of syntax or other weapons supplied by libya. there are many, many great difficulties with trying to get a satisfactory solution. it's proved extremely difficult to draw the right net to decide exactly who might be eligible for these funds, and there's a great deal of controversy surrounding that. it's also extremely difficult to find a way given the current precarious situation in libya of extracting the funds. i can seejeremy, my successor, will know very well that libya, will know very well that libya, will know very well that libya is basically a totally divided

state at the moment. there are some faint signs of progress, but until we have a government that we can really work within libya, it's difficult to make progress on unfreezing assets when the other you describe. william shawcross�*s work is by no means — is valuable, i think it's very important, particularly forfamilies in particularly for families in northern ireland, particularly forfamilies in northern ireland, but i'm afraid we are some way off having the result that we might hope for. and i must be honest with you, it will be very, very tough to get any kind of equitable solution out of this disaster. other countries many years ago, particularly the us, were able to get compensation for the victims of libyan terrorism the way british citizens did not. it's proving extremely difficult.-

potatoes, and there's number of sanitary issues about the issue of seed potatoes to the eu. but we are solving that, the issue of seed potatoes is very small. from the uk to the eu, i think we export as many to the eu, i think we export as many to the eu, i think we export as many to the whole of the eu as we export to the whole of the eu as we export to egypt in terms of seed potatoes. there's the question of pet passports, but we have, i believe, a way of solving that because there's the chilled meets issue that i've already referred to, and 1—2 others. they are by and large small, soluble questions which one by one we are addressing. in the chancellor, the duchy of lancaster has done an incredible job duchy of lancaster has done an incrediblejob in duchy of lancaster has done an incredible job in addressing them and building that confidence in

trade, from northern ireland to great britain. it's a light touch, as far as we have to do and he checks at all, and it is working well. the key point is that, if there are further problems, or if there are further problems, or if the eu or our partners insist on an interpretation of the protocol that we think is unfair or unnecessary, that article 16 of course exists to address that. and the whole thing falls away unless the people of northern ireland actually vote to continue with the arrangements. 50 i see, in the meantime, northern ireland is part of the uk customs territory, does free trade deals with us around the world, and there is unfettered access for nia goods to gb and... and we are working out

to gb and... and we are working out to reduce them the whole time. i believe that businesses, both north and south of the border of ireland, but also east and west should be confidence in the future. northern ireland has a massive opportunity to exploit the advantages it has sucking thank you very much. if i may finish my call by saying there are obviously _ may finish my call by saying there are obviously some _ may finish my call by saying there are obviously some challenges, . may finish my call by saying there are obviously some challenges, the chancellor, — are obviously some challenges, the chancellor, the _ are obviously some challenges, the chancellor, the duchy— are obviously some challenges, the chancellor, the duchy of _ are obviously some challenges, the chancellor, the duchy of lancasteri chancellor, the duchy of lancaster made _ chancellor, the duchy of lancaster made that — chancellor, the duchy of lancaster made that clear _ chancellor, the duchy of lancaster made that clear this _ chancellor, the duchy of lancaster made that clear this morning. - chancellor, the duchy of lancaster. made that clear this morning. you've said it _ made that clear this morning. you've said it during— made that clear this morning. you've said it during questions, _ made that clear this morning. you've said it during questions, you - made that clear this morning. you've said it during questions, you said - said it during questions, you said it during — said it during questions, you said it during there. _ said it during questions, you said it during there, and _ said it during questions, you said it during there, and i— said it during questions, you said it during there, and i don't- said it during questions, you said it during there, and i don't think| said it during questions, you said| it during there, and i don't think i have _ it during there, and i don't think i have anything _ it during there, and i don't think i have anything further— it during there, and i don't think i have anything further to - it during there, and i don't think i have anything further to add - it during there, and i don't think i have anything further to add at i it during there, and i don't think i i have anything further to add at this stage. _ have anything further to add at this stage. as _ have anything further to add at this stage. as we — have anything further to add at this stage. as we are _ have anything further to add at this stage, as we are running _ have anything further to add at this stage, as we are running short - have anything further to add at this stage, as we are running short on i stage, as we are running short on time _ stage, as we are running short on time i_ stage, as we are running short on time ithink— stage, as we are running short on time. unnum— stage, as we are running short on time. i think the chairman- stage, as we are running short on time. i think the chairman will. stage, as we are running short on time. i think the chairman will be| time. i think the chairman will be probably— time. i think the chairman will be probably quite _ time. i think the chairman will be probably quite late _ time. i think the chairman will be probably quite late if _ time. i think the chairman will be probably quite late if we - time. i think the chairman will be probably quite late if we could i time. i think the chairman will be i probably quite late if we could move on to _ probably quite late if we could move on to the _ probably quite late if we could move on to the next— probably quite late if we could move on to the next person. _ probably quite late if we could move on to the next person.— on to the next person. thank you, i ave a on to the next person. thank you, i gave a long — on to the next person. thank you, i gave a long answer _ on to the next person. thank you, i gave a long answer about _ on to the next person. thank you, i gave a long answer about seed - gave a long answer about seed potatoes. there are a few other issues that we will fix. hopefully the can issues that we will fix. hopefully they can be _ issues that we will fix. hopefully they can be fixed _ issues that we will fix. hopefully they can be fixed through - issues that we will fix. hopefully they can be fixed through the . issues that we will fix. hopefully i

getting to net zero by 2050, the number one objective of cop and getting the world to agree to that, we have the opportunity to turbo—charge our economy at the same time, and to drivejobs of all kinds. but there's a second thing, and that's biodiversity. it is an absolute tragedy today that we are massacring the species of our planet, we've lost about 500 in the last century, and we are losing them at an unconscionable rate. we are losing habitat where human beings are engulfing and destroying the natural world. we won't get the climate in balance again, we won't solve climate change until we address our relationship with the natural world. so i want the second

big thing, in addition to net zero by 2050 and getting as many countries — that's a big goal, and since we last spoke before this committee, a lot of countries that we thought would be difficult have been coming forward with commitments to net zero. so we are all already seeing, darren, even before the year has scarcely begun, an enormous amount of progress. but secondly, i want to see biodiversity and the world committee, in the way that we did at kyoto, we want to give meaning to that now, we want countries to commit solidly and formally to stopping the destruction of animal, wildlife and habitat and forests the way they are.

get as many countries as possible to share in that. and even before cop has began, we are starting to see progress in that direction.- progress in that direction. thank ou, mr progress in that direction. thank you. mrjones- _ progress in that direction. thank you, mrjones. is— progress in that direction. thank you, mrjones. is there - progress in that direction. thank you, mrjones. is there a - progress in that direction. thank. you, mrjones. is there a possible you, mrjones. is there a possible you, mrjones. is there a possible you will have a nonfossil fuel treaty —— possibility? you will have a nonfossil fuel treaty -- possibility?- you will have a nonfossil fuel treaty -- possibility? with the k oto treaty -- possibility? with the kyoto protocol— treaty -- possibility? with the kyoto protocol was _ treaty -- possibility? with the kyoto protocol was intended l treaty -- possibility? with the | kyoto protocol was intended to reduce fossil fuel outcome. that's the whole point of it, the paris agreement of 2015 — that's what we're trying to do. agreement of 2015 - that's what we're trying to do.— agreement of 2015 - that's what we're trying to do. back to philip dunn? thank _ we're trying to do. back to philip dunn? thank you, _ we're trying to do. back to philip dunn? thank you, prime - we're trying to do. back to philip i dunn? thank you, prime minister, we're trying to do. back to philip - dunn? thank you, prime minister, i'm interested in — dunn? thank you, prime minister, i'm interested in what _ dunn? thank you, prime minister, i'm interested in what you _ dunn? thank you, prime minister, i'm interested in what you are _ dunn? thank you, prime minister, i'm interested in what you are saying - interested in what you are saying about _ interested in what you are saying about biodiversity. _ interested in what you are saying about biodiversity. we _ interested in what you are saying about biodiversity. we were - about biodiversity. we were discussing _ about biodiversity. we were discussing this _ about biodiversity. we were discussing this with - about biodiversity. we were discussing this with the - about biodiversity. we were - discussing this with the ministerial team _ discussing this with the ministerial team this — discussing this with the ministerial team this morning _ discussing this with the ministerial team this morning and _ discussing this with the ministerial team this morning and we've - discussing this with the ministerial team this morning and we've not i discussing this with the ministerial. team this morning and we've not met a single _ team this morning and we've not met a single one — team this morning and we've not met a single one who— team this morning and we've not met a single one who have _ team this morning and we've not met a single one who have achieved - team this morning and we've not met a single one who have achieved a - team this morning and we've not met a single one who have achieved a ten| a single one who have achieved a ten year target — a single one who have achieved a ten yeartarget so— a single one who have achieved a ten year target so we _ a single one who have achieved a ten year target. so we are _ a single one who have achieved a ten year target. so we are looking - a single one who have achieved a ten year target. so we are looking to - year target. so we are looking to make _ year target. so we are looking to make proper— year target. so we are looking to make proper progress. _ year target. so we are looking to make proper progress. i- year target. so we are looking to make proper progress. i want. year target. so we are looking to make proper progress. i want to| make proper progress. i want to raise —

manyjohnson is being questioned by the liaison committee which is the most senior parliamentary committee there is and there is a lengthy session and it has run away over time and there have been an awful lot of questions about the coronavirus pandemic and vaccines and questions around brexit and foreign affairs. just as i say that's right on cue prime minister borisjohnsonjust finishing up that's right on cue prime minister borisjohnson just finishing up a boris johnson just finishing up a session borisjohnson just finishing up a session that has gone way over time listening to all of that has been have a political correspondence make. hello to you. break it down for us. two major topics of the date but so much talk about coronavirus and their vaccine and the state of play with all of that. what are some of the key exchanges that have set out for you? it of the key exchanges that have set out for you?— out for you? it was really interesting _ out for you? it was really interesting because i out for you? it was reallyj interesting because boris out for you? it was really - interesting because boris johnson out for you? it was really _ interesting because boris johnson is interesting because borisjohnson is still very worried about that picture in the uk when it comes to the spread of the virus. he was

talking at the start about a substantial risk that the nhs and the uk could be overwhelmed by the number of cases at the morning talking about the enormous strain the staff are under at the moment and just today and came into uk there has been record figure for the number of deaths recorded in one day. howeverthe number of deaths recorded in one day. however the loire almost a light at the end of the tunnel suggestion when he was talking about how the lockdown which is in place in england has been working. have a listen to what he said about how he thought that was going. what listen to what he said about how he thought that was going.— listen to what he said about how he thought that was going. what we are seeinu thought that was going. what we are seeing today — thought that was going. what we are seeing today as _ thought that was going. what we are seeing today as i _ thought that was going. what we are seeing today as i speak— thought that was going. what we are seeing today as i speak to _ thought that was going. what we are seeing today as i speak to you i thought that was going. what we are seeing today as i speak to you are i seeing today as i speak to you are some _ seeing today as i speak to you are some early— seeing today as i speak to you are some early signs of progress in restraining the growth of the virus and some — restraining the growth of the virus and some signs of flattening and living _ and some signs of flattening and living off— and some signs of flattening and living off in some parts but it is far, living off in some parts but it is far. far— living off in some parts but it is far. far too _ living off in some parts but it is far, far too early for us to say

within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. the precise figure, 1564 near death sweeping 28 days of a positive coded test. 50 another milestone saturday as a positive coded test. so another milestone saturday as we keep have we will talk more about covid—19 in the next little while but as i suggested extraordinary events as leading washington, dc. as head there and go to my colleague because you have been listening to the debate which is ongoing in the house of representatives. the us capitol is like a fortress one week after that mob stormed at the capital building house democrats havejust begun the process of trying to impeach the president. there is the speaker of the house nancy pelosi. she has just accused the president of the united states of being a

clear and present danger because of his role, she says even inciting that mob to storm the us capital and endangering the lives of us lawmakers who are seated there in the chamber by nancy pelosi. this is a big fight event. make no mistake about it. it does look to proceed on the rules here ahead of the debate. it looks about broking —— break ranks. that is listen now. that ranks. that is listen now. at 12:19pm _ ranks. that is listen now. git 12:19pm the washington post headline was campaign to impeach president trump has begun. and now withjust one week left they are still trying. in seven days they will be a peaceful transfer of power just like there has been every other time in our country but democrats are going to impeach president trump again. this does not unite the country. there is no way this helps the

nation deal with the tragic and terrible events of last week that we all condemned. the republicans have been consistent. we have condemned all the violence all the time. we contended that condemned it last summer and be condemned it last week and we should be focused on bringing nations to get instead democrats are going to impeach them for a second time one week before he leaves office. why? why? politics and the fact that they want to cancel the president. the president to cut taxes and the president to reduce regulations and the president who prior to covid—19 has the lowest employment in 50 years. he brought hasidism from north korea. put three greatjustices on the supreme court and gave us a new nafta agreement, the covid—19 vaccine, and who built the covid—19 vaccine, and who built the wall. it's about politics. it is about getting the president of the

united states 90 minutes into his presidency based started the impeachment process, a three year, 2500 subpoenas, $40 million to find nothing. impeachment round one based on anonymous whistle—blower with no first—hand knowledge she was biased against the president and work for joe biden, now it is impeachment round two. it's always been about getting the president no matter what. it's an obsession, an obsession that has now brought in. notjust obsession that has now brought in. not just about obsession that has now brought in. notjust about impeachment any more, it's about canceling the president and anyone that disagrees with them. the ayatollah can tweak some of the president cannot. democrats can object on february two —— democrats say anti—fat is a myth, they condemn all violence all the time. the double standard has to stop.

frankly, the attack on the first amendment has to stop. stop and think about it, do you have a functioning first amendment vents when they cancel culture only allows one side to talk? when you can even have a debate in this country? the greatest country ever? it means to stop because if it continues. if it continues it won'tjust be republicans who get cancelled, it won'tjust be there president of the united states, the cancel culture will come for us all. america is a great country. the greatest country ever. and it seems to me we need to think about how great the people of this nation really are. think about what we've accomplished in the past and begin to come together as leaders. who represents a many great folks across la districts. think about this. in 1903 in north carolina, two guys flew a plane

hundred feet, barely cut off the ground, amazing thing, 44 years later, chuck yeager breaks the sound barrier. in 44 years ego from two guys flying a contraption a few hundred feet to the chuck yeager breaking the sound barrier and 22 years after that, 22 years after that another american steps on the moon. inc. about it. in one lifetime, and 66 years, two guys flying 100 feet to putting a man on the moon, that's what this country is capable of. that's what we can do. we asked the congress who represented who did that should start eating. to start understanding what's really going on here. i hope we defeat this, i hope we can begin to come together and recognise their greatness of the american people and focus on the things they want us to focus on the things they want us to focus on. i yelled back over time.

assert he was wrong to set such a confrontational tone and a put —— politically tense situation. but what did he actually say? his exact words were i know that everyone here will soon be marching over at the capital building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. unquote. that is impeachable? that is called freedom of speech. he also threatened to oppose candidates in future elections and by the way that was directed at republicans like me who resolve to uphold the constitutional process and the electoral college. well so what? that's called politics. if we impeached every politician who gave a fiery speech to a crowd of partisans of this capital would be deserted. that's what the president did, that is all he did. he

specifically told the crowd to protest peacefully and patriotically. and a vast majority of them did. but every movement has a lunatic fringe. suppressing free speech is not the answer holding rioters accountable for their actions is the answer. and we are. and if we prosecute that black lives matter and energy for rioters across the country with the same determination these last six months, this incident may not have happened at all. now short of declaring war, the power of impeachment is the most solemn and consequential act that congress can take. to use it in this manner, in the heat of the moment, with no hearings, no due process, many members phoning in their votes after a history called debate exactly one week before a new president is to take office. trivializes this power to the point of caricature. the democrats have

won everything inside. the house, the senate, and the presidency. in a republic, that calls for magnanimity by the victors. only in a banana republic does it call for vengeance. benjamin franklin warned us that the passion governs and she never governs wisely. we have set some dangerous new precedents that will haunt us for years to come. yesterday, we redefined intemperate speech as a physical incapacity requiring removalfrom office. today we defined it as a high crime and misdemeanor. at the moment any member of this body is an impassioned speech and a look —— lunatic fringe of the movement, be prepared to answer to this new president that re—established today. i could cite plenty of provocative

speeches made by democrats that directly preceded violence this summer. but we have already had enough of that. you know, after 600,000 americans perished in the civil war, abraham lincoln appealed to the better angels of our nature. he said, with malice toward none, with charity for all, that is bind up with charity for all, that is bind up the nations wounds. those words were so important to the unity of our nation they were inscribed in marble at the lincoln memorial. i cannot think of a more petty, vindictive, and gratuitous act than to impeach and already defeated president a week before he is to leave office. president elected by their new�*s promised to heal the nation becomes a whole mockery of a harsh reality of this constitutional act. god help our country. thea;t

if we don't impeach to protect our country, we will fail our own ellis to protect and defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies foreign and yes, domestic. we have no choice. we must impeach. god bless america. thea;t impeach. god bless america. they centleman impeach. god bless america. they gentleman from _ impeach. god bless america. they gentleman from new _ impeach. god bless america. they gentleman from new york reserves. the gentleman from ohio is recognised. they gentleman from arizona _ recognised. they gentleman from arizona is — recognised. they gentleman from arizona is recognised by two minutes _ arizona is recognised by two minutes. it arizona is recognised by two minutes. . arizona is recognised by two minutes-— arizona is recognised by two minutes. , ., , , ., arizona is recognised by two minutes. , ., ,, ., g, minutes. it is with wariness and a certain unhealthy _ minutes. it is with wariness and a certain unhealthy morbid - minutes. it is with wariness and a| certain unhealthy morbid curiosity that i_ certain unhealthy morbid curiosity that i watched _ certain unhealthy morbid curiosity that i watched the _ certain unhealthy morbid curiosity that i watched the beach - certain unhealthy morbid curiosity that i watched the beach —— - certain unhealthy morbid curiosity that i watched the beach —— beastj that i watched the beach —— beast attempt _ that i watched the beach —— beast attempt to — that i watched the beach —— beast attempt to that _ that i watched the beach —— beast attempt to that —— _ that i watched the beach —— beast attempt to that —— he _ that i watched the beach —— beast attempt to that —— he has - that i watched the beach —— beast attempt to that —— he has never. that i watched the beach —— beast- attempt to that —— he has never been satisfied _ attempt to that —— he has never been satisfied enough— attempt to that —— he has never been satisfied enough to _ attempt to that —— he has never been satisfied enough to investigations - satisfied enough to investigations and not _ satisfied enough to investigations and not to— satisfied enough to investigations and not to false _ satisfied enough to investigations and not to false allegations - satisfied enough to investigations and not to false allegations and l satisfied enough to investigations l and not to false allegations and not even to _ and not to false allegations and not even to an — and not to false allegations and not even to an impeachment _ and not to false allegations and not even to an impeachment that - and not to false allegations and not even to an impeachment that was l even to an impeachment that was wholly— even to an impeachment that was wholly without _ even to an impeachment that was wholly without merit. _ even to an impeachment that was wholly without merit. that - even to an impeachment that was wholly without merit. that timing| even to an impeachment that was . wholly without merit. that timing of this impeachment— wholly without merit. that timing of this impeachment makes— wholly without merit. that timing of this impeachment makes little - wholly without merit. that timing of. this impeachment makes little sense. your candidates _ this impeachment makes little sense. your candidates will— this impeachment makes little sense. your candidates will take _ this impeachment makes little sense.

republican representative they are speaking an impassioned terms about what he says president trump should not be impeached. republicans said this a rest impeachment it will make president trump a martyr and he is about to leave office in a week. however, we did here in the last hour nancy pelosi speaker of the

house of representatives making democrats case for why president trump should be impeached and for what democrats say was his incitement of the insurrection against the us capital and exactly one week ago when a violent mob stormed at the us capitol building. today the capital building is like fortress washington, here is what nancy pelosi had to say. the president must be impeached and i believe the president must be convicted by the senate and the constitutional remedy that will ensure that a public will be safe from this man who so resolutely determined to tear down the things that we hold here and hold us together. that we hold here and hold us touether. . . that we hold here and hold us touether. , , ., g ., together. this is what jim jordan the top republican _ together. this is what jim jordan the top republican on _ together. this is what jim jordan the top republican on the - together. this is what jim jordan l the top republican on the judiciary the top republican on thejudiciary committee had to say about why the president should not be impeached. it mimics, 90 minutes, fouryears ago on inauguration day 90 minutes into president trump us by the

administration at 12:19pm the washington post headline was campaign to impeach president trump has begun. and now withjust one week left, they are still trying. in seven days they would be a peaceful transfer of powerjust like there has been every other time in our country but democrats are going to impeach president trump again. this does not unite the country. there is no way this helps the nation dearly the tragic and terrible events of last week that we all condemned. abs, last week that we all condemned. a dramatic and tumultuous day here and washington, dc. as the house of representatives is on the cusp of voting to impeach president donald trump for a second time the last time was a year ago over his political influence in ukraine. this time democrats in the house of representatives is seeing the president tried to insights and insurrection of the us capital when the mob stormed the capital building exactly a week ago. it's very fluid

here and democrats have got the votes to impeach —— impeach and the question is what happens next. how quickly will that happen? joe biden being inaugurated exactly in lb request by the time. you are watching bbc news. some heavy snowfall on the way hello. some heavy snowfall on the way for scotland and northern england overnight and into thursday morning. the met office is concerned the amount of snowfall will lead to disruption, and hence has issued an amberwarning. throughout the area, the primary concern is shaded in amber. this is not the whole area that could see some snow, but here are the heaviest falls, up to 20 cm across the highest ground, ten cm at lower levels — that's eight inches of snow. got a big bank of very cold air at the moment sitting across scandinavia, which just extends into the east of the uk.

through wednesday, we've seen rain working its way across the uk courtesy of a weather front with mild air behind it. as it runs into the colder air, that's when things start to turn wintry, particularly as we move into thursday. we could even see something wintry as far south as the midlands and east anglia through the small hours. ice will be a risk for scotland and northern england first thing on thursday. towards the west, it's just so much milder — some rain around, overnight lows at 9—10 celsius. for thursday, high pressure ahead of the front and behind the front. it's not going anywhere in a hurry, it'll just gradually weaken through the day. but that does still mean we've got cold air around with more snow to, on thursday for and northern england — perhaps as i said, a bit of a wintry mixture further south, but largely rain as we look towards the southeast of england. it will take until the evening, though, for the snow to really fizzle out. it'll be a cold day, ice will be a problem as well because in some areas, temperatures will be no higher than around freezing. further west, 11 celsius in plymouth, some sunshine to the west as high pressure starts to build in for thursday afternoon. that extends right the way across the uk thursday night into friday. a cold start to friday, more

than likely an icy one for many. fog in some places too, which will stick around throughout the day, just lifting into a lot of great, low cloud which will peg the temperatures back. so i think some areas will sit around freezing through friday — generally a cold day for the majority, 3—4 celsius in the south, perhaps seven to the west. saturday, we bring in another weather system from the atlantic, bringing rain but also milder air and snow as it transitions across sunday, the quieter of the two days for the weekend ahead.

today at 6pm... the highest daily death toll from the coronavirus since the pandemic began — it's over 1,500 people. sorry, i'm just having a bit of an emergency. boris johnson warns that there is a very substantial risk that intensive care units could be overwhelmed. doctors are pleading for public cooperation. people really don't understand what the real impact of what they're doing is, that so many patients are ending up in hospital and so many patients who are ending up in hospital are ending up incredibly sick in intensive care beds. in scotland, nicola sturgeon tightens up some covid rules. also tonight: from tomorrow, some pharmacies in england will be offering covid jabs. ministers are also planning night and day vaccination centres.
