the andrew neil special was initially scheduled to start at 7:30pm and last a full 90 minutes. within hours, however, it was scaled back, first to an hour at 8pm, and then changed again to a half—hour special at 8:30pm, which delayed the start of the apprentice. millions of people tuned in, but was the wall to wall coverage really necessary? james patterson from essex wasn't sure. there were many instances throughout the week when bbc news did precisely that. but malcolm hyatt still felt there was too much focus on theresa may and brexit. i was due to play golf, so intended to watch my local bbc breakfast news and weather at 8:30am, for the regional forecast. if it is settled tonight, she can go to the european council tomorrow... instead i had to watch a guy in downing street in a woolly hat setting up a lectern. i therefore surmised that the temperature was low. after much subsequent discussion, mainly of what would happen if mrs may lost the vote, i gave up and ventured out, prepared for all weathers. in the evening, i hear mrs may won the vote, but there is now much discuss

andrew neil had been blinded in the war.ed six months after the armistice and should have had a military headstone. for nearly a century he lay in an unmarked grave. the problem was that his death certificate said jacksonian epilepsy, but it was not attributing that to war injuries. we knew that he died as a result of the great war. then sometime later we got his pension disability card. and this is it. same cause of death, but in small letters, "due to active service." you know, the man gave his eyes and his life for his country, and now he has got something back to recognise that. my mum and my aunties said my grandad was blinded in the first world war. never knew anything else. to see the stone now, especially when you drive up the road and it gleams, it is just fantastic. sergeant neil's story is one of many researched by the northumbria world war i commemoration project, a seven year community volunteer remembrance endeavour. john youll from county durham had won the victoria cross in the italian alps in the summer of 1

the special programme on bbc one and the bbc news channel beginning at 7:30pm with andrew neil.ling me that whether they work remain or leave, they are worried. uttering the refrain, we just want this to be got on with full story just want brexit to happen. i am joined full story just want brexit to happen. iamjoined by full story just want brexit to happen. i am joined by brian and irene out and about in worcester city centre today." can i ask whether you were voting to leave or remain? remain. what you make of the latest developments, this vote of confidence in theresa may? latest developments, this vote of confidence in theresa may7m beggars belief how anybody would think it is a good time to enter into such a thing. who is going to be the big, white knight to come forward and say that they can negotiate with europe when they have made it clear that they are not up for moving? you think it is playing politics at the moment. absolutely. i cannot say anything else but. at this late stage. that is what i keep hearing. this is actually late to do this. late to be doing anything l

around the uk — plus prime minister's questions — let's join our colleagues at politics live, with andrew neilinster on the day theresa may faces a vote of no confidence in her leadership from her own side. i will contest that fate with everything i've got. a change of leadership in the conservative party will put our country's future at risk and create uncertainty when we can least afford it. enough tory mps want the prime minister gone to have triggered that fate, only tory backbenchers will get to vote. do they have not have in mrs may? the result should be declared by hpm. the campaigning is already in full swing. it just lead to itjust lead to exasperation at the end that she was determined to follow the wrong horse. we have got the prospect of 12 hours of middle—aged men coming on shows like this, slagging off the prime minister. and before that vote the pm will of course face jeremy corbyn at prime minister's questions. we'll bring you that live in an hour's time. the consenus here in westminster as of 11.15 this morning is that mrs may will win tonight's vote. but the consensus is not

cnn's jeff zeleny is at joint base andrews, where the plane just touched down. and jeff, my understanding is that neiler president george w. bush are on the plane and that other members of the family are on the tarmac. >> jake, that is correct. i can see standing here, watching the plane is former florida governor jeb bush and marvin bush, as well. they and their families and really dozens of former bush campaign staffers from the white house residence to the west wing to the staff of air force one, to the u.s. secret service, standing here in formation, watching as special air mission 41 makes a final turn here. and for president george w. bush, this is his first time aboard this airplane in nearly a decade, of course, since leaving washington. but as you see this, the special air mission 41 make a final turn here, jake, i can tell you, it's a crisp but rather warm december day. a clear blue day for flying. and everyone has their iphones out, from every family member i can see to other staffers, watching what is about to happen here. you see that presidential hearse sitting there, but the casket is g

the east coast members of the family will be at andrews to greet him, so it is neil bush and his wife maria. former president george w. bush will be on the plane but meeting them at the air field. and a lot of the grandchildren we saw in the picture. pearce bush, ashley, neil's children. so many of them are going to be in that motorcade. i just want to go back to the secret service for a moment, because they're the honorary pallbearers. but we saw something that was unexpected. they actually carriy eied his ct out of the funeral home and put it into the hearse. and that was something special that bush 41, as i call him, wanted. it was in honor of his relationship with them. they were very, very close. some other details that we're learning. we now know who will give the eulogies. at the national cathedral, as we have been reporting, it will be his son, former president george w. bush. it will also be his dear friend, former canadian prime minister brian mulroney. they were very close. alan simpson, former republican senator from wyoming who is not only a dear front, but i think the tw

that andrew, where do you think this is going? i think we will be in it for a while, neil. one of the things that jumped out at me at one of the fillings that mueller did last week in connection with paul man for f s case he was in the grand jury as late as november. if mueller has a grand jury going he is contemplating charging more people. i don't think he's wrapped up yet. i don't think we know the parameters of the report. one of the things i caution people about this is that mueller son his own time table. he doesn't really care what is convenient for the political system, the political calendar. i think he did kind of stay, lay low in the tall grass in the unrurunup to the midterm electi. i think he's on his own hook beyond that. >> i wonder the definition of collusion here. even taking to the russians about business interested. say you're building a trump tower in moscow. it never comes to pass. is that collusion? it turns out in the end the president and candidate trump knicks the idea knicks the tower. didn't go to moscow. at that time for that particular project.
