dominic raab takes up the false rape claim case with ciphers, questions over how this young woman hasrities on the island. 50 has been treated by the authorities on the island. so much incredibly shocking about this case. it is great that dominic rob is taking it up, it is about time some i say. it's been going on since july. why has he not been taking it seriously before? what has he not been taking it seriously before ? what is has he not been taking it seriously before? what is happening here really is that the character of this young woman has been put on trial. there's been a lot of criticism of the core system, the just taking her lawyer in narrow view of this case of this public allegation would admit evidence into this case that her lawyer say prove that the break did happen. he said it wasn't admissible. you're putting her on trial for making a false allegation of rape you will think i be admissible. so it came down to a question of our credibility in the court and the judge or think said that she didn't make a good impression on the court. whichjust a shocking thing to hear.

they also met previously with the foreign secretary dominic raab, seeking his support. it is not clear whether anne sacoolas can be extradited to the uk tax they face a trial in a british court. that is absolutely where this goes from here, and this could cause some kind ofa here, and this could cause some kind of a diplomatic incident if she continues to claim diplomatic immunity and if the united states authorities continue to be uncooperative. thank you very much indeed. rose brown was involved in a hit—and—run when she was 12 which left her unable to walk and without the ability to speak. she was given her own bespoke digital voice and she picked a cockney accent, as she's always wanted to be on eastenders. as a special christmas present, the victoria derbyshire show was able to make her dream a reality by taking her on a tour of albert square. claire jones has this special report. it's been the site of some of the most iconic moments in tv history. from hidden family secrets... you can't tell me what to do, you ain't my mother! yeslam! ..to unexpected attempted mur

i was in walton this week, dominic raab's seat. he has an enormous majority of 23,000 there.o imagine them without a conservative mp! famously brave european. i do think the constituency will vote to remain but ina constituency will vote to remain but in a place like that, there are other examples where the majority are smaller but that messages getting through. it is a liberal democrat challenge. walking around with monica harding that message was getting across to people. it is unlikely to have an effect that there are seats like that where it will come into play. i'm still getting over the shock of hearing john major, conservative prime minister not that long ago, telling people in their constituencies where they are conservative candidates to vote for someone else. i can't remember that happening before. the only other example i can think of this tony blair calling on labour supporters to vote for the best placed candidate to defeat the tories, in order to promote... back to brexit. where they have kept the focus on brakes and everybody, even if they don't agree, is talki

and the bus, she has been visiting three constituencies all with conservative mps, one of them, dominic raabthe lib dems are not even in second place and the constituencies will have healthy conservative majorities. why is this her final three places to visit? well, because, they are all solid remain constituencies and jo swinson started talking about staying in the eu and she is finishing, on the last day of the campaign, with the same message. these polls are suggesting it will be tricky for her to assume that people will vote as they voted during the referendum, she is hoping they will and she says she is hopeful that in one constituency, richmond park, where zac goldsmith is the mp, that he, they are, might be toast. as for boris johnson, is the mp, that he, they are, might be toast. as for borisjohnson, the main attack point is that he will be an appalling prime minister and he must be stopped. a__ a —— around scottish key seats today, we will see nicola sturgeon, the snp leader, in marginals, and top target seats for her party as well, a little earlier she was in edinburgh, we will see

that is the line, dominic raab admits that us firms could charge higher prices after brexit.uch weaker negotiating position than the us. essentially that they will have severed close relations with their largest trade markets and the us, still the largest economy in the world stop and this, i think, is why when labour raises this issue... crosstalk. however most the conservatives or donald trump himself now deny it, it has possibility to it. if you are going to have this deal done, you will have to make more concessions. the difficulty is that none of us know of what is likely to be quite a long process for all those optimistic we talk about a quick trade deal, what concessions both sides will seek and what the other sides will seek and what the other side will be prepared to concede. we don't want donated chickens. we may have to do can see something else in agriculture —— chlorinated chickens. equally we don't want them to have a voice in the nhs, so we may have to concede someone else for them to back off on that. and within this document, one of the stories that was tease

foreign secretary dominic raab has issued a typically cautious foreign office statement but saying, ifeen the lines, he calls on saudi arabia to bring to account all those responsible. agnes cala ma has gone further, the un special envoy into this murder, and she has said this makes a mockery ofjustice because the five hit men have been sentenced to death but she says those ultimately responsible further up those ultimately responsible further up the chain are walking free. so i think the cloud of suspicion that has been hanging over saudi arabia ever since this grisly murder in 2018 will not be fully dispelled by these verdicts. frank gardner, thank you. there are growing signs that the islamic state group is re—organising in iraq, two years after it lost the last of its territory there. kurdish and western intelligence officials have told the bbc that is in iraq is now more skilled and more dangerous than al-qaeda. kurdish security forces are warning that history is in danger of repeating itself, as orla guerin reports. from a hilltop in northern iraq, a sweeping view of territory re

saying the same thing we are saying and if we stood against him, i reckon from everywhere, from dominic raab'shrough the western corridor, the effect of standing in that part of england would have been a rash of liberal democrat seats that would have taken us democrat seats that would have taken us towards a second referendum. much asido us towards a second referendum. much as i do not trust the conservatives and there is no reason from their track record why i should, i am fighting to hold them to account. this canada plus steel, how will our farmers compete? it supermarkets can get cheap beef from brazil, why would they buy more expensive beef from here? a super canada plus steel does not involve brazil. once we have left the european union... argentina, of course, is where we used to buy lots of beef before joining the common market, but once we have left the european union, the choices would be ours. you say food, footwear and clothing would be cheaper. absolutely, we have the opportunity to bring down the average family bill every month. many foods that do not enter the eu market do not d

but dominic raab on this programme is that only yesterday that the nhs is that only yesterday that thehat means is, you know, money is going out of the service and into profit. and what we're looking at, if it were the extension of drug patents was a potential loss to the service of £27 billion. so these are huge sums that really would rip the guts out of the nhs. and when you come to talk about data and the negotiations that go on in trade thoughts about data and data privacy and data security and the transfer of data and where it is held, the americans are really pushing very ha rd to americans are really pushing very hard to get access to nhs data, because of course it is the oldest dataset on health in the world, and it is the most common transdev. so cani it is the most common transdev. so can i quickly than... we would lose that value. -- comprehensive dataset. he said he wouldn't want that even if it was on a silver platter. yes. why are you changing your line? you have said consistently that the nhs is being put up for sale. it's not a change at all. the nhs is as i say, it's n

talking about the constituencies that the lib dems would like to do some damage and, in particular, dominic raab's even second, the important thing for them is to win on the remain about because all three of those constituencies had a big vote in favour of remaining in the eu. the lib dems hope this will bea the eu. the lib dems hope this will be a brexit election, when people wait more about that than their party loyalties. this morning, she has been saying a clear attack on borisjohnson, less has been saying a clear attack on boris johnson, less of has been saying a clear attack on borisjohnson, less of an attack on jeremy corbyn. she said boris johnson would be an appalling prime minister, not so much onjeremy corbyn. during this campaign, i think she has been very careful to stay on the fence on which of those to she could do a deal with if there is no clear result in tomorrow's election. she has not said either way which she would favour, in fact, she has said she couldn't work with either of them to stop what you get the impression that she is most concerned about borisjohnson. just before w

the nhs in a future us trade deal has come up a couple of times in this campaign trail and dominic raabuticals. this is pure loch ness monster, a media triangle stuff. so we have the president trump denial, the borisjohnson denial, will that blunt labour attack over the nhs and it possibly being on the table for trade talks? i doubt it very much and this morning, mr corbyn seems determined to keep the pressure on the issue. today, donald trump has arrived in britain. i saw it because his convoy went past my house last night, so i know he‘s here. and we welcome all visitors, and we should always treat people with respect and politeness, but i very gently and quite simply, but extremely firmly, say this. in any trade deal with the united states with a labour government, public services will not be put on the table. our nhs will not be put up for sale to anybody. cheering so, so far, things have gone well for borisjohnson so, so far, things have gone well for boris johnson in so, so far, things have gone well for borisjohnson in terms of the president‘s visit. but interestingly, mrjohnson

the article quotes the foreign secretary, dominic raab, urging anne sacoolas to "do the right thing"efully. interesting here, confirmation of something we pro bally confirmation of something we probally already know but new figures from the department of transport yesterday suggesting that the expense of travelling by bus has now forced of people using buses to the lowest level in nearly 50 years. from a high of 42% using buses in the 1950s to now just from a high of 42% using buses in the 1950s to nowjust 4% of all journeys that we take on the bus. it blames high prices and it also strips out london and it says hi subsidies in the capital in that bus journeys there are at a record but elsewhere, the graph really does demonstrate the fall off and a lot of people will talk about cuts to services and of course the high cost, it just doesn't services and of course the high cost, itjust doesn't make it viable. elsewhere, technology this morning saying mobile phone firms will be banned from selling locked mobiles. you have to pay a lot of money to get out of it. all you have to run the en

this is what dominic raab said.you can do a pretty unambitious trade deal before the end of 2020. it may be one involving goods but not services and services are obviously very important for the uk economy but even to do that deal on goods would mean from the eu's perspective, the uk agreeing to what are known as level playing field provisions which means sticking close to eu rules on things like workers' rights and environmental protection and that is where we get back to the other trade deal because donald trump once quite the opposite, he wants the uk to move away from those rules and regulations and move much closer to the american orbit so there is a tension between the two. even then, with president trump, it is always about america first, isn't it? we heard that from the inauguration address, he said it is america first. this is not necessarily a free trader, this is a man who has some sort of protectionist agenda. look at what happened yesterday, the us were preparing tariffs on france and things like champa

extradition was being sought and then the same message was communicated to the foreign secretary dominic raabte for the memory of harry. thank you. i think charlotte just wa nts to thank you. i think charlotte just wants to sate a few words as well.” just want to say a massive thank you to the public and the media. we feel that we have taken a huge step in the start to achieving the promise to harry that we made. that in itself, for us as parents to make that promise to him, that we would seekjustice, thinking that promise to him, that we would seek justice, thinking it that promise to him, that we would seekjustice, thinking it would be really easy, knowing the circumstances that we did, we had no idea it would be this hard and take this long but we didn't really do feel it is a —— we really do feel it isa feel it is a —— we really do feel it is a huge step in that promise to harry. it is a huge achievement for us to have and as parents we can't be any more satisfied. i'm going to go and buy a christmas tree and decorate it in green lights that so many of our supporters have done. i never th

let's go to surrey where we arejoined by dominic raab.00, just shy of a000 less than last time. story here was the colla pse than last time. story here was the collapse of the labour vote and obviously some tactical voting. i am proud that in a difficult campaign, i have been returned and we have a chance now to move the country forward if the results go our way following the exit poll this evening and break the uncertainty and the logjam that we have had and move the country forward. that is what people in this constituency want. it felt like a referendum because of the way the tactical voting went but at the end of the day we secured half of the vote share and that gives us a very strong mandate, both locally and with the results that appear to be going away this evening, to not just deliver brexit to deliver the agenda set out by the prime minister. but your majority was slashed. and these are the seats where tory majorities are the seats where tory majorities are built. now your seat is more the past of the tory party. the new tory pa
