borisjohnson, boris johnson, writing borisjohnson, writing the telegraph, that is what he does, to voicehis week, he has his cabinet meeting. we are all watching these extremely closely to see she can get some of deal with cabinet so she can propose this to brussels. it feels like every week is billed as a crunch week. this is another potential crunch week. there was talk about a cabinet meeting being pencilled in today. tomorrow, it's a standard cabinet meeting. standard but not, withjo standard cabinet meeting. standard but not, with jo johnson standard cabinet meeting. standard but not, withjojohnson resigning at the end of last week. he was very vocal, as many have been. it's the norm. the papers are full of everybody‘s views. where are we in terms of this backstop idea that she is trying to get approval forward in her cabinet. the concern is, it will lock us into a customs union which is what borisjohnson is implying. borisjohnson has said it is to her, that she does not want us to be locked in. theresa may knows she can't negotiate this with brussels. really, it's gridlock. this ba

jojohnson — brother of former foreign secretary borisjohnson and a remain voter — said the uk is on the of the biggest crisis since the second world war, and that the final deal should be put to the people in another referendum and in the last few minutes — the dup leader arlene foster has said her party couldn't support the government's current proposals on brexit — she accuses theresa may of breaking promises. we'll have the latest from westminster and we'll be hearing from mrjohnson about why he's resigned. the other main stories on bbc news at 5pm. the prime minister and the french president, emmanuel macron, jointly lay a wreath at the thiepval memorial as part the first world war. of ceremonies marking 100 years since the end of the first world war. a terror attack in melbourne — a somali man stabs three people, one fatally. i , nevertheless, iwaited , nevertheless, i waited for my chance and they have a place for me. carey mulligan and jake gyllenhaal play a couple in crisis in the 1960s in "wildfire", find out what mark kermode thought of that and the rest of this week's release

borisjohnson very much with his brotherjojohnson on borisjohnson very much with his brotherjo johnsone prime minister indicates she would be prepared to agree to northern ireland remaining within eu single market regulations. the chancellor philip hammond has insisted the government won't do anything that would threaten the union. well, let's look at the issues raised in that report further: i'm joined byjon tonge — professor of british and irish politics at the university of liverpool, he often writes for the belfast telegraph. this is a moving story. as ever. let's stay with the border and the lea ked let's stay with the border and the leaked letter and what this may mean. what is sure interpretation of where this debate has gone today? —— law. the prime minister wants to talk about a uk wide customs territory to the dup but that is not good enough for the dup because they also want reassurance that there will be a single regulatory uk wide market and owed divergences and the extra checks —— and no divergences and no extra checks on goods going from northern ireland to great britain

do you agree with borisjohnson that the deal, the d raft borisjohnson that the deal, the draft agreementhe eu because we would have some control over the rules?” in the eu because we would have some control over the rules? i can hear the great man's dulcet tones about three yards away at a competitive station and you can follow the ask him ina station and you can follow the ask him in a moment but i think what the government is negotiating isn't delivering an era friend and results to leave the european union. remaining in the eu isn't on the cards because that would be abandoning a democratic vote, reinforced by a general election where the labour party and conservative party said that the result of the referendum would be expected and the lib dems, who wanted to overturn it, saw their vote share decline. do you agree with some in the cabinet that leaving the eu is the most important thing, in march, we must leave and we can sort out the future relationship then? the backstop doesn't allow us to leave the customs union without the permission of the eu. it is a less ability to leave unde

borisjohnson spent paralysed quite a bit the country. paralysed quite a bit the country. borisjohnson spent a lot of money on water cannon and then couldn't use it. particularly where protesters singled out the police. he says there is no room for this violence in the republic. he is in no mood to back down, the president. this is a very serious test. a very difficult one. the sunday telegraph, long school reports are burdensome to teachers. i don't know. a lot of pa rents to teachers. i don't know. a lot of parents like to get that report. he preferred to get the name of your child right. you suspect it's been copied and pasted. the only thing i would admit to an air is i went through my school reports, and i have to say, i read them all. my mother was doing some clearing out. what is extraordinary, i must admit, there were some things about, certain subjects, which is actually become true. to do with journalism, at cetera. the teachers have spotted at cetera. the teachers have spotted a few things. it says there is limited evidence tha

it was the usual borisjohnson rhetoric, some of it amusing.els fudge. he said any deal along those lines would be appalling and he raised the prospect of britain being in vassalage to the eu. the slight flaw in borisjohnson's article for the # newspaper is that he is attacking a deal which the minister has not done. and she is not going to be presenting a deal to the cabinet tomorrow. there will of course be a discussion on progress with the european union. there will be a discussion on how far away britain will be from a deal and whether there could be a special summit or not. and also an update on no deal preparations as well. but there is not a blueprint of a deal to be presented to the cabinet for rubber—stamping. so boris johnson presented to the cabinet for rubber—stamping. so borisjohnson is attacking something which does not exist, and that is a crucial point. not only does the deal not exist, but i am being told by people inside number ten that it is a deal that the prime minister would not do. so going back to what adam fleming was s

|j borisjohnson or remainer like amber rudd could do that.hunt. there is a lot of unhappiness at dominic raab's running away at this moment. possibly that i think he has behaved with honour in that he has behaved with honour in that he attempted to shift the government position and are tempted to say that the cabinet should try again. position and are tempted to say that the cabinet should try againm position and are tempted to say that the cabinet should try again. if one of these people emerged, how would they have a mandate to go back and do this next negotiation more effectively? in a sense they would have inherited, the second conservative prime minister in succession who has come in part way through, and they would be taking on this challenge. the public is still divided. do they need a general election or a referendum?” divided. do they need a general election or a referendum? i think if the deal passes, which i am sceptical about its passing, but if it does, it will then have such moralforce and it does, it will then have such moral f

borisjohnson boris johnson unimpressed about borisjohnson unimpressed about the d raft borisjohnson unimpressedgathering. that is what irks it offers. when you think about it already, we lost the jobs of the european banking authority, we lost the medicines agencyjobs, good paying jobs in london, who in their right mind would prevent economic suicide to the extent that brexit is? this is about providing leadership. it is about recognising that we were sold in that referendum, it was mentioned earlier. we should be collectively ashamed about the way be referendum was held in 2016. people simply did not know what they were voting for and we have a prime minister that is trying to force through brexit and if we look at what is happening, no iam glad if we look at what is happening, no i am glad because of the parliament, that we have a meaningful vote at the end of the process but the government and the prime minister, is trying to stop members of parliament laying down amendments that we can vote on ahead of the meeting. what a disgrace, what an affront to democracy and i say this to theresa may,

david davis, and borisjohnson, one—time foreign secretary.secretary. i think that borisjohnson‘s credibility certainly with the general public and amongst the tory grassroots is actually falling. at eds as the mark. the implication from the poll you were talking about, is that people actually don't like this level of disloyalty. there is a recognition that theresa may, however bad you think the deal is, is actually doing a reasonable job and she is doing it with an enormous amount of grace and depression just on the work load a low. these grinning buffoons don't stand a chance. they don't seem very popular with tory mps either, it is unlikely that we get to the finishing line, to candidate to put before the tory membership. we should point out there is a long way to go before any of that does or doesn't happen. the mail on sunday has on their front page, an exclusive interview with lord lester tier found guilty page, an exclusive interview with lord lester tierfound guilty by page, an exclusive interview with lord lester tier found guilty by

increasingly people are campaigning, borisjohnson here, increasingly people are campaigning, boris johnsonigning, borisjohnson here, for us to find a way without causing a diplomatic crisis of some sort to get her safely out of pakistan and to the uk. there's been an offerfrom italy. for me, while this is an individual case that is horrific, if there is a way for us to help her, thatis there is a way for us to help her, that is essential. the wider question of religious freedom, not just for christians, there's plenty of places in the world where muslims are persecuted, a variety of people, we have to make the case for religious freedom and the commonwealth ought to stand up for pretty basic values like that. pakistan is a member of the commonwealth and they‘ re just pakistan is a member of the commonwealth and they're just not making progress. i hope we do offer this woman refuge here. let's be clear, the subject of the mail front page is boris writing to the home office, but actually you get this lady safely to britain, but what about the british embassy in pakistan? we have seen the cro

and now borisjohnson has has got to be compromise.bbish. so where are we in this whole brexit process ? where are we in this whole brexit process? i am where are we in this whole brexit process? iam meant where are we in this whole brexit process? i am meant to offer foresight, insight and hindsight, and all those weighty things but frankly i haven't got the foggiest idea what will happen next. anybody who claims that they do is talking bobbins. if the government going to get a deal that it can agree on with the european union? who knows? probably... slashed possibly. and can it get it through the commons if it gets to a big photo couple of weeks later? probably not would be my best guess. —— a big vote a couple of weeks later. i don't know and nobody does know and there is an awful lot at stake. thank you. so bobbins is the outcome? definitely bobbins! thank you. 31 people have lost their lives in the most destructive wildfires in californian history. 228 people remain unaccounted for and more than a quarter of a million others have

of course we now know that borisjohnson plan.. of course we now know that borisjohnson and david davis walked out over the deal. borisjohnson is calling on cabinet ministers to mutiny. robert, do you think that is what they should be doing?” wouldn't want to be in the position of telling cabinet members what they should be doing. what is very clear is that a great number of people from borisjohnson to david davis and of course me have a great number of concerns about the direction of travel laid out on the chequers. and i would ask the government, as i have been doing sincejuly, to look atan have been doing sincejuly, to look at an alternative way that secures the democratic accountability of our country going forward. what we have seen country going forward. what we have seen is that there are real concerns on the remains side of the argument. there was a resignation last week of the person calling for a referendum. is that a real possibility?” the person calling for a referendum. is that a real possibility? i think it is. i don

, although he it is indicative of the fact that borisjohnson, although he remains very popular amongsticular pop up —— popular among tory mps. they would fill the hibi candidates are. it reflects the reality that the current thinking in westminster is far from clear that boris would get onto a leadership ballot —— they would feel to the candidates. onto a leadership ballot —— they would feel to the candidateslj think would feel to the candidates.” think i seem a very aware of that. if only they could change the leadership rulesjust to make clear if you are popular with activists you would get on the ballot, hint, hint. these things do change very quickly. in westminster uehara one minute and down the next minute. it could easily swing back in his favour —— could easily swing back in his favour — — you could easily swing back in his favour —— you are up one minute. could easily swing back in his favour -- you are up one minute. the conclusion from the sun is that boris probably not prime minister, david cameron possibly foreign secretary. boris will have a go, maybe, if he thinks he can

the former foreign secretary borisjohnson has already declared that he would vote against any deal thatuld vote against any deal that theresa may reaches. we are going to stay in the customs union on this deal and effectively in large parts of the single market and that means that it is vassal state stuff. for the first time in a thousand years this parliament will not have a say over the laws that govern this country. it is a quite incredible state of affairs. it will mean we're having to accept rules and regulations from brussels over which we have no say ourselves. it is utterly unacceptable to anybody who believes in democracy, it is not right way forward. and the kicker is not only are we going to remain in the customs union and large parts of the single market, but also we will not have protected our precious union. if you look at what they have agreed today, and again the caveat is look at the report, it is also accepted that there must be customs and regulatory checks down the irish sea between great britain and northern ireland which currently do not exist and for the first sin

and the top story in the uk: the leading brexiteer, borisjohnson,

that many people in britain who support what's called a hard brexit, and i can think people like borisjohnsonign secretary, who you know well, jacob rees mogg and others, they describe the deal that has been done by theresa may as a form of capitulation, a form of surrender. they use this word "vassalage" to indicate that the eu will retain power and control over many aspects of britain's economy and britain's life, with britain having no say in the future at the eu table. can you, as a pole — and of course, the poles have their own scepticism about elements of the eu — can you understand the concern that is in britain today? we have been responding, i have also personally invested a lot of my time in this process to make the process really as friendly as possible as a process, of separation of two sides that have had times in the past and would like also to have a very deep, close relationship in the future, i think we have to maintaine this spirit, but also what we could hear and i would say in particular from the british politicians very often, the comments which were very far from the rea

minister was my deal, but i expect boris johnson will get a minister was my deal, but i expect borisjohnsont a better reception when he comes to speak here this afternoon. the question being asked, how stable is the confidence in the agreement? could the dup be prepared to pull down the government? listen to this from sir jeffrey donaldson, the dup‘s chief whip. in northern ireland the democratic unionist party is not put off by the notion that we would fight an election on the basis we wa nt fight an election on the basis we want the best deal for the union, for the united kingdom and for our economy, and at the moment this does not represent what we believe is the best deal. so, sirjeffrey donaldson making it clear the dup would not be afraid of a general election if that is what this resulted in. they have been looking further afield than westminster at this conference. they see themselves in the same camp as gibraltar in terms of unionism and retaining the link with the uk, which is that the heart of their politics. today we heard from a minister in the gibraltar government, the ministe

look who's become an ally — borisjohnson in belfast to lend his support.nce and supply agreement keeping jeremy corbyn out of downing street, he said. it is vital that we keep this partnership going and we keep this confidence and supply arrangement going and that we're not so complacent as to abandon the government of this country to a man whose avowed policy is to break up this country. if the backstop is used, northern ireland would remain fixed to eu rules, even after the rest of the uk goes its own way. many northern ireland businesses are supporting the deal, putting them at odds with the dup, who insist it undermines the integrity of the uk. i think that's an adamant that no one in the business community in northern ireland accepts. it is seldom you see unanimity on anything in northern ireland and when you find every business and organisation is telling you something different, i think the dup should take cognizance of that. never before has this party been so centre stage. they have been fired up by borisjohnson and know they have the backing of t

both the canadian prime minister and the uk's former foreign secretary, borisjohnson have called foribi's release has led to violent demonstrations by religious conservatives in pakistan. wages have grown at their fastest rate in ten years, according to figures from the office for national statistics. they show average earnings rose by 3.2 per cent in the three months to september compared with the same period last year. but after taking inflation into account, they're still growing only modestly — by less than one per cent. and there's been a small rise in the number of people out of work. our economics correspondent andy verity has the details. at britain's biggest supplier of water softeners here in woking, business is flowing in, but there is a blockage in the pipeline — the labour market. its products are in demand but it has found it harder and harder to get the skilled people it needs to do the work, which means it's not expanding as fast as it might. for a growing business like this one, the challenge isn'tjust the traditional one of finding the sales, it's finding the staff

proper brexit, the sort of brexit boris johnson wants, or we a proper brexit, the sort of brexit borisjohnsonly way of resolving this now, because i think her deal will fail because in the end it will satisfy no one. it's only succeeded in uniting people in opposition to it. tony blair speaking earlier. there has been lots of speculation about the prime minister could stay on if this vote goes down in the house of commons in a few weeks' time. i suppose it depends how much the deficit is that the prime minister. jeremy hunt has been speaking this morning and he is saying she possibly could stay on the other side of that vote. of course, what some people within the cabinet don't wa nt some people within the cabinet don't want is a sort of vacuum at the top when britain is facing such a dire situation, not really having a deal 01’ situation, not really having a deal or knowing where we are going. jeremy hunt saying is entirely possible bid prime minister could stay on at the other side of that vote. she was asked about this on the bbc this week and did at that question. but some support from je

i spoke to borisjohnson.t the deal, even though we aren't there yet, is a chronicle of aren't there yet, is a chronicle of a death foretold, saying that we would be a vassal state, staying in large parts of the single market and customs union and that he would vote against it. others came out and gave their version. they are being very fissiparous stop what is happening is that other cabinet ministers who have an unhappy about the direction of travel have gone in and they have a big decision to make. if they aren't happy, are they going to resign? it is a big moment also for theresa may and she knows that she'll have to get it through parliament. the thing she'll be hoping is that people will look at the alternative. if they think it is i'io the alternative. if they think it is no deal, that may focus the minds of enough of them. when i interviewed borisjohnson asking him his alternative, he said we need to get alternative, he said we need to get a transition agreement, which is pa rt of a transition agreemen

borisjohnson, darling of the right. and amber rudd, the remainder. been going on at westminster and talking about a leadership contest that hasn't really... which we don't always leaving a going to happen. really... which we don't always leaving a going to happenm really... which we don't always leaving a going to happen. it is also very funny because we have the top five pictured here but if you look at the copy, it names several other people, even the attorney general, geoffrey cox, they say. also penny mordant. people thought she might resign but she is currently in cabinet. i do wonder whether all this might help theresa may a little bit because given that there are so many people who to be leader, if the brexiteers to get their way and they managed to oust theresa may with a confidence vote this week or next week and we enter a leadership contest, what people have talked about the idea of a ca reta ker have talked about the idea of a caretaker leader so they could agree on one person to step in, perhaps david davis, who is keen to put himself fo

when you have borisjohnson talking about a mythical figure of £350 million, which will not materialisethe independent, the labour shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell speaking to our political editor. basically, he implied, after the grim post— brexit forecasts, and from the point of view of the prime minister, she's doing her bid to persuade mps to vote on her deal, john mcdonald saying it will go the other way. —— john mcdonnell. john mcdonald saying it will go the other way. -- john mcdonnell. there are two angles to this. the labour party are playing catch up here. it is dreadful given the state of the tory party, that they should be paying such catch up. it is opportunistic and predictable they would want a general election should theresa may's deal not get through parliament but failing that, they are calling for a second referendum and if you speak to the average man on the street, people are sick to death of the politicians and brexit and this opportunistic pointscoring really is not helping... you do not think there's a case for a second referendum bass i personally do not have a s

bringing up what your son, borisjohnson, said, in relation to...s made from the ‘70s onwards to try and bring down birth rates around the world. so, you and i possibly would disagree on immigration for different reasons. i‘d be more on the brexiteer side on immigration than you would be but that is because i speak as an environmentalist. thank you. no, that‘s not fair. we have to split. i‘m not a chap who believes that women should pay for their lunch. i‘m putting that in there. that ought to cover it. i really love that. d‘you know, i‘m thinking about the date palm is really under threat, so and thinking of setting a campaign called save the date. save the date, right. right. we obviously come at it from different backgrounds and that‘s been part of the interesting... i‘ve got some irish in my family. have you? oh well, we should meet up in wicklow, i‘ll take you on a walk. that could be our second date! save the date, save the date! what about 29th march 2019? yeah, i‘ll see you there. oh, i can‘t, i‘m washing my hair! oh, that‘s a good one! all

it was voted leave, spearheaded by borisjohnson.at it was a decisive result. 52, 48 in terms of%. 17 million over 16 million. in the end, the public voted decisively to leave the public voted decisively to leave the eu and that decision must be honoured. brexit is the talking point when it comes to economic policy and monetary policy as well. the governor of the bank of england and his military policy committee decided to keep rates on hold. everyone was hanging on everywhere when it came to brexit and those comments were picked up on the front page of the telegraph and the boat to make business section today. page of the telegraph and the boat to make business section todaym is because mark carney, the george clooney of banking, he said the bank may actually have to raise interest rates if the uk leaves with no deal. he says the research as that no deal brexit could cause a big squeeze on the economy's ability to produce good creating an imbalance between supply and manned and could force prices up. the bank of england's key target

and the top story in the uk: the leading brexiteer, borisjohnson, has said the government is on the vergef total surrender in the brexit negotiations. in a column for tomorrow's daily telegraph, he urges the cabinet to mutiny. now on bbc news live to singapore for asia business report. 30 billion us dollarfrenzy. alibaba hits another retail high. and from bad boy to businessman, we catch up with celebrity chef marco buea light at this new singapore restaurant. good morning asia, hello world. it is monday, the start of a brand—new trading week. that is join us for another session of asia business report. we start with china's alibaba report. we start with china's aliba ba and it report. we start with china's alibaba and it pulled off a record $30 billion of sales on single state. the, strahan saw its sales reaches new high, but it's growth dropped to its lowest ever read. that is correct. we are seeing the same thing in the region, a slight dip in the total volume of sales. and it is still a large increase. we are talking about 237% increase competitive previous week. as the event that sur

to gaggle in the house of commons, and boris johnson mps to gaggle in the house of commons, and borisjohnsonw by and they all got very excited and upset. that was reacting to the irish broadcaster, trying to get the reaction for us to balance the cabinet as they go into numberten, looking at balance the cabinet as they go into number ten, looking at twitter and seeing others being really upset about the deal, and colour their view going in. it is probably an example of getting a retaliation in first. no one has resigned, is that right. no one has seemed to resign so right. no one has seemed to resign so far. it is very interesting though, as chris was saying those ha rd though, as chris was saying those hard brexit or is in the tory party thought it was incredibly important to get their version of what the deal meant out as quickly as possible so there was this rushing about to be on the telly for an hour and then at downing street, they got some of their supporters to appear on the tv and saying brilliant, at last. we have progress. to see how it will go tomorrow, will the momentum be with

let's see what borisjohnson has been saying in the last few moments. looking at twitter.nion backstop would not be temporary, but the minimum basis for our future trading relationship with high alignment and eu control. this means super canada impossible. he is quoting sabine weya nd impossible. he is quoting sabine weyand in the times, and it says in his tweet that the cabinet must live up his tweet that the cabinet must live up to its responsibilities and stop this deal. so, borisjohnson, the former foreign secretary, adamant as other that this deal should not go through cabinet, let alone through parliament in a meaningful vote. joining me now at westminster is the conservative mp mark faswell from the erg. i've not been privy to the 500 pages of text on this. i did the lisbon treaty which was 300 but i have not seen the final. we have a goodidea have not seen the final. we have a good idea from all of the leaks and hence what is in it. and if it is giving away £39 billion of british taxpayers money for nothing guaranteed a return that is unacceptable. if it means as y

meanwhile the former foreign secretary and prominent leave campaigner borisjohnson has been tweeting, the uk is "doomed to remain in the customs union and under brussels' regulatory control". this morning the brexit secretary, dominic raab, spoke to reporters as he left for the cabinet meeting — he said talks are moving forward. do you expect to reach a deal by the end of tomorrow? we are making progress. we'll be briefing the cabinet today? i will discuss that... is there a mutiny in the tory party? theresa may...? let's get the thoughts now of our assistant political editor, norman smith, whojoins me now from downing street. so, we are within touching distance, are we, norman? well, touching distance could be fingertips or it could be a bargepole away and we really don't know at the moment. what we do know is the mood music, the noises coming from senior ministers, which seems to be increasingly upbeat, describing last night's late—night talks as positive, very optimistic, cautiously hopeful, all that sort of stuff. and it does seem they have now stripped back the area of disagreeme

no, they are banking on a series of fantasies of removing the prime minister and putting borisjohnsonarge to change the weather in brussels. you can have a no—confidence vote in theresa may tomorrow and she continues to be prime minister until there is a new tory leader and they will not be a coronation in the tory party because the tory party is fundamentally split on these issues. that entails a one month or two—month campaign for the tory leadership while theresa may stays in downing street and continues to do what she can to get the deal through. in 2017, theresa may did not want to have a televised debate during the general election. she didn't want to be seen giving jeremy corbyn the oxygen of publicity and putting him on a par with the prime minister. it is getting him into a situation in saying you don't like my deal, what is your deal? we are leaving injust 100 my deal, what is your deal? we are leaving injust100 days, what have you got? what will you go away and negotiate with the eu in less than three months? is that nothing? you can talk all you like about what you would l

was going to be able to get falling on the side of the real brexiteers i suppose, the likes of borisjohnsonsuppose, the likes of boris johnson and jacob rees—mogg. he has always been on that side. so ina way he has always been on that side. so in a way these comments are no surprise but they are unhealthy for what theresa may is trying to do at the moment. in the city of london, what we been through the last couple of weeks, what's the feeling with regards to that decision in december? i think it's interesting when we look at yesterday that sterling didn't move tall. we would have expected some move with the deal agreed in europe over the weekend and there wasn't much movement. it went up a little over the course of the day. i think it shows this deal has a long way to go. all right, sophie, thank you so much. let's stay with the president. us president donald trump says he is likely to go ahead with an increase on tariffs currently imposed on chinese goods at the start of 2019. let's go to our asia business hub, where rico hizon has been following the story. lovely to see you,. sally! this

when you have people like borisjohnson getting the front pages of the telegraph and other papers...rites for. that he writes for, explaining why it is such a bad deal, knew how people in parliament unilaterally from all other party saying it is a bad deal conserver whether you are conservative or labour, it is very difficult to rise above that noise i think when there isn't anybody really speaking up for it. staying with the telegraph. police face calls on mental health issues every two minutes, having to pick up the pieces when people are not caught by the health service. pick up the pieces when people are not caught by the health servicem really is a tragic state of affairs for stop what this is saying is that they have now got so much on their hands to deal with people who really should be dealt with by the health service that it is actually stopping them from doing their day—to—day work, so dealing with those very serious incidents. and of course the prime minister, who was the home secretary of course, really tried to address this problem by looking at these places of safety, a

borisjohnson now fled pakistan because he fears for his fate.ohnson now saying britain has a moral obligation. i think, to be fair, the italians abroad it offered her sanctuary, in some way has to be found to get her safely out of pakistan. there are huge problems with religious freedom all over the world, and to the bbc's credits of the coverage it has given to this issue is really welcome, because in all sorts of parts of particularly the middle east, christians are facing terrible persecution, and this one story of this very brave woman as i think brought it alive for people. of course it is perfectly possible that the uk government is in advanced talks, i don't know we just don't know, because it is too sensitive to the public. they cannot say they are in those talks, it may be that she arrives at heathrow, or at rome airport, or schiphol, and she is free, andi airport, or schiphol, and she is free, and i hope so, but renegotiations will inevitably be behind the scenes, but having we must be a country, we are a multicultural society of the w

and the telegraph, famously the employer of borisjohnson for so telegraph, famously the employer of boris employer of borisjohnson for so long, they have now emerged as the kind of mr hyde brexit. and so this story in the guardian. yes, the austerity story. in any othertime, guardian. yes, the austerity story. in any other time, this would be all over the papers. the guardian has put it on the front page that the un's reporter, who is an australian human rights lawyer, who has a record on extreme poverty, has visited britain and found that one fifth of the country is effectively living in destitution, and not merely that. he says that the middle classes would find themselves living in an increasingly hostile and unwelcome society because community routes are being broken. 0f unwelcome society because community routes are being broken. of course, this report has been attacked. the daily mail has reportedly been attacked, what is tucked away, this story. but what i find extraordinary is how many in the government classes in this country don't believe it. in the heart of hearts, they think t

from boris johnson and pretty angry, so you heard there from borisjohnson and from jake and reese moggupporters, there was a whole meaning of brexit supporters tonight, and they are pretty livid with the direction travel is going. the concern is twofold. the first is the draft withdrawal agreements, the d raft the draft withdrawal agreements, the draft on the terms and with the uk would leave, that would leave the uk beholden to brussels for too long but that control which is a key argument with the brexit campaign, and the second real concern is being expressed by the dup, but also conservative mps which also contains details which would separate northern ireland and the rest of uk in terms of trade. to a lot of people in the conservative party and the dup, that would be unacceptable. but, they all caveat this that they have not seen the draft agreement, so have not seen the draft agreement, so they are not making threats, but what they are saying is if it is in the form that they expect, that it would be very difficult for parliament to back it up but as we know, that is down the lin

and in our brexit dates series, it is boris johnson's in our brexit dates series, it is borisjohnson'sd and in our brexit dates series, it is borisjohnson's dad and author and journalist emma whelan, who absolutely believes in brexit. journalist emma whelan, who absolutely believes in brexitlj would never ever support the final say referendum or another referendum. why? you might increase the majority. but the point is the process of having a second say undermines the first say. i'm not sure about that. people argue for more democracy to have more votes but it is not more democracy if you have a rerun of a vote. the people who started the whole process want the british people to endorse the view of parliament. i don't think thatis view of parliament. i don't think that is a travesty of democracy. join us on bbc two, bbc news and online at ten o'clock for that full conversation. victoria, see you soon. now it is time for a look at the weather forecast with simon king. hello. we have had a cold and frosty start. temperatures as low as 6 degrees in central and southern parts of england. y

you have got borisjohnson, you have got good people in that cabinet who can do the job.ng it right back. would it be as simple as getting someone like borisjohnson to go to brussels and start again? it is never going to be simple. no brexiteer said it would be simple. why would they give any more concessions to boris johnson? we're not asking, we are taking. this is what we voted, fair boris johnson to go overthe... what we voted, fair boris johnson to go over the. .. this idea that britain can have what we don't... hang on, breaking news, breaking news, the work and pensions secretary esther mcvey is resigning! applause reaction, reaction? the career politicians... they are resigning first. there are doing the right thing for their country. not necessarily. the thing is that theresa may is trying to get a deal for us. whether or not you agree the way she is doing it, it should not be at all costs because that would not be for the benefit of the country. theresa may is trying to make the best of not great situation. i want reaction to the fact that the second cabinet min

borisjohnson, iain indeed of the detail of the deal. johnson, iain duncan indeed of the detail of the deal. borisjohnson, iain duncan smith, a lot of prominent brexit supporters, let's listen to them now. it's very ha rd to let's listen to them now. it's very hard to see how this deal can provide certainty to business or anyone else when you have half the cabinet going around a reassuring business that the uk is effectively going to remain in the customs union and the single market and the prime minister herself continuing to say that we are going to take back control of our laws, our tariffs and offer free trade control of our laws, our tariffs and offerfree trade deals. control of our laws, our tariffs and offer free trade deals. they can't both be right. which is it? the prime minister said that we have a legal obligation to pay £99 million. i wonder she is forgetting a report from the house of lords from march 2017 that said in the event of leaving with a new deal, we all know money at all. therefore, what are we going with £39 mill

borisjohnson was in belfast to lend his support, saying it was the confidence and supply of arrangementkeeping jeremy corbyn out of downing street. it is absolutely vital that we keep this partnership going and we keep this partnership going and we keep this confidence and supply arrangement going. if the so-called irish backstop was to be used, northern ireland would remain fixed to eu rules. even after the rest of the uk goes its own way. many northern ireland businesses are supporting the deal but they are at odds with the dup who say it undermines the integrity of the uk. i think that's an argument that no one in the business community and northern ireland accepts. it's very seldom in northern ireland uc unanimity about everything but when you find every single business organisation is telling you something different, then i think the dup should take cognizance of that. but the dup see this as their moment to stand firm and they aren't backing down. never before has this party been so centrestage. they've been fired up by boris and though they have the backing —— and they know they

sunday express claims leading brexit campaigners and former cabinet ministers, david davis and borisjohnsonve had talks to decide which of them should stand to replace the prime minister — if there is a vote of no confidence theresa may has allowed britain to be "blackmailed and bullied" by brussels — that's according to the former brexit secretary dominic raab in an interview with the sunday times tomorrow. the independent has a picture of protests by environmental campaigners as they brought parts of london to a standstill today, staging sit—ins and blocking five bridges over the thames. a mother of three who took her own life after being chased by the nhs for prescripton fees. the mail on sunday has spoken to a teacher who claims vulnerable children at her school are being "tricked" into believing they are the wrong sex. so unsurprisingly brexit and the divide in the conservative party leads many of tomorrow's papers. unsurprisingly, brexit, the divide in the conservative party leading many of tomorrow's papers. we have lots of angles, but we will start with the sunday times. stand up to
