the question is whether big ben will bong for brexit. time is up. ben will bong for brexit.bye! todayis today is a taster of what we can expect as we head through the coming week. it is wet and it is windy. we have seen strong winds and rain through northern ireland about here, it is going to be an improving story through the rest of the day. not only is it wet and windy but temperatures are above average for the time of year and that is because we are drawing up this mild air on strong south—westerly winds. the strongest of the winds in the warm sector. the winds for northern ireland and far north of scotland. to ease as this band of rain continues to clear south and east woods. still some heavy burst over the hills of cumbria and snowdonia. head of the rain, a lot of cloud but essentially dry. behind it, fresher conditions. widely for much of the uk we are looking at double digit temperatures. this evening and our band of rain continues its journey south and east woods. behind it the win start to ease a little, if you showwas will feed in and because temperatures will drop

half £1 million, a5,000 per bong? which is big ben. half £1 million, 45,000 per bong? don't want to do it. nevertheless, if it really is half £1 million and i have tabled some questions about that matter, then a 50,000 people gave £10 each, we could do it. i think this is such a historic moment in our island's story, it would be appropriate for the clock to chime just as it does on new year's eve, just as it does perfectly for remembrance sunday. this is voluntary, nobody will be forced to donate. let's see what the british public think. the crowdfunding website was launched to 7pm this evening, it is being headed up 7pm this evening, it is being headed up by 7pm this evening, it is being headed up by stand for brexit, they are using go find me and and as i was on my way down here, donations are coming in at more than one a minute. if anybody does want to donate, that is the web link they need. what is it? go fond me, dot—com, forwards big ben, bong for brexit. careful, christian might change it. this is to make an historic moment, not to pay for somebody's garden gnom

also: no big ben bongs for brexit, a peer called a truce.ple who have won the brexit debate should not be triumphalist. borisjohnson has that donald trump will produce a replacement for the iran nuclear deal. the comments came as the uk, france and germany accused tehran of breaching the terms of the agreement. the european allies which remain part of the troubled nuclear deal despite the us president's opposition said iran was meeting its commitments. it eases sanctions in return for iran agreeing to restrictions on its activity in an effort to ensure tehran did not acquire a nuclear weapon. in the commons, the foreign secretary told mps that the e3 referred the matter to the drm. he said they had no alternative. time and time again we've expressed our serious concerns to iran and urge them to come back to compliance. time and time again in its statements, and more importantly through its actions, it has as refused, undermining the very integrity of the deal. and flouting its international commitments. he said iran had a choice. the resume

and finally, an update on what some people are calling inevitably ‘bong gate‘.ated the idea of crowdfunding the half—million pounds it would cost to pay for the big ben bell to chime as we leave the eu at the end of this month. not everyone thinks it's a great idea. a statement from the commons authorities. is been a suggestion that the cost of striking the bell could be covered by donations made by the public. this would be an unprecedented approach. the house of commons has well—established means of voting through the expenditure required to allow it to function, and to preserve its constitutional position in relation to government. any novel form of funding would be consistent with principles of propriety and proper oversight of public expenditure. it seems to me with regard to big ben bongs, the method of people wish to pay for things that i think that should be considered as part of their public spiritedness rather than feeling that everything should always follow me the hard—pressed taxpayer, but then as a conservative, i don't think should always fall on

now, don't switch off because where we're going is ever so slightly past the bonging, or not bonging,we're going a few years into the future, where, according to the makers of one video game, things post—brexit are not going well. the game is the highly anticipated watch dogs: legion, in which makers ubisoft suggest that society has, shall we say, deteriorated a bit. marc cieslak was invited by ubisoft to their hq in toronto to take a very special look inside the game before the launch. this isn't the real piccadilly circus. none of this is real. come to think of it, i'm not even real. this is a virtual version of me reporting from inside a video game. ah, london! had a good run there for a while. watch dogs: legion imagines a dystopian vision of a post—brexit britain, a surveillance state governed by an oppressive regime. the player assumes the role of an activist and hacker who must recruit in—game characters to their cause and ultimately bring down the government. we need to recruit a resistance. legion‘s the third instalment in the popular franchise developed by video games compan

what's that sound to hear, if the distant bong that is telling us if the distant bong that is telling. it's an unsettled picture for the week ahead. with spells of weights and when the weather which could be disruptive and interspersed with something drier and quieter. here's what we have a strong and active jet stream which acts like a sort of conveyor belt bringing areas of low pressure in off the atlantic towards our shores, and those area of low pressure bring what and windy weather, but in between we will see something drier, quieter but looks fairly short—lived as we continue to see this areas of low pressure moving from the west. from there looks like it will start off on our quieter notes, and chillier start perhaps with the few patches of ice, some of us waking up to a touch of frost. does the click will be mostly dry and fine through the day and consistent really coastal showers but tend to fade away. a temperature sitting in around six to nine celsius. the cloud will increase though they are in the day with rain and strengthening winds pushing into the north and west. this

instead, the country is obsessed over whether big ben should bong on january 31. as you can see, it is under renovation and silent. the government says it won't pay for about to ring, so boris johnson, the prime minister, came up with his own idea. >> it costs 2500 pounds. >> very costly bong. >> and so we're working up the plan so that he that people can bong because there are some people that -- i haven't quite worked it out, but -- >> developing policy. >> reporter: and his plan no for crowd funding raised over 2,000 pounds and brexit supporters are clamoring for a vote in the house of commons. the house of commons commission though says accepting public funds could be, quote, unprecedented. on friday night when i the government released its plan for brexit night, it 345 no mentimaf big ben, instead a digital clock and an address from the prime minister will have to suffice. brexit supporters want a party in parliament square. so while it is unclear whether big ben will bong, there will certainly be a dance and a sing song. i'm anna stewart outside parliament.

make representations to the house of commons commission, whose decision this is, that big ben should bongary gave a sympathetic response. earlier, an snp mp took a slightly different tack when he asked him for some clarity. can the government confirm whether or not it is going to request for the chiming of big ben to mark 11pm on the 31st ofjanuary? because this is not going to be a moment the celebration for many people across the uk, it's going to be a moment of considerable concern, not least my constituents who are a citizens of or nationals of the european union. and perhaps what we should be asking on that side of the house if they do want to hear the bells chime is for whom the bell will toll? well, i welcome this late conversion from the snp to celebrating our exit and having big ben chiming. as he will know, a decision as to whether big ben should bong or not is a question for the house authorities, and i won't dare to step into such terrain. but the wider point, as i think the mood of the house has demonstrated, is this is a historic moment and many members of the house will wis
