessels are currently

deployed to the gulf region to assist international efforts to protect trade and shipping. but we are in no doubt that in seeking to de—escalate the situation as i have described, those assets need to be properly defended. may i support part of what lord west said? i think this is an extremely dangerous situation, and i condemn what has apparently been done by iran, but will my noble friend bear in mind that the country that has the greatest stake in keeping the straits of hormuz free in the gulf of oman navigable is iran itself? and although it doesn'tjustify, it is not surprising that

when america has decided that iran should not be allowed to sell one a single barrel of oil in the international market, that iran is less interested in keeping the straits of hormuz free. and will my noble friend therefore concentrate on a political, rather than a military solution to this issue? my noble friend is entirely right in everything that he has said. and that is exactly why my honourable friend, the foreign secretary, said what he did in the other place, that our efforts would be focused on a diplomatic solution and we are working actively to that end. lord howe on the continuing tensions with iran. and that's it from me for now, but do join me at the same time tomorrow for another round up of the day at westminster, including the highlights from prime minister's questions. but for now, from me, alicia mccarthy, goodbye.

hello there. we still have a lot of cloud for england and wales. further rain, some thundery downpours as well. though should be tending to move through south—east of england, across east anglia then out into the north sea. however, we could see a fresh batch of storms arriving in the south—east and east anglia late morning and into the afternoon. a bit of patchy rain for a while for lincolnshire and the midlands. but further west it should be brightening up, drying up and then some more straightforward sunshine and showers for the davis scotland and showers for the davis scotland and northern ireland. temperature is very similar to what we had on tuesday. now, those times should be moving away from the south—east corner during the evening, and then we'll keep a few showers coming in towards the north—west of the uk where pressure is that bit lower. but otherwise, with clear skies, it won't be as humid for england and wales and we will have some early sunshine stop some places will stay dry on thursday but we will have showers moving eastwards from wales in the south—west. not too many showers for northern england, a scattering of showers across northern ireland and some frequent and heavy showers in scotland. in

those temperatures again sitting at around 16— 20 celsius. —— and those temperatures.
