well, the honourable gentleman will be interested to know that, only last week, i met baroness newloveboth colleagues and the ministry ofjustice and across government understand that the journey for victims in cases like that can be an extremely tough one. that is well understood. that is why the agencies are now working together to ease that journey. i don't pretend the task is easy or that the job is anywhere near finished, but the commitment is there, and we will continue to work to support victims of rape. mr speaker, i don't dispute the solicitor general‘s worthy intentions in this, but we have a situation here where two in 100 reported rapes are reaching prosecution. it's a quite appalling statistic. in the first instance, can i say to the solicitor general that he must acknowledge the impact that spending cuts have had on the ability to investigate these offences? and secondly, he should acknowledge that piecemeal change is no longer enough. the time has come for drastic action. with respect to the honourable gentleman, he must not forget that independent prosecutors have to app

a big thank you to my guests this evening, james rampton, and baroness helen newlove. we nt there were fireworks when these two went head—to—head in new york last week that as anthonyjoshua glenn continues in the heavyweight division, he gave some fascinating insight into the amount of research is carried out on his next opponent. i watched his press conferences, his face—offs. i listened to all the boxing channels opinions, i watched as fights. normally i don't listen, it distracts you, but i know him more than a note any other fighter. ijust don't more than a note any other fighter. i just don't want to slip up against him. that is the banana skin factor. i was called up. will try to negotiate. he fought in the states. ifought a negotiate. he fought in the states. i fought a champion and after that, we try to negotiate. try to negotiate again after five minutes. i can't afford to make any mistakes. with miller, ijust had to do more research. anybody else, it was nothing, you know what i mean. he fought parker andi know what i mean. he fought parker and i thought he d

at 11:30, we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers james rampton and baroness newlove with us for that. good evening. in a significant development in the brexit debate, jeremy corbyn says labour is now prepared to back another referendum to prevent what he calls a damaging tory brexit. labour says that if its own conditions for a brexit deal are not accepted, including a comprehensive customs union with the eu, the party would then support a fresh referendum. but, as our chief political correspondent vicki young explains, it's not clear what the terms of the referendum would be. her report does contain some flashing images. even though that is what many labour party members want. tonight he has taken a step in that direction, his allies say he is trying to keep the country together. whilst we have respected the result of the referendum and we have been trying to make sure that we leave in a sensible way, with this prime minister, it is really very difficult indeed. you would campaign to remain if we got to the point? of course i would campaign to remain, because i thin

with me are james rampton, features writer at the independent, and baroness helen newlove, the victimsow's front pages are already in. the news that labour leader jeremy corbyn will offer the public a further referendum on brexit if his preferred plan doesn't make its way through the commons is the is main story. the ft says the move "reshapes the brexit debate", arguing that pro—remain labour mps and party members forced his hand. meanwhile in the conservative party, the daily mail reports that as many as 15 ministers are ready to quit, with theresa may now ready to rule out leaving the eu without a deal to keep them on side. "fabruary" says the front page of the sun, after the uk basked in its hottest winter day ever. a picture of karren brady makes the front page of the telegraph, following her resignation as chairwoman of sir philip green's arcadia, mps have called for her to disclose what she knew about accusations that mr green sexually and racially harassed staff — allegations which he strong denies. and the guardian has olivia colman on its front page — they call her the ‘oscar
