people watching this might agree with, said, it is our duty to end this nightmare and provide the country with a solution as soon as we reasonably can. that is exactly right, and that solution would be to get the deal done on the table, in front of the british people, let them decide in or out, and then have a general election. that is the clearest, cleanest way of doing it. if we have a brexit, incidentally, they will be endless years and years of negotiation from a position of weakness. we will be arguing with countries we previously negotiated with in the eu, getting worse and worse deals, getting poorer and poorer. that is not what people want. they don't want to rush forward to poverty. they want to final say, and we should give it to them. thanks very much for your time, geraint davies. let's get more reaction from a gci’oss let's get more reaction from a across the house of commons. anna soubry, now leader of the independent group for change, gave her view. he is playing silly beggars with the future of our

country. there is no way i will support this. he brought the bill in. it passed at second reading. he had a ridiculous and irresponsible timetable. he could have gone away and ina timetable. he could have gone away and in a proper deal with the opposition chief whip so we properly scrutinise it. this is the most important piece of legislation, i think, in generations, with huge implications for generations to come. he can still do that, in what you don't do is dissolve parliament at the same time you are trying to consider this incredibly important piece of legislation, at the same time you are running a campaign for a general election, crashing into christmas. he is playing silly games with our country, and it is not acceptable. what we now need to do is get the bill back, let's have the proper amendments tabled, the proper scrutiny. we can truncate it. how long do you think you would need?” think it is a couple of weeks, but it has to go in the lords as well. these things have to be done. we we re these things have to be done. we were all prepared to sit tomorrow, saturday, sunday, into next week,

again another weekend. we are prepared to sit late to do it properly. you know my solution to this crisis. it is not a general election. it won't solve anything. the only way to solve the crisis is to have that confirmatory referendum. and there is a majority in the house of commons for that confirmatory referendum. are you sure about that? everything else hasn't fallen. lots of people said there are not the numbers for a referendum. with respect, i sit and talk to people who are my fellow collea g u es talk to people who are my fellow colleagues in the house of commons, andi colleagues in the house of commons, and i know that in the event, because this is truly a dreadful deal, there are a lot of people really unhappy, not just deal, there are a lot of people really unhappy, notjust the dup. it isa really unhappy, notjust the dup. it is a dreadful deal. but if it falls, then there are a number of people who at that moment would say, right, the only way forward now is to get it back for that confirmatory referendum, because they know that a general election won't solve anything. if you look at the polls,

we are more likely to get another hung parliament. a general election, the clue is in the title. general election. it will not solve brexit. anna soubry speaking a little bit earlier. other news now. the family of harry dunn says they will take legal action against the foreign office over the way the government handled the death of their son. the family's spokesman, radd seiger, said mr dunn's parents — tim dunn and charlotte charles — have also referred northamptonshire police to the independent office for police conduct over the investigation into the crash that killed their 19—year—old son. i'm joined now by the family lawyer radd seiger. thank you very much for being with us. thank you very much for being with us. tell us first about this action against the foreign office you are taking. yes, we spent two or three hours today with geoffrey robinson qc, and mark stephens, the family lawyers, and we have been through everything with a fine tooth comb. we are very clear that the foreign office's decision to advise northamptonshire police that this lady, mrs sacoolas,

had diplomatic immunity, was not only wrong but also unlawful. so our first step is to issue something called a letter of claim, a prior step tojudicial review, called a letter of claim, a prior step to judicial review, and we will ask the court to quash that decision. we will ask them to say she never had immunity. if the foreign office where here, i'm sure they would say they were doing their best in this case. i'm of course. they have said right from the start that she had immunity, but it then lapsed when she left the country. we say she never had it, and it is going to have to be decided by a court. and she never had it because her husband was not a diplomat in the conventional sense? we have been very clear about that right from the start. we have been a bit puzzled why governments on both sides have claimed she did have immunity. when you are also unhappy with the way the police have handled that. explain what you feel about that. explain what you feel about that. there are a number of things they family are concerned about.

firstly, the manner in which the investigation was conducted. we don't have all the information and documents that the family are entitled to under what is called the victim's code. they are entitled to be supported and kept regularly up—to—date throughout the case, so we are still a bit patchy with what northamptonshire police have done, but we have had an opportunity to fa ct but we have had an opportunity to fact check things this week, given dominic rav‘s statement in the house of commons on monday night, the chief constable's press conference on tuesday. —— raab. we have very serious concerns about accuracies and timelines. so there are two aspects to that, the way it was investigated in the way the family we re investigated in the way the family were treated by the police. meanwhile, and is a cooler in the united states. is there any prospect of her coming back to the uk? —— and sacoolas. well, we take it a day at a time. we are absolutely clear that you cannot go to a country, and up albeit accidentally taking the life of somebody and then skip the

country. we know that, you know that, and we are clear. we are reissuing our appealfor that, and we are clear. we are reissuing our appeal for her to that, and we are clear. we are reissuing our appealfor her to come back. she has admitted her culpability. she is therefore guilty ofa culpability. she is therefore guilty of a very serious crime. she is a fugitive on the run and she should be here to face the music. but the police are going to the united states to talk to her, aren't they? well, we say very clearly that that isa well, we say very clearly that that is a totally inappropriate use of my money and your money, taxpayers' money. we were told on tuesday that mrs sacoolas wants to show the world how devastated she is. that is not an appropriate use of police time, and if she wants to communicate that with the world, there are plenty of chat shows on both sides of the atla ntic chat shows on both sides of the atlantic she could go on, and if the police do want to speak to her, we have things such as skype and facetime and telephones. good to speak to you. thank you very much for coming in. the lawyerfor harry dunn's family. much more coming up at the top of the hour, but now time for a look at the hour, but now time for a look at the latest weather forecast with chris.

you're watching beyond one hundred days. boris johnson says he'll give mps more time to debate his brexit deal— but only if they let him have an election two weeks before christmas. the opposition labour party say they will vote for the election "once no—deal is ruled out and if an extension allows". borisjohnson says he will put down the motion on monday. under current rules, he needs two thirds of all mp‘s to back it. it is time that the opposition summed up the nerve to submit themselves to the judgment of our collective boss, the people of the uk. police investigating the deaths of 39 chinese nationals found in a trailer in essex are given more time to question
