earlier this month, chris cook and lucinda day brought us an exclusive on bullying and harassment of parliamentary clerks at the hands of mps in the house of commons. tonight, the house of commons has agreed to an inquiry into theirfindings. chris is here now. what has been going on today? this afternoon there was a meeting, the house of commons commission, the governing body of the house of commons corporately. it's mostly mps and a few other people. they agreed there should be an inquiry. they also agreed it should be run independently, and the terms of reference for that inquiry are going to be set by the two members of the house of commons commission who are not parliamentarians, who are completely from the outside. so people have confidence in it. the thing is, there is a big question about what the remit is going to be, and the really big question comes from what they will do if they uncover a large body of evidence about one mp in particular.

that story from lucinda day and chris cook.sations offering information and support with bullying, sexual harassment or abuse, are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call for free at any time to hear recorded information on 0800 077 077. joining us now, deputy leader of the liberal democrats, jo swinson, who sits on the cross party working group on an independent complaints and grievance policy. jo, nice of you to come in. let me ask you, did any of those stories reach you, are those names all cases familiar? not those specific cases although in the working group we considered evidence from staff but most of it was anonymous because staff did not feel comfortable, there is still this via issue around it and we had on our working group three staff representatives who were excellent. they collated the stories and brought them forward. it does chime in, we obviously started this process following reports about sexual harassment at westminster which was obviously very serious, and would have come forward with proposals o

chris cook and his producer lucinda day broke the story for newsnight.t revealed a problem in westminster, an issue with the so—called clarks, the apolitical class who make the place tick, who say they serve bullying from mps and they say they don't trust management processes to protect them. in large part because, in serious cases, mps can be involved injudging one another. management have told us to report stuff, but if i said something, i would be moved. in all my time here, i haven't seen one case go against them. the response from the commons authorities is pretty dismissive. for example, we told you how a serving clerk told us how she lived in a culture of fear. the authority said that was a grotesque exaggeration. today, though, we reported on a new development. this morning we got hold of a letter from the clerk of the house of commons, completely changing his position. the letter was sent out to the house of commons clerks. the senior management of the house are acknowledging they got the tone of their response to newsnight‘s reporting wrong, th

two weeks ago, newsnight‘s policy editor, chris cook, and producer, lucinda day, reported on bullying probably heard about their report, as it told us that the institution which makes the laws that govern conduct in all our workplaces fails to live up to the standards we would expect anywhere else. harassment is rife, notably by mps of the house of commons staff, or clerks. now one eye—catching case was mentioned there. a senior clerk of the house, who had made a formal complaint about bullying by labour mp paul farrelly back in 2012. he's always denied it, but what happened to her after she had complained had a big effect in deterring many other clerks from using the reporting system. her name was emily commander, and chris and lucinda, have now sat down to talk to her, and hear her story in full. we'll bring you that interview shortly, but first chris is with me. it's fair to say, the reporting you had done a couple of weeks ago has had an effect on the house of commons. the first and most important thing is the house of commons commission, the panel mostly of mps which runs the hou

chris cook, thanks very much.utin called in a landslide and were not really believes in? there was no official opposition. certainly, the 70 percentage of the vote suggests the word of the leader he never really doubted he was president. the big question is how the world reacts in a country that has silenced dissent should they congratulate him, should they freeze him out? a muted reaction so far by our diplomatic editor. he assesses the options for the west now. back in the 1870s when britain and russia asked friend or foe about their future relationship, they did so from a position of relative equality. but as vladimir putin celebrates an election victory that propels him into a fourth six year term, he is consolidating his already dominant position. one of his cheerleaders, the editor of rt said russians would not now allow a change of leaders. in some ways putin has now trapped himself, he's boxed himself in. because he is now very much seen as the founder of modern russia. he certainly has been in power for t

chris cook, who led the investigation for newsnight into the cladding on grenfell, is here now to explainance of what they found today. it is a very small binding, about one door they have taken from grenfell. they are testing other doors of the same design. when you put up a big building, you have to install component of a certain amount of fire resistant but the problem with this one is that it was sold as a 30 minute door and it is only a 15 minute door and if more of the doors that were similarly under resistant it can explain why the fire could move so quickly. what broader questions does it raise? if i were selling a new fire door i would have to get the design mocked up, take a prototype to the lab and get it tested and make sure that what i sold in the shops was the same as the prototype i had tested. this rates question about whether the testing process and the certification process of the goods on the market is up to scratch in england. thank you. the chinese—american writer amy tan has brought thejoy luck club to millions of readers around the world. now she's turned her hand t

chris cook and lucinda day reported yesterday, on the frustrations of commons clerks who believe parliamentns a blind eye to bad behaviourfrom mps. today, they've been hearing from staff at westminster, who say the reaction to last night's report shows nothing's changed. the mp exploded at me so aggressively that my colleagues stood between us to physically shield him from me. i didn't feel that there was anywhere for me to go to talk about it. he was particularly nasty to those he felt were below him. he went mad at me. it got very personal. newsnight revealed yesterday that there is a serious rot in westminster. bullying and harassment by mps. and it's directed a shocking amount at clerks. the apolitical staff who umpire and run the lower house. and women clerks in particular. last night newsnight reported that three mps have been accused of bullying clerks. mark pritchard, paul farrelly and john bercow. all of them deny the claims made against them. there's more interest injohn bercow than the other two, because he is in effect the boss of the clerks and it's his job in part to fix the c

in a moment, we'll hear from christopher wylie, but first — here's chris cook. here it comes.m campaign was a festival of buses and boats and rallies and speeches and placards and petitions. but while the ground war was raging out in the open, concern has been mounting about a campaign conducted in the shadows online. much has focused on cambridge analytica, the political campaigns company who were revealed to have facebook data from 50 million people, harvested in a rather troubling way. a former contractor for that company kicked that issue into the open once again today in front of the culture, media and sport committee. 0n britain, christopher wylie made three major claims. the first allegation was that vote leave must have used data from cambridge analytica, but obtained it via another company. aggregate iq or aiq. the second allegation is that vote leave wanted to spend more on advertising via aiq than vote leave were allowed to within the limits set by election law. so, it is alleged, they gave money to front groups to spend and, mr wylie says, that money didn't go into

emily commander there, talking to chris cook.ke of newsnight‘s investigation, the house of commons commission has agreed to an inquiry into bullying and harrassment, but it's still not clear what its remit will be or whether individual cases will be considered. detective seargant nick bailey, who's been in serious condition in salisbury district hospital after the nerve agent attack there, has been allowed home. a chance for him to recuperate. meanwhile, the russian ambassador the uk faced the press today, and was on feisty form both defending his country, and criticising this one. she provided no proof of russia's alleged involvement in the incident, and made the conclusion that, as she put it, it was highly likely that russia was responsible for it. thus, the british government built an official position, and i want to stress this, an official position on pure assumptions. well, theresa may is in brussels today for the european council meeting. she's only got another four of those before brexit, and for her, today, this one is

chris cook is with me. bring us up to date on developments.ar, because of channel 4 news's excellent reporting, that we know they had an undercover reporter who talked to various cambridge analytica executives who claimed to have had a critical effect on the election of donald trump, to have the power to spread anonymously, the memes and news stories. they also talked about, talked in a way that made some people draw the conclusion there had been collusion between the trump campaign and a supposedly independent politcal action group, which is not allowed under us law. cambridge analytica denies all these things that their own executive have said and that is why they suspended their chief executive this evening. let's talk about the british investigation, maybe not the one facebook is most terrified of, because the american side is probably a bigger dealfor them. the information commissioner is on the case, how effective will that be? the thing to know about the information commissioner is it is not the world's most frightening regulator at all

>> well, those two tweets suggested it only took a little day for chris cook to persuade trump otherwiserom the stance he was taking in front of the cameras with senators and lawmakers where he seemed to support stricter gun control and that speaks to trump's background as businessman, he makes the best deals he thinks possible in the moment and when you get him alone in a room or with mike pence behind cameras it'sassier to persuade him and that worked to chris cook's advantage. maria: i want to push back because the president never said he we wanted to change anything specific or big about guns other than the bump stocks, right, the bump stocks ban, raising the age to 21. beyond that he didn't -- he didn't say he was going to threaten the second amendment in any way. >> of course, he's not going use language that would suggest that he's going the threaten the second amendment, that would not do well with base or supporters or republicans at large. what we saw when he met with lawmakers was willingness to consider more comprehensive legislation than we have seen him support in the past

so the stroke club class was a success, and chris believes that the cookery school not only teaches you how to cook but also boosts your self—esteem. for a lot of people, it saves their lives, it gives them that meaning that once a week, get out of bed, go and do it, which is what it gave me. it gives me a reason to get up in the morning, get dressed and get out there. normally i'm asking for help for that sort of thing. now, there's a woman from swanley in kent whose big ambition is to get her dog into crufts. not because he's good looking or best in breed, no, she's hoping he'll dance his way there. john cuthill reports. it's a wet and windy saturday in coventry. it's raining cats and, well, dogs. and more dogs. they've all gathered here to sniff out a golden ticket. they're competing for a place at the most prestigious dog show in britain. there are ten places up for grabs in each category, here at this semifinal for crufts. excited and nervous, and everything at once. but these dogs aren't being judged on looks. this competition doesn't require a pedigree. this is strictly dog dancing. welcome

(announcer) victoza® is not for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. s

james cook, bbc news, los angeles. chris buckler is in washington for us.aring and watching television but i don't think there is any doubt this will have been uncomfortable viewing inside the white house. while this interview was certainly salacious and sensational, there is that question of, was it totally shocking? donald trump is a man who has boasted of his prowess before. he has been photographed in the playboy mansion and he indeed won an election after a tape was leaked of him talking about how he liked to grab women sexually. sex scandals have brought down many politicians before. but donald trump is no ordinary politician. and he's is proving to be a pretty extraordinary presidency. nonetheless, there are real dangers. first of all in terms of the payment made to stormy daniels before the election in 2016. there are real questions about that. at some stage they will have to be answered. and beyond that, there are allegations of threats made against stormy daniels. those are serious. a cease and desist letter has been sent by president trump to sto
