>> good evening. tonight we debate what happened last night in brussels at the pm's dinner. we look at the lucy letby conviction. they seem now to be some really rather serious doubts. we'll discuss angela rayner's islamophobia council, the rosebank oil development. it will stop by a court, but now it might go ahead. what's really happening? and the government's ev mandate policy. there's a review going on right now. i would suggest it needs a very serious rethink. but before all of that, let's get the news with aaron armstrong. >> thank you very much indeed. very good evening to you. our top stories. around ten people have been killed after a shooting at an adult education centre in sweden, described by the prime minister as the worst in the country's history. a warning viewers may find the following footage distressing.

and cards have been left for the popular pupil, a 15 year old boy arrested on suspicion of murder remains in custody. a panel of international medical experts has concluded lucy letby did not murder any babies after outlining significant new evidence they believe bad medical care and natural causes led to the deaths. letby , led to the deaths. letby, serving 15 whole life sentences after being convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others in 2015 and 16. the case is to be reviewed by a commission that investigates potential miscarriages of justice. chair of the panel, doctor shoo lee, says there are alternative explanations for each of her convictions. >> we did not find any murders in all cases, death or injury were due to natural causes or just bad medical care. in our opinion, the medical opinion, the medical evidence does not support murder in any of these

babies, just natural causes and bad medical care. >> the president of poland says the eu is ready and will respond to any us tariffs within an houn to any us tariffs within an hour. donald tusk, former head of the european council, says the eu will act together in the face of tariffs announced by donald trump. it's emerged trump will speak with the chinese president, xi jinping, later after china announced retaliatory tariffs on american goods following his 10% tax on its imports. his threats of tariffs against canada and mexico were paused for 30 days yesterday after 11th hour negotiations, and the princess of wales has joined a group of children on a visit to the national portrait gallery as part of her gradual return to pubuc part of her gradual return to public engagements following cancer treatment. kate took the school bus to the popular arts attraction. the 13 children there were taken on the magical bow beam tree trail, based on the new shaping us framework, published by kate's royal

foundation centre for early childhood. it's aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of society's social and emotional skills, and those are the latest gb news headlines. i'll be back with more in an hour's time. >> so the eu reset, i guess it really began last night. keir starmer heads off to brussels for dinner with the other european leaders. the choice of location was fascinating. palais d'egmont, which is where never they never have dinners there. they nearly always have them in the council building. why did they choose that building? well, there was symbolism here because thatis there was symbolism here because that is where edward heath went to sign the accession treaty in 1972. i think that was a bit of a game and an attempt to ever so slightly humiliate the british prime minister. we got a raft of conclusions, one of which was that we're going to deepen industrial collaboration. we're clearly going to get closer to

eu rules. we may even allow the ec] some oversight. but a lot of ecj some oversight. but a lot of what was discussed last night will become clearer at a summit that's going to happen in this country in the middle of may. i guess that sir keir really is a rejoiner at heart, and i fear that we're going to sort of head a little bit closer towards that brexit in name only, as long as it doesn't get too close, because if he does, it'll reduce our ability to be flexible with america. i'm joined in the studio by sir david davis mp. i'm joined by sir ranil jayawardena and joe just ordinary joe phillips. i'm very sorry about that. that's all right. david. you were heavily involved in the brexit negotiations for many years. what's going on? >> well, firstly there's a degree of labour naivety about this. they think of europe as a good thing. they're all intrinsically remainers. they're a couple of honourable exceptions, but the vast

majority are intrinsically remainers. they'd love to be back in. and so they're going to be fairly weak willpower, shall we say, in this exercise, they'll get pressed. they'll get pressed on fishing rights. they'll get pressed on free movement, or at least free movement, or at least free movement for young people, which will grow. they'll get pressed on the european court of justice, because we'll get sucked in and sucked in, and then they'll say, there's only one thing that can arbitrate this. >> one could argue, david, that if the conservatives had actually taken us away from more eu law, it would be much more difficult to get close again. >> not really. i mean, look, i think the i think what will happenis think the i think what will happen is they'll come back and you talk about this european integration, they industrial integration, they industrial integration collaboration. they collaboration. >> so is that an industrial policy. >> it will be it will be integrated. >> is that a procurement policy. what is it. >> well, one of the things will be a procurement policy we will get sucked into because some of this is about defence. we'll get sucked into defence procurement

rules. you watch you know, and so our own companies will be at risk. >> so kinetic and all the big providers, all those are going to be watching this very carefully. >> i would think so. and their shareholders i would watch their shareholders i would watch their share price. >> i agree with you. i mean the liberal democrats are, you know, every pmqs it's we must rejoin the customs union. so i guess you're thrilled by this. i barely conceal your excitement. >> well, you know, that's always the case. really? >> that's why we have you on. >> that's why we have you on. >> you know, i don't think there is any chance of rejoining. as much as i wish we had never left. but, you know, i think that battle has been won, you know, i mean, i have yet maybe one of you could tell me one advantage to anybody from brexit because whatever you think, it was so badly run and so badly managed that any benefits that might have come have yet to appear on the horizon. >> well, i think foreign policy, we've stood taller. the aukus deal we've stood taller. the aukus deal, what we've done on ukraine, i mean, that's just

start. >> well, ukraine, yes. to be fair to boris johnson, he was at the forefront. >> the fact that if trump puts tariffs on the european union, we're free to be outside of it. but all the more. i mean, how long do you i mean, how many examples do you want? >> nigel. come on. it is ridiculous. >> that's what you get from a poorly run brexit. well. >> but but the burden on small businesses, the burden on farmers, the burden, you know, the lack of professional qualification, lining up with people, the ability to travel. it's just. >> well, the burden the burden is interesting, ronald. because, you know, one of the things that we all believed and certainly of the 5.5 million men and women running small businesses who overwhelmingly voted brexit. they thought the rulebook would get simpler. there's evidence that actually the rule book barely changed , and that barely changed, and that actually our own quangos and regulatory authorities have made people's lives even more miserable. well, look. >> i want to come back on something that joe said. but in answer to your question, yes, there is further to go in terms of simplifying regulation. yes, we could have done that. >> we've barely started.

>> we've barely started. >> i agree with that. five years on, in one bit of defence, i think it is clear that covid did come at 1535
