speaker this morning i had ministerial meetings with colleagues and others. in addition to my duties in this house. i shall have further duties later today. >> john mann. >> the prime minister says there is more money for the national health service, more nurses, more doctors, yet, yet the unit has been cut back and the children's ward has been closed overnight. something clearly doesn't add up, therefore, i and the mothers of most seriously ill children who use the children's ward the most frequently offer to the prime minister to work with her to solve this problem. is her door at number 10 open to us? >> i say to the honourable gentleman, if we look what has happened in his area, hnhs commissioning group is receiving a cash increase. the bassett hospitals and hs foundation trust seeing 80 more doctors and nearly 30 more nurses. of course what he we see, he talks of listening to the voice of local people in relation to health services in a local area but exactly what the sustainability and transformation plans are about, it is about hearing from local peopl

then at the ministerial meeting, such a decision could be made.s too early to make conclusions or statements today. especially considering that all participating countries have presented today. this opec needs more time, more looking into and research done before the meeting. morning, theyhis are saying if a deal is extended, you're looking at $60 a barrel higher this year. there is complexity with a reduction of inventory. hereke to an oil minister, is his view. >> i think come the spring, when people start to move a lot, gasoline demand, the refinery turnaround is over, we will see some positive inventory reduction as we expect. the extension of the agreement, in my opinion is highly likely it will happen. the results of the meeting in kuwait, plenty of meetings to look forward to over the next couple of months. david: reality check right now. we are looking at west texas down a third. the most active contract and brent down about a 10th of 1%. this may play out for the world's biggest refinery, will more than double plans for be spending for th

we had a defense ministerial meeting in february where jim mattis attended.l accounts was a god meeting. i expect -- good meeting. i expect this will be a good meeting as well. there is anxiety. there is anxiety for two reasons. one, because russia is probing and testing and posing a more aggressive stance vis-a-vis nato. they're planning an exercise in the fall of 100,000 troops on nato's borders. and that's creating anxiety. among our allies, particularly in the east. at the same time, allies are worried about whether the united states will be there for them. clearly during the campaign, the president -- then candidate donald trump called nato obsolete and argued that it was not dealing with threats that it needed to be dealt with. afterwards he has more strongly supported it, nato, which is important, but links it constantly to this notion that somehow allies owe the united states vast sums of money as he put it in the tweet you just had on there. so, they're worried whether the united states will be there. so the key mission really for secretary tillerson

the answer is that it does have a lot of ministerial cover because it is an area that crosses over to sport through the digital agenda, the chancellor through the prosperity agenda, and the cabinet office, who are coordinating it. the chancellor does chair the subcommittee, but i think i would humbly suggest that depending on where your focus is going to be, because it covers so many different areas, defence, organised crime, sexual exploitation, digital element, i would focus on the different ministers' responsibilities and perhaps everybody could have the opportunity. i produced the first cyber strategy in 2008 and most people couldn't spell cyber. i had difficulty in getting some departments to accept there would even be a cyber strategy. when the cyber strategy came out, i was made cyber security minister. i hear what you say about working out which area we are interested in, but bearing in mind the all—embracing nature of cyber now, it seems there should be a minister who sees their role as absolutely making sure this is co—ordinated across to parliament. it is a crowded place in

>> the joint ministerial process, committee process, has been operating now for some months at various levels. it's been bringing ministers together if the united kingdom together with the three administrations at various levels discussing the issues that have been raised on both sides, including looking aing a -- looking at what the world government provided on particular concerns that wales has an those are being taken into account. >> the premier of luxembourg believes apparently that we might yet be persuaded to stay. are there others like him? and if the emphatic proceedings yesterday has not disabused him, will she do so in the nicest possible way? >> i have to say to my right honorable friend, i think we can be reassured that the votes that took place in this house and in the house of lords last night and the passing of the european union withdrawal notification bill into royal aaccident will give a >> the prime minister. >> thank you mr. speaker. i'm sure members will want to join in wishing people across the uk and around the world happy st. patrick's day this coming friday. t

this morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others in addition to my duties in this house i shall have her there such meetings today. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i join the prime minister in celebrating international women's day. since 2010, conservatives in government have a record of protect team and enforcing both those that risk and the dems that domestic violence. myself when i joined by police in a day to thank them for the difficult a job. even as far as too many women are still at risk. what more can the prime minister due to tackle this? >> my honorable friend raises a very serious issue. it's one in which i've taken a particular personal interest and attach great fortune to this issue. tackling domestic violence is a key priority and what we have done already in government i think has potential to transform the way in which we think to tackle these terrible crimes when they take place. we've already committed to bring forward new legislation and i've confirmed an additional 20 million pounds to support organizations working to tackle domestic violence and abuse.

it was in a rich ministerial statement for parliament. i might remind him he talked about the importance of parliament but we accepted the importance of parliament and made a statement to parliament and referred to the social security advisory committee, my right honorable friend, the pension secretary calls the chairman of the social security advisory committee and spoke to him on the regulations, called the chairman of the pension select committee and spoke to him about the regulations being introduced, called both offices at the shadow workers pension secretary, there was no answer and they didn't come back. >> mister speaker, mister speaker, calling -- mister speaker, calling -- mister speaker, calling the chairs of two committees and making a written statement to the house does not add up to scrutiny. there was no call to the office of my friends, the shadow secretary. mister speaker, the reality is this is a shameful decision that will affect people with dementia, those suffering cognitive disorders due to a stroke, military veteran

this will give us more information to base a decision on. -- at theadd in his ministerial meeting, aion can be made. it is too early to draw conclusions on this today. not all participating countries were represented today. this topic needs more time. and more research done before a decision can be made. thisf: a note came out morning saying that if a deal is extended, you are looking at $60 a barrel higher this year. there is some complexity involved in the delay. i spoke with the all money oil viewter and here was his as to why the delays were happening. >> i think come spring, when online, and to move>> the refinery turnaround is over, we will see some positive inventory reduction as we expect. for the extension of the disagreement, in my opinion it is highly likely it will happen and it is needed. >> the biggest names in u.s. oil have been gathering for the conference. she steele was there and was talking oil prices and the shale revolution with some of the country's top producers. >> the big question continues to opec-non-opec cut. appears to be here in new orleans, yes to a cer

we had a picture of theresa may looking very prime ministerial in front of great british figures in downingt. clearly a manufactured picture. tweeted out by the first minister's offers. it creates a contrast. —— office. the right leaning telegraph compares it to maggie in downing street. i am old enough to remember that picture. we do actually have a picture of theresa may signing article 50. we can see the contrasts right here as soon as it comes up. the comparison is very deliberate, the difference between nicola sturgeon and theresa may. but as a communications guy, i am asking myself what is nicola sturgeon actually trying to convey by looking so... actually trying to convey by looking so... is that supposed to be her in her business suit in her actual office. in her slippers. this is supposed to be a serious moment for the uk and scotland. i am supposed to be a serious moment for the uk and scotland. lam missing what they are trying to convey. surely it is informality, but for what reason? they seem to be on a collision course, these two women. they absolutely us. section 30. this sect

it was in a written ministerial statement to parliament.i might -- i might remind him week after week he talked to me about the importance of parliament. well, we accepted the importance of parliament and made the statement to parliament. but also, he referred to the social security advisory committee, and they can look at this. my right honorable friend the work and pensions secretary called the chairman of the ssac and spoke to him about the regulations on the day they were being introduced. he called, he called the chairman of the select committee of work and pensions and spoke to him about the regulations that were being introduced. and -- he called both offices of the shadow work and pensions secretary, but there was no answer, and they did not come back to him for four days. >> jeremy corbyn. jeremy corbyn: mr. speaker. mr. speaker. mr. speaker,- calling the -- mr. speaker calling the chairs , of two committees and making a a written statement to the house does not add up to scrutiny, and as i understand it, no call was made to the of

another dup politician in the role of first minister and perhaps even arlene foster in another ministerialrole. but for arlene foster as leader of unionism to stand down from the top political post in northern ireland, would be a very major step. she spoke to the media today in between meetings with the northern ireland secretaryjames brokenshire and a meeting with sinn fein and the dup and did not seem to com pletely fein and the dup and did not seem to completely rule out the thought that a caretaker first minister could ta ke a caretaker first minister could take over. when the prospect was put to her she said it was regrettable but sinn fein had been making red lines, join red lines before the negotiations and said her party was not going to do that but she said these things would have to be worked out in negotiations. so not a flat no but certainly up until now the dup have been vocally resist to the idea that arlene foster should temporarily stand aside as first minister for the duration of the public enquiry. so not a flat note for her to stand aside but surely the dup would not wan

masood was fatally wounded, shot, it's believed, by two members of a ministerial security unit.en just 82 seconds from his car first mounting the pavement on westminster bridge to him being shot. near to masood lay pc palmer, an officer with 15 years experience. you don't expect gunshots in westminster. i looked up to see what had happened and realised there were two people on the floor and there were a handful of policemen around them. former army captain and afghanistan veteran mike crofts, in parliament for a meeting, now emerged from behind a car where he was taking cover. he rushed over to help pc palmer. i tried to assess his wounds as best as possible. i'm not a doctor. i looked back towards the palace of westminster and screamed for a medic. mike wasjoined shortly after by police, security guards and bournemouth mp tobias ellwood, himself a former army officer. he brought with him a good sense of calm. immediately we started to work on pc palmer together to try to help him. you were trying to resuscitate him? yes. medics also worked to save masood. nothing could be done

it sounds like there's a conflict between the nato ministerial summit that ordinarily the secretary of state should attend and the visit by the prime -- the president of china. maybe that's true, but, again, that shows that somebody at the white house should have been looking at the calendar and tried to deconflict those. >> from stanford where russian study students get to hear it from the man, himself, former ambassador mike mcfaul. thank you for being available with us when the subject comes around to russia. >> thanks for having me. >> we'll take our next break tonight. one presidential historian is quoted tonight saying this is the most failed first 100 days of any president. we'll look at what today's news means for the trump white house when "the 11th hour" continues. ♪ ♪ it's spring, and we can't wait to open our sheds and get working on our yards. scotts and miracle-gro are here to help. we make it easy to grow thick, healthy lawns, spectacular plants, and bountiful flowers. because when spring starts right, the months that follow stay perfect. load up your shed with scotts an

i want to pay my own tribute, if i can, to my right honourable friend and ministerial colleague, the of course, also to all those innocents who lost their lives or were injured last week. over the centuries, many people has tried to attack this parliament and none has shaken our faith in our values of freedom and democracy which inform our policies. and talking of policies, the foreign secretary was questioned over claims that the british intelligence gathering centre, gchq ,carried out surveillance on donald trump during the us presidential election campaign. borisjohnson called the allegations absurd and ridiculous and insisted they would not undermine the relationship between the uk and us intelligence agencies. what damage, mr speaker, is done by fantastical and ridiculous outbursts like those of president trump levelled at gchq? and can the foreign secretary assure this house that the invaluable intelligence relationship between us and the united states is not compromised by the current incumbent of the white house? the damage done by such remarks can be likened to that of a gna

he has got no ministerial experience. people talk about him being rather naive. no, it is not true. first, felix tshisekedi was not chosen by the father. by different party politics... butjust because he has the tshisekedi name. it is not because of the tshisekedi name. etienne tshisekedi had a lot of children. only felix was interested in doing the politics, and is somebody... i went as a governor, i had never been in politics. and felix was in politics a long time, in the opposition with his father. i think he is going to be the prime minister. why president kabila doesn't want felix, because he is not somebody of good word. so you mentioned when you were governor, that is when you were governor of katanga province from 2007 to 2015. we will come to that in a moment. here you are saying i think this should happen or that should happen in the drc, but can you have any influence when you are in europe? you are currently based in brussels, effectively in exile. yes, you know, my exile... i am in exile, and still waiting for the country, waiting also on the unity of the opposition. an

minister is going to deliver the certainty that those companies need now rather than a kind of ministerialrything is going to be all right on the night? of course, mr speaker, this is not simply about uk companies because the vast majority of haulage—based cabotage that takes place in the united kingdom is international hauliers operating in the uk, so they themselves have a vested interest in ensuring that their politicians work with us to ensure we have the best possible arrangement for the future. that is what we will do and i am confident other european governments will want to do the same. the prime minister flippantly said in her article 50 speech that we will be leaving eu institutions but not europe, as if that was a good thing. the aviation safety agency plays a crucial role in excluding any aircraft or company that have poor safety records from european airspace, safeguarding the security and well—being of people right across the continent. now that negotiations are underway, this government has a duty to passengers in the aviation sector to tell us if the uk will be a participan
