it is significant because andrea leadsom isa significant because andrea leadsom is a committed brexiteerza party with the other brexiteers in the cabinet. she's obviously backing it. michael gove has decided to back it, presumably when he found out that no deal would mean water wouldn't come out of the taps, that presumably persuaded him. amazing what concentrates the mind, isn't it? allowed those brexiteers still in the cabinet kind of have to put their money behind it because the others have left. -- those brexiteers are still in the cabinet have to put their money behind it because the others have left. andrea leadsom said don't look at that deal, concentrate on the political declaration. even though that's not legally binding. exactly, that's not legally binding. exactly, that's not legally binding. exactly, that's not legally binding. and she said will sort out with the tricky —— sort out the tricky backstop with the technology when we get to the declaration. that's the promise. tricky times for the prime minister. not a great headline for her to be going to argentina off the back o

andrea leadsom, who's the leader of the commons, said there was "potential to improve" a draft deal before prime minister presents it to european leaders next week. mrs leadsom is among five brexit—supporting cabinet ministers said to be demanding significant changes. however, alterations to the draft have been described as "a fantasy" by another government minister. mrs may has been speaking to local conservative party members as she seeks to head off a possible vote of no confidence. this report from our political correspondent iain watson contains some flash photography. even in an era of political turmoil, the events of the past few days have been remarkable. this is a decisive step which enables us to move on and finalise the deal in the days ahead. on wednesday, theresa may announced she had the backing of her top team for a deal with the eu. is no dealjust a bluff? but by thursday, there were two cabinet resignations, including the loss of her second brexit secretary, and the prime minister's own position was under threat. this leading leave campaigner called for her to stand down.

he and four brexiteer colleagues penny mordaunt, andrea leadsom, chris grayling, and liam fox are expecteds for further changes to the prime minister's deal. the uk cannot be trapped in a permanent customs arrangements and it is very important we get clarity and improvement on that particular aspect. but others were dismissive. just because some cabinet ministers make demands of the prime minister that details will change is, ithink, fantasy. the reality of life is that we have a choice, which is to back this, which i think everybody should, because if we don't, we will probably go over the cliff edge having no deal at all. theresa may's fate is in the hands of her mps when they return to westminster next week. she has appealed to local party chairman to prop her up by a putting pressure on them to call off a challenge. we have been speaking to leading lights in local conservative parties, too, a limited snapshot of opinion. but while there seems to be little enthusiasm for theresa may's deal, there is little support for a leadership challenge. as one constituency party chairman said, "it'

michael gove and three other brexiteer cabinet ministers arejoining andrea leadsom in calling for furtherster's deal, though not yet for a change of prime minister. i'm totally supportive of the prime minister. i think she's doing a fantasticjob. though he could still be gearing up for some arguments behind closed doors. the eu aren't keen to unpick a 585—page withdrawal agreement, and some ministers believe it is unreasonable to ask. just because some cabinet ministers make demands of the prime minister, that the details are going to change is, i think, fantasy. but without any changes, this mp who voted to leave believes the prime minister may be ousted, and the deal will definitely be defeated. over the weeks to come, people are going to see that the deal that the european union have offered us, and which theresa may said is the best deal she's been able to secure, is simply infinitely worse than the option of moving to a clean, global brexit. so tonight, the prime minister is fighting both for her deal and for her leadership. and this is how some of britian‘s sunday morning papers are

andrea leadsom who's the leader of the commons, said there was "potential to improve" a draft deal, before the prime minister presents it to european leaders next week. those are the headlines. the former bbc newsreader richard baker has died. he was 93, and introduced the corporation's first ever television news bulletin, in 195a. david sillito looks back at his life. 1954 and the first—ever bbc television news bulletin began with the voice of richard baker. here is an illustrated summary of the news. it'll be followed with the latest film of events and happenings at home and abroad. in those early days, newsreaders were never seen because it was feared that our facial expressions might not always look impartial. and worse still that we might turn the news into a personality performance. richard baker — for more than a quarter of a century he helped define the calm, clear voice of bbc tv news. police reinforcements have been drafted into downing street denied as the crowd outside number 10 built up to about 300. good evening. and first the big fire... he was a presenter, rather than a jou

the likes of andrea leadsom still thinking perhaps about resigning, i leadsom still thinking perhapsning, lam not leadsom still thinking perhaps about resigning, i am not sure what another resignation would do at this stage. but yes, the deal is now in its box, on the table, what are they going to do with it? you mentioned the sun, a picture of the french president, macron gloating. what has he been saying? the sun has taken against the prime minister's deal. call it a desperate campaign, so they have very much taken a position on it. i think what they are doing is they are confusing electioneering. .. the is they are confusing electioneering... the french president is at a historic low in the polls. things are not going well in france, so it is not that unusual that he might do a bit of sabre rattling about how we want this or that. the point is that the withdrawal agreement, that has been signed off by 27 countries. there area signed off by 27 countries. there are a lot more stages to go with this. the next stage is to discuss what the future relationship will look like, and he is

andrea leadsom, the leader of the commons, before this idea that they could continue to try to negotiaterd with this deal and she has been backed by the arch brexiteers, chris grayling, liam fox, michael gove, and the international aids secretary, penny morden. and actually i think it is quite good that they are working with. the uncomfortable truth is that the eu have said categorically there is no more negotiation. negotiations aren't over until they're over, charlie, and she has still got time. the fact is if they can geta still got time. the fact is if they can get a better deal than it is going to be more likely to be got through parliament. the position cheating at the moment, i think she's going to struggle to get that brexit deal through parliament. his lot are going to support it because they will be shamelessly opportunistic and do everything they can to wreck the deal to get a general election. can i does but i wa nt general election. can i does but i want you, kevin. does that last dot on the labour party. how is it that given what has been going on people are not clamouring,

sources say their efforts are being co—ordinated by the leader of the commons, andrea leadsom, with thenging the agreement into something they consider "winnable and supportable". here's our political correspondent, iain watson. this weekend, theresa may will take to papers, television and social media to try and sell her brexit deal to the public. but she may have a tougher task selling it to her party. if 48 of her mps call for it, she will face a vote of no—confidence in her leadership. last night she called dozens of leading lights in local parties to try and persuade them to support her. and one of her allies has returned to the cabinet with this message. this is not a time for changing our leader. this is a time for pulling together, for making sure that we remember who we are here to serve and to help, the whole of the country. i worry sometimes that my colleagues are too concerned about the westminster bubble rather than keeping their eye on what ourjob is, to serve people. but other cabinet members are not quite as supportive. five leading leave campaigners including michael go

we have heard it again this weekend, five cabinet ministers including michael gove, andrea leadsom andtiation on the irish backstop. you just told me that your dress is midnight blue and it is nearly midnight. i share many reservations about this deal. i think it has two things that voters wanted in brexit, control of borders and our money back, sol wanted in brexit, control of borders and our money back, so i think it is good enough, but i think the time to raise objections was after chequers. to raise objections now and potentially throw this into chaos and say we want a better deal, as those five cabinet ministers and labour are saying, i think the wake—up will come when leaders gathered in europe but i think ministers will say to labour that theirdream is ministers will say to labour that their dream is a different thing and then they will have the real choice to vote this town and have the chaos ofa no to vote this town and have the chaos of a no deal. i think this bill will have a choppy time in parliament but still pass. in his view there would be nothing wrong with theresa may

yes, so this group of five, we understand that this includes andrea leadsom, liam fox, penny morden,x. there was regulation that some of them would have resigned but they have decided to stick with theresa may and they are staying in the cabinet, but what we understand as they want to have some changes to they want to have some changes to the deal that has been done with the european union. of course, the european union. of course, the european union. of course, the european union has indicated that it doesn't want to change anything in that deal. it is not in the market for that so difficult to see how thatis for that so difficult to see how that is going to happen. what we understand as one of the issues is around andrea leadsom perhaps thinking that there needs to be some change to the irish border issue of whether or not technology can be used in order to solve that issue. now, difficult to see, as i say, whether or not those changes gradually be permitted, and if they can't implement it, could we see more resignations? at the same time, we have obviously got backbench tory mps p

the leader of the commons, andrea leadsom. too were giving their first reactions to the draft agreement. and if theresa may was hoping for a warmer welcome there she was to be sorely disappaointed. the lords described it variously as a "dead parrot", a "humiliation" and "unacceptable". amid repeated calls for a second referendum, there was little support for mrs may among peers. labour's leader paraphrased oscar wilde. to lose one brexit secretary may be regarded as a misfortune, to lose two looks like carelessness. watching the statements in the other place, she is failing to unite parliament, with seemingly no majority for any course of action other than opposing no deal. so let's be clear, what is most important, the prime minister is failing the people of our country. this agreement document bears all the hallmarks of monty python's dead parrot. it is bereft of life. the current deal has zero chance of passing through the commons and we know, of course, that the commons would never vote for a ruinous no deal outcome, remai

i know there was a group of five cabinet ministers, that the leader of the house of commons, andrea leadsomgo back to the prime minister and states that we have to get a particular change to this deal not just because it is what they believe to be the right thing but because they believe it might be the only way that this can get through parliament. as katya suggested, the idea that we could renegotiate the whole thing, that for theresa may should want to reopen this deal, in a sense it seems that is for the birds. but without any changes, it may well just not birds. but without any changes, it may welljust not be possible to get this through the house of commons and that, of course, would be a huge, huge problem for theresa may. and it is really difficult to see how that could happen without there being some very, very dramatic change with the obvious possibility of her being forced to leave office. laura, many thanks. laura kuenssberg in westminster. the chief constable of northern ireland has rejected claims that threats to security at the border with the republic are being exaggerated.
