mr green? have you let the prime minister down, mr green? that was damian green leaving home this morning. hat the prime minister had no choice but to sack the first secretary of state. everyone understands the pressures politicians are under and no—one is saying he's not an outstanding public servant in the many ministerial posts he did, but in our country and this happens in every government, there are instances where people get pushed into a situation where they say something they don't mean to say, and we do hold people to high standards of conduct, and on this occasion, and i know with a heavy heart, the prime minister made the difficult decision she had to. mr green had also rejected claims that he that he acted inappropriately towards a female activist, kate maltby. the labour mpjess phillips said mr green should have gone sooner. whilst nobody is happy about this, and the idea we are out for a scalp is ridiculous. the fact of the matter is his resignation and a consequence for an action sends a very clear message to young men and women who work in and around politics to feel that if

mr. deputy minister, what is going on, we don't understand. ukrainian counterparts said we have taken our relatives pulses so we -- they think that we could kill our mothers and fathers. the situation is a different one. and don't forget russia is not a conflict.e everything is mentioned there there is a sequence in this, be done, what should first? the cease-fire, -- and other elements. there is a problem knell of how to fulfill it. westerns a request from countries to protect peacekeepers, monitors, let's call them. mr. putin has decided to help and has decided to agree with an idea to protect these on both sides. all.is you say these others -- other ideas, peacekeeping operations. we do not want russian people to be killed. other towns.ned in we would like guarantees, from western countries and the united states, that russian people leaving will not be killed. that is why, all elements to protect lives of citizens, ordinary people, stipulated and examined. tore is only time for us david: implement disagreement. we unfortunately -- for us to

minister. thank you, mr speaker.ble members opposite that statutory homelessness is lower now thanit statutory homelessness is lower now than it was for most of the period of the last labour government. thank you, mr speaker. ifi of the last labour government. thank you, mr speaker. if i can draw my right honourable friend away from brexit, which is about to crop up, i suspect. i believe it is common knowledge that the conservative party is the party which strives to protect our green belt. it was therefore a shock to me and a number of my constituents when guildford council submitted their draft local plan. the council are seeking to build the 7% of the houses in their plan on green belt. would my right honourable friend agree that local authorities —— 57% —— should focus their imaginations on building on brownfield sites, not green belt? well, my right honourable friend is right to raise this issue on behalf of his constituents. as he will know, a local authority may only alter a green belt boundary in exceptional

mr. speaker, there one and a half billion reasons the prime minister should not do that. ms. may: as president juncker said monday, there are still a couple things we are negotiating. he is confident we will be able to achieve sufficient progress. but if he wants to wonder about plans for negotiation, perhaps he should look at his own front bench. the shadow chancellor used to say staying in the single market was not respecting the referendum. now he says it is on the table. brexit -- used to say staying in the customs union was deeply unattractive. now he says it is not off the table. we know from the shadow chancellor what their approach really is, it is not having a plan at all. was,asked what the plan they said, that is difficult for us. we all know, the only thing the labor party is running after is a -- planning for is a run on the pound. speaker, ther. speaker was unable to support the brexit secretary when the deal was supposed to be done in october, but still had not been done by december. told irishof the dup television she only got sight of the deal monday morning,

i think what is really important about mr modi is that after 25 years, india got a government with a full majority. that meant a prime ministerave to look over his shoulder when taking decisions. and mr modi came with a track record of being decisive, of being firm, of having a clear mind of what he wants to do. he is controversial. i would say he is polarising. and that's not necessarily a pejorative term. well, we'll get to the polarising when it comes to some of the sectarian and communal issues in india injust a moment, but i want to begin by taking on board what you have just said about him coming to power attracting the outsiders in india. and suggesting to you that those who are most outside are the poorest in india. and when one looks at the delivery, in terms of poverty alleviation and eradication in india in the last three years, frankly, it seems to me that mr modi has been found wanting. he has achieved a lot in economic terms, but he hasn't fundamentally shifted that block of indians, some 250 million, who are living on or below the poverty line. i think mr modi has done a tremendous amount to actually, i think w

mr. president. the distinct representative of turkey, the minister for foreign affairs. i now give the floor to the representative of the united states. haley: thank you, mr. president. to its shame, the united nations has long been a hostile place for the state of israel. both the current and the previous secretary-generals have objected to the un's disproportionate focus on israel. it's a wrong that undermines the credibility of this institution, and that in turn is harmful for the entire world. i've often wondered why, in the face of such hostility, israel has chosen to remain a member of this body. and then i remember that israel has chosen to remain in this institution because it's important to stand up for yourself. israel must stand up for its own survival as a nation, but it also stands up for the ideals of freedom and human dignity that the united nations is supposed to be about. standing here today, being forced to defend sovereignty and the integrity of my country, the united states of america, many of the same thoughts have come to mind. the united states is b

with the christmas markets underway now head of the christmas season and the german interior minister for mr massey a said just this week that the threat of a terror attack in germany remains simply high any time any place but he also reiterated as well that christmas markets do still remain an entire group part of german life and german culture and as we heard in that report just now it seems unlikely that many germans are going to be staying home simply because of incidents like we saw last night kate thanks very much. he may have heard of the nobel prize but what about the alternative nobel prize its official name is the right livelihood award and last night at a ceremony and sweden it was given to four people for their efforts to fight injustice. they aren't famous but the winners of the right livelihood award known as the alternative nobel prize have dedicated their lives to social justice human rights and government transparency four people were awarded it this year and environmental lawyer from the us a human rights lawyer from india a disability rights activist from ethiopia and inve

promenade on sabarmati river, in the heart of the city of ahmedabad, in gujarat, prime minister narendra modi's home state. mrrat for 14 years and is credited with bringing a lot of development projects here, including this one. now, this is a state election but it has been very keenly contested and mr modi himself has been here to conduct more than two dozen rallies. many believe this is actually going to be a verdict on his popularity and it will be significant looking ahead to the 2019 general elections. for the opposition congress party, which has been losing elections ever since mr modi came to power, this election will be quite significant. the party now has a new president in mr rahul gandhi, heir of the gandhi family, and these may well be the first points he puts in his scorecard. gujarat has been a highly industrialised state of india and has historically had a high rate of growth, but in the run—up to this election, youth have raised the issues of unemployment, poverty and jobless growth, making it a true test for modi's brand of economics, called "modinomics". divya arya, bbc news, ahmedabad, guja

modern prime minister, you spoke about the polish die aspera, what will be the state is a polish citizens after brexit? mrhole question of the status of polish and other eu citizens in the united kingdom after we've left the european union was one of the issues i wanted to give priority to in talks. we have done and, of course, in the joint progress report published a couple of weeks ago between the uk and the european union we set out in a whole range of areas the agreements we had made on the status of polish citizens in the uk from other eu citizens in the uk from other eu citizens in the uk, and uk citizens living in poland and elsewhere in the eu 27. the citizens who are in the eu 27. the citizens who are in the uk will be able to apply for saddle status. in united kingdom we will make the process simple, an easy process for them. there will be certain requirements in terms of the length of time they will have been in the united kingdom, but we'll get a significant period of time for people to be able to apply for that settled status. the basis on which we operate it is that we value polish citizens

the prime minister expressed "deep regret" at mr green's departure but said his actions "fell short" expected of a cabinet minister. alex forsyth reports. side by side, yesterday, the prime minister and her close ally, damian green, her deputy in all but name, but hours after they sat together in the commons, he was sacked. it stems back to a police raid on mr green's parliamentary offices years ago. officers said legal pornography was found on computers. mr green has always and still denies that it was his, but he also said that he had not been told about this, and it wasn't right. he has now admitted that the lease lawyers talked to his lawyers in 2008, and police raised it with him in 2013. he said, i apologise that my statements were misleading on this point. it's that breach of the ministerial code that has cost him his job. there were also claims from this activist about inappropriate behaviour. her account was said to be plausible, but there was no clear conclusion about what had happened. mr green apologised for making her feel uncomfortable, but denied wrongdoing. in a lette

mr barnier is offering. speaking to a group of senior mps today the prime minister said it is something to be discussed. is when there will be a trade deal. mrs may says it should be signed, sealed and delivered by the start of the transition, mr barnier says that the point of the transition deal is to get it negotiated them. thank you, adam fleming. for the first time in its history, the european commission has threatened a member state with the loss of its eu voting rights. it's started disciplinary measures against poland, accusing the government of undermining the independence of the country's judges. polish ministers have dismissed the commission's actions as politically motivated. president trump says he's delivering what he's called a "big, beautiful tax cut" for americans this christmas. the tax reforms, passed this evening in congress, represent the first major legislative victory for mr trump after nearly a year in office. the reforms will dramatically cut tax for us corporations, but at a cost to the treasury — as our north america editorjon sopel reports. if this was a smile— off, it would be

well it doesn't seem to me that the israeli prime minister mr netanyahu is too worried about this israeli officials have tried to play it down a bit also before an olive to the resolution was passed mr netanyahu made it clear that he wanted and theater of the absurd but he also pointed out and i think this is important that more countries abstained or there were more no shows so on the one hand you know they're pretty trying to play down on the other and we know that there was a lot of lobbying going on also the threats by the u.s. might have played a role there but no it was that it's an on binding resolution some of this is equality even it's a publicity stunt by the palestinians so there's no really backing down from their position in this case. and in the aftermath of that vote at the united nations we've also been following reaction in a particular part of new york where. orthodox jewish community lives have a look at this. crown heights in the new york borough of brooklyn the area is home to many orthodox jews they follow the vote in the united nations closely now disappointment is
