our first report this lunchtime is from our europe correspondent adam fleming. don't you hate it when you arrive early? theresa may appeared to touch down in berlin before angela merkel was ready to meet her, but the eu has been hanging around too, the german chancellor and others waiting for the uk to say what it will do with any extra time in the brexit process. and that's what european affairs minister is arriving here in luxembourg for a briefing on brexit wa nt luxembourg for a briefing on brexit want from the uk too. a plan. from every diplomatic limbo, the same message. of course, we still need clarity from the uk's side, the extension will be regarded upon by the government, of course. we want to understand what the uk needs this

adam fleming, bbc news, luxembourg.ss—party talks between the government and labour are set to continue to try to find a way of getting parliamentary approval for theresa may's brexit deal. but with no agreement so far, and just four days to go before the uk is meant to leave, mps are openly voicing frustration. here's our political correspondent ben wright. ina hurry in a hurry to find more time, theresa may left downing street for berlin desperately seeking another delay to brexit. the prime minister is telling eu leaders she can finally get a deal passed through parliament by the end ofjune. theresa may has said that the withdrawal agreement itself cannot be renegotiated with the eu, but some brexit back cabinet ministers have other ideas. the prime minister is up to see angela merkel today, and what i think would be fantastic is if angela merkel will try to support a proper uk brexit by agreeing to reopen the withdrawal agreement. and some tory backbenchers clearly hate the idea of another delay. ladies and gentleme

adam fleming is in brussels.rk what the eu has been saying about an extension is that if theresa may wants to get along extension to the brexit process , along extension to the brexit process, another one, to the one we've already had, she would have to louder convincing plan for away forward by next wednesday. she has got a plan for away forward but the question is, whether eu leaders are convinced by it. we had a tweet from donald tusk, the chair of the european council, who chaired —— was chairing the meeting next wednesday, saying it is too soon to tell what will happen. there is no clarity he says but he urged the other 27 eu leaders to be patient so wait and see what she comes up with. then a whole lot of other dates to bear in mind. the summit next wednesday where leaders will make a decision about an extension. if there is no extension, the uk would be leaving the eu with no deal on the 12th of april and as nick was saying, the other big day that everyone has got in mind is the 23rd of may because that's

let's speak to our brussels reporter, adam fleming.ofan majority of them have been in favour of an extension and they have been in favour of this idea of a flexible, longer extension. what eu leaders will have to do tonight is ta ke leaders will have to do tonight is take a maximum end date for that extension, some say it could be december this year or march next year but it will be made very clear that if the british parliament can approve the deal and get it through, then the uk could leave earlier than that. but there will be some small print. in the draft document that leaders will look at today, if the uk do not participate in the eu parliament elections, it could leave automatically. if it stays on for a lot longer, it will have to behave well, it cannot disrupt or jeopardise the eu's upcoming business like the upcoming budget or picking a new president for the european commission. lots of countries worried if a new prime minister or government not sticking to the rules. can you do a light touch version of it or do you need touch

let's get the reaction from brussels with our reporter adam fleming.seems the mood was amicable. it seems the mood was amicableli it seems the mood was amicable.” think that is putting it too far, there were lots of disagreements behind—the—scenes, although nobody left and a half or stormed out and this halloween date, the new deadline for the brexit process, halloween of all days, is shorter than some wanted. the dutch wanted it to be a year, and it is longer than some expected, for example the french and austrians. also in the written statement there are words talking about how the uk will have to behave well as a member in the extension and notjeopardise the functioning of the eu, but no official mechanism to make that happen. some people were looking for that, as well. the fact is the uk is still faced as donald tusk said with the same choices, past the deal, come up with a new brexit strategy, probably a closer future relationship than the one the government has pursued, or cancel brexit altogether and revoke the request to leave. all that has hap

adam fleming, thank you very much.d at the scene. it comes after three teenagers were taken to hospital earlier in the day after being stabbed within minutes of each other in north—east london. israelis go to the polls today in an election that could award benjamin netanyahu a record fifth term as prime minister. his right wing likud party faces strong competition from a centrist alliance led by a former military chief, benny gantz. polls suggest the two are closely tied. 13 prison officers had to be taken to hospital after being assaulted by teenagers at a young offenders institution in feltham, in west london. the officers were among about 20 staff attacked during an outbreak of violence at the weekend. prison officers have partly blamed increasing tensions at feltham on recent changes in the treatment of inmates who misbehave. courts are to be issued with the first detailed guidelines on sentencing criminals with mental health conditions and disorders. under the proposals, judges and magistrates would try to determi

fleming had already flown back to london. another method the cia considered was assassination. one idea was to assassinate not just fidel but also his brother and another, a sort of assassination trifecta. a more serious cia plan was approved by dwight eisenhower later in the month. march 17, 1960. the plan developed by richard bissell, cia's famously brilliant director of plans, was to use some of the cubans who had been fleeing castro mainly to florida to return to cuba and overthrow him. originally the idea was to infiltrate these men in small groups but gradually that shifted to something more world war ii style amphibious invasion. the plan was never that the 1,400 men of the brigade was supposed to overrun cuba and somehow defeat castro's army of 25 or 30,000. rather, it was to land the brigade on a significant piece of real estate and hold it for a length of time, maybe a week, up to 10 days, and at some point the brigade would fly in a provisional government, which the cia had assembled in miami and which was being kept in a safe house at the time, and then this governm

adam fleming gave us an update from brussels a little earlier. been saying to theresa may for months now that if she doesn't have the votes on her own side, she has to reach out to the other side to get the deal through. they are pretty please that she's adopting that strategy now, the european parliament ‘s brexit coordinator tweeted last night better late than never. people in brussels have exactly the same questions that people have in westminster, what does the end product of this cross—party discussion going to be? can both political parties, the conservatives and the labour party, survive their leaders working together? with this go down the route, the plan be sketched out of more indicative votes in parliament? what will that lead to? and will there be more deadlock at the end of it? one of the first eu leaders who suggested this approach was the danish prime minister, he tweeted last night that he was welcoming this, and then asked,isit he was welcoming this, and then asked, is it too good to be true? we got a cryptic tweet from donald tu

lets across to brussels and adam fleming.ality now, at this stage, that the extension, in whateverform now, at this stage, that the extension, in whatever form that comes, will be agreed to? yes and no. a majority of european countries are in favour of this idea that has been put forward by donald tusk, the president of the european council, ofa president of the european council, of a long, flexible extension to the brexit process that the uk could leave earlier if it ratifies the deal. the danish prime minister, in the last few minutes, said he was behind that idea. although the actual end date for that extension is still a bit of a mystery, because in the draft document that has been circulated in brussels, that leaders will sign up circulated in brussels, that leaders willsign up to, circulated in brussels, that leaders will sign up to, the maximum end date is in there as xx.xx.xxx, left for eu leaders to decide. the options are either december this year or march next year, spring 2020. here is what the irish mep and vice

but first, let's go to brussels and speak to our correspondent adam fleming... that letter perhaps on donald tusk‘s desk as we speak. meanwhile, he is proposing a flexible extension to brexit, what does that mean exactly? in simple terms, the idea donald tusk is putting on the table is article 50, the brexit process in the eu treaty, the date of that, which has already moved from 29th of march to the 29th of april, be moved to the end of march 2020. but there isa to the end of march 2020. but there is a little spin on this which is it would be very clear that if the uk parliament managed to get the brexit deal through, then the uk could leave on a date that was earlier than the end of march 2020. we have thought that might be the 22nd of may but it sounds like theresa may is asking for it to be the 30th of june. you are right, the e—mailfrom downing street will have landed in donald tusk‘s inbox a few minutes ago. my reaction is, the eu won't go for this because they want a longer extension, so this... they have a clear end point rather than having to constantly

to our political correspondent in westminster but first let's talk to our brussels reporter, adam fleminge donald tusk, the president of the european council, has always been in favour of an extension. this is up to the longer end to give the uk the maximum amount of time and space to work out what it wants to do, whether that is get this deal through, change the deal to a different kind of brexit, have a referendum, stay in, change the government, have an election. he wa nts to government, have an election. he wants to have maximum space available and it's worth remembering what donald tusk is's job is. in the run—up to summits like the one we'll have in brussels next wednesday, he speaks to all the leaders in person or on the phone, try to find a consensus position to unite everyone but then he puts it on the table and the ultimate decision is down to the leaders. the plan can change quite significantly once those prime ministers and presidents and chancellors get into the room and get their hands on the document. of course it has to be signed up to by the uk. the last time an extension

it will be interesting to see how the character that ian fleming created fits into the modern world.21st—century. interesting, lea seydoux is returning, who played his partner in the last film. it is unusual to have a key female character involved with bond who is not discarded by the plot or other means, continuing into the next and possibly part of the help with that aspect of the film is one of the announced writers, phoebe waller—bridge, of fleabag and killing eve fame. they are going to be filming around the world, pinewood studios in buckingham but also here injamaica, italy, norway and the film is due for release next april, 2020. fans will be eagerly awaiting a title and also to see how one of their favourite characters can change and entertain them after all these years. well, with me now is mark 0'connell, author of catching bullets, memoirs of a bond fan. it is fairto it is fair to say you are a super fan. yes, i have a field goal card i think. first of all, rami malek is the big news today. is he the right man to play a bond villain? absolutely. he is the third bond villa

adam fleming in brussels, thank you. adam fleming in brussels, thank you very much.land and wales are in deep crisis according to a report by mps. they say there's been increase in overcrowding caused by the use of longer sentences and cuts to funding. they've found the number of prison places has not kept pace with demand. here's our home affairs correspondent tom symonds. a riot in hmp birmingham... 0vercrowded, underfunded and increasingly unsafe. mps on the justice select committee say something must be done about our prisons. there has been a string of riots behind bars. the pressure is so great, building more prisons is no longer a sustainable solution, according to today's report. the number of inmates has fallen slightly in recent years but only after growing steadily for 25 years, from 114,000 in 1993 to 82,000 in 2018. because more criminals are being jailed for longer. in the last five years, budgets have been cut by 15% and the ministry ofjustice estimates that closing the funding gap would mean cutting the prison population by 20,000. that's a fifth. mps

adam fleming is in luxembourg — and has sent us this update.en happening in luxembourg today is a meeting of the eu general affairs council, the eu affairs ministers for the member states. meeting first of all this morning without the uk to talk about brexit and that request from the uk for a delay to the brexit process until the 30th ofjune. the minister spoke for about an hour, the heard from michelle barney of the chief negotiator who then came out at a press c0 nfe re nce negotiator who then came out at a press conference and briefed us on what they were discussing. the main thing to point out about what he was saying is that the uk must come up with a credible road map, a plan to justify an extension to the brexit pi’ocess justify an extension to the brexit process and the length of the extension would be based on the purpose of the extension. into that we can read that the eu does not think theresa may has provided a clear enough justification for delay for the brexit process yet. you might remember last friday theresa may wrote to donald

from brussels, here's our correspondent adam fleming. michel barnier sat out the menu of options facing the uk. pass the deal in the next few days and briefly delay brexit for a few weeks to settle the details or... if the uk parliament does not vote in favour of the withdrawal agreement in the coming days, only two options would remain. leaving without an agreement or requesting a longer extension of article 50. it would be the responsibility of the uk government to choose between these two options. he's willing to change the part of the deal about the future to make it more appetising to mps, who want a closer economic relationship. but the terms of the divorce are settled. i don't want to make any comment. just, we are waiting for news from london. when is the last moment the news could come? we are waiting, we are still waiting. the chief negotiator has laid out some of the choices and some of the costs but what happens next in brexit is a decision for eu leaders when they meet theresa may at a special summit in brussels next week. t
