but a former critic of the deal, david davis, tells the bbc it stands a decent chance of being accepted by the commons. well, it's not a good deal, but the alternative is a complete cascade of chaos. meanwhile, the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, says all eyes are now on parliament. we'll also be looking at how public attitudes to brexit, and the negotiations, might have changed over the past year. the other main stories on bbc news at 5: jack shepherd, convicted of killing a woman in a speedboat accident on the thames in london, is to be extradited back to the uk from georgia. uefa opens disciplinary proceedings against montenegro after some fans made racist chants towards england players during their euro 2020

with me are broadcaster david davies and jessica elgot, the chief political correspondent for the guardian many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the guardian carries a striking picture of the devastation caused by cyclone idai in southern africa, as the search for survivors continues. the metro leads on a letter that theresa may will send to the eu on wednesday, formally asking for brexit to be postponed. the prime minister's appeal to brussels, asking for a brexit delay, is also on the front page of the i. but the financial times says the eu is warning there's n0 guarantee of an extension, beyond the set departure date of march 29th. the telegraph reports on fractures in theresa may's cabinet, with eurosceptic ministers threatening to quit if there's a long delay to brexit. and finally, the daily mail bemoans, what it calls, 1000 wasted days , as it tallies up the number of days since britain voted to leave the eu. so, brexit dominating most of the front pages — lets see what our reviewers make of it all. but let us start, i think with the guardian coming into this devastating cy

but how many conservatives feel like david davies?hrow into this mix the issue of theresa may's leadership, tory mps talking about all the time, about whether she would announce a date for her departure, would that bring over enough conservatives to back the deal? they are both waiting for each other here. theresa may does not want to go public, she is not sure the numbers are there, but there are also tory mps who do not trust her if they were to commit to backing her deal. she will address a party tomorrow at 5pm, it will be quite a day. our europe correspondent, adam fleming, is in strasbourg. i understand that the brexit steering committee, what did they have to say? there was a meeting of the group of the senior meps who oversee the brexit process from the european parliament perspective, they met here this afternoon. michel barnier was there, the chief negotiator for the eu, barnier was there, the chief negotiatorfor the eu, saying all eyes a re negotiatorfor the eu, saying all eyes are on westminster, increasing the tension a b

she has faced huge criticisms, resignations from prominent figures like boris johnson and david davismer and of course we we re plan last summer and of course we were here in july plan last summer and of course we were here injuly when she thought she had an approach that would see her through brexit but unfortunately that was not to be the case. goodness me, doesn't six months see mea goodness me, doesn't six months see me a long time in politics. with me is our political correspondent, nick eardley. six months feels like a lifetime in terms of events that have happened. and yet we're still not at a resolution of this brexit situation. we are still not out of the eu and still not 100% certain when we will be and on what terms, if any? that's absolutely right and the other uncertainty is whether the prime minister will even bother putting this deal back to mps because as things stand, as cabinet ministers are acknowledging today, it looks highly unlikely she would get that deal through, i suspect that meeting at chequers, due to start now, will involve some discussion of whether those

11:30pm, we will be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, jessica elgot and david daviesay with us for that. good evening and welcome to bbc news. it is feared hundreds of thousands of people are homeless after what is thought to be one of the worst natural disasters to hit africa. cyclone idai struck the coast of east africa four days ago, swamping mozambique, zimbabwe and malawi. the united nations says the world has yet to realise the full scale of the massive disaster. the storm made landfall on the coast of mozambique, bringing 100 mph winds and floodwaters that were swept inland. no—one knows how many people may have died. the red cross says urgent aid is needed. in a moment, shingai nyoka reports from chimanimani. but first, our africa editor fergal keane is in the port city of beira, in mozambique, which has been flattened. whatever once lay here has been overwhelmed. now, the flooded land is an expanse of questions. what has become of those who lived here? only a silence below. and very occasional moments of reprieve. these survivors landing at beira airport, res

thank you david davies and jessica elgot. goodbye. good evening. a new owner and a new name for cycling's team sky. it's been confirmed this afternoon that britain's richest man, sirjim ratcliffe, is stepping in to secure its future. the british team will now be known as team ineos starting from the tour de yorkshire at the beginning of may. led by sir dave brailsford, the team has won the tour de france six times since it was formed nine years ago. sky sponsored them from the start, but will withdraw its backing from the end of this season. this will come as some relief, certainly to the staff of team sky here at the national cycling centre, and of course their fans who, over the last few years, have seen this era of unprecedented success. the tea m era of unprecedented success. the team has won the tour to france in six of the last seven years with three different british riders, that's undoubtedly contributed, hasn't it, to the upsurge and popularity of cycling here in britain and! popularity of cycling here in britain and i think the fans would

sold to the public in twenty sixteen before the referendum hasn't really like the promise from david davis himself to have negotiated a free trade area ten times the size of you by the autumn of twenty eighteen where did fantasies like that come from lighter remember that fantasy but. we voted to leave. should have been able to have a constructive dialogue with be able to leave by now in the future partially but not on the basis of that hunters i mean might go for instance that they asked that we vote to leave we hold all the cards and we can choose the path we want what was that when i was there were some people hopes wasn't it we could have chosen to say we'll leave without a deal here's a draft free trade deal take it or leave it we didn't used to play the cards in that way we've been trying to secure. the government been trying to secure what was like a hybrid half in half out relationship which the e.u. did think was cherrypicking but you're a city insult fairytales to the country you sold the public a pup didn't you i think we did i thought i think we should have an independent count

with me are broadcaster david davies and jessica elgot, the chief political correspondent for the guardianw's front pages are already in. the guardian carries a striking picture of the devastation caused by cyclone idai in southern africa, as the search for survivors continues. the metro leads on a letter that theresa may will send to the eu on wednesday, formally asking for brexit to be postponed. the prime minister's appeal to brussels, asking for a brexit delay, is also on the front page of the i. but the financial times says the eu is warning there's no guarantee of an extension, beyond the set departure

will david davis be able to continue working across the eu countries?r. it depends partly oi'i the short answer. it depends partly on his business, whether it's a goods business or services business. it also depends to a large part on what still has to be negotiated in the future. it sounds like he's based in the uk. 0ne the future. it sounds like he's based in the uk. one of the main difficulties is for brits based elsewhere in europe because the rights they are being given under the withdrawal agreement that theresa may has agreed with the eu only apply to the country in which they are living. for example, if you live in france you would have the right to remain living and working in france, but if you live in france and have business in germany or italy you wouldn't necessarily retain those rights in the future. again, a slightly unsatisfactory answer it depends what gets negotiated in the future. this comes back to the fact that we have the withdrawal agreement which is legally binding but the other part of the deal is the non—binding political decl

for the future, and you will sense how high the emotions are running from the comment there from david daviesenches asking oliver letwin, the memberfor west dorset weather as the new jobbing prime minister, as he put it, he would, how he would be held scrutiny. so there are the divisions within the conservative party. let's go to the lobby, get some reaction and chris mason is there for us. trivial as they were, round the remarks the speaker made about greg hands, about the extent to which there is a lot of hostility towards there is a lot of hostility towards the speaker quite frankly, you heard that. let's see where we are after a series of votes, another government defeat, three ministers resigning in the process and as she reflected, christian in that statement i will do it, a clear anger and frustration, they have lost control of the order paper on the house of commons on wednesday not necessarily of the brexit process. let's bring in andrew bridgen, conservative mp and brexiteer, and is it unpersuaded that the prime minister's deal. your reflections on tonight. one that oliver letwin am

lincoln and david davis and some of his allies are riding letters, davis at one point does a tour and meets with weed, other new yorkers, meets with these people, all in part of an effort to make sure they keep their eye on the ball the ball on this case is electing lincoln. and putting aside whatever their personal issues are. you knew this was the outcome, right? i was doing my best to keep the suspense going here. so lincoln wins. it does indeed end up being lincoln and douglas in the north, breckinridge and bell in the south. and breckinridge was the lower south with his argument for late code. l wins the upper software there is less of that commitment to protecting slavery at all costs. and lincoln just stops douglas across the country sort of. he easily beats douglas in the electoral college. lincoln is up with 180 oleksuk volts, douglas is 12 but in fact in a lot of states they ran pretty close. a couple of things to think about in connection with this. one, if douglas, breckinridge and bell had gone together with they have been lincoln? the three of them together got 123 elect

david davis, a former brexit secretary.e has been talking about what would happen if there is no brexit at all. he warned of a democratic disaster. britain will get its trump moment. what happens is that the british people who voted for this, and a large number of remainers who didn't vote for it but still think it should be carried through because they believe in democracy, will see a government walking away, a parliament walking away from a question that they themselves put to the people. now that will undermine, that will absolutely undermine belief in democracy in this country and certainly belief in the established political parties. what is going on is a bit of nervousness around this potential delay, despite going on later this week where mps may get the chance to extend article 50. meanwhile, labour are saying they think the delay is inevitable now because it is getting so close to the wire. the labour party have had their own plan, a closer relationship with the european union, if you like. creating a customs union

david davis, bill cash, both prominent brexit is, bill cash, both prominent brexit is, bill cash, oneport the deal. there are some well—known brexit is who have changed sides today, including dominic raab and iain duncan smith. saying they will support the withdrawal agreement. the reason for that as we were hearing, they want the agreement that we will be leaving the eu locked down. let us take a pause for now. we will be back with more coverage. it is getting closer to the moment when mps vote, at 2:30pm, full coverage still ahead. time for a look at the weather. it is a glorious day here. warming up nicely, 18 is quite likely. we have had low cloud, mist and fog over western coasts. and across northern ireland and western scotland, drizzly rain towards the highlands. that figure cloud will push across southern scotland overnight. clearer for england and wales. some mist and fog forming in the west. temperatures close to freezing in rural areas. light rain and result sinking down towards northern england and north wales. ahead of it, some sunny spells. quite warm as well, temperatur

if i did not know better i would suggest he is leading the bid for david davis...s character, he ran away! oblak the former foreign secretary mrjohnson would be another option, he is apparently calling himself a one nation chory. he wants to cut taxes, johnson, that is in the daily telegraph. he says we have to make business come alive. he is an economist, every monday he is the lead in the telegraph and yet ina time is the lead in the telegraph and yet in a time of pretty high drama and crisis he has become an afterthought in the front page story, he is way down on the fourth leg of the story. but he says his bid has the biggest ring about it, i want to be leader. cutting taxes wherever we reasonably can, cutting stamp duty, inheritance tax. this is a rich man's charter. that is why the erg has been gunning for him. there is a lot of belief that the post brexit scenario has to be an entirely different britain and the brexiteers belief we can and from this whole new economic situation. meanwhile our children are starving, everybody knows austerity has been a terrib

she has gotten david davis on board, he had resigned because he did not like the direction of travel, voted in favour of the bill. if he could campaign over the next few days the prime minister would find that helpful. moving away from brexit and let's talk about bloody sunday, the other huge story of the day. lucy, you covered that today. and the news that one former member of the parachute regiment will be charged with murder. what was the reaction in londonderry. the paratrooper who is set to stand trial is accused of two counts of murder and of attempted murder. so six families are impacted by that decision and welcome the decision today. and the otherfamilies welcome the decision today. and the other families who did not receive news that soldiers linked to the deaths of their loved ones, nonetheless welcomed the news. that there was a huge degree of disappointment and shock that not more former paratroopers were put on trial. using the families were genuinely expecting more former soldiers to be charged? truly they were. i spoke to rogic nash, the sister of william nash who was

the one thing about the backstop, and again it is something david davis put in.eed to keep the island of ireland together. i would urge my colleagues, not to support her, but in the end i suppose the individual members of parliament will make their own decision. but i hope they will support the party. i've never heard a corbynite to use the cause of unionism! i wish people would stop making silly political points. it's not silly. we are discussing something proper here. it's important there isn't a hard border between northern ireland and the republic. you don't need one. the backstop is absolutely not the right way to achieve this. it's been totally misrepresented. you can achieve a soft border on the island of ireland through a trusted trader scheme for travellers and checks miles from the border. it's a complete european concept. members of the european research group seem to think it's possible but no one else does. that's not really fair. people like nicky morgan have come to accept that we can have a sensible soft border. vivian e-mails to say i want my mp

even with potential leadership candidates like boris johnson, and like david davis on side, mrs may needs round leave—accepting labour mps. they don't want to see a more brexiteer pm. as for the post—brexit future, mps couldn't agree an alternative plan yesterday. but a so—called softer brexit — sticking with eu customs rules — came close. a new referendum wasn't far off, either. and that's frightened some brexiteers who are coming to see mrs may's deal as the best brexit on offer — just not enough. so, britain may end up back in brussels seeking more time. the eu gave mrs may until tomorrow to agree a deal if it wants a brexit extension to may the 22nd to fix the details. or, if her dealfails, face a tighter deadline on april the 12th. that, on paper, could mean a no—deal brexit in a fortnight. now, team may is hoping they can at least get mps behind the terms of divorce, the withdrawal agreement, and that would be enough to get past april the 12th and give britain until the third week in may to get the whole brexit deal passed. otherwise, there would be two weeks to agree something else

like boris johnson, dominic raab, rep and key brexiteers, people like borisjohnson, dominic raab, david davisnd discuss what happens next. all of this ahead of a huge week where both the brexit plan and the prime minister's future hanging in the balance. hundreds of people have been winched to safety from a stranded cruise ship, after it lost all power in a storm off the coast of norway. 200 british people were among those on board — many of them elderly. 20 people are being treated in hospital. the viking sky is now being towed to safety — along with hundreds of passengers who remain on the ship. caroline davies reports. falling parts of the ceiling, sliding tables and chairs and plants. passengers struggled to catch the balance as the storm surges around the ship. after the viking sky suffered engine failure yesterday afternoon the liner began to roll. what are all over the ground. this is said to be fitted inside the ship showing passengers filming water rushing past their feet. while others queue to be evacuated wearing orange life jackets. five helicopters were sent to winchell is on boa

on board, even some of her predominant seemingly die—hard opponents like former brexit secretary david davise deal. the european research group is a lot more squidgy and soft than some people might think. and people might have to come to terms with the fact that brussels will offer no more concessions. there is no magic new deal they will offer so that might concentrate minds. if you ask for a delay it might come with a high price tag as the eu says, that's fine, but we might want to talk a little bit about gibraltar. do you wa nt little bit about gibraltar. do you want a short delay? no, we have to talk about a long delay. when that's factored in, there are people around number ten who think that meaningful vote number three is a runner. but the priority is on these votes today, taking no deal off the table. there is also a row about that. everything to do with brexit there isa everything to do with brexit there is a row about. the motion mrs may has put down will only take no deal off the table for march 29 and a cross— party off the table for march 29 and a cross—party group of mps say th

the glimmer of hope to the prime minister is people like david davies, the man who resigned as brexitvote for it. alongside him some other brexiteers as well. that will be something the prime minister will be able to seize on and say, if people like him realise this is the best way forward they can persuade other ones as well. a couple of other tory mps tonight listening to what is going on in there. it was defeated tonight but it wasn't so close that they do know the numbers are almost there and itjust takes a couple more people in orderfor that to be the case, that mps could then seize control. it was only a narrow defeat. with me now is henry newman, the director of open europe think tank and former labour adviser ayesha hazarika. nice to see you both. aisha, tonight labour will be disappointed that they weren't able to take control of they weren't able to take control of the process. push the government towards some of these indicative votes. it was very tight, just two votes in it. it wasn't just it was very tight, just two votes in it. it wasn'tjust hilary benn, it was a cross—p

yet former brexit secretary and brexiteer david davis voted for it last night.th 27 other countries. we are laughing because that protester said, brexit is not going well, is it? we are where we are and that is an annoying phrase, but we are. if the attorney general can clarify the situation, such that, especially the northern ireland dup mps are happy to vote for the withdrawal agreement, that would bring a lot of people back to support it. it is clearly better to leave with a deal and without a deal. rushanara ali. this is utterly shocking, it is a shambles. it is exasperating that theresa may doesn't seem to pay any attention to the defeats, there is a second big defeat against a deal, what does she think she is going to achieve by having another vote ? think she is going to achieve by having another vote? she think she will get it across the line. she will get it across the line. she will carry on running down the clock. she has lost control which is why there is a free vote today to rule out no—deal and i will certainly support really gets no—deal, there is

david davis surprisingly voted for this deal on tuesday.ll neverchange their mind, downing street's mind that will never change their mind, so she needs labour votes. this hilary benn amendment not passing helps that's likely because it means these labour mps don't have an alternative in the sense that they might have had, had they had the chance to go through other options. it looks better for her but is still very tricky. can she do it? may be, but it remains very hard. that 20, 25 figure, and 25 labour mps to back the deal is difficult when they have lots of reasons not to. katie is right, the decision in the last few minutes will encourage some of them to peer over the cliff of no deal and tuck in behind her. even then, there is quite a long way to go. the big unknown is that david liddington promised today that the commons could have its own opportunities to vote on things. we don't know what it means or when, but there will be some people who will hold out for that and continue to vote down a deal they might not otherwise have done. w

we saw some influential eurosceptic mps including david davis and zac goldsmith, whose father was a former dean diaries, they all moved their position and backed the brexit deal —— nadine dorries. their position and backed the brexit deal -- nadine dorries. if the eu next week say ok, you can have an extension but it is a long one and you can pay 1 extension but it is a long one and you can pay1 billion euros a month for that extension, that becomes difficult to sell to the electorate, doesn't it? a huge amount hinges on what it looks like because if it is guaranteed until the european elections, it is a short space of time for parliament to change anything substantively. ultimately it hasn't changed over the past couple of years, the only thing that has a majority of some sort of soft brexit so unless mps can try to figure out a way of getting that forward , figure out a way of getting that forward, unless theresa may can figure out a way of doing that in her party, nothing will change. you might geta her party, nothing will change. you might get a no deal and there may be a situation in

.a0pm and 11.30pm this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining us tonight are the broadcaster david daviesent for the guardian. the un says cyclone idai could be one of the worst weather—related disasters to hit the southern hemisphere. according to the president of mozambique, the country which was worst hit, the death toll could rise to a thousand. it's thought a 30—mile stretch of land is underwater — after the river buzi burst its banks. the storm made landfall near the port city of beira — north of the capital — with winds of over a hundred miles per hour. it then moved inland, carrying the floodwaters with it to malawi and zimbabwe, from where shingai nyoka reports. the cyclone has carved out a whole new landscape. rivers and waterfalls now flow where generations have lived. communities are separated and in need of help. this makeshift centre has only the basics. food, shelter, a few medicines for the injured. we've heard harrowing stories. some rescuers have told me of homes and also bodies being washed away in the rivers below, washed away to mozambique which is behind this mountai

even with potential leadership candidates like boris johnson and david davis on side, theresa may needsround labour and peace and as for the post brexit feature, and peas cannot agree on alternative plan yesterday but a softer brexit, sticking with the eu customs rules came close and a new referendum was not far off and that frightens some brexiteers! it came to see theresa may's deal as the best exit on offer, just not enough. so britain may end up back in brussels seeking more time. the eu gave theresa may until tomorrow to agree a deal if it wa nts a until tomorrow to agree a deal if it wants a brexit extension until may the 22nd to fix the details or if it fails, faced a tighter deadline and that could mean a new deal brexit and a fortnight. now they are hoping they can get mps behind the terms of divorce, the withdrawal agreement and that would be enough to get past april the 12th and to the third week in may to get the whole brexit deal past or else it would be two weeks to agree something else, a softer brexit, a referendum and even some say asap general election and that would m

but big beast brexiteers like david davis have come, reluctantly, into line, and borisjohnson is danglingr leadership in future talks. no prizes for guessing which leader he might have in mind. so mrs may still needs more support — could making the ultimate political sacrifice do the trick? the prime minister has been told privately by her most senior tory mp5, the so—called men in grey suits, that her support in the party is draining away. she's already had to promise that she'd go before her full term was over. tonight, everyone's wondering whether the prospect of her standing down so a new leader could mould britain's future after brexit may, just may, get her deal through and salvage something from brexit she could call a legacy to the country. i'm joined now by our — chris morris our reality check correspondent. it is like the grand national! national! it is hard to tell which of the three might come out on top of the three might come out on top of the three might come out on top of the options they will vote on later this evening, because we don't know how it is all going to play ou

something many of your colleagues combined for four long time, they clearly that you are so bad, david davis either. jeremy corbyn is basically in favour of a customs union deal which is similar to the deal set forward by the prime minister and it seems that right at the end of march people still seem to believe that they can reach different options for that they cannot all be right some want to remain in the eu, some want no deal, in the end we need to compromise and understand that the country is split right down the middle. and the only way of resolving this is to show some empathy. some have said to his mate should have realised earlier that a group in her party wanted no deal and they were never going to vote for anything that she managed to negotiate with the eu. should she have reached out to them earlier than she did? i think the prime minister has tried to do that and i think you are right and there is a problem with people pushing for no deal because no form of deal would appeal to them in that case. but also on the labour side, whatjeremy corbyn is describing and what the prime mi

so were two former brexit secretaries from mrs may s government — david davis and dominic raab.yone there was a man, it would seem. so what might happen this week? well theresa may is currently meeting her cabinet this morning to outline her strategy. she s giving a statement to parliament later today about the outcome of the eu emergency summit last week, although that already feels like weeks ago. she could bring forward another so—called meaningful vote on her brexit deal some time this week, maybe next week, who knows. remember, she still needs to convince 75 more mps to vote for her deal if she s going to get it through. and that s assuming that every mp that voted for it last time will still vote for it this time, which is farfrom certain. so its a huge task. there is also pressure for parliament to hold a series of so called indicative votes , to see if a majority of mps can agree on a brexit strategy. the options mps would vote on would include a softer form of brexit where we stay in the single market and the customs union, a second referendum, or cancelling brexit alto

david davis, it was very significant that they didn't want to put illinois and iowa in the same circuit. that would mean these two individuals wouldn't be nominated. lincoln wanted to nominate davis because davis had been his campaign manager in 1860. that's a political favor. and it's part of what's happening in the 19th century, this system of patronage and cronyism. andrew jackson did the same thing back in the 1830's. so that is why we end up with davis. and finally, stephen field. field, this is a brand-new seat on the court in that they add a 10th circuit, and therefore, a 10th justice. right? so, what happens is not only do they reorganize these circuits, which explains what is happening here. what happens here is that they add an extra circuit to deal with all of the population and issues of land titles law, issues of titles and so forth taking place out in california. california settled in the 1840's and 1850's with the 1849 goldrush. its population is growing, it needs to have its own circuit. so they had this circuit and they add a 10th member of the supreme court. finally, i
