today we have secured legal changes.must come together to go with this backed brexit deal and deal with the instruction of the british people. the head of the european commission, jean—claude juncker said that the eu had made every effort to be clear about the withdrawal agreement and insisted that the backstop would never be used ‘as a trap‘ in politics, sometimes you get a second chance. this is what we do with the second chance that comes because there will be no third chance. welcome to bbc news. the prime minister is in strasbourg tonight — theresa may says she has secured a deal. she's been holding talks with the eu hoping to secure some last—minute assurances on the brexit deal, which would be put to the vote in the house of commons tomorrow. a few minutes ago she spoke at a joint news conference with the head of the european commission, jean—claude juncker. last november, after two years of ha rdfoug ht last november, after two years of hardfought negotiations, last november, after two years of ha rdfought negoti

it has the same legal status as the withdrawal agreement. it is legally binding.parliament asked us to secure, and thatis parliament asked us to secure, and that is what we have secured. the attorney general, as you know, is independent. people come to his decision, he will publish its legal opinion before parliament, so that parliament has a before it comes to vote tomorrow. i thinki parliament has a before it comes to vote tomorrow. i think i was rather clear moments ago. there will be no new negotiations. it is us. and i am grateful to the prime minister, despite the difficulties we had, not between us, but for the franc to determine where she was able and i was able to reach it. thank you. what are the implications of the unilateral withdrawal mechanism on the backstop? as in, can the uk decided it no longer wants to be pa rt of decided it no longer wants to be part of the backstop? does it diminish the backstop in any way? is the backstop still legally operable as interpreter before ? the backstop still legally operable as interpreter before? the unilateral c

the fact is that there are always legal risks of various kinds, we walk among legal risks all the timef us more than others, perhaps! but the truth of the matter is we don't determine our behaviour by them, we ta ke determine our behaviour by them, we take practical judgments every minute of the day, every day of the week, about whether the legal risks week, about whether the legal risks we are engaged in are ones that are worth taking, and i say to my honourable friends, as i say to all honourable friends, as i say to all honourable members, we must come to a decision on this question today. and i would urge the house to consider carefully these... there is no real legal basis to be seriously troubled that the union will never reach agreement with us. if it is through bad faith, then we have further improvements in the deal now. but because we just can't reach agreement when the alternative arrangements are now cemented into this deal in a manner they have not before, i think not. in all candour, i think not. stella creasy. thank you, mr speaker. in layman and lay woman's terms, nothi

we could not prosecute them here legally. did not have groups out there protesting with me, standing with me. this was pretty much my own endeavor. ultimately, thank goodness, the u.s. congress did not support nazi war criminals. we got the laws changed. even though the justice department did not want to have a special unit dealing with nazi war criminals, we were able to do that. after the record is a good -- the record is a good one. more than 100 alleged nazi war criminals had charges brought against them. many were forced to leave this country. to the extent that justice was able to be done, in response to the horror of the deeds, justice was done. it was only me, pretty much. that change took place. at least we could say the united states is not providing sanctuary to nazi war criminals any longer. the consequence of that is, we hope that this -- the idea of providing sanctuary to war criminals will extend beyond nazis. lessons of the holocaust, the lessons of world war ii have not been understood around the world. we st

legal force, injanuary said it had legal forceful. legalforce, legally binding?d as people go through the detail that is the only conclusion they can reach. we will all see what the attorney general has to say, but i can't see on the basis of those documents that, realistically, he can now change his mind and save that the backstop is something that can unilaterally be ended. to remind viewers, he will give legal guidance on what he thinks theresa may make those changes last night. you said i waiting for the attorney general, when you said hello to us. quite a lot of people waiting to see how he reacts and will tailor their reaction to that. i had said these changes are not significant and i do not think he can realistically change his mind. former attorney general dominic grieve has come to the same conclusion. the eyes are all in geoffrey cox, the attorney general. he will give advice. i think he needs to come to parliament to make a statement as well, so he can be questioned. schedl brexit secretary keir starmer, there. speaking to reporters outside his offici

four arguments about a legal work. first, it must be visible in order to vex the knotty powerbrokers. second, that it also must be visible to individual socialists in order to provide a source of moral authority and inspiration. the nazi must expose leadership self-deception about popular set to this -- popular -- to drive a wedge between to strikeand in order at the leadership principle, which was at the heart of the nazi theory of the state. thatkel argued work must take place without anyone arguing their time. he concluded his essay, "yes, we have become criminals. if we were not empowered by our legal that we would sink into the smog that oppresses germany. because we work illegally, we keep ourselves fresh. that is the point of the legal socialist work in the third right. to infuse the workers with strength. the waverers with trust. the sufferers with hope. .nd the rulers with fear does he legal work have a point? what would germany be without a legal work." raenkel's approach broke the paralysis that beleaguered

advice and is a different legal advice and is a different legal advice and is a different legal advicein december when he was quite lukewarm about the backstop and was worried the uk could be held in the permanently. does he go from thumbs down to thumbs up? the question is, how many mps are one over by that and is it enough to get the deal over the line it kickstart a whole series of other boats that are due to ta ke series of other boats that are due to take place in parliament? your point about the dup, theresa may really wa nts point about the dup, theresa may really wants to make sure they are on side. the strategy she's been pursuing has been to keep them onboard and by doing that, win back loads of conservative mps from our own party to support the deal. when it comes to the labor party, downing street have known labour will not support this deal wholesale but they are hoping there are enough labour mps who are in favour of brexit a nyway mps who are in favour of brexit anyway and enough labour mps who support areas of the country who voted heavily for brexit, that they can be c

and are inviting legally binding and enforcea ble inviting legally binding and enforceable commitmentsney—general is aware of the request for him to appear tomorrow. i think in terms of the timing of debate, obviously the business for tomorrow has already been announced in may noble way. i'll emphasise that the prime minister made a commitment from the despatch box last week to the timetable for this week. she was pressed by right honourable members from different parts of the house to provide clarity on that. it is her clear intention to stick to the timetable that she has announced. clear intention to stick to the timetable that she has announcedlj am timetable that she has announced.” am grateful to the secretary of state for his statement. i feel i can understand the reasons why the... disappointing there appears to be no arrangements made for november. i hope the secretary of state can confirm that before we finished a 90 statement will be available to all members who want a copy of state has gone on with the peace process guarantee. that is what the backstop is, a peace process g

today we have secured legal changes. is the time to come together to back this improved brexit deal and to deliver on the instruction of the british people. european commission president jean—claude juncker warns voting down the deal would put everything at risk. in politics, sometimes you get a second chance. it is what we do with the second chance that counts because there will be no third chance. investigators recover the voice and data recorders from the ethiopian air crash. but as more airlines ground the type of plane involved — us aviation officials say they believe it is airworthy. it's been ruled a "socially harmful cult" by the new south wales supreme court. we track down the group known as universal medicine. welcome to bbc news. the british prime minister has declared legally binding changes to her brexit deal, just hours before the house of commons is due to vote on it. theresa may has been seeking additional assurances about the irish backstop — the measure to prevent the return of border controls between n

a lot of focus has been put onto legal changes, and i'll come onto the fact that there are legally bindingust complete this. but the right honourable gentleman is absolutely correct. the danger for those of us who want to deliver, to have faith with the british public and deliver on their vote for brexit, is that if this vote is not passed tonight, if this deal is not passed, then brexit could be lost. that argument did win over one previous rebel. she will know that i did not withdraw the withdrawal agreement at the last vote, and today i will support it. forgive me, prime minister — unenthusiastically, but i will support it, because i agree there is the danger brexit will be lost. there doesn't appear to be the votes in this house for no deal, but there certainly could be votes in this house for the extension of article 50. none of those would deliver brexit. they would frustrate and delay it, and possibly stop it altogether. but the prime minister had less success with other mps. the dup have announced they are not supporting the deal. the erg have announced they are not happy with the

the legal opinion is quite clear, geoffrey cox's legal opinion is similar.ese decisions are risk-free. one of the risks theresa may mentioned was the possibility that brexit is lost altogether. that's absolutely right, and something we have to consider, whether it is a realistic risk or a phantom. my view is that it is a phantom. my view is that it is a phantom because the moral authority of 17.4 million people voting to leave is very considerable. very few people openly campaigning to overturn the referendum results. i don't think it is an immediate risk but it is of course something we must consider. where you disappointed when you heard the attorney general‘s decision this morning? was there a part of you hoping he would say this has legal backing? i would have been delighted. the default position of conservative mps as we want to support the prime minister, and government policy. but geoffrey cox's legal opinion didn't make that any easier. what happens if theresa may loses tonight? that is a very good question. there will be a series of votes in the nex

legal force, legally binding, that is the difference, the only difference.tionally lawful means of exiting the backstop saved by the agreement. he could not have been clearer. the attorney general made much clearer the difference between political and legal issues but the problem for the prime minister is that she promised legal changes. the father of the house challenged the leader of the opposition on the question of the backstop and rightly so question of the backstop and rightly so andl question of the backstop and rightly so and i make it clear that we have always accepted the need for a backstop, nobody likes the backstop, but it is inevitable. but as the letter from donald tusk and junko junko makes clear, the tool agreement, a political agreement, junko makes clear, the tool agreement, a politicalagreement, a pa rt of agreement, a politicalagreement, a part of the same negotiating package. what i put to the leader of the opposition is the only things that were settling with this vote is the deal we have got on citizens‘ rights, the money that we l an

all of our legal lines. first to you, tom winter. in reporting this out what have we learned about the special counsel's investigation? >> i mean it's significant and frankly somebody who covers these investigations to explain to people the size and scope of what occurred here. 2,800 subpoenas issued. almost 500 search warrants executed. those don't have to be physical search wants, weren't going necessarily into people's homes or businesses but 500 search warrants approximately issued. 50 pen registers issued fairly extraordinary to me. pen register ability for the government to track where and when your cell phone is activated moop you're calling and how long that call is or who's calling you. if does not allow, did not allow the special counsel's office to listen in to those calls or to look at maybe a text message sent back and forth but does establish where people are at a certain place and time and what they're doing on that phone. that's significant to me. 40 fbi agents detailed to this, 19 attorneys and intelligence analysts

bills, not the legal fees that tru trump --s cohen for trump representing trump. you're talking michael cohen is demanding or has filed suit because he believes that donald trump should be paying his current legal bills, ie what he owns lanny davis. >> no. so basically what it is suggesting is that michael cohen incurred a signature amouificanf legal becauses because of his before congress. he is saying that there are bills and some concerattorneys had back then and you agreed to pay those bills. you only paid half in the certain circumstance according to cohen, and again we don't have a response from the trump organization yet. they haven't filed a response in court. this really hasn't been fully entered into the do being ket. they have just dropped the lawsuit. so we're just getting these documents. so i still need to figure out exactly what cohen is claiming as far as when those legal bills should have been stopped. so in other words, whether or not michael cohen's legal brills after he agreed to cooperate with the special counsel's office, after pleaded guilty

they aren't -- >> it's not legal -- >> they're legally present -- >> yes. >> but they're not immigrants. >> thank you very much for your parks, i yield back, mr. chairman. >> the chair recognizes the gentleman from texas, mr. taylor. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. joyce. >> thank you, mr. chairman for yielding. i would like to thank you, secretary nielsen, for appearing before this committee, to speak on the vital issue of border security. particularly on the southern border. the consistent inability of congress to comprehensively address this matter has left you and the president with the inability to take the actions that are necessary to provide what we need for protection. lack of border security has downstream consequences in our country. one of these i would like to refocus on, and that is the opioid crisis, and the devastation and the heart break it has created, particularly in my home state of pennsylvania. i too have met with coroners. as a doctor, as a legislator, the opioid-related deaths in my home state are on the upswing, and are consistently

it is not a legal word.ble, there was collusion in that there were communications for sure, between the trump campaign and the russian, the question is, was there conspiracy, thatis question is, was there conspiracy, that is a legal term, it requires proof of a meeting of the minds, and then this report specifically talks about co—ordination, which my understanding a counter intelligence term, so these are wonky legal terms that don't necessarily mean no collusion, don't necessarily mean full exoneration which is why we need to see what is behind these kind of broad brush strokes in these three—pieces of paper, we need to see the full report and potentially the documentary evidence and transcripts of the grand jury that give rise to the conclusions. as a former assistant attorney you will have some idea of the pressure the attorney general will come under now to release this report in full, he was at pains to say he will be taking it under advicement and will not be rushed into a decision but there will be a

in the country and legally able to work here.t is a simple first step toward tackling larger issues within immigration. in other words, bringing credibility to our immigration system where credibility has been lost because for the last 20 or 25 years we in congress have been telling the american people we are going to control the border and only people could come here legally. and we haven't done it so we got to do things to build up credibility if you can deal with issues like what do you do about the 10 or 11 million people better unauthorized to live and unauthorized to work in america? some people say you are going to load them up and get them out of the country. but that isn't realistic. it wouldn't be humanitarian. but to deal with the issue we've got to have credibility for the whole immigration system and e-verify will help that, along with everything we are doing to control the borders. and we got to do more to control the borders. this is for repeat, simply a first step to tackling larger issues within immigration and b

team had been in discussions with michael cohen's legal team about a pardon. here is what he had to say. >> thank you, everybody. thank you very much. >> mr. president, any talk of pardons between your representatives, your lawyers and michael cohen's legal team? >> thank you all very much. >> will there be any pardons? >> so there you see it, wolf. the president did not want to take that question. he moved on to another reporter and pretended as if he didn't really hear the question when, in fact, you could tell he heard the question. wolf, getting back to what we were just saying a few moments ago, it is rather significant that an administration official is saying that the justice department may have to examine what michael cohen said last week. you were playing that clip a few moments ago. as the congresswoman was saying, maybe you have to parse exactly what michael cohen said, to find out if he perjured himself or was not telling the full truth. taking a hard look at that, and wondering whether or not michael cohen may have, indeed, perjured himself. >> th

collusion is not a legal term. it does not legally describe a crime. and so it's not really in any real legal sense a defense. what do you see in what we -- in what this letter tells us from the attorney general tonight about what there might or might not be in terms of revelations about russian interference in the election, which the word "collusion" is just a descriptive term that some people have come up with basically in the news media. that's not a legal term. and what about the president's continued use of that phrase "no collusion, no collusion"? and many in the news media thinking that it has legal meaning. >> i think he just likes the sound of the word "collusion" or something. because you're absolutely right there. there's no legal word there. the word is "conspiracy." and in have been allegation that's president trump's advisers conspired with the russians in various ways in the 2016 election. now, mueller's mandate was, lawrence, very narrow. it was just on this conspiracy question with russia. and then when trump fired comey because of wha

paul manafort's legal jeopardy is certainly continuing in new york city. i'm not sure it's even occluding as far as that aspect goes. >> collusion is never a crime, but prosecutors are employed by the dozens because we need you so much. but the lie was told with the cooperation of putin. the lie was told by paul manafort about his campaign chairman, about the contracts and polling data he handed over to putin-aligned russian assets. >> it's a mystery we don't know the answer to, why did paul manafort choose to hand over that confidential campaign data? why did he choose to go to madrid to do it? what was so unseemly about his relationship with konstantin kilimnik? >> why wasn't he busy? he was the campaign chairman. >> he had time and it was important enough to go to madrid in the middle of the campaign. can you imagine being on a campaign and just being like, casual jaunt to europe. it still baffles me that that is the one thing that he really went out of his way to lie about. and we still don't know the answer. and you can't help but to feel that with so

it's legal. hey, what's up, man? how're you doing? >> wertheim: hamrick made it clear that his worry is far from isolated. >> hamrick: and most athletic directors that i've spoken with feel the same way. it's like, "oh, no, it's here. what do i do?" >> wertheim: before coming to marshall, hamrick was athletic director at u.n.l.v., the university of nevada las vegas-- at the time, the one place in america where sports gambling was legal. right after he took the job there, hamrick went to a home basketball game. u.n.l.v. was winning by what he thought was a comfortable margin. >> hamrick: and the game was almost over. one of our players had a wide- open lay-up and didn't take it. and the game's over and the fans booed. and-- >> wertheim: the fans booed? >> hamrick: the fans booed. and my wife looked at me and said, "this is really going to be a difficult job. we beat this team as bad as we did, and the fans want us to beat them worse." and i said, "i don't know." and the guy beside me, who was with me at the game, said, "that's not why

kerry, you're our legal analyst. there is a lot of legal stuff going on right now. at least according to mueller, vindication, no collusion. no vindication of obstruction. he left it up to the attorney general. the deputy attorney general. they say there was no obstruction. but he was not completely exonerated by robert mueller. >> he was not. and so one point on obstruction and one on collusion. on obstruction, we're operating under i think a little bit of an assumption that the attorney general made this decision on obstruction in the last 48 hours. from the time that he received -- formally received the mueller report friday evening to this afternoon when he released that letter. i think that's probably not likely. i think he was briefed. i think it's most likely the more likely process is that he was briefed on what the findings of the mueller report were sometime over the course of whether the last week, two weeks or several weeks. and then he had already formed his decision and consulted with the deputy attorney general on his decision that the evidence that t

we may not all agree on the legal issues. we may not understand barr's memo entirely until we see the mueller report. but the stress of this, under stress, people's character emerges. and this stress has shown donald trump to be the person who he is. he's solely interested in himself. he lies s reflexively. he lied today when he said, i am fully exonerated. he's not been. but he's going back to who he is. >> it feels a lot like what we were before this reporting came out. the mueller investigation is over. but then there are still so many other investigations left as the sdny is looking into campaign finance crimes involving the trump organization, as well as looking into the trump inaugural committee. those investigations still pose serious legal trouble for this president. >> yeah, they absolutely do. i mean, this was the biggest one. this was the thing that, if it were proven, this was the worst conduct that he's been accused of committing. p but that doesn't mean he's out of the woods. they're going to be digging into tru

if this is legally binding, that solves that problem. the legally binding that is crucial.d mean that loads of those who voted against it who are on the conservative side would say look, fundamentally nothing has changed and therefore would be inclined to vote against it again. i think two factors could help the prime minister really cut that number in the votes tomorrow. assuming that we'll be here fleshes out something similar to what adam is articulating, which is one, that phrase legally binding since that last perhaps the withdrawal agreement is not being reopened and rewritten, something is being attached to it that has some clout and enforceability in courts. secondly, the giant ticking clock that we are two and half weeks away from brexit and a good number of brexiteers who don't much like the withdrawal agreement, who think it involves too much compromise and isn't the kind of brexit that they would have liked, ultimately a good number of them have spent an entire political lifetime trying to walk their party towards the door marked exit from the european union. th

she was saying there were legally binding verifications and assurances that that was legally binding and therefore trying to give a big boon or a red piece of meat, sometething e hard b brexiter would be hahappy wiwith. is this enoughgh? let's see. the latest attttorney general wl be on his f feet.. we will be caring that live in about 20 mininutes. what w will be interesting i gather the government did not want him to go and make a statement and answer questions. they wanted to merely published his advice. to much pressure from the house of commonsns and very fruststra, dayse very frustrateded mps away from the 2929th of march. genie: we will cover that statement from jeffrey cox. cox. at abobout 1:30 p.m. >> chanting in unison waving the national flag and horns late into the night. festive celebrations resembling those that would typically accompany a sports victory. algerians are rejoicing after two weeks of massive ,emonstrations against his rule the president has abandoned his bid for reelection. >> is a happy day for every algerian, from the eased or the west i cannot express w

in terms of as nation states go and so i do think we are to some degree wading into a legal area that is unprecedented would you disagree or let's bring in chris you know colonel hadfield you've been on the international space station and many of us saw your beautiful video of singing space oddity by david bally thing that was on the space station right and you were tossing that guitar around and singing so beautifully not many people would say oh we need some regulations to control colonel hadfield singing space oddity in space but is the perhaps to your mind. the risk that we do need some regulation to control people other people might want to do in space it shouldn't be a free for all no pun intended. well if we're looking for precedents when the wright brothers first flew in one thousand nine hundred three. was a free for all sort of like drones have been for the last decade where this is new technological capability and then how is it going to become commercialized and normalized and at first it was very much uncontrolled but governments invested a fortune in developing airplanes

some legal guidance from the attorney general that the uk might, just might, be able to legally breake future after brexit, even if many tory mps and ministers are saying quietly that'll be a job for a new prime minister. and mrs may's time may finally be running out. now if you'rejustjoining — we're here at westminster for another historic night in the house of commons. so quick reminder that mp's have tonight approved the government's motion to delay brexit beyond the 29th march. the motion was backed by 412 mps — with 202 voting against the motion. the motion set out two scenarios, either a short extension untiljune 30th to give the house time to approve the negotiated withdrawal agreement and get all the necessary legislation through. or in the absence of an agreement on the prime minister's deal, the likelihood of a much longer extension, with the prospect of the uk taking part in the european elections in may. this was the moment the speaker announced the result. the ayes to the right, 412. the noes to the left, 202. thank you. the ayes to the right, 412. the noes to the left, 2

will you be changing your legal advice?, geoffrey cox, the attorney general. he issued his legal advice this morning. he said that the risk of the uk being tied to the backstop indefinitely has been reduced, but crucially, it has not been eliminated. sirjeremy corbyn. in parliament this afternoon, some tories lent their support to the prime minister and her deal, but many mps were far from convinced. the withdrawal agreement is unchanged and the political declaration is unchanged. the joint statement is a legal interpretation of what is in the withdrawal agreement. the unilateral statement is the uk government trying to fool its own backbenchers because the eu has not even signed up to it. crucially, the dup has said they will not back the deal and several senior brexiteers have signalled the same. the backstop is unacceptable in its present form, and we are profoundly determined to vote against this withdrawal agreement for those reasons alone. so, as westminster watches and waits, it seems the prime minister has another u

we know that based on department of homeland security own data, 89% of legal drugs flow through legal checkpoints. now i have some questions, these are programs at the trump administration wants to terminate and have terminated and it reeks of racial animus. my first question is to mr. arthur. in 2018, washington post reported discussions about providing protection, donald trump said why are we having all these people from should whole countries come here. sir do you agree these are should whole countries? >> absolutely not. >> thank you. i know you shared your story with my staff, want to put on the record some additional facts. other than being a toddler in library have you gone back there at all? >> i only visited once. if you were to be deported, where would you go? >> i do not know. thank you for being here today, my understanding you have four children who are u.s. citizens, if you and your wife were to be deported by donald trump's administration what would happen to your children? >> that is a big question we are trying to answer at this moment. that's why think myself and oth

then they go into a process, a legal system that's overwhelmed. asylum officers. they languish in our system. they are not treated -- they are not treated properly. it's not fair to them and to americans. i think that's the main issue that we need to be solving. i think it's something this administration has asked repeatedly is for congress to step in and try to solve the problem, putting additional resources at the border, making sure we have enough immigration judges to process these claims and make sure that people who deserve asylum have asylum and are able to enter into our country legally. are you surprised to hear them call it a crisis at the border? democrats have avoided that term. >> if we spent time doing what was said, which is getting more judges down there, it's legal to seek asylum. people are coming here. those are american values at play. first he couldn't get mexico to pay for the wall. he couldn't get congress to pay for including it's not an emergency. we're going to need democrats and republicans to help solve this problem. wh

today we have secured legal changes. is the time to come together to back this improved brexit deal and to deliver on the instruction of the british people. eu commission presidentjean claudejuncker warns mps that if they do not vote for theresa may's amended brexit deal — they risk brexit not happening in any form in politics, sometimes you get a second chance. it is what we do with the second chance that comes because there will be no third chance. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are writer and broadcaster mihir bose and baroness ros altmann, the former conservative pensions minister. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in and, unsurprisingly, they're all leading with brexit. the mail goes for "sealed with a kiss" and asks whether what mrs may has got from today's negotiations will be enough for tomorrow's commons vote. the i calls today's discussions ‘may‘s last throw of the dice'. the telegraph says that theresa may's dash to strasbourg has kept

there are needs to be time to look at the legalities of this.as that the attorney general should be able to say that he would change his opinion that the longer the backstop is an entrapment as he said it was previously. so everyone needs to discuss that and we have a group of legal people who are going to look at that as well. so it is tight, but we have to do all of that work before reaching a final conclusion but it sounds like they think they've got something so that is what the statement will be about tonight. we want to see what it is and the legalities of that, is it good enough for him to change his advice, which was quite tough last time, so basically, the agreement was that it would leave us trapped ina was that it would leave us trapped in a backstop which would give them com plete in a backstop which would give them complete negotiating power over us which is not good, serve that changes and he is able to say that it is different and the kit malthouse arrangements are part of a package signed up to by the eu, not just discussed and w
