lord sheikh is very upset. he has had many threatening e—mails which he is referring to the police.e this argument and they have to make a decision on where they stand here. suddenly it does not look so funny. thank you both for now. any will be back at 11:30 p:m., taking a look at all the other papers which have come through. —— i know you will be back. you can watch the papers online on the bbc news website. if you missed this programme any evening of the week, it is on the eye player. thanks to my guests. they will be back shortly. —— the bbc i'd player. i will be back with a summary of the news. good evening. very changeable weather for this weekend. not as extreme as we saw today because there were short lived monsoon like downpours leading to flash flooding, particulars and the south of england. things have calmed down for a little while and we may be largely dry on saturday. more places will have rain at times on sunday. it is very changeable because weather is coming in from the atlantic but it is very slow with this area of cloud eventually pushing our way. that cloud go st

now, lord sheikh is saying that borisjohnson has let the genie out of the bottle.ikh last night, saying he received these abusive messages, adds pressure to the party to at least look as though it is taking this issue seriously. indeed. thank you, jessica. britain's largest business organisation, the cbi, is proposing a new post brexit immigration system, to ensure that the british economy can still attract the workers from the eu that it needs. the proposals call for an end to immigration targets. instead, the new system would be designed to ensure that people coming to the uk make "a positive contribution to the economy," as our business correspondent jonty bloom reports. immigration matters to british industry. the cbi claims that half of all building workers in london are from the eu, british agriculture needs 60,000 seasonal foreign farmworkers every year, and the nhs has seen a drop of 87% on the number of eu citizens registering as nurses and midwives. that is why the cbi says that immigration has delivered significant economic benefits to the uk. it also kn

with due respect, lord sheikh is an insurance broker and an unelected politician.go to mecca. of course he can, but he's not an expert in the field. if one of two women are covering their faces, that's fine. the hadith says you are not supposed to cover yourself. you don't even rely on the hadith. he is quoting the hadith. there's no point quoting it. you can't have your cake and eat it. i'm talking about the koran. let's get back to the women. theologically, they are defeated and then they talk about civil rights. that's defeated, because the european court of human rights and the national declaration of human rights and the un, no way they say that facial masking is part of human rights. the third one, individual choice. i have no issue if they are saying it's an choice but to strip it out of religious connotations. they haven't. now they are saying it is free individual choice. that is the issue here. you use, it seems to be, dehumanising language when it comes to this particular issue of the burqa and niqab. not only dehumanising language, but going back a few

lord sheikh, thank you so such actions. lord sheikh, thank you so much.ent. our business correspondent theo leggettjoins me now. not the first time this year that done this. early in the year edition gas introduced a price increase, up to £60 and now it is going up by another £44 on average so a significant increase over the course of six months. and are they alone in doing this customer all the big six energy suppliers to dominate the market had increased prices at least once this year and several of them like british gas have it twice. british gas has increased by more than most at this stage. smaller suppliers have also pushed up prices and with good reason, these suppliers have to buy their energy on the wholesale markets and wholesale energy prices have been going up. it is complicated but the main reason is the increasing price in crude oil which is reading through a british gas says it has so far protected consumers but now it has got to pass the costs on. and what about fixed tariffs? fixed ta riffs what about fixed tariffs? fixed tariffs are fixe

an apology wasn't enough, for lord sheikh, he said that he should be kicked out of the party. for lordll not be apologising for what he said and that it apologising for what he said and thatitis apologising for what he said and that it is ridiculous that his views have been attacked in this way. in potentially trying to provoke a debate, he has risked straining already difficult relations between the conservative party and muslim communities in the uk. police have launched a murder inquiry following the death of a seven—year—old boy in a house fire. joel urhie died at his home in deptford, south—east london, in the early hours of yesterday morning. two women jumped to safety from the first floor of the house. 0fficers believe it was arson but joel was unlikely to be the target. a petition that could force a by—election in a key seat in northern ireland and remove the current mp ian paisley will open later. the dup politician is already suspended over his failure to declare two family holidays paid for by the sri lankan government. he's apologised, but will face a by—election if 10 per

lord sheikh, a senior conservative peer and president and founder of the conservative muslim forum, wasd offensive and islamophobic as well. this really does continue to divide opinion. as you say, rowan atkinson has intervened defending iris johnson, the former foreign secretary. —— defending borisjohnson. the former foreign secretary. —— defending boris johnson. there the former foreign secretary. —— defending borisjohnson. there has been no suggestion that he will apologise any time soon and he has said he was standing up for liberal values. it is worth remembering that he was arguing against any kind of bad of the burqa in public prices as happened in denmark. there have been a number of complaints made to the conservative party. they are looking at those complaints and whether they need to investigate further. philip hammond has been asked about the celebrity remained tight—lipped. hammond has been asked about the celebrity remained tight-lipped. we have a process within the conservative party for dealing with concerns and complaints that arise about members of our party. that proc

certainly we know that some of them have come from the conservative party members, for example lord sheikhvative muslim forum, he earlier on this week called for borisjohnson to have the whip removed, which would mean that he would no longer be a conservative mp. so he is certainly somebody who we know has made one of these complaints. in addition to the complaints. in addition to the complaints that have gone to the conservative party, we understand that 100 muslim women have also written a letter complaining to the party chairman saying that they thought the whip should be removed. in terms of what happens now, what we understand is that because these complaints have been submitted to the conservative party, the disciplinary process begins a look into whether or not a member has breached the code of conduct. so that process has begun, we understand. there are three stages to that process, so the first stage they look at the complaint and decide whether or not there is a case to answer, whether or not it is something that merits further investigation. so we understand that thatis investig

we also heard from lord sheikh who says he thinks an apology is not enough and the whip should be withdrawnt would be a pretty severe punishment. so far we've heard that isn't likely to happen. the prime minister and brandon lewis the party chairman have called on mrjohnson to apologise. he has not done that yet but we did get a statement from a source close to him who is basically trying to turn this into a debate about whether or not women should wear face debate about whether or not women should wearface veils. debate about whether or not women should wear face veils. but that is not the issue that borisjohnson has been criticised for. this is very much an argument about the language he used, the "letterbox" comment he made about people with face veils, women with face veils looking like bank robbers. that's caused the scrutiny. i've spoken to people in his local conservative party and in hillingdon, where he is an mp, is said to me they represent a diverse ethnic minority group of people and thatis ethnic minority group of people and that is the way they like it and it was down to boris

however, founder of the conservative muslim forum lord sheikh has said he has recieved scores of islamaphobicparents of the us first lady, melania trump, have become us citizens. viktor and amalija knavs took part in a naturalisation ceremony in new york yesterday. the pair are likely to have became citizens under a process — known as chain migration — that has been heavily criticised by the president. 1a years since the sitcom friends ended, its the most popular show for streaming in the uk. figures published by the industry watchdog 0fcom reveal that the us sitcom is the most popular show to stream in the uk — more popular than newer shows such as the crown and stranger things. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 9.30. thanks very much, julian. as we announced earlier, house of fraser has said this morning it is going into administration putting 17,000 jobs at risk. you work for the department store? we would like to here from you, on that and indeed on any of the story is running this morning. do get in touch with us throughout the morning — use the hashtage victoria live and
