lam i am christian fraser live in westminster whether british prime minister is reacting to the latest delay to his brexit plans with defiance. he is about to send a letter to european leaders to request an extension as he is required to do by law but we understand he has refused sign it. the ayes to the right, 322, the noes to the left 306, so the ayes habit, the ayes habit. unlock! earlier british voted not to approve the big deal until it becomes law. outside parliament and the brexit demonstrators cheered the delay as they rallied for a second referendum. i am

they rallied for a second referendum. iam lewis they rallied for a second referendum. i am lewis vaughanjones and also this our... as a protest in barcelona continue for a sixth day, cata la n barcelona continue for a sixth day, catalan separatist demand independence talks with spain. and the first semifinal is set at the rugby world cup injapan, it is new zealand versus england after both teams have convincing wins. a very warm welcome to westminster where borisjohnson has vowed to press on undaunted with his brexit strategy after being defeated in the house of commons this afternoon. mps voted for another brexit delay which requires the british prime minister to write to the european union requesting an extension to brexit. in the last few minutes the bbc has been told that mrjohnson will write not one but two letters. the first isa not one but two letters. the first is a letter requesting that delay, as he is required to do by law. that one will go to the european council

president donald tusk but we are also told he will not sign the letter. and there will be a second letter. and there will be a second letter saying that mrjohnson believes a delay is a mistake and appealing to european leaders to persuade mps to back his deal. that letter will carry that pm ‘s signature. our political correspondentjonathan signature. our political correspondent jonathan blake is signature. our political correspondentjonathan blake is with me. we told these two letters will arrive in brussels before midnight, one will be delivered by the uk representative but does it fulfil the spirit of the law? in letter but perhaps not in spirit will certainly be the argument that many will make in response to this move by boris johnson tonight to send two letters to the eu as you say, one requesting, as he is required to do as per the benn act, forced through by mps, requesting that extension and another making it very clear to eu leaders that he does not want any further delay. and downing street is expecting a legal challenge from

various quarters perhaps to this move, but no surprise there as several of the prime minister ‘s moves and moves that the government has made in the brexit process so far have been subject to legal challenges and some of them of course and most notably the decision to prorogue parliament, that was a successful challenge overturned by the supreme court. certainly a controversial decision and among the options that we have been talking about over the last few weeks, ever sense that legislation was passed in house of commons, requiring the prime minister to us for this extension, he made it abundantly clear he did not want to do this. he had no intention of wilfully asking foran had no intention of wilfully asking for an extension to the brexit process. you will remember he said he would rather be dead in a ditch then ask the eu to extend the bag is a process, but at every turn downing street said the government would comply with the law in its eyes and according to its legal advice, it clearly believes that it has done that. but in going that extra step and sending another letter well i am

sure invite howls of outrage from various quarters here at westminster and beyond and legal challenges before too long. and some head scratching in the eu as well. the second letter that he will sign will make clear that he believes a delay will be a mistake and he will appeal a not to eu leaders to ask mps to reconsider. seniorsource a not to eu leaders to ask mps to reconsider. senior source said that what the set out in the benn act was pa rt what the set out in the benn act was part ofan what the set out in the benn act was part of an ‘s delay and everyone knows we will leave at the state it is just knows we will leave at the state it isjust a question knows we will leave at the state it is just a question of how and when. i was is just a question of how and when. iwas in is just a question of how and when. i was in brussels on thursday and i know there are some governments who feel very squeamish about accepting a request from parliament. yeah. i think the prime minister's move to ta ke think the prime minister's move to take this as a parliament's quest are not his for extension plays into that. because the eu and certainly the european council which is the pa rt the european council which is the part of the eu made up by the heads of state of all 28 member states, heads of government, operates on that basis, that they do business and deals between themselves and

they do not take orders necessarily and instructions from parliaments of all the different member states. if thatis all the different member states. if that is the view among some member states clearly some in brussels, it will be one in which downing street is quite happy with. nevertheless, borisjohnson has said that letter in his name, even he has not signed it tonight, asking for that extension and it will be for the eu 27 member states to decide how they respond to it. stay with us, jonathan, it has been an eventful day here in westminster and let us talk about the events across the road in house of commons and as we have been discussing, the prime minister ‘s difficulties there started when mps voted for an amendment this afternoon which was tabled by sir oliver letwin. the margin was not but crucially the amendment withheld the approval of the deal until the legislation to implement it is in place. here is the moment that the vote was announced. the ayes to the right, 322. the noes to the left, 306.

cheering and applause. thank you. the ayes to the right, 322. the noes to the left, 306. so the ayes habit, the ayes habit. following that defeat, the prime minister said he remained confident that his brexit deal would get through parliament by the end of october. he said he would bring his brexit deal before parliament next week. bring his brexit deal before parliament next weeklj bring his brexit deal before parliament next week. i continued in a very strong belief that the best thing for the uk and for the whole of europe is for us to leave with this new deal on october the 315t! and to anticipate the questions that are coming from the benches opposite, i will not negotiate a delay with the eu. and neither... and neither does the law compelled

me to do so. i will tell our friends and colleagues in the eu exactly what i have told everyone in the la st 88 what i have told everyone in the last 88 days that i have served as pie minister, that further delay will be bad for this country, bad for our european union and bad for democracy! the prime minister responding to the vote today. jeremy corbyn said that parliament had spoken and boris johnson corbyn said that parliament had spoken and borisjohnson would be wise to listen. i welcome today 's vote. it is an emphatic decision by house that has declined to back the prime minister ‘s deal today and clearly voted to stop a no deal crash out from the european union. the prime minister must now comply with the law. he can no longer use the threat of a no deal blackout to blackmail members to support his sell—out deal. labour is not prepared to sell out the communities that we represent, we are not prepared to sell out their future...

and we believe that ultimately people must have the final say on brexit, which actually only the labour party is offering. jeremy corbyn there in the house earlier. must comply with the law. jonathan blake is with me and i think we can probably expect another court case on monday because this is already before the court of session in scotland. yes, that decision as to whether the prime minister's actions comply with the law is already under consideration by the court of session in edinburgh and it is the firm expectation and downing street that this move tonight to send two letters a nd that this move tonight to send two letters and an accompanying note to brussels will be met with a legal challenge. it is we understand downing street ‘s legal guidance that the prime minister does not have to sign the letter formally requesting the extension, which he has been required to do by their benn act force through parliament by mps, buti benn act force through parliament by mps, but i think the big question will be around whether his move to

send another letter saying that under no circumstances does he want an extension to brexit, directly contradicting the one that was written for him by mps, effectively, whether that move puts in contravention of the law. i think we can expect legal challenges before very long at all. that is one key question and another key question, the response from eu leaders and they seem to be willing to take their time on this. do not expect a swift decision from the eu on that front. jonathan, thank you. those letters are on their way and they will be delivered by tim barrow, the uk ‘s representative in brussels. you're watching a bbc news special. the ayes to the right, 322. the noes to the left, 306.

the vote means that all brexit laws must be passed before mps give approval to the deal, but the prime minister says he still intends to leave on time. i will not negotiate a delay with the eu. and neither... and neither does the law compel me to do so. the prime minister must now comply with the law. he can no longer use the threat of a no deal crash out to blackmail members to support his sell out deal. a letter requesting another delay is on its way to the eu tonight, in line with the law, and despite the prime minister's deep misgivings. as mps debated in parliament, thousands of demonstrators marched through central london, calling for a referendum on any brexit deal. and away from the political clashes, we'll be speaking to voters in birmingham, to find out what they made of today's developments.

and our other main story tonight. oh, the run in for watson, and england on the way to yokohama. england are through to the semi finals of the rugby world cup — ireland, though, are out. good evening from westminster, where for the first time in nearly a0 years, the house of commons has been sitting on a saturday, in the midst of the political crisis which surrounds the brexit process. this was expected to be the day that mps delivered their verdict on the new deal agreed by borisjohnson, but earlier this afternoon the house of commons voted to delay its decision. as a result, the prime minister

is writing to the eu tonight, as required by law, asking for another brexit extension. he said he was not daunted, and still planned to take the uk out of the eu by the end of the month. we start tonight with our political editor laura kuenssberg, on the day mps backed another delay to the brexit process. before it was official, the moves in the middle, then the cheers on the right... order! ..showed borisjohnson was thwarted. the ayes to the right, 322. the noes to the left, 306. by a margin of 16, mps said not never to his deal, but not today, not yet. so the ayes have it. the ayes have it. unlock! he is now obliged by law to ask the eu for a delay, but he'll kick and scream.

i will tell our friends and colleagues in the eu exactly what i have told everyone in the last 88 days that i have served as prime minister, that further delay would be bad for this country, bad for our european union, and bad for democracy. warnings of big trouble, though, if he wants to frustrate the law. today is an historic day for parliament, because it said it will not be blackmailed by a prime minister who is apparently prepared once again to defy a law passed by this parliament. any failure of a mp who thinks she above the law, well, prime minister you will find yourself in court. that letter will arrive tonight addressed to donald tusk it will say iam addressed to donald tusk it will say i am writing to inform the european council, that the united kingdom is

seeking a further extension. the uk proposes this period should end at iipm proposes this period should end at 11pm on 31st january. proposes this period should end at 11pm on 3istjanuary. 2020. but number ten is tonight bound to enrage their critic, because the prime minister will not sign that letter, and he will send a second alongside, maintaining his argument that a delay would be a mistake, and should be avoided at all costs. from early this morning, this was a lwa ys from early this morning, this was always going to be a huge and fraught 21! hours. not a queue for a saturday match but for parliament. would mps not a queue for a saturday match but for parliament. would mstust not a queue for a saturday match but for parliament. would mps just rush head long into more confusion? the tensions torn by the referendum in place view. but many of them agonising. genuinely, wondering what the best thing to do. even stretching family ties. for the prime minister, though, only one aim. to try to force this to a

conclusion, any way he could. statement, the prime minister. mr speaker... today this house has a historic opportunity to show the same breadth of vision as our european neighbour, the sail resolve to reach beyond past disagreements by getting brexit done. decrying attempts by mps to post pope saying yes or no legally to the deal, until all the laws that go along with it our passed too.l further delay is pointless, expensive, and deeply corrosive of public trust. labour resistant not just to deal... this government cannot be trusted and these benches will not be duped. but denying boris johnson any chance to move forward. labour is not prepared to sell out the communities that we represent.

and we will not back this sell out deal. just as the former prime ministerfound deal. just as the former prime minister found though, there deal. just as the former prime ministerfound though, there is a range of opposition parties who will rage against brexit. a deal that would see scotland shafted by this united kingdom government. today, hundreds of thousands of people will be outside demanding a final say in a people's vote. how could plaid cymru ever support his billionaires' brexit? this deal takes a wrecking ball to our social standards. brexit? this deal takes a wrecking ball to our social standards! brexit? this deal takes a wrecking ball to our social standards. a and without his northern irish allies in board he couldn't be sure of the numbers. this will do a great deal of damage to the union. look though, who is coming to help. with a joke? i have a distinct sense of deja vu. and a rebuke to those who voted

against her, now planning to do the same to boris johnson. remember, though, once upon a time, that included him. when this house voted overwhelmingly to give the choice of our membership of the eu to british people, did we really m ea n of the eu to british people, did we really mean it? i think there can only be one answer to that and that is yes, we did mean it, because if this parliament did not mean it, thenit this parliament did not mean it, then it is guilty of the most agree just con trick on the british people. but as a sprinkling of labour mps who want this done. we will be forced even if a deal is approved to seek an extension to the 31st january: under lying the sponsors had only one motivation and that was to delay brexit and stop it. but it is not over, not yet. 306. crowds who want another referendum are delighted, at the the delay gives them a new chance to stop

brexit, but frustration and nerves on the other side. we have been clear it has to be brexit for the whole of the united kingdom, northern ireland can't be left behind. they have had enough. they wa nt behind. they have had enough. they want us to get this done, and i am astonished by the an their is beginning to boil up. get it done. so they are turning they attention on parliament. they want it to be the beginning of the end, a conclusion. but look at this. mps and minister, protected by the police from protesters on their way out. nothing going on. there is nothing final about what has happened today. animosity still all round. we are tonight not one letter sent but two. and a covering note, so in fact the governments has sent three different documents to brussels, one of them an official copy of what was in the

benn act, that act that went through parliament that will say that the uk is requesting an extension another delay to brexit, but the prime minister is already tonight enraging critics buzz haye has refused to sign that letter, they have sent a photocopy and e—mail to donald tusk, alongside a covering note from tim barrow explaining they are sending a copy from the act and with that a second letter, a political message from borisjohnson to the eu, maintaining his argument that a delay would be a mistake and asking them to ask parliament to reconsider their decision and get on with it. you can hear it is controversial. their decision and get on with it. you can hear it is controversiallj amend you can hear it is controversial.” amend wondering what you think laura, this means for next week's events ? laura, this means for next week's events? it think it means it will be extremely messy, notjust because there will be a fight raging about there will be a fight raging about the letters and whether boris johnson is trying to circumvent the law there is already a court case

due on monday in edinburgh, looking at these issues and i think this is heading straight for the court. it may quickly end up in the supreme court round the corner which made such a momentous decision, but from a political point of view, this window there is now, gives boris johnson's opponents, what they see asa johnson's opponents, what they see as a chance to cause as much trouble as a chance to cause as much trouble as they can, to try and try to maybe get that second referendum, some of them so desire, orjust to try to slam the brakes on the prime minister's project, but for number ten, they will keep trying, they will try another vote on monday and maybe another one on tuesday, the difficulty for them is this process is getting more and more tangled up. because of that we have said it before, before too long this will probably be resolved by a general election. kuhn with her later analysis. -- laura kuhn with her later analysis. —— laura kuenssberg.

so to recap, the parliamentary vote on the prime minister's brexit deal, which we'd been expecting today, might now take place early next week. it's yet another complication for borisjohnson and the government to tackle, as they try to introduce all the legislation necessary to make brexit happen. our political correspondent ben wright has been looking at what might happen in the days and months ahead. ministers never tire of saying it's time to get brexit done, but leaving the eu was always going to be a hugely complex and time consuming process, and it is farfrom being over. this is how the next few days and even years might unfold. borisjohnson and the eu have agreed a new withdrawal agreement — the terms of divorce. the prime minister wanted mps to approve it in principle today, but they haven't. and so, after this setback for the government, it needs to change tack again. next week ministers will publish the withdrawal agreement bill — that is the legislation which puts the deal into law. expect an early battle over its timetabling, as well as its content. there will be many votes over many days, and the government may even ask mps to back the brexit deal

in principle again, as soon as monday. the government still wants the bill to be law by october 31st and for the uk to leave the eu then, but after today all that could slip. let's look even further ahead. a whole new phase of brexit will begin, if and when the uk leaves the eu with a deal. a transition period, during which little actually changes. this is the time both sides are meant to hammer out theirfuture relationship — on trade, security, and more. ministers will set out the negotiating aims to parliament, and then the talking with brussels begins again. this transition period will last until the end of december 2020, but could be extended for another two years, if both sides agree. some tory mps hate that idea, and today borisjohnson said he wouldn't want that either, but complex trade deals can take several years to negotiate. the deal mps are arguing

about now sets out how the uk leaves the european union, but explains relatively little about what comes next. that will be the focus of wrangling and negotiation for a long time yet. that was ben wright with his analysis of what lies ahead. while mps were debating inside the chamber of the commons, thousands of demonstrators were outside, packing the streets of central london, calling for a public vote on any deal that's agreed. the protest, organised by the people's vote campaign, converged on parliament square, as our home editor mark easton reports. # and you'll never walk alone... it had been billed as a march to give confident voice to those who want the brexit debate put back to the people. but as they set out, the mood was more resolute, anxious, even pessimistic. i think it's too late. yeah, i think it is a bit too late. but we're just here to... try to give it a go.

yeah. the argument could be decided before you get to parliament square. it could, it could. i know it could. we all know that. it's in the back of our minds, but we are going to still keep marching and saying what we believe in. the organisers claim a million people snaked their way from marble arch, that symbol of british triumph against the continental might of napoleon, past wellington's home at hyde park corner, past nelson, on his column, in trafalgar square. the architecture of the nation's capital, reflecting historical tensions with european neighbours. a significant part of the country mayjust want to get a deal done, get onto the next stage of the brexit process. but these are the faces of people who are saying not in my name, not yet, or not at all. details of every growl and groan from the debate inside the house of commons rippled through the crowds outside as they headed towards parliament. stop brexit now!

this long—planned event provided a noisy soundtrack to attempts by government to bring the brexit argument to an end before the march reached its destination. pictures from inside the palace of westminster were relayed to the vast crowd watching outside, and then the moment when it was clear there would be no brexit deal today. applause the news from parliament is greeted less with rejoicing, i think, and more with relief. the long march that they hope leads from one people's vote to another people's vote, well, that can go on. it's not a defeat. we're still in the fight. at least it gives us hope that something can be slowed down. slowed down? the slower it goes, the better. it means the agony continues, though, doesn't it? i know, yes, that's boring. but that's the position that he's put us in, so... but what will the final destination look like? for people on all sides of the argument, that remains frustratingly unclear. mark easton, bbc news, westminster.

a set of documents has been sent to brussels, to the european union. our europe editor katya adler is in brussels. katya, what's the reaction there? ican i can confirm that the letters have arrived here in brussels. let us look at a tweet from donald tusk, the president of the european council. he is the man who represents all eu leaders here in brussels, he says he has received the letters from boris johnson brussels, he says he has received the letters from borisjohnson and he will now be able to start consulting eu leaders, as to the what next. i can tell you huw, that here in the eu, there is zero appetite to drag out the brexit process a ny appetite to drag out the brexit process any further at all. in fact we heard from macron, the french president saying he didn't think an extension was in anybody‘s interest. the fact the prime minister has sent a letter expressing gain his opposition to an extension, that will help eu leaders drag their feet

a little bit. first and foremost they will look to the prime minister, to make good on his promise to them, just two days ago, here in brussels, that their newly negotiated brexit deal would definitely pass through parliament. and time, relatively speaking, is on borisjohnson and time, relatively speaking, is on boris johnson and the and time, relatively speaking, is on borisjohnson and the eu's side. because the brexit deadline is not today, it is at the end of the month, under eu law, and eu leaders wa nt to month, under eu law, and eu leaders want to keep the pressure on mps, they want to help focus their minds before they say yes you have got a lot of time. in fact if they wanted to eu leaders could hold their emergency brexit summit to decide a new extension on the morning of 31st october. but all of that said, huw, if push comes to shove and time is running out, and no—deal looks like the only option, after two prime ministers, two brexit deal, cannot see eu leaders at this point closing the door in the uk's face. i think they are then, at that point likely to

grant another extension but probably as short as possible and they will wa nt to as short as possible and they will want to know what it is for. is it to pass final legislation, to hold a second referendum, a general election or even a referendum on their newly signed off brexit deal? thank you. katya adler for us, their newly signed off brexit deal? thank you. katya adlerfor us, our europe editor in brussels. katya adler for us, our europe editor in brussels. that's all from westminster for the moment, we'll have an update at the end of the programme, and we'll find out what some voters made of today's events. but now, let'sjoin kate for the day's other news. thanks huw. england are into the semi—finals of the rugby world cup after beating australia 40—16 injapan. they'll play new zealand — who had a comfortable win against ireland in their quarterfinal in tokyo. andy swiss watched that one, but first our sports editor dan roan with england. their world cup's ta ken time to gather pace, but here in oita a defining moment for england had arrived. one of rugby's great rivalries, about to resume. england had beaten australia six

times in a row, but this was the one that really mattered, and jonny may gave his side the perfect start. they weren't finished there. the recalled henry slade with the interception. he may not have had the pace, but he certainly had the vision, finding may for his second try injust three minutes. captain owen farrell back in form again to extend his side's lead. thanks to the kicking of christian lealiifano, australia were still in contention, however, and straight after the break, marika koroibete's blistering pace reduced the deficit tojust a point. but england's threat came from all positions. the power of prop kyle sinclair proving unstoppable, as they reasserted control. thanks to some magnificent defence and farrell's boot, they never looked like relinquishing it. anthony watson's rate interception try sealing a hard—fought, but ultimately convincing victory. england through, then, to first semifinal for 12 years, and by a scoreline that will make their rivals sit up and take notice.

if england wanted to put down a real marker at this world cup, well, they've just done it. that was one of their great wins, certainly the most important of coach eddiejones‘ tenure. the rfu had set him a minimum target of reaching the last four. now his team have achieved that in such a fashion they'll believe they can go all the way. dan roan, bbc news, oita. for ireland, it was time to face rugby‘s ultimate challenge. new zealand are the champions, for many the favourites, and this was a night when they showed exactly why. as ireland's hopes were dazzlingly destroyed. two early tries for aaron smith, and by the time beauden barrett raced clear, his team are also out of sight. 22—0 at the break. game surely over. after that it was damage limitation for ireland, and while robbie henshaw finally broke their duck, it was suitably the all blacks, and beauden's

brotherjordie barrett that had the final say. they'll take some final stopping. for ireland, it's the end of an era. the final games for coach joe schmidt and skipper rory best, hardly the exits they'd have wanted. look, the all blacks were fantastic tonight. look, i've loved every minute of it. my team—mates, the coaching staff, and probably in particularjoe as well who is moving on. i think he brought irish rugby and probably my game in particular to a different level when he came here. so once again ireland head home at the quarterfinals. remember, they came into this tournament as the world number ones, but their hopes have ended in more disappointment. andy swiss, bbc news, tokyo. the football association says it's deeply concerned about reports of racism, which today caused an fa cup qualifying match to be abandoned. non—league haringey borough stopped playing amid allegations that team

members were being abused during the game against yeovil town. there were also claims of bottle throwing and spitting, with the london club describing the afternoon at their ground as "horrendous". now it's back to huw in westminster for the latest on the brexit debate. here at westminster, we were expecting mps to have their say on the deal boris johnson struck in brussels a few days ago. instead, they voted to delay their decision until the necessary legislation has been passed. it means borisjohnson has written to brussels, tonight, asking for an extension to the brexit process. there could be another parliamentary vote on the deal on monday. so what do people beyond westminster make of it all? our political correspondent alex forsyth has spent the day with voters in birmingham.

at moseley rugby club this morning, people were certainly poised for a big result. the country on tenterhooks, many hoping for a decisive outcome. but while the sport was settled, the wrangling in westminster goes on. as does, for some, the frustration. it's not about whether we're going to leave or not. it's shall we have a deal that they won't vote for, therefore we'll have no brexit, but it's not our fault, therefore we'll have to have an election, and then they'll say, well, you didn't back us up, so you shouldn't vote for them. it's childish politics, and they‘ re playing with people's economic futures. in birmingham city centre, despite diwali celebrations, there was a weariness at the brexit state of play. just seems that itjust keeps going round and round without getting anywhere. the economy is stagnant, because of brexit. because of the delay. that view is just what boris johnson had hoped might convince mps to back his deal, the desire among some to get it done. come on, mosley! back at the rugby club, there's support for that stance from those angry at mps' actions today.

i think it's outrageous. they're just cocking a hoop at us, basically, saying, no, we' re not interested in what you think, we're going to do what we want to do. i think it's an absolute joke. they're just holding it up. itjust needs to be sorted. and if they want to go to a general election, go to a general election. my view is that parliament's lost it. parliament doesn't represent the people any more. parliament has an agenda. faced with further delay, it seems borisjohnson is being defiant, trying to put himself on the side of the people who are frustrated that this process hasn't yet been resolved. the problem with that strategy is that some people think parliament has done the right thing. i think it needs a delay to give more time for the deal to be scrutinised. because it's all a bit last minute and rushed. so, i think it's probably a good thing. i think we had a better deal with theresa may. and this one is worse. i'm a remaineranyway. boris johnson is starting to get his comeuppance. so, with westminster set for a rematch, the public

view remains divided, in what seems to many like a political game, albeit with crucial consequences. alex forsyth, bbc news, birmingham. some of the voices there in birmingham today, and that is it from westminster. on the day that mps insisted on a further delay in the brexit process, but boris johnson insisting he is still intending brexit to happen on 31st october. so from all of the bbc team at westminster, thanks for watching and good night. good evening. many of us have been playing the weather lottery today. some have seen blue skies and sunshine, some isolated showers like this weather watcher pictures sent in from london but for others it has been grey, wet and dismal. on the scottish borders we have some flood alerts out due to the intensity of the rainfall that has been

stubbornly sitting across the scottish borders for much of the day and north—east england. scattered showers further west, some have moved inland as we have gone through the afternoon. behind that weather front, these strong winds driving showers overnight but that weather front weakens and eases through into the north sea. they are a skies overnight. light winds and temperatures in sheltered rural parts of scotland and south—east england. we may see temperatures as low for a touch of frost. there may be mist and fog around first thing. tomorrow, a quiet day. the remnants of that whether front not producing much in the way of rain but more with cloud. a northerly wind will drive ina with cloud. a northerly wind will drive in a few showers opposed to the coast but it will be a drier day in comparison to today and certainly in comparison to today and certainly in comparison to today and certainly in comparison to the last couple of days. 9—14d is the high. we promised this area of high pressure building

in from the atlantic at the start of the new working week. it is there but there is this level of uncertainty as to whether we will see some rain in the south—east corner on monday. we will have to keep a close eye on that that for the bulk of the country, it will be a dry and settled start to the new working week with some sunny spells coming through. temperatures at nine to 14 coming through. temperatures at nine to 11! degrees the hive. it looks like that settled theme will continue tuesday and so wednesday. high—pressure drifting slowly southwards and allowing this weather front to topple across the top of that high. we see rain in the far north—east of scotland and went strengthening here. elsewhere on tuesday, a dry and settled story after a chilly start and with a south—westerly flow, temperatures recover with highs of ii to 15 degrees. monday into tuesday means a good deal of dry weather in the forecast. enjoy your weekend.

hello. this is bbc news with chris rogers. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. mps have voted to delay their brexit verdict, forcing boris johnson to ask for another delay. the vote means that all brexit laws must be passed, the ayes to the right, 322. the noes to the left, 306. the ayes have it, the ayes have it. the vote means that all brexit laws must be passed, before mps give approval to the deal, but the prime minister says he still intends to leave on time. i will not negotiate a delay with the eu. and neither does the law

compel me to do so. the prime minister must now comply with the law. he can no longer use the threat ofa no law. he can no longer use the threat of a no deal crashed out to blackmail members to support his sell—out deal. a letter requesting another delay has been sent to the eu, the prime minister has chosen not to sign it. the european council president donald tusk says he has received the letter and will now start consulting eu leaders leaders on how to react. as mps debated in parliament, thousands of demonstrators marched through central london, calling for a referendum on any brexit deal. another interesting day in westminster and that's on a

saturday!
