the justice secretary, david gauke, has suggested the government should support a softer brexit — if rise in the number of adults calling a national helpline for the children of alcoholic parents, according to figures seen by the bbc. and in sport... celtic defeat rangers 2—1 in a fiesty old firm derby, to go 13 points clear at the top... james forrest scoring the winner with 4 minutes to go victor camarasa's smartly taken goal gives cardiff a second—half lead in their premier league clash with chelsea. jonny bearstow smashes 114 — a record ipl score by an englishman — for the sunrisers hyderabad, as they inflict a heavy defeat on on the royal challengers bangalore. we'll have more on those stories in the next hour. there's been a sharp rise in the number of adults calling a national helpline for the children of alcoholic parents, according to figures seen by the bbc. in 2013 the majority of calls to the national association of children of alcoholics were from children but now more than 80% of calls are from people over the age of 18. the department of health said it was investing si

thejustice secretary, david gauke, has suggested the government should support a softer brexit, if mpss been a sharp rise in the number of adults calling a national helpline for the children of alcoholic parents, according to figures seen by the bbc. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's chris mitchell. good afternoon. chelsea scored two late goals as they cam from behind to beat cardiff 2—1. camarasa had put the welsh side ahead early in the second half, but with less than 10—minutes to go azpilicueta headed in to make it 1—1. he was though clearly offside. and then with very little time left, ruben loftus—cheek got the winner. the win means there's only a point between chelsea in fifth and spurs in third. mauricio pochettino's side are at liverpool this afternoon and they kick off in about10—minutes... liverpool — out at anfield warming up — will go top if they win — they're favourites to do so. spurs were struggling in the league before the international break and their spot in the top four — especially after chelsea's win today — looks vulnerable. there's

thejustice secretary, david gauke, said that it wouldn't be sustainable for ministers to ignore the houseiews. tomorrow mps will once again discuss the options other than accepting mrs may's deal — which has now been rejected three times — and vote to see if they can find a consensus on the way forward. here's our political correspondent, jonathan blake. shame on you! a week of protest at parliament when people came to westminster demanding decisions. the government suffered another defeat now needs to make its next move. tomorrow mps will try again to agree on an alternative to the prime minister's deal. and one cabinet minister has made clear the government must listen. if parliament is voting overwhelmingly against leaving the european union without a deal but is voting in favour of a softer brexit then i don't think it is sustainable to say, well, we will ignore parliament's position and therefore, leave without a deal. i don't think that is a sustainable position. time for reflection at church this morning. the prime minister knows a customs union with the eu would be a huge shift an

david gauke acknowledged in the interview earlier on, you heard a clip in the report, we cannot get our first choice in parliament so we have to look at another way which may look at doing things we promised we wouldn't. whether theresa may is willing to do that herself is a different matter. is it still your impression that the government wants to try once more for theresa may's deal or at least the prime minister wants to try once more? i think she would but who could know what is theresa may's mind and what she is being advised. we know there are different opinions in downing street about the best course of action from here on. it remains, we are told, the ambition of the prime minister to get a deal through parliament still after those three defeats and number ten were spinning on friday votes were going in the right direction but it is still a huge task and tall order. that is what you have got government ministers and others saying if we tweak things and take the idea of a customs union that parliament can get behind and tack that onto the political declaration of the deal that lo

david gauke, the justice we could face after brexit.ficant difficulties with food supplies and there are empty shelves, could result in violence and war criminal cases? of course it can‘t. what dreams we were sold in the referendum and what nightmares we now face. he says he would not vote for and he will resign if necessary if no—deal brexit, even if it is a three line whip that is the option thatis three line whip that is the option that is put to him. the conservative party should be the party of the economy, security and integrity of the uk and in my view, crashing out is not consistent with that, he says. those lines about could it resulting violence? he is a significant figure. is he right to speculate about whether it could end up speculate about whether it could end up in violence? if the food chains are affected, clearly... my brother is an insulin dependent diabetic and asked his pharmacist if he will get insulin and the pharmacist is not sure. there is a lot of planning that should have been done that has not been done and we

thejustice secretary, david gauke, said that ignoring the will of parliament would not be sustainablef mps agree a way forward. mrs may's deal has already been rejected three times, but this week could see her trying to get it through a fourth time. here's our political correspondent, iain watson. chanting: shame on you! the original brexit day has been and gone and the protests carry on. chanting: give us all a final say! this week, crucial decisions will have to be taken if mps are to avoid leaving with no deal by the new deadline of april the 12th. tomorrow, parliament will debate alternatives to the prime minister's proposals. and this cabinet minister made it clear he could live with a closer relationship to the eu, if that's what mps want. if parliament is voting overwhelmingly against leaving the european union without a deal, but is voting in favour of a softer brexit, i don't think it's sustainable to say, well, we'll ignore parliament's position and therefore leave without a deal. was the prime minister seeking divine intervention today to break the deadlock? she could resur

david gauke is among those who are in favour of a softer brexit and dead against leaving with a new deald there, parliament having voted against that, it will be difficult for the government to ignore it. what about labour's position? labour's position has been somewhat confused over time about exactly how the party would approach brexit if it were in power butjeremy corbyn after the party conference last year came out in favour of having another referendum as an option if labour could not get its preferred form of brexit deal through parliament or there wasn't a general election. this morning, tom watson, the deputy leader has been speaking about the promises that labour would make. obviously, i don't write labour's manifesto. but it seems to me inconceivable that if there was a general election tomorrow, and we hope they will be, we have been calling for when four months, that the people's vote will be in that manifesto. so tom watson has been slightly at odds with the party leadership at times over the past few weeks but making it very clear they are that if we found ourselves with a

on the manifesto commitments, leaving the european union in an orderly manner, in good time, david gauke. he mentioned parliament having voted against that, it would be difficult for the government to ignore. what have labour been saying today? the position of labour has been somewhat confused over time about exactly how the party would approach brexit if it were in power, butjeremy corbyn approach brexit if it were in power, but jeremy corbyn and approach brexit if it were in power, butjeremy corbyn and after the party conference last year came out in favour of having a further referendum as an option if labour could not get its preferred form of brexit deal through parliament or if there was not a general election. this morning tom watson, the deputy leader, has been speaking about the promises that labour would make if there were an election on the idea ofa there were an election on the idea of a second referendum. obviously i do not write the labour manifesto, i am one vote around the table but it seems inconceivable that if there was a general election tomorrow and we hope there wil

by the former prime minister, sir john major, tom watson, deputy leader of the labour party, david gaukes through what is going to be an extraordinary week. the paper is talking about a general election being announced on wednesday. is that true? 0ne being announced on wednesday. is that true? one of the many things we will talk about at ten o'clock. join me then. i notice he said, try to talk us through what is going to happen! it's been described as uber, but for haircuts, a new barber service offering male grooming on the go. it's the idea of a group of entrepreneurs based in london. dougal shaw has more. this may look like an ordinary van on an ordinary street but there's something a bit different going on here. this is actually a mobile barbershop. it's a sight londoners might have to get used to if one young entrepreneur has his way. so when we originally created the idea, we modelled the customer model, we modelled the experience around someone like me, young, black male. he's been running his business for a year now from these offices in brixton, south london. more than 17,000 pe

others like david gauke on the left, he's demanding the same.nior ministers are saying privately they will rebel and resign if they have to. today, mrs may kept them all guessing. one who quit the government and voted to give mps a choice between brexit plans stood by his decision. i think brexit should happen in the right way, which is leaving but leaving on good terms with the best possible opportunity of a good future with the eu. so what will be the choices when mps fill this chamber tomorrow? there's the pm's deal, twice defeated already, or a brexit deal closer to eu customs and market rules than mrs may's, maybe comparable to norway's. a fresh referendum is another option. and a brexit with no deal, mps insist they will never support that but it still seems possible. all these proposals will be put forward, the speaker will select them, they will be put on a ballot paper which will be handed to mps and will be asked to indicate yes or no to each one of them, and mps can vote for as many of the ideas as they are prepared to support. still,

it started a few weeks ago with amber rudd, david gauke, and everybody thought if they can do it, soking, in my view, this began when david cameron said that cabinet ministers could campaign on either side in the referendum. that might have been the only politically realistic thing for him to do but since then the bottle stopper has never gone back in the top and that is why so many people in the tory party feel that they have had carte blanche to say whatever they like. as ian has said, it has degraded dramatically in the last few months. there is a kind of structural problem that has been there a long time. so we have come full circle, if you like, in terms of exposing those divides that have never gone away, those divisions, i should say, that have never gone away over europe in both parties but particularly the conservative party. the tragedy and the disgrace is that david cameron and the whole of theresa may's premiership has been devoted to holding the tory party together at the cost of everything else in the country, at the cost of an absolutely lousy deal, are failing to reac

david gauke who was here saying oh no, we have plenty to concentrate our minds on, there is no questionughts of her going. it is game on for him. we have always known he wants to be prime minister. but i think at the end of the day this sun chris —— country is in a huge mess. i asked peter hennessey is it the worst crisis since suez? he said this is suez in slow motion. and then a bit more. suez on steroids. exactly! you can see that really, we are running out of historical precedent, we are back to 1940, the fall of chamberlain and the ascent of churchill. we will see whether tonight is a step in the right direction. direction. thank you you very much indeed. so in the house of commons right now, mp5 are debating the formal change to brexit day from the formal change to brexit day from the 29th march to either the 12th april or 22nd may, depending whether they pass the deal. and they will be voting on that, we think, later tonight. mp5 have already been casting a ballot on eight proposals on the future of brexit, the so—called indicative votes and earlier this evening, as naomi has bee

those are seniorfigures thejustice secretary, david gauke.ent that have not voted with the government tonight, and if we did not already know before, we see very deep division in great anger in the conservative party that will not heal any time soon. before we speak to katya adler, here are some copy from adam fleming, one of her colleagues in brussels, saying this is what a european commission spokesperson said. "we take note of the votes in the house of commons this evening. there are only two ways to leave the eu: with or without a deal. the eu is prepared for both. to take no deal off the table, it is not enough to vote against no deal — you have to agree to a deal. we have agreed a deal with the prime minister and the eu is ready to sign it." katya, what is your analysis? how long have you got?! quite a while! the eu is confused. i had so many contacts from different member states asking me to explain what is going on, where will this end up? that is why the eu has taken a big step back. the message has been not just from the commission

an hour, most are on the brexit side of the arguments, no sign of amber rose, greg clark or david gauke to speak in the next ten minutes or so. we have this denied report from the elysee palace in france, emmanuel macron saying he was minded not to agree to it. there is a lot of fractious reaction in europe. the thing about theresa may, if she doesn‘t speak tonight, every time there is a podium in downing street, your heart leaps a bit. last time she did that, it was to announce a general election and there was a hint during prime minister‘s questions, that, as prime minister, she is getting fed up with all of this, and the head there that she could be thinking about her own future goods are to are a lot of tory mps that say they have been told by people in downing street and others, by the party whips, those in charge of discipline, saying to them, which about her deal if she was to announce... ? them, which about her deal if she was to announce. . . ? we're going to join donald tusk. i will make a short statement on brexit. out of the statement, he will unfortunately not be able or in
