let's go to westminster now and vicki young.n this afternoon on this debate which will be very short. that crucial vote at around 3:30pm. this is the eu withdrawal bill. this is about making sure there is no all in legislation once we leave the eu. it transposes all of that eu law into british law so the country can function, so the legal system can function. it has now become about what happens if there is no deal scenario, about who is in charge of the brexit processed when it comes to that. let's take a look at the details. the amendment today is what far rule parliament will have if there is no brexit deal with brussels. ministers say that is not what we want to happen but if it does, this is what the scenario could look like. some conservatives mps are threatening to vote against the government in theirs. labour is urging its mps to back the tory levels. —— rebels. the uk is due to leave the european union in march 20 19th, soul and nine or ten months. let's talk to a conservative backbencher who resigned last week over thi

she's been speaking to our political correspondent vicky young. pressing her case on the world stage, theresa may's flown thousands of miles to chat with presidents and prime ministers. but the questions for her stay the same. is brexit on track? is she in charge? these are complex negotiations, but the british people want us to deliver brexit and i am determined to do that. she might not expect eu leaders to give her a helping hand, but surely she could rely on her foreign secretary. back home, though, borisjohnson‘s been secretly recorded suggesting theresa may could learn something from the american president. so did the prime ministerfeel undermined by those remarks? people like borisjohnson have strong views on brexit, but so do i. i want to deliver brexit for the british people. that's what people want and i'm getting on and doing it. how many times can we get to this position, where you have to have these clashes with those on your own side? at every stage in these negotiations, we've seen people casting doubt on whether or not we could ach

let's speak to our chief political correspondent vicki young. i think that is the point, isn't it. theresa may is a prime minister, who does not have a majority of mps. that means that almost every vote is a bit of a battle. this particular bit of legislation, the eu withdrawal bill, was supposed to be about making sure that there is a smooth brexit, so when the uk leave the year, all of that eu law, all of those regulations, it was all going to be transposed over, taken over, but into british law. so there is not a gaping hole, if you like, but into british law. so there is nota gaping hole, if you like, in the statute book. that is what the law was supposed to be about, but it became about an awful lot more. that is partly because the figures on her own side, people who are very much pro—eu, who wanted to make sure that they get a meaningful vote at the end of the process, if she comes back with a deal from brussels, end of the process, if she comes back with a dealfrom brussels, all with no deal, they wanted to have a meaningful sale in what

our chief political correspondent, vicki young is at the summit in quebec. one of the more tense affairs in summits of this kind, and as you say, that is because of this issue of trade and donald trump's decision to put tariffs on steel and aluminium imports has caused a lot of disconcernation among the eu leaders, who just the end, it is going to lead to everyone being poorer. what they're trying to avoid is an all—out trade war. the message from the uk prime minister, theresa may, to donald trump, was really to say pull—back from this. focus on china and they're very cheap imports. do not take it out on everyone else. well, just before he left, donald trump did take questions from journalists. his message really to the leaders here and to everyone else is to say that he believes that the us has been taken advantage of for years. i blame our past leaders. there was no reason that this should have happened. last year, they lost 800... we as a nation, over the years, but the latest numbers, $817 billion on trade. that's ridiculous and it's unacceptable. every

let's get more from our chief political correspondent vicki young.it do not think they have been convinced. they have said they will now abstain. they won't oppose it. that helps. and i think there are enough labour mps who will back the government in order to make sure that your vote happens. after all of these years, all these decades of talking about it, this gives an outline planning permission to heathrow to get on with the detail. even then people think this timetable could be pretty slow. the government and ministers and others fear it could end up in the courts before the building starts at all. it has been going on forever, as you say, remind us why it has been so controversial. there is a lot of talk about the pollution and the lives of those who live under the flight lives of those who live under the flight path. this is one of the busiest airports in the world. particularly those night flights. one of these mps, a former minister, has resigned in order to oppose this expansion. his constituency, those people he represents,, he says they ha

let's go straight to our chief political correspondent vicki young who has more.out making sure that there is a statute book. it has gradually become about more than that. some mps push to say that they should be in charge of the process if we get to a scenario where there is no deal. now, there is no doubt that the government was concerned about winning this boat. we saw mps, some of them quite sick, being brought in from hospital, a heavily pregnant mp, forced really, to come here to register their vote. in the end, the government won the day, but yet again, we saw some toing and froing between the sides, we had some conservative rebels saying that actually, they were satisfied with what the government was offering them, that in the end, the government was saying that the time would be given to parliament to put down motions, and to debate what was going on, and that was enough for them. it was certainly enough dominic grieve. my view is that if that is the issue, then having finally obtained, i have to say, with a little bit more difficulty than i would have wi

first to our chief political correspondent, vicki young, who's at westminster. conservatives are not being told they can vote how they wa nt being told they can vote how they want to, they are being whipped. party managers are making sure every conservative they can find will back this. borisjohnson conservative they can find will back this. boris johnson has conservative they can find will back this. borisjohnson has been a long—time critic of the plans and conveniently finds himself out of the country today. i think his personal embarrassment, if there is any, it is may be heightened by greg hands who is similarly an mp who has a constituency interest in this, being under the heathrow flight path. he decided to give up his ministerial career in order to honour the pledge he had made many times in public to oppose it. there will be some, and they have been saying it, would be the decent thing for borisjohnson would have been would have been to resign and put his money where his mouth is and oppose the scheme. mrjohnson writing in the evening standard said he wo

earlier, our political correspondent vicki young spoke to labour‘s health spokesmanjon ashworth.o you welcome this news? we agree that the nhs needs more money but how the prime minister intends to fund this has completely unravelled. today she is admitting tax rises. the fundamental issue is that she is simply not getting the nhs the funding it needs. the fact that today she conceded that the legal obligations in the nhs constitution, that you will be seeing seen within 18 weeks or four hours in within 60 days if you you have cancer, those legal standards will not be met. so how would labour fund the increase? you say you wuld give it more than 20 billion a year extra? these are the plans that we would inherit should we form the next government, but we would go further still. we would increase tax on the very wealthiest in society, and the big corporations who have had multi—billion pound tax cuts. we would ask them to pay a little bit extra in tax to fund the nhs if we were in government, we would be allocating an extra almost 9 billion for the nhs and social care. people have
