. —— in downing street.l the developments as they happen here on this bbc news special — we'll get reaction from westminster and beyond — as the prime minister tries to rally suport for her controversial plans. welcome to this bbc news special — broadcasting across the uk and around the world — we're live at westminster to mark a highly significant milestone in the brexit process. the cabinet has been meeting in downing street — to consider the draft brexit agreement — settled by officials in london and brussels. the meeting started at 2 o'clock — and theresa may was setting out to convince the more sceptical members of the cabinet that her plan is the best on offer. the draft agreement runs to hundreds of pages. the prime minister says it delivers on the result of the eu referendum in 2016 — her critics — on both sides of the argument — say it would leave the uk with less influence and less control. we'll have details of the plan as it's published in full — and we'll have all the comings and goings in downi

off on the side and they had their rally and then it was suggested that we should all go to 10 downing street there to reassemble and there to demonstrate and it took kind of an hour to do. this i don't know how you got from victoria and albert hall to 10 downing. everyone knew, especially those of us on immigrant visas that this was a violation of the law. you cannot demonstrate, in those days at least, within a certain radius, a mile or something of parliament when it's sitting and 10 downing street is a prohibited zone but i wanted to see what happened so i came along and in order to show that i wasn't part of this group there was a little lawn as you turn into 10 downing street and i stood off on the lawn so that people were shooting ban the bomb and the police captain came on his horse with his -- the other bobbys and they were during he was arguing with a fellow with the sign and they looked over at me and the police officer went down and he held the man's sign and the man came over and said i beg your pardon, sir, you really must stand off the grass. [ laughter ] now, you see, you can

i was itching to hear the question, but we are going back over to downing street for a few moments.iting, we've been told we should be prepared for a statement from theresa may shortly, and in that case we can expect her to emerge from number 10 to deliver it. those deliberations with the cabinet having going onjust shy deliberations with the cabinet having going on just shy of five hours now, and least we await some idea as to whether this draft agreement is to their... well, i was going to say liking, but that's not the right word. is acceptable to them or not. we have got beyond 100 days coming up in a moment, and we will keep the story going for you here on bbc news. you're watching beyond one hundred days. the british prime minister is chairing the most important meeting of her premiership — as she seeks the support of senior ministers for her brexit plan. whether they'll get on board with it is anyone's guess at this stage — the meetings been going on for five hours so far. if — and when— she gets the support of her ministers — then the prime minister has to present that draft

would say the idea you can just go downing street would say the idea you canjust go back downing streetome thing better and start again, it will not happen. thank you very much. metaphorical storm clouds gathering possibly for the prime minister at westminster. now we look at the weather around the united kingdom. as far as the weather goes, we are seeing significant changes as we look at the forecast through the weekend and into next week. for the time being, the weather is pretty mild across the weather is pretty mild across the country with decent sunshine across northern england and the midlands and wales. cloud in the south and rain approaching the north—west, sovereign of no one in the west of scotland, whether turning wet, but where it is mild... temperatures for northern scotland at 17 celsius. above normalfor the time of year. that warrant issuing right into the heart of the arctic and what happens next is the arctic retaliates with cold are spreading into europe and that will seep in through the united kingdom. next week, average is around six or seven celsius. you will notice

let's go to ben brown in downing street.ou say, until what will be the most crucial cabinet meeting of theresa may's premiership. the cabinet will finally gather this afternoon in downing street to decide whether they can support the d raft decide whether they can support the draft withdrawal agreement. —— yes, as you say. ministers have been arriving here last night and this morning individually for one—on—one meetings with the prime minister and his study, in detail, the draft agreement. here is our political correspondent ben wright. early morning and number ten made a final push to convince the sceptics. the international development secretary penny mordaunt was stony faced and tight—lipped after she left after talks with the prime minister. i'm looking at the details today... other cabinet brexiteers we re today... other cabinet brexiteers were noncommittal, too, including the bricks —— the bricks secretary himself. the former tory leader, iain duncan smith, also slipped in, a lead of the tory brexiteers in parliament w

let's go straight to downing street to speak to the bbc‘s vicki young.e should caveat what we're hearing this evening from the cabinet, because ian duncan smith has put it in fairly stark terms, and only ten or ii of them were opposed to what they heard from the prime minister. what are you hearing? the bbc understands that although nine spoke up with reservations, that is not quite the same as opposing it, but i'm sure they will be seizing on any sign that those in the cabinet are not happy. people like the international development secretary penny mordaunt a p pa re ntly development secretary penny mordaunt apparently repeated something she said before, which was that we need a free vote when this goes to the house of commons. i don't think you would say that if you are going to back the government, but if you are going to oppose it, so i don't think this is over yet. i think there are others, maybe esther mcvey, the work and pensions committee, said to be very unhappy about what is in that deal. they may not resign tonight, but if you look at what hap

the prime minister is holding an emergency meeting of her cabinet in downing street...choolchildren. awful! dreadful. i suppose it's a complicated business, though, isn't it? there's a lot at stake, people have very strong opinions. yeah, but that's what they're paid for. they should be able to do theirjob. how important do think it is to see in black and white? very important, very, yeah, and everyone says the same. why? well, because we're in the dark, aren't we? tonight, some clarity. the draft agreement published, backed by the cabinet. in southmead's pubs and clubs, we found some relief, but little confidence that brexit was sorted. nobody knows what's going to happen, it's just really uncertain, everything is just up in the air. do you feel any more certain tonight? no. it's not really black and white. i think that most people are confused about it all. i don't know what the answer is. i was going to ask you, what's the answer? i'd like to think i could give an answer, but i can't. more than 100 miles from downing street, still waiting to find out how brexit will

this is downing street making a complaint after a coverage of philip hammond.. they thought the bbc had implied something about it being from a left wing think tank and therefore it had something to do with that and hated the label. this is the headline in the mail on sunday. the resolution foundation run by mr bell. but the resolution foundation said the budget mainly benefited the rich and i can see why numberio wasa benefited the rich and i can see why number 10 was a bit cross, and numberii number 10 was a bit cross, and number" as number 10 was a bit cross, and number 11 as well. number 10 was a bit cross, and number“ as well. is number 10 was a bit cross, and number 11 as well. is this a litre of quote? is that what number 10 said? that is pretty trump like.” do not discuss headlines. i discuss the facts. think tanks and how the media use them. some claim to be left wing, or right wing or some who claim to be non—partisan. left wing, or right wing or some who claim to be non-partisan. are used to runa claim to be non-partisan. are used to run a think tank

survivors of terror attacks will travel to downing street today, to hand over a report that says victimss in mental health services. the survivors against terror says 270 people responded to its survey, with three—quarters claiming the mental health support they received was inadequate. 0ur correspondent lauren moss has all the details. terror attacks have killed, wounded and left many with permanent injuries. there is always a rush to save those caught up in the horror. afterwards, some of the scars that remain are not physical. 15—year—old natalie and her mother valerie were at manchester arena last year. both have struggled to receive counselling from the nhs. people like me had been put on a waiting list for a counsellor for ages, and they have still not received the support that they need 18 months and, and that just support that they need 18 months and, and thatjust shows how people can't get the support they need when they need it. please don't hesitate to call us again if you need is... survey by the campaign group survivors against terror has praised the charity sector for provi

there is something going on in downing street. player earlier. if it does end up in parliament, this is going to bea up in parliament, this is going to be a straight choice between a deal and eight no deal, that is going to be at. i think this will also be the big choice that mps have to make if it gets that far if cabinet to give the backing to theresa may tonight, then at some point it will go to parliament, probably in early december. what is the alternative? this is a disputed issue. the prime minister has always said it will be her deal that she has worked to negotiate, or the other option is no deal at all. there are many who think that is not the case. they feel they can force another referendum. some think they would be the option of staying in the european economic area, they could ta ke european economic area, they could take control of the process to avoid the note deal scenario. there is not a majority for that in parliament. —— note deal scenario. before that, the cabinet will have to sanction all of that. they are lo

one of the things that happened immediately after downing street announced the deal has been done, androw is the irish government we re tomorrow is the irish government were briefing quite heavily that it was not final and there were still technicalities on this order issued to be ironed out. and that is as high up as the deputy prime minister briefing this. the key things are the easyjay, will the european court have any rights over as here and whether we can actually quit the deal after the transition period. how deep is the deep end of the swimming pool, that kind of thing. we will know tomorrow. swimming pool, that kind of thing. we will know tomorrowi swimming pool, that kind of thing. we will know tomorrow. i wanted to ask you, i think you are in the house of parliament, where the central lobby when all of this... house of parliament, where the central lobby when all of this. .. we we re central lobby when all of this. .. we were summoned by a text rum the tory mps to gaggle in the house of commons, and boris johnson mps to gaggle in the house of commons, and borisjohnson was doi

let us return to downing street.me minister but you have just heard how much more difficult the next process will be. yes but i think the underestimate if she has managed to get the backing of the cabinet, that is a significant moment. we have seen david mundell come out already. he is deeply concerned about fishing rights and northern ireland being treated differently, leading to problems with scotland and the snp calling for the same. what was interesting is theresa may giving that state m e nts is theresa may giving that statements and immediately saying this is going to be a choice between her deal, no deal or no brexit so thatis her deal, no deal or no brexit so that is going to be the pressure that is going to be the pressure that will be put on those mps, not just the dup but conservative mps and also something labour mps will have to think about as well. it is all about what they think they can achieve if they vote against her deal. do they think they will end up with no deal which hardly any of them in the h

we went down the street three or four different times with them. one afternoon, we were at a luncheon in that room where you go, down on the street on your right. and i think there were maybe one or two other couples there. six or eight of us. and, the prime minister said anthony, what are you going to be doing this weekend? and i said well, we are going to checkers. and she said oh? and i continued, my continued response was, yes we want to see where churchill lived, and the paintings he did, the wall that he built. she said, you mean chock well? she said, when you said you're going to checkers, you invited yourself to my home. and of course everybody left except me. i flushed out, very red. and then she gracefully said, but you shall come, you shall come. and then, indeed we were invited, some months later. but suddenly, she was no longer prime minister. so, if some of you can arrange me to go to checkers, give me a call. one other thing we discussed in our conversations, was my comment that, if england joined at that time, the european union was

is the current prime minister returned to downing street this morning, we are to downing street this, we are left with one big question — what is going to happen with brexit? your guess is as good as mine. chris mason, bbc news, westminster. we'll speak to our brussels reporter, adam fleming, in a moment. first to westminster, and norman smith. tick—tock? tick-tock? i know people will be groaning ifi tick-tock? i know people will be groaning if i say, really, we are reaching crunch time. but genuinely, the next 48 hours could be pivotal, because if there is no breakthrough today or tomorrow, then the chances ofa today or tomorrow, then the chances of a november is used summit to sign of a november is used summit to sign of any deal just of a november is used summit to sign of any dealjust disappear into never—never land, which means the government really have to ramp up preparations for no deal, ploughing in more money, more preparations, and that creates its own momentum, making it a more likely outcome, added to which, if there isn't a summit this month, then itjust might not be th

joining us now from downing street where we are waiting for theresa may to come and speak with mediaesults of that cabinet meeting is the bbc‘s vicki young no surprise that is running over? it is always difficult. they said it would be three hours long and it is longer than that. it does tell us that every single cabinet minister is having their say. that is what theresa may dies, she allows eve ryo ne theresa may dies, she allows everyone to speak. it also tells us they are looking for clarification, perhaps reassuring since some cases. it is not just perhaps reassuring since some cases. it is notjust on the brexit side of the arguments, those who are pro—leaving the eu are concerned about as being tied to closely but also on the other side, there are loyal cabinet ministers like the scottish secretary. he is concerned about fishing rights and concerned about fishing rights and concerned about the issue of northern ireland being treated differently from the rest of the united kingdom because he knows and scottish conservative mps know if that happens, the snp and others in scotland

that is the message downing street will try to put forward , downing street will try to put forward,s andrea leadsom who has been speaking about whether she will back the deal or not. i had ihada i had a good conversation with the prime minister and having i had a good conversation with the prime ministerand having a i had a good conversation with the prime minister and having a look at details of the deal today and i'm optimistic that we will have a good deal but i am looking at the details today. i cannot answer that question right now, thank you very much. i cannot answer that question, you're asking me to speculate on something i haven't seen. sorry about that, thanks. the leader of the house of commons andrea leadsom keeping her counsel when she was speaking to reporters this morning. it is time to speak now to the leader of the lib dems, so vince cable, whojoins me here on college green at westminster. thank you for your time this morning. we have heard from ian black the snp westminster leader, talking about a letter that you have jointly sign the theresa may, asking for oppos

the message was clear, let's pick up the game with vicky young in downing street.ndering why she should do this press conference on today of all days, you can see why. this turmoil around her with people resigning, people checking their phones every two minutes to see whether the next one has gone or not has been going on all day. people have said all day they will challenge for the leadership, they've lost confidence in her leadership and what she has done is to try to go there in that calming, stately room, to go there and say she is effectively getting on with thejob. i think she is effectively getting on with the job. i think there will be split opinion on what she has done. some will say she sounds deluded, she has her head in the sand. she can't possibly get through this. there will be others who will say she is taking a responsible, mature attitude. she is doing this in the national interest. that was her argument. i thought a pretty strong swipe their at her critics who she said people were very ready to point out what they don't like in this agreement and

and events in downing street in the coming hours, cabinet ministers coming and going.e we expecting? i think we will see more cabinet ministers coming in to read through the documentation. and a much smaller political declaration, perhaps only 15 pages of that, looking at a future relationship. we've already seen the health secretary going in, and the international trade secretary liam fox. his position i think is interesting, he talked about the need for the uk to get out of this backstop arrangement on the irish border. unilaterally. and what we're hearing is there could be some sort of review mechanism, something more complex than that which he has said he would not like. so i think tonight and tomorrow ahead of the cabinet meeting we could get more clarity on where individual ministers stand. but there is confidence from the chief whip julian smith, he has said he will be confident of getting a deal through parliament and also that the government and prime minister will deliver a pragmatic brexit. but at this stage i think there will be a challenge in trying to get

but if i am sitting watching you in downing street and i havejust listened sitting watching you in downingoption, then actually, that makes whatever deal theresa may puts forward as the only alternative and it has to go through, you say it hasn't got the numbers but... i amjust through, you say it hasn't got the numbers but... i am just saying every single path has its problems, there is also a plan being put forward by nick boles involving norway and efta and staying in quite a lot of the structures, staying quite close to what the labour party might want... ijust don't know, that's the point. as for downing street watching me on tv, sad! come on! we are better than that! dawn foster, theresa may gets through this weekend, and her next issue is going to be the 1922 committee, how do you see that playing out?|j going to be the 1922 committee, how do you see that playing out? i think almost certainly they do have the correct number of letters at the moment, there was a lot of noise that a lot of people do not want to come out publicly yet but have submitted the letters. i think if there is

don't be fooled by the bustling streets downing street where prime minister to resign main street is addressing the nation after her meeting with the cabinet let's listen in. the the cabinet has just had a long and impassioned debate on the draft withdrawal agreement and the outline political to outline political declaration on all future relationship with the european union these documents were the result of thousands of hours of hard negotiation by u.k. officials a many many meetings which i and all the ministers held with our e.u. counterparts i firmly believe that the draft withdrawal agreement was the best that could be negotiated and it was for the cabinet to decide whether to move on in the talks the choices before us were difficult particularly in relation to the northern ireland backstop for the collective decision of cabinet was that the government should agree the draft withdrawal agreement and the outlined political declaration this is a decisive step which enables us to move on and finalize the deal in the days ahead these decisions were not taken lightly but i believe i

how many downing street at the moment. how ma ny letters downing street at the moment.ht they would get 60 people attending, people looked at the weather, it's pretty gloomy and thought better of it. they thought better this brexit than none at all. and isn‘t that theresa may‘s plan? if you present the alternative as no deal, people will say, let‘sjust have any deal at this stage. that's been interesting about her strategy. she‘s going over the heads of her mps. pitching straight to the nation but urging them to get behind her in the national interest. she did that this morning at the cbi, urging business leaders to back her, and broadly they did. and again, going over the heads of mps to talk to the tory party chairman. she is time to carve a middle way for national unit is. the gamble of, she's gone to ta ke is. the gamble of, she's gone to take it to parliament, she is not going to offer an alternative, are you getting a sense that perhaps with mps having to spend the weekend with mps having to spend the weekend with constituents, she might mean more emboldened as ti

more than 100 miles from downing street, but this estate could be anywhere.night how brexit will end. jon kay, bbc news, southmead, in bristol. we all want the answer to that one, don't we? the cabinet meeting is going on. we have a line coming from bloomberg news which suggests that dominic raab, the brexit secretary, was understood to be heading out to brussels, in fact we are now told he will not be going out this evening at least, and we wait to see, it will be determined by what happens in the cabinet meeting as to whether we get that on the future relations with the eu in the days ahead, if things remain positive, we probably will. but the detail. how is that going down in scotland? earlier our scotland correspondent lorna gordon explained the scottish national party's response to the draft agreement. i think the snp government's position could be summarised in saying that they have been left in the dark and they are worried that scotla nd the dark and they are worried that scotland is going to be left out and left behind, left in the dark in the sense

theresa may let's go now to london where our very own barbara visual is standing by near ten downing street good evening to you barbara so the prime minister's she got the deal through her cabinet is this a big victory. it is a spot victory because when she when we just heard her talk about impassioned debate that really brant is sort of code for we fought like cats in a sack because in it within these five hours there were rumors coming out of downing street that some tory brecht's tears were absolutely infuriated and that she really had a hard time to get them to sort of back her up and go along was the deal and so this is a first step but it is she's not there yet i mean many had thought she would fall to the day when the meeting lasted so long everybody said oh this is going horribly wrong and then finally once more we must say she emerged victorious but nothing is for sure yet and we know that she has to go to parliament tomorrow and try to do the same thing there and is that going to be as easy and i'm saying i'm using the word here easy very. carelessly i'm going to be the as easy as

political correspondent ben wright is in downing street for us this morning.eetings, it's an overused cliche, but this is the most important cabinet meeting we've seen for many yea rs. cabinet meeting we've seen for many years. the implications of what they intend to decide today will affect us all for years, and this is the moment where theresa may will ask her top team to back this draft deal, take it to the eu and try to get it through parliament. this is where the race to make brexit happen begins for number 10 after months of getting to this point. but the question is there the political will behind this deal today? this evening and this morning again, ministers come in one by one to meet the prime minister, eye to eye as she asks for their support and collectively at 2pm today, the cabinet will give their verdict. there could be rain resignation is, number 10 their verdict. there could be rain resignation is, number10 is their verdict. there could be rain resignation is, number 10 is worried about that, many brexiteer cabinet ministers have been concerne

laura kuenssberg is in downing street.of the immediate threat to decry minister in terms of this vote of no—confidence? threat to decry minister in terms of this vote of no-confidence? it is still there and hanging in the air, there is a rather eerie calm here tonight but this has been 2a hours of things coming down a little bit rather than everything coming crashing down. we will not know about how many letters have gone in, whether they have reached the magic number of 48 required to trigger a contest, perhaps until monday. the among people who want to see the prime minister stay on is that all those strong words and threats might be falling short of actually triggering something that could see herfrom triggering something that could see her from office but triggering something that could see herfrom office but right triggering something that could see her from office but right now it is simply impossible to tell, even though i have to states there is a sense the immediate danger has faded somewhat. —— i had to say will

downing street can probablyjust about rely on the cat.as it gets let back in out of the rain. for a long as it gets let back in out of the rain. fora moment, it long as it gets let back in out of the rain. for a moment, it seemed even relations with the chief mouse catcher had broken down. beyond that, theresa may is suddenly looking for friends. can you get this deal through? a restless cabinet, the chief whip, though, firmly onside. she'll get the deal done and in a few weeks' time, i've got a job to do in parliament. but hisjob, all theirjobs, is enormous in an atmosphere that is far from friendly, when the government's official allies, whose votes it desperately needs, they are now phones instead. we will be voting along with many others in the conservative party and the opposition parties against it. —— now foes. these are united remain as and leave it in the conservative party, that is how bad it is. it was hardly good morning to theresa may from this man. good morning! once he had found his brolly, jacob rees—mogg, the leader of th

if he gets thejob, and the job, and we're told downing street is gloomy about prospects of him not getting then they will leave and we shall see. it comes, of course, against the backdrop of salisbury, the attack on the skripals, and alleged russian behaviour in which they are trying to target opponents of the putin regime. that's the real concern here from the uk and from america, were this fellow to become head of interpol, then it would be more likely to take forward warrants for political opponents. as david was saying, it's an important organisation, spans are so many countries. in some ways, it's been superseded by the european arrest warrant, but that's obviouslyjust in europe, then there's nato and other organisations but interpol is an overarching organisation that covers so many countries. an overarching organisation that covers so many countries. it is a secret ballot and it seems to be one country, one vote. even if the uk and the us and its allies are trying to promote a candidate from south korea instead, it seems unlikely that will happen. again it raises the question, the p

downing street will rightly be concerned by this. yes. were on the sun clearly quite angry about this. angrier than almost any of the other papers and the tabloid papers, who traditionally shout and scream about these things. i think they have gone a bit over the top. i don't buy the line that this threatens to blow her government apart. the government clearly is intact. the cabinet is intact for the time being. no one has resigned. remember, after the chequers deal it was 48 hours before the foreign secretary and the brexit secretary resigned. leaving to one side the main headline, which we won't repeat, the saab lines are significant. the first, may soft deal blasted by all sides. this deal doesn't have any friends —— sub lines. people are expressing criticism in different ways. people say we should vote for it not because we like it but because the alternative is so bad. so there are really... clearly theresa may has nobody who really likes this deal. the other sub head is the battle to get mps, that is the real issue for her. that is

downing street has dismissed a call by more than 70 business leaders for a referendum on the terms ofng the vote has already been held two years ago. in an open letter, the executives say the proposals under discussion would leave the uk worse off than if it was still in the european union. the signatories include the chief executive of waterstones, james daunt, and the lastminute. com founder, lady lane—fox. earlier i spoke to our political correspondent jonathan blake, who explained more. many of these names are actually card—carrying remain as all former remainers am a people whose opposition to brexit betray much well—known. they are coming together to form a group called business for a people's vote, part of the campaign by the people's vote group to campaignfora campaign by the people's vote group to campaign for a public vote on the terms of any brexit deal. they say in their letter that the business community was promised... neither of those options, they say, where on the ballot paper and 2016, and they say the ultimate choice should be handed back to the people. of course, a

thank you very much, alex forsyth, in downing street.icion of a public order offence after a video was posted showing a cardboard model of grenfell tower, being burned on a bonfire. they handed themselves in to a police station in south london last night. the prime minister has condemned the video as "utterly unacceptable". almost 850 jobs are to go in dundee, where the michelin tyre factory is be closed down the year after next. -- is —— is to be closed down. the french firm said the site is "unsuitable" given current market conditions. union leaders have described it as a "hammer blow" for dundee and a betrayal of the workforce. james shaw reports. they've been making tyres here for almost 50 years. the michelin plant is dundee‘s largest industrial employer, workers read about the closure in their local paper. we were never told this was going to happen. in the courier last night was the first i'd ever heard of it. it's a disgrace. yes, the way it came out. it shouldn't have come out like that. did you expect something might happen the

and the next had been marked on the tarmac outside number ten downing street for the prime minister to come out to give a statement to the waiting media now we know that the cabinet meeting is vastly over running it's going to run at least until six pm perhaps even longer it seems that all the ministers assembled around that long table want to have a very long say now are they saying their piece before they fall into line behind the prime minister's plan or are they say venting their spleen before they decide to resign from the government it's too early to say and there is also pressure for the for the prime minister to come back to parliament which has already been today to give a further statement to the house in the prime minister's questions which happened around lunch time she was assailed from all sides by british years and by the opposition about the deal. cells within this plan i have to say the prime minister to resign may came out fine let's have a listen. i'm confident this takes a significant closer to live to delivering on what the british people voted for and . we will ta

we have been constantly questioning the downing street spokesman about why she keeps saying brexit, wilke have a position where they want to stop it and referring to other things, fine, but they want to do things that will you —— role universal credit, unless the government itself brings legislation to stop it it won't happen. alessio potato government, you cannot have a general election and the whole idea that brexit itself is under threat, i don't think it's as strong a card to play to the heart brexiteers as bait thinks it is. i think what she's tried to do is scare true —— the two extreme and the debate by telling brexiteers that if they hold out for the diaper brexit they want, the deal brexit, you might end up with no brexit and telling the remainders to one second referendum, if you try to one second referendum, if you try to do be did and get second referendum you made and of inflicting a no deal. not out referring to geoffrey boycott. she's not someone who's over thinking on her feet, but to do not someone who's over thinking on herfeet, but to do —— to be paired to question put

norman at downing street for you this morning.not perfect but it's the best deal we are going to get. mrs may's message to cabinet whose backing will determine whether her deal and maybe her premiership survives. we will tell you what is actually known about this withdrawal agreement, and we want to know from you this morning, is this what you voted for? a third of people in debt wait for more than a year before seeking help — accpording to new research today. we'll talk to this man who took 30 years and debts of £50,000 before he asked for help. where do your children get their news from, and do they know if it's true or fake? twitter, instagram. normally on the tv and social media such as snapchat and twitter. i get a lot of my news from the tv like itv news, bbc news. some of it comes from social media, mainly snapchat. we've been finding out how youngsters are being taught to spot what is real and what is fake news. hello, welcome to the programme. we're live until ”am this morning. this draft agreement and what you have heard

downing street had a briefing for labour mps to try to win them over, a tactic by the way that woulduriate conservative mps, but fewer than 30 labour mps turned up to this, and when you have 90 of your own mps who have said they are not go to vote for it, then having 30 who are interested maybe interested is not going to balance the numbers. the telegraph, there has been an intervention from america. trump: made's deal means no trade deal. barack 0bama got into trouble when he intervened in the brexit discussions before the referendum but president trump is lying on anyway. it must have been a terrible day for theresa may, at least required a lot of stamina, and you would probably check your phone, or an aid does it, and then the president says he hates your deal as well stop not what you want at 90 at night but trump has been all over the place on this. if you remember, initially there was a loving, trump and may in washington. holding hands. this was going to be broken's future outside the you're. then when he was initially down on the deal, chequers plan, didn't like it at all, wh

cabinet ministers have been going into downing street today to going into downing street today to gobetween britain and the eu, to review it, but it is missing a crucial 5%, as the prime minister says the withdrawal agreement is 95% complete. what is missing is the remaining 5%, which pertains to the potential backstop, which both the eu and the uk have agreed to include. a reminder, that is in case a trade deal heart be done and put in place by the end of the transition period, it is a way of ensuring that there will be no checks on the border between the northern ireland and the republic of ireland, and throughout the last day oi’ ireland, and throughout the last day orso, ireland, and throughout the last day or so, we've had calls for legal advice which the attorney general has been giving to the prime minister and cabinet to be published in full, both either to government ministers or mps. labour says that that should happen, the democratic unionist party says that it should happen, and they have gone further and said that it should be published and said that it should be publish
