treasury compromise. i tell the house this is no compromise at all. it is a fiscal trap for the unwary. first of all, it is quite possible that these conditions will never be met and you don't need to look in the crystal ball, you can read the book. it is indisputably the case that there have only been one occasion in the last two decades, in 2001, when these conditions would have been met. if you look at what the obr has said, it is very clear that the debts and gdp will not be fallen until 2025. given that the 0.7 goes up and down with our economic performance, a very important point is, that the 0.7% policy protects us from that. does he not accept _ policy protects us from that. does he not accept that _ policy protects us from that. does he not accept that the _ policy protects us from that. does he not accept that the obr - he not accept that the obr exaggerated the gloom on the debt and deficit particularly in the last

two years, they exaggerated by 50 billion for last year between november and march, so why on earth does he believe their gloomy figures now? i'm sure we will get deficit down. . ., ., ~ now? i'm sure we will get deficit down. , . i, . down. he is looking in the crystal ball, i down. he is looking in the crystal ball. i am — down. he is looking in the crystal ball, i am looking _ down. he is looking in the crystal ball, i am looking in _ down. he is looking in the crystal ball, i am looking in the - down. he is looking in the crystal ball, i am looking in the book. in| ball, i am looking in the book. in the last 20 years there would have just been one occasion. i vote for the government tonight is to end the 0.7% commitment.— 0.7% commitment. does it say something _ 0.7% commitment. does it say something when _ 0.7% commitment. does it say something when every - 0.7% commitment. does it say something when every single i 0.7% commitment. does it say - something when every single economic and political commentator has said that this new mechanism will not see the no .7% return in the way that it should, that it is a copout of the highest order? he should, that it is a copout of the highest order?— highest order? he is absolutely ri . ht. highest order? he is absolutely riht. it highest order? he is absolutely right- it is _ highest order? he is absolutely right- it is a _ highest order? he is absolutely right. it is a trap _ highest order? he is absolutely right. it is a trap for— highest order? he is absolutely right. it is a trap for the - highest order? he is absolutely right. it is a trap for the unwary and a tribute to the chancellor of the exchequer�*s silver tongue. i shall certainly tonight be voting against this motion and against the government today. i shall do so with absolute conviction and a profound disappointment. this is only the

third time since i was elected in 1987 that i have voted against the government and one of those occasions was in the company of the prime minister. it is never easy to repel and i thank those who stood with us to support our manifesto. we should not be breaking our promise in the way. we should not be looking to balance the books on the backs of the poorest people in the world. i'm incredibly proud to have been a member of a conservative administration which declined to do that even with the austerity that we faced. for goodness' sake, this is 1% of the borrowing that the chancellor quite rightly made last year to shore up our country from covid. 1%. at tiny figure. it is the only cat that he has announced. it will have an enormous impact on our role in the world and it will affect the huge number of people there will be very severely damaged, maimed, blighted or die as a result of these

cuts. i remind the house that the cuts. i remind the house that the cuts include 25% on the education of girls, a top priority of the prime minister and his administration, for neglected tropical diseases were thank goodness that philanthropists have stepped in for one year only to protect the british taxpayer investment. we cover by 90%. in the yemen, by 60%. which is literally the equivalent of taking food away from starving people. that is what we are doing to the poorest in the world. this is how we are trashing our international reputation. we are the only country in the g7 cutting in the middle of the pandemic. everyone else is increasing. this is a decision we do not need to make. since we started this campaign there has been a 9% increase in support across our country for the government's policies. it is worse than a crime, it is a mistake. may i

say, in humble respect to my own party, some of us have seen this movie before. it took us 23 years, until 2015, to achieve an overall majority by wiping out the liberal democrat seats and to achieve it we secured the support of decent internationalist prodevelopment spending, who saw from time in austerity that we would stand by this promise. the former brexit secretary and i visited chesham and amersham and cheryl gillan would be voting with us on this issue tonight. anyone who thinks this is not affecting the reputation of our party is living in cloud cuckoo land. in chesham and amersham they have the biggest christian aid group in the country. this is not who we are, this is not what google britain is and i urge my right honourable and honourable friends tonight to vote against this motion. we and honourable friends tonight to vote against this motion.- and honourable friends tonight to vote against this motion. we now go

to the chair— vote against this motion. we now go to the chair of— vote against this motion. we now go to the chair of the _ vote against this motion. we now go to the chair of the select _ to the chair of the select committee, sarah champion. it committee, sarah champion. doesn't committee, sarah champion. it doesn't show respect for the house to ask us to take such a significant decision with little notice, little explanation and no clarity about the consequences of today? vote. it doesn't show respect to the communities in the poorest parts of the world when this government is willing to play games with their lives and livelihoods in this way. the government presents a motion is giving parliament an opportunity to have a say on when and how the uk will return to standing up .7% of gni on eight. today isn't really about that target or the cuts or livelihoods that are already being affected by reduced spending, it is about exerting pressure on government backbenchers who have been brave enough to collar with the government is doing. basically, back this or you will be blamed when taxes rise or spending falls, things that will likely happen because of the pandemic anyway. today is yet another example of this government because my complete lack of regard

for parliamentary scrutiny and they have form. there is a pattern that this —— of this government withholding information to the last minute and then only making the most basic details available. let's be clear, the government hasn't brought forward a substantive motion for this debate. the motion they have tabled is made in neutral terms and advice that was intended to allow the house to debate an issue without coming to a view. they claimed this debate is binding. it is not our procedures to make a binding, it is there a political choice. this is a kneejerk reaction dreamt up between last thursday and yesterday in the face of growing criticism of this government. talks of returning to 0.7%, yesterday's wms talks about returning to 0.71 we are not borrowing for day—to—day spending and underlying debt is falling, or on their own in each of these test is a high hurdle when combined, these conditions become incredibly

strict. since the no .7% target was introduced these tests have been met only once. they explicitly link spending to policy decisions made by other government departments on tax and spending. this double lock could lead to an indefinite cut in aid spending. of course the test do nothing to prevent them dropping lower than the not .5%. the obr has said the uk's economy is forecast to return to pre—pandemic levels in the second quarter of 2020, faster than originally thought. so if the return to economic reality is getting closer, why the need to introduce these extra checks? they are just added roadblocks, artfully placed by the treasury on the track back to the treasury on the track back to the legally mandated level of not .57%. fundamentally, this statement puts aid as an either or choice, either on spending on domestic public services or international

aid. it is an artificial choice mps are being forced to make. this is a breathtakingly... tote are being forced to make. this is a breathtakingly. . .— breathtakingly... we are going to leave that debate _ breathtakingly... we are going to leave that debate now, _ breathtakingly... we are going to leave that debate now, but - breathtakingly... we are going to i leave that debate now, but seriously want to continue watching it cannot scorch to show on bbc parliament. now on bbc news, it's time to take a look at some of the stories making the headlines this lunchtime from our newsrooms across the uk. we'll be hearing stories from shropshire and hampshire shortly, but first to south wales where a victim of crime says some people are put off reporting incidents because of the delays in getting justice. despite investment during the pandemic, the time it takes for a case to come to court has increased. now roxy freebury, from newport, is one of a number of victims who have worked with gwent police to improve support. wales today's home affairs correspondentjenny rees reports. a bite mark on her cheek.

a knee—shaped bruise to the chest. the blood dripped from cuts to her head. roxy freebury sought help from the police when she was twice a victim of domestic abuse. each time the individuals are prosecuted but the journey wasn't always perfect. i know they can only keep you for 24—hours without reasonable charging. but because my officer in charge was then on leave, i didn't hear anything. i had to ring the police myself. i had to go into the police station with my friend just to find out what was going on because i had just, sort of, reported someone who women's aid had described to me before as dangerous, and said i was high risk of serious harm or murder. i thought they would be looking out for me a bit more but i didn't even know if he was released, if he was remanded. in the end he was on remand but i didn't know until i chase them. and then i felt like a nuisance as well. she has since helped gwent police improve the support given and a new victim care unit has been setup. there is a wider risk

if it isn't done well. we'll be hearing stories from shropshire and hampshire i've had girls come to me because they know what i've been through and they are like, can i ask you a question, can i have your advice on this. and i'm saying, go to the police. and they are like, no, i don't want to, i don't feel safe enough, i don't feel they will do anything. there is a unit now dedicated to that and they can provide what victims need to feel safe. the uk government acknowledges major challenges remain in the justice system. there are more than 57,000 cases across england and wales waiting to be heard on the crown courts alone in spite of millions of pounds of investment. naturally, that impacts on the number of victims and defendants waiting. by putting this victims care unit together, we allow, first of all, the right support to be available through the criminal justice process and we are also releasing around 12% of our core demand from our 101 call takers. it is a win—win, we are speeding up the 101 service but, more importantly, we are also making sure we provide the right service at the right time for victims who need that support.

roxy reported the crimes against her. she gotjustice and a sense of empowerment. she says she'd encourage anyone else to do the same. shropshire has more river? pollution incidents than any other local authority in the midlands. that's according to new bbc research investigating the state of our rivers. across england, only cornwall recorded more pollution. midlands today's environment correspondent david gregory kumar has been investigating. meet the team putting right a decade old problem, 30 years ago shropshire's river was radically changed, dug out an address to create as sharp sighted, often fast loan channel, allowing farmers to grow high value crops —— crops without flooding. you grow high value crops -- crops without flooding.— grow high value crops -- crops without flooding. you end up with this channel. _ without flooding. you end up with this channel, that _ without flooding. you end up with this channel, that is _ without flooding. you end up with this channel, that is very - without flooding. you end up with | this channel, that is very uniform, square cut, it drains the land which

improves it for agriculture, but it removes all the diversity we might enjoy for ecology and habitats. but en'oy for ecology and habitats. but it enjoy for ecology and habitats. but it is the farmer who is here now he wants to try help with this right. this restoration work is one example of how everyone from farmers to water companies to wildlife groups are trying hard to tackle the many causes of pollution and poor water quality in our rivers. according to bbc research, it is shropshire and herefordshire that account for most of the midlands's series river pollution incidents. in england, only cornwall reported more. there is no one quick fix here, no simple way to improve the quality of the water in our rivers. it comes down to hundreds of different choices and improvements we all need to make, everything from how we handle pesticides near to rivers, right through to all of us —— what happens when all of us flush the toilet.

where does it all go? when track through the riverton river severn, you have these peaks of water pollution. we are still using our river systems to deal with their waist and we need to stop, but that costs a lot of money.— costs a lot of money. once we thou . ht costs a lot of money. once we thought of _ costs a lot of money. once we thought of our _ costs a lot of money. once we thought of our rivers - costs a lot of money. once we thought of our rivers as - costs a lot of money. once we thought of our rivers asjust i costs a lot of money. once we - thought of our rivers asjust places thought of our rivers as just places to get rid of stuff we didn't want and we treated them pretty badly. now we see them as havens for wildlife and places to enjoy in their own right, but unpicking the choices older generations made and putting them right won't be easy. bbc south today has heard it can take up to a week to get a call back from a gp and many haven t had face to face appointment since before the pandemic began. some patients in hampshire say access to primary care has never been more difficult. while nhs figures for april show more than 53% of people in the county saw a gp face—to—face, one 95—year—old man told us he waited eight days to even speak to a doctor. here's our health

correspondent alastair fee. donald lives alone in fairham and at 95 is in good health but at his age, speedy access to a doctor is important. he recently waited eight days for a call—back a gp. at 95, i could have been gone. up there. it is absolutely ridiculous. where it is all the seven doctors that used to be down the road? they want to think of the people that have normal run—of—the—mill illnesses. in langley near southampton, marjorie has had similar issues. she says she is not seen a gp in person for well over a year. you just can't get an appointment no matter how hard you try. you ring up, they tell you they haven't got an appointment, ring at eight o'clock in the morning. you ring up and they tell you they haven't got any appointments. that is if they haven't got you on hold for over half an hour some days.

gp practices have been under additional pressure because of the vaccination roll—out. seven were helping run a clinic at the weekend in the guildhall in southampton. after talking with the doctor, donald was then given a home visit. the local nhs clinical commissioning group says his care is being prioritised. he has since had a follow—up appointment. the nhs says it is working hard to ensure all patients who need to see someone face—to—face can do so. at least 64 people have died in a major fire at a hospital treating coronavirus patients in southern iraq. many more have been injured in the fire at the al—hussain hospital in the city of nassiriya, which officials say is likely to have been caused by an oxygen tank explosion. jean mackenzie reports.

the flames soared high and spread fast. crews struggling to fight the fire to save those trapped inside fighting covid—19. rescue workers were unable to make it through the thick smoke. this morning, relatives were left to search for their loved ones among a pile of burnt bodies. the temporary covid award left mangled by the heat. the building was new, opened just three months ago, a basic structure tacked onto the side of the hospital, unable to withstand the force of what was likely an oxygen tank exploding. it quickly became a tinderbox. the front door was burning and the back door was closed so people couldn't get out, this witness says.

people were stuck inside and then the ceiling fell on them. the pandemic was already proving too much for iraq's woeful health system to cope with, on its knees after years of war, neglect and chronic mismanagement. covid cases here were climbing. grief quickly turned to anger. crowds gathered outside the hospital chanting against authorities and a health system that has, once again, failed to protect them. this is the second such tragedy in a matter of months. in april, more than 80 people died after an oxygen cylinder exploded at a covid hospital in baghdad. as more bodies were counted, the prime minister, mustafa al—kadhimi, has ordered the arrest of health officials and the hospital manager, promising repercussions for this catastrophic failing,

that a place intended to save lives has ended up taking so many. france says all healthcare workers must be fully vaccinated against covid—19 by september, or they risk not being paid. the announcement, by president emmanuel macron, comes as cases of the delta variant there are rising. greece is following suit, after similar measures were unveiled by italy in april. mark lobel reports. to france's health care workers, a message from the president: get vaccinated in the next two months or risk not being paid. translation: it is the only way to return to normal life. initially for health care staff in hospitals, clinics, retirement homes, institutions for people with disabilities, for all professionals or volunteers who work in contact with the elderly

orfrail, including at home, vaccination will be made compulsory without delay. president macron says it is a race against the clock as the take—up of firstjabs is falling and less than 40% of the population has had two shots. that's a concern because of a rise in cases of coronavirus with the delta variant causing a surge in hospital admissions. not everyone has welcomed the move. translation: if it's compulsory, we will do it, of course. translation: for me, forcing an agent to be vaccinated with a specific product is total nonsense. new rules also mean that from next month the nonvaccinated will struggle to get into one of these, these, these, or get away without a negative covid test. greece has announced vaccines are now mandatory for care home staff and will be for health care workers from september, with new restrictions for the

nonvaccinated in bars, cinemas and theatres. in holland, there has been a screeching u—turn of the loosening of restrictions unveiled just three weeks ago as nightlife resumed, infection levels surged to their highest levels this year. the dutch prime minister admitted an error ofjudgment. translation: i do think the prime minister opened things too early. it would have been better to wait a few more weeks because now we are in a surge again. it's a shame because everybody expected to have like an open summer with a lot of activities. i know that my friends were all buying tickets and everything, and now it'sjust all cancelled again. as europe faces rising numbers of infections, mainly due to the delta variant, several countries' tolerance of those avoiding injections appears to be waning. mark lobel, bbc news.

now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafenaker. for some of us yesterday it was a total wash—out with flash flooding in places. a different story today, the sun is out, scattered clouds. there are a few showers in the forecast but not as many of them and they want to be as heavy. wont to be as heavy. here is the recent satellite picture. you can see, not a case of clear blue skies across the uk but a decent enough day. coastal areas are faring best through the course of this afternoon and into this evening. into this evening, there might be one or two showers are lingering one or two showers lingering through the midlands, northern england and scotland. for many of us, it is a case of evening sunshine and comfortable temperatures between the high teens and low 205. one or two showers may linger into the late evening hours but overnight it is dry for many of us especially out towards the west, central areas as well. but for the coast of kent,

round east anglia, along the north sea coast, it is going to be quite an overcast night. so, here first thing in the morning, we will probably start off a little cloudy, but thanks to this high pressure building from wednesday onwards the weather is improving, increasingly more sunny as we go through the next few days. wednesday morning, a little cloudy to start with in the east but the cloud break up and that is a chance the clouds will increase for a time in the north—west of the country so keeping things a little cooler, 17 for stornoway but for the vast majority of us it is in the low, even mid 205. you will start to feel that warmth from wednesday onwards. here is a look at thursday. the high pressure we have been promising is building towards us keeping the weather front at bay. they are heading towards iceland rather than our direction. that means increasingly sunny. here is thursday's forecast. clouds will bubble up through the course of the afternoon but we are only talking about fairweather cloud and for many of us it is going to be a case of sunny skies. temperatures on thursday into the mid 205, 25, 26 in some spots.

coastal areas will be a little bit cooler. at the end of the week and into the weekend, the high—pressure is right on top of us with light winds and it is going to feel even warmer. we are expecting temperatures of 26, perhaps even 27 celsius. as we head into next week, we keep the high—pressure, we keep the fine weather and it is going to stay warm. not looking bad at all. goodbye.
