, was known as an attack dog, someone who put the squeeze on labour ministers, and it may be that mrs mayoot, taking the fight to jeremy corbyn —— jeremy corbyn. so, chris grayling moving to party chairman. also interesting because chris grayling is one of those people who mrs may can trust and rely on, a prominent brexiteer, but someone rely on, a prominent brexiteer, but someone who backed mrs may from the start to become leader. he helps run her leadership campaign. so she has put him into the top job at central office as someone who can add a bit more fight and energy but also some and she absolutely trusts. and that, we expect, will be part of a bigger shake—up at central office because there was a little concerned that central office has rather lost the plot, lost the edge, particularly in the digital age, when you need to have a much more assertive and aggressive presence online and on social media. a slight sense that central office is losing that battle with jeremy corbyn. central office is losing that battle withjeremy corbyn. so there will be new faces, new roles, trying to rei

and they can stay, earlier oui’ secure, and they can stay, earlier our berlin correspondent said mrs mayo the germans. may was trying to provide confidence and stability to the germanslj think and stability to the germans.” think the primary message here is, one of attempted reassurance, mrs may knows of course that germans prize stability perhaps above all else, that is why we are hearing again that germans living in britain will be allowed to stay once brexit comes into force and there will be no second referendum. secondly and importantly, she is try to nudge that reminder, as if germany needs it, of the importance of the trading relationship between the two countries, mrs may will know that german business leaders are rattled. they are really concerned about what happens, particularly if britain leaves the eu without any kind of deal at all. the trading relationship is very important to germany. so there will be interest when she says she wants this free trade deal, a special deal that is unlike any other in existence, people here will want to know what she means by that, but it is i

mrs may committed tens of millions of pounds to strengthen uk border controls in france.andhurst treaty will also accelerate the processing of migrants trying to come to the uk through calais. and while both countries committed to closer military cooperation, mr macron warned that if britain wanted access to the single market after brexit, then it would have to play by the eu's rules. 0ur deputy political editor john pienaar reports. nothing like a bit of pomp and ceremony to get a big meeting started. monsieur macron and mrs may won't be eu partners much longer, so they are now keener than ever to keep in step where they can, to stay in tune. france is a key ally. brexit is coming and the prime minister is treading a delicate line. cooperation now, always hoping friendship pays off in the future. at least, goodwill is on theresa may's wish list. the president came to this sandhurst summit to talk business about military collaboration and border co—operation. he wanted more cash for border control. he went to a migrant centre near calais this week, and he's been promised

this goes back to the rhetoric of mrs may before the election, someone trying to tackle this in societyrnment intervention. moving on. sebastien again, donald trump, the front page of the observer still, trump plays the blame game. we have had this curious thing with a budget was not passed on friday so there is no functioning us government on monday morning. federal employees will turn up and not get paid. it is interesting how this has been framed because chuck schumer, the democratic leader in the senate calls this a trump shutdown and donald trump calls it a schumer shut down. really it is extraordinary that the republicans control all three branches of the us government and this still happened. it shows you the unpredictability of donald trump. you cannot know what he says. i agree to some extent that this president is more difficult to deal with than others but it is not the president who determines budget, it is congress. the president does not have as much power as those at home i think. he'd does not get to set a legislative position. this is the 19th shut down since the 1970s

mrs may was standing by to by at the weekend mrs may was standing by toby young when she was intervieweddrew marr programme. she said she thought his comments were regrettable but he didn't repeat them and he would be 0k. didn't repeat them and he would be ok. more is coming out of downing street now. i think that is the defence secretary coming out. claire perry, one of the new female business ministers who will be attending cabinet but is not actually a cabinet member. she is one of the new additions, female admissions, two new females who will be attending cabinet. there are no more female full—time members of the cabinet. the gender balance in the cabinet. the gender balance in the cabinet itself has not changed, nor are there any more non—white faces. but what he will see today as we go through the mid—level ministerial appointments, i think you will see a significant attempt to try and increase the diversity that mrs may has. that is karen bradley, she was moved over from culture to has. that is karen bradley, she was moved overfrom culture to northern ireland after james moved ove

wanted, with angry, angry exchanges with the labour leader, as he sought to crank up the pressure on mrs mayhe nhs this winter, saying under jeremy hunt's leadership it was sinning and attacking herfor remotes mr hunt, giving him control of social care where jeremy corbyn said he should have been sacked, pointing to the cancelled non—urgent operation, the hours people were having to wait in ambulances and mrs may prompted a degree of incree duty when she said the nhs was pet better prepared this winter than ever before, pointing to the fact there was more money, more acute beds, more people were taking out flu jabs, more were open over the holiday eperiod. have a listen to ho heated some of the exchanges were. she told the house the nhs was better prepared for winter, than ever before. so what words of comfort does the prime minister have to the 17,000 patients waiting in the back of ambulances, in the last week of december? is it that nothing is perfect by any chance? week of december? is it that nothing is perfect by any chance ?|j week of december? is it that nothing is perfect by any cha

cabinet collea g u es up on what mrs may's cabinet colleagues are too.e, amber rudd rolled up, the sole —— the home secretary. it is a cu rve ball sole —— the home secretary. it is a curveball because the assumption was that none of the big beasts were going to be moved, namely boris johnson, philip hammond and amber rudd would be staying where were. so, is it possibly the case that amber rudd might be given the post of first secretary as well as home secretary? might she also be responsible for being the promise to's number two? don't know but it certainly changes the dynamic. the only other thing that has happened was about ten minutes ago, we had a sort of photo opportunity, rather an odd one, in front of number ten, when mrs may appeared from nowhere, flanked by her new party chairman, brandon lewis, and james cleverly and about seven or eight vice—chairman of the conservative party, predominantly new, younger, female mps. and reflects the desire of theresa may to give the party machine a kick up the backside, to try and inject some energy, a bit mor

in another area of education policy, the mail on sunday claims mrs may has criticised her new university toby young, after old social media posts of his were found to contain sexist and obscene remarks. the observer headlines president trump's reaction to a new book about his administration. the publication by thejournalist michael wolff questions president trump's mental stability since taking office. the sunday express writes that theresa may has ordered a review into parole boards after former taxi driverjohn worboys, found guilty of sexual assault against 12 women, was released after nine years in prison. ididn't i didn't mention brexit, but it is still in here, i promise, somewhere, related no doubt to the reshuffle, which is where we began. the sunday times headline, theresa may plots to reshuffle times headline, theresa may plots to res huffle a n times headline, theresa may plots to reshuffle an entire sixpack of cabinet ministers. it is amazing how they make vics pack sound like a lot when there are lots and lots of cabinet ministers, many of whom we cannot remember the names of

now in an interview with the bbc, mrs may has made it clear that she wa nts mrs may has made it cleart she wants her premiership to be about more thanjust wants her premiership to be about more than just brexit. but the new year has already brought in old problems. 73 outstanding ambulances right how. . . 73 outstanding ambulances right now. . . the 73 outstanding ambulances right now... the latest challenge for mrs may, a winter crisis in the nhs from a first—hand perspective. the woman filming this weighted in an ambulance for hours before her mother, who had suffered a stroke, could be seen by doctors at a chance that hospital. it is gobsmacking and devastating. it is gobsmacking and devastating. it feels like a sick feeling, like a sickening feeling that this is how bad it is. the prime minister was asked about the case. i recognise that people have concerns that they have experience of that sort. if we look at what is happening across the nhs, we see that actually the nhs is delivering for more people, treating more people and people... more people are being seen with the four ho

the metro, nhs delayed would have killed me, mrs may. marr who survived a stroke some time ago and apply minister was on his programme morning. it's cracking television if nothing else. theresa may clearly got a health crisis, we've see most damning videos and photographs lying on hospital and corridor floors. it's an easy attack by the opposition, she think she wants to look at this but she's faced with a very high—profile presenter with a very high—profile presenter with a very personal and meaningful anecdotes saying it was life or death for him if the crisis had happened now, he may have possibly not survive. that's a pretty striking blow to make at the prime minister face striking blow to make at the prime ministerface to face. striking blow to make at the prime minister face to face. how is that asa minister face to face. how is that as a viewer? we are often told you don't make yourself the story. the first one is that the vast majority of the voters don't expect to see andrew marr on sunday morning with the interview with the pri

mr. speaker, may i inquire as to whether the gentleman has additional speakers? mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, may i inquire as to how much time is remaining on each side? the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from virginia has a minute and a half. the gentleman from michigan has ne minute. mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, i yield myself 30 seconds. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, let me pose a hypothetical about the amash amendment. in the criminal world, if an f.b.i. agent is told through a tip that someone has just purchased unusual amounts of fertilizer that could be used to make a bomb, the amash amendment would prevent that f.b.i. agent from looking at the f.b.i.'s databases to determine if the suspicious individual's email address or other identifier -- not the content of the email -- just the email address or identifier is located in the 702 database. what would the american people say if we hampered law enforcement? what if we had another murrah building blowup and the f.b.i. couldn't look at an email address? i urge you to vote ag

in an interview with andrew marr on sunday, theresa may appeared to back mr young, saying he had donegood work in relation to free schools." norman is at westminster, why has he resigned now, especially with theresa may backing him?” resigned now, especially with theresa may backing him? i think he could see that this was not going to go away. 0nly yesterday, the government was full to make a statement in the commons defending toby young and reallyjust listening to mp5, it wasn'tjust opposition mps, senior conservatives were deeply unhappy at his appointment because of the sort of signals it sent out, the sort of things he had written. it was argued, hejust could not hold a prominent public post having said those sort of things, and it was argued that if a head teacher or a vice chancellor had made similar remarks about women oi’ had made similar remarks about women or people with disabilities, then they would have been sacked. i mean, just to be clear, in some of his articles, he had argued in favour of so—called progressive eugenics, genetic selection to improve the iq amongst poore

as long as that continues, mrs may stays in downing street.idea of how tense emotions are over brexit. —— whatsapp. the energy minister hit back. she hit back in whatsapp, describing them as the swivel eyed view who are mostly retired, elderly men who did not have mortgages or caring commitments. in other words hitting out at the hardline brexiteers. that gives you a sense of how fraught things are now within the sort of conservative family over brexit. thank you very much. we will speak to two brexit supporting mps in the next hour of the programme. next, chronic headaches and migraines which are so bad they can completely knock you out. it's estimated one in 30 of us live with a headache disorder, with some people experiencing them 15 times a month. they're estimated to cost the uk up to £7 billion a year but there's little information about why and how to stop them. now researchers from the university of warwick have told this programme they are working on a study which could help thousands of people who experience them. let's talk to dr ge

macron is in the uk meeting with mrs. may and meeting with mrs. merkel tomorrow do you think one of the outcomes of this grand coalition, if it does take place, will be closer european integration >> well, i moan, both emanuel macron and this grand coalition, if it comes about, will have full european agendas. if you look at the paper they produced in berlin last week, it's full of nicely sounded declarations, but what it means in the end in practical terms, in terms of actual cash that germany would like to put on the table for the eurozone, i think we should be prepared for disappointments from the point of view from the rest of the eurozone yes there will be extra money, but we're talking more about 0.1, 0.2, perhaps 0.3% of german gdp so this is not the fiscal union that federalists in brussels have been dreaming of it's a positive development for the jerusalem in the sense there's some commitment, some further commitment for european integration. i doubt it will be a total game changer. what do you think the biggest risk is to the german econ

no, of course not, i want mrs may to go on for ever and ever. on. it started with a prankster. and prepare for a run on the ground... boris, job done, given her the p45. of course it had nothing to do with the foreign secretary. i was about to talk about somebody i would like to give a pas to, and that'sjeremy corbyn. and then came the frog in the throat. she coughs. the deficit is back to precrisis levels... sounds as if my voice isn't on track. she coughs. as if it couldn't get any worse, even the scenery started falling down. the pm put on a brave face and was supported by her husband and, in the coming days, after some whisperings about her leadership, her cabinet. by the end of october, scandal once again hit westminster, this time about sexual harassment. very quickly it became clear it wasn't party political, with various mps implicated and then a cabinet minister. in recent days allegations have been made about mps‘ conduct, including my own. many of these allegations have been false. but i realise that in the past i may have fallen below

mrs may has to make some space somewhere.both of you. according to commentators, the pm wants more mps from ethnic minorities and more women in hertop team. are either you of expecting a call? i‘m not expecting anything. i have beenin i‘m not expecting anything. i have been in parliament for eight years now. i have been focussed in the last six months on the treasury. i love myjob. there is important house of commons business today. there is a customs bill today. you would like promotion? well, i have been around for ap long time. i have seen been around for ap long time. i have seen lots of reshuffles. i have seen people coming and i have seen people going and the best way to prepare for a reshuffle is to focus on the job in hand. you would like a promotion? i would like to serve the government in whatever way i can. who is this reshuffle for? well, i think it is important to move the party forward. any organisation to stay strong has to change. it has to change with the times. we had the election and we need to move forward

mrs may certainly hope they will.is running late, but both sides seem to have done what they can to make it go smoothly. they were going to see the bayeux tapestry without crossing the bayeux tapestry without crossing the channel. emmanuel macron cannot call him self the european leaders' most strong and stable leader, and this relationship matters more than ever, since britainjoined the old, market 45 years ago. you can expect a lot more high energy diplomacy in the weeks and months and years ahead. our top story this evening: the uk is in the grip of the worst flu season for seven years as doctors in wales warn that patient safety in a&e units is being compromised to an unacceptable degree. and still to come... prince harry and his fiancee, meghan markle, wow the crowds in cardiff on their first official visit to wales. coming up on sportsday on bbc news... will he, won't he? the arsenal manager says his star striker, alexis sanchez, is likely to move to manchester united, with henrikh mkhitaryan going the other way

labour has called the planned reshuffle "little more than a desperate pr exercise" and said mrs may shouldn the problems in the nhs. here's our political correspondent, eleanor garnier. new year, perhaps a fresh start after a torrid 2017, in which theresa may lost her majority in the general election, faced a rebellion from some of her own mps, was forced to deal with cabinet resignations and even had to sack her second—in—command. it means she starts the year with a reshuffle. well, no prizes for guessing, andrew, obviously damian green's departure before christmas means some changes do have to be made. speaking exclusively to the bbc, the prime minister has made clear, she wants her government to be about more than just brexit, it insisting she is in listening mode. one of the clear messages we got was a number of areas which people were concerned about, what we were proposing. just as we have looked at issues on school funding, tuition fees, on housing and we are taking forward approaches in relation to that. on this issue of fox hunting, what i can say is their won't be a vote during t

but is mrs may being ambitious enough?plastic waste should be stopped by 2042. that is 25 years from now. environmentalists are not impressed. we don't think it's urgent enough, we don't think it's robust enough and we don't think it's detailed enough. the oceans, which are bearing the brunt of our addiction to throwaway plastic, can't wait 25 years for pollution. 25 years for solutions. but plastics form just part of the the government's 25—year plan for the environment launched today. the environment is something personal to each of us. but it is also something which collectively we hold in trust for the next generation. and we have a responsibility to protect and enhance it. but it's a crowded island we live on. woodlands, like here at lodge hill in kent, have been decimated over the decades. this is the uk's prime site for nightingales, but the local council wants to build much—needed houses on part of it. if housing development was to go ahead at lodge hill, it would constitute the biggest destruction of one of our fi

so a reshuffle designed perhaps not to solve all mrs may's political difficulties but to help her inagement, and the profile the tory party presents. the former football coach barry bennell has pleaded guilty to six offences of child sexual assault. the 63—year—old, who is now known as richard jones, admitted the charges before the start of his trial at liverpool crown court. the ex—crewe coach is charged with a total of 55 offences between 1979 and 1991. his alleged victims were boys aged between eight and 15 years old. our sports correspondent, andy swiss, is in liverpool. yes, barry bennell who is standing trial here under his new name of richard jones isn't here in person, instead he appeared via a videolink wearing a grey jumper, instead he appeared via a videolink wearing a greyjumper, he pleaded guilty to six counts of indecent assault against two complainants aged between 11 and 1a at the time. we can now report he had already pleaded guilty to a seventh offence atan pleaded guilty to a seventh offence at an earlier hearing. in total he is charged with 55 sexual offence, 42 c

number ten says it's committed to delivering brexit and one of mrs may's allies has come to her defenceconservative family, left, right and centre, we're a broad church, needs to come together in a spirit of mutual respect. there are difference in any broad church, and look at what the bigger picture is showing. the labour leader is facing his own divisions in a party that predominately voted to remain in the eu. today, jeremy corbyn may have placated some by telling the andrew marr show that labour would want to be part of a kind of customs union after brexit. but those hoping for a second referendum might not be so happy with this. what we've asked for and demanded in parliament has been a meaningful vote in parliament at the end of it, so mps can... i'm on about the people deciding, not parliament. and what happened with this bill was, it was an undemocratic power grab by the government. we're not asking for a second referendum. and you're not going to? the american president, who met mrs may in davos this week, has offered his own words of wisdom on brexit, that he'd have been tough

you mention mrs may's timing. that will also raise eyebrows.hich could see angela merkel‘s attempts at forming a stable government fall apart. that is what everyone here is focused on right now. i doubt very much whether angela merkel or her ministers will have either the time or inclination to dwell on brexit. a busy weekend for you in berlin ahead! thank you very much. pope francis is usability per ruta sound a stark warning about the future of the amazon and its indigenous people. he told the people of puerto maldonado that the region had never been more threatened by businesses keen to exploit it for minerals and gold. our correspondent has more. pope francis arrived in puerto maldonado, on the edges of the amazon rainforest, to a resoundingly warm reception, from those perhaps too young to fathom the scale of the issues their communities face. the pontiff was notjust a guest for these amazonian tribes, but a powerful mouthpiece for their plight, protecting the land they see slipping away from them. this once—tranquil part of the world has

the american president who met mrs may in davos this week offered his own words the wisdom on brexit, that he'd have been tougher than she has been.” would have negotiated it differently. had a different attitude. what would you have done? i would have said the european union is not cracked up to what it's supposed to be and would have taken a tougher stand supposed to be and would have taken a tougherstand in supposed to be and would have taken a tougher stand in the thing out. the ball‘s back in the eu's court this week. the other 27 member states will prepare to set out anywhere own position on the transings period after brexit. police are still hunting for a man who is believed to have fled the scene after a crash that killed three teenage boys in west london on friday. the three victims have been named locally as josh kennedy, george wilkinson and harry rice. they died when a car, believed to have been travelling at high speed, crashed into a bus stop in hayes. our correspondent leigh milner is there for us. what is the latest there? within the past half an hour, we've been told

the young voters that mrs may desperately needs, if 25 yea rs really is mrs may desperately needs, if, once they? running time, they will be in their mid—aos, 505, once they?” running time, they will be in their mid-40s, 50s, once they? i suppose that's true but it is also about people growing up now learning more about politics. 525 years? is that the nature of her personality or is there something else going on? —— whiley 25 years? it is an ambitious plan. it is a positive thing. could it be done in ten or 15 years? there we re it be done in ten or 15 years? there were things we need to get done. it has taken us a long time to get to the point where we have got 10% of the point where we have got 10% of the uk species at risk of extension. it will take some time to get us out of this. we have to make sure we don't wait 25 years to start making a difference. we could, for example, bring forward the 2040 petrol and diesel vehicles ban to 2030. that would cut uk oil imports in half and massively improve air quality. that is achievable now. it is unfair to say that everything won't happe

the guardian reports that mrs may's leadership is under threat from the latest revolt in tory ranks overresa may and president trump at davos. it has a picture of the pair shaking hands. its headline says the relationship between the uk and us is "so great". the i has that same photo on its front page and reports that mr trump will come to this country, this yearfor a working trip, not state visit. the daily telegraph carries a warning by the defence secretary that russia could cause mass casualities in britain by crippling our crucial energy supplies. and so there are a variety of stories vying for top billing across a range of tomorrow's papers. let's start with the financial times. philip hammond who is also in davos along with everybody else by the looks of it, saying he wants a soft brexit, not too much to change at all after we leave. the big ones in the cabinet cannot help themselves setting out their stall for what brexit should look like, we had borisjohnson for what brexit should look like, we had boris johnson doing for what brexit should look like, we had borisjohnson doing h

mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. mr. speaker, hrment r. 4 -- h.r. 4258, makes several improvements to the h.u.d. family self-sufficiency program or f.s.s., which is the only asset building program at h.u.d. to help increase economic opportunities for its low-income households. when i was a commissioner of the housing authority many years ago, i saw this program in action and it deals with one of the challenges of what happens to a family as their incomes go up and they find it increasingly hard to invest and save because their rents typically go up. mr. himes: mr. speaker, this bill expands the scope of support of services provided to residents to include g.e.d. train, education in pursuit of a postsecondary degree, or certification and training in financially the are a sifment the bill also expands the -- literacy. the bill also expands programs to ensure low income families can continue to participate in this program as their incomes increase. this is particularly important -- a particularly important improvement since

i have to say i was surprised by mrs may's response to the question about the nhs, she knew that wasid at prime minister's questions yesterday — that there is more resources, more doctors were open over the christmas period. and she suggested that the problems on the nhs this winter were down to more people getting flu and she said that the nhs was now rolling out a... it is a national flu vaccine programme. i thought she might have a more full response, because the nature of the charges now coming from the nhs providers seem so now coming from the nhs providers seem so striking, suggesting that the nhs is short of 10 to 15,000 beds, that it needs more staff, it needs more money and it needs it now. and that if not, the nhs is not going to be able to meet the existing standards of care and patient safety. i thought given the sort of nature of the accusations, and also on the very day we have got those more dire figures over a&e, that mrs may may have wanted to say more about the nhs than repeating what she said in pmqs yesterday. thank you. let's stay with the nhs and our health corr

a new crisis and the wheels could come off mrs may's leadership. brexit unravelling.ults in may's local elections. tonight she is heading for china. normal business. but splits in the party have also become normal. the business of leadership rather precarious. john pienaar, bbc news, westminster. across the home counties. layout and the location of safes. he's stolen jewellery and watches worth around a million pounds. in 2015 must pay a total of £27. another seven years in prison. stolen during the heist. and some have been paid too little. in news has found no evidence of gender bias. the bbc sets pay. here's our media editor amol rajan. in the headlines itself. earners last summer. we have had quite a busy morning. errors had been made. i do believe that some men have been paid too much. there is absolutely no doubt about that. being back at the bbc. i don't know what went on before. you were director of news, weren't you in your previous job? that was, i'm afraid to say, 20 odd years ago. it is 20 odd years ago that some of these grievances stem from. to be heard.

i think that mrs may needs to find some way to press reset on this relationship because it is crucialof the man but he is the president of the united states. that there is nothing you can do because this man is an infant. it is not about the prime minister sitting down and him sitting down. of course she is doing what she can. he wants us to love him. other countries seem... the french. the french was hilarious, frankly. especially when they did the guard of honour when they started dancing. the french had a ball. they thought it was a put. the british will not let this happen and hooray for the uk. moving on to the sunday telegraph. the conservatives, the new chairman trying to galvanise and have a big shakeup at tory headquarters, especially when it comes to digital campaigning. they realise that the elections are fought and won on social media. what a shame they did not realise that earlier. after this reshuffle, he is saying that they need to become more adept with social media and that the story needs to be told on social media in the same way that it used to be told on hustings.

mrs. may talking about the importance of the city.portant to the european union passes economy. theave seen a shift in death the last few days. mr. macron said he fully expects it to be some sort of deal where we had the irish prime minister today tell us, bloomberg television, that he fully expects there to be a special deal because britain is a far -- has got far closer ties to canada. what has difference to been set for the last few months, there is certainly a shift on the european side and from the banks themselves, you are hearing also some changes. a report today said the chief effect, mrs. man that interview referred to the interview she had with the banks, our reports from inside the meeting says that the barclays chief executive actually said to her that it is better to leave the single market than give up control. mark: why is he pivoting? >> there seems to be a bit of a sea change in attitudes. regulation what the is going -- undergoing an banks have come out and said, lining up behind mr. trump, we like what you are doing

the metro is also looking at brexit and mrs may's position. keep calm and hurry up. branded a daughter ‘s. effort to soothe mps fail as may is branded a daughter 's. apparently thatis branded a daughter 's. apparently that is not a compliment. even though they are slow and steady and win the race. in the ancient world they were used to make lyres. but they were used to make lyres. but they were used to make lyres. but they were boiled. comparing one to theresa may seems like it is not the best way. the point is they want to get a move on. i know you were desperate to get us away from brexit! i like tortoise is, i do not know what you want from me! you are doing ok. we will call you again. this shows that when we talk about brexit as being the big problem that the prime minister has got, there are one group of tory mps who think she's hopeless and failing but there is another group who think she is generally inept on every subject and wa nt to generally inept on every subject and want to come up with some policies which will attract attention and support and be ambiti

pm may: mr. speaker, this is between the sovereign united kingdom and a strong and successful european union, it is our ambition and our arbitrary european friends. achieving the partnership will require leadership and flexibility, not just from us but from our friends the 27 nations of the eu. mp corbyn: this is demonstrated the scale of the mess the government is making of these negotiations. 15 months on from the referendum, bear no clearer about what the future of this country will look like. just when britain needs a strong negotiating team, we have a at each other's throats. half on the conservative party want the foreign secretary sacked the other half want the chancellor sacked. host: theresa may ridiculed what she said was a shifting approach to brexit. : they said they wanted to leave the single market, now they say they want to stay in the single market. they said they are staying in this union and it would be a drive and now they want to stay in the customs union forever and the use t

than100 mps and associated government members, more than 100 mps and that does give government and mrs maygovernment. as for thejeremy corbyn, he has been quiet over christmas, he has been in mexico on holiday but we have not heard much from him at all so this will be the first has returned to the political fray. i will be the first has returned to the politicalfray. i do not think he will go on reshuffle because she will leave mrs may to stew in her own difficulties, it is more likely to go on some of his favoured themes around austerity for example, cuts to the nhs, pressure on social care and maybe the difficulties and the railway. the public service arguments, maybe he will cite letters or e—mails he has received from train travellers of patients, so from train travellers of patients, soi from train travellers of patients, so i suspect that‘ll be what we hear from jeremy corbyn. and we have a girlfriend brexit who is neverfar away women pmq ‘s b without a row over breaks. that is often fuelled with tory brexiteers wanted clarification over some part of the brexit negotiation strategy a

part of it, too, is a view amongst brexit supporters that mrs may needs to strike a more optimistic andexit, so why not say there will be a big nhs dividend from brexit? and part of it mayjust be that boris johnson brexit? and part of it mayjust be that borisjohnson is determined not to sit silent. he has spoken out previously on brexit, setting out his red lines. now he is setting out his red lines. now he is setting out his red lines on the nhs. norman, for now, thank you very much. and it may play is in the bbc newsroom summary of the rest the day's news. england is lagging behind scotland and wales when it comes to introducing measures to improve child health, according to a new report. the royal college of paediatrics and child health says children "deserve better", but westminster insists it has "world—leading plans" in place. the college also warns that obesity could cause children to face a lifelong battle with poor health. our health correspondent, dominic hughes, has more. being healthy when you are young makes a big difference to your chances of good health in later life. at

mr. rogers: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. rogers: i rise in support of passage of my bile, the explosives detection canine capability act of 2017 this legislation creates a working group on behavioral, medical, and technical standards for explosive detection working and breeding and training. this group will consist of transportation security administration, the office of science and technology, private sector canine vendors and breeders, industry associations, leading veterinarians and academics with firsthand knowledge of the subject matter. the final report on standards should reflect the latest in canine science and will be present to the t.s.a. administrator for further breeding development as well as canine procurement. canines are far more efficient than any machine and much more cost effective. the use of canine detection canines by t.s.a. is critical in keeping american passengers safe. with this in mind, why, then, does t.s.a. procure the majority of its canin

mrs. may appointed brandon lewis as party chairman, and david davis and boris johnson all held on to their jobs sterling in response hit a three-week high against the euro following that reshuffle we're joined by richard myles from absolute strategy research. it didn't go very well for mrs. may yesterday, did it? >> it started poorly of a job that chris graley actually wasn't given and got worse from there. many are refusing to leave their jobs, others are refusing to take jobs. jerry hunt was going to be moved, that didn't come off. in terms of substance, you didn't get big moves and the main jobs, foreign secretary, chancellor, these are the jobs where if you had a strong prime minister, they would have been sacked by now, but we have a weak one since that election debacle. so there wasn't a huge change here the balance of remainders and levers has been carefully maintained theresa may can't be seen to favor one of those factions over the other. the optics of this become more significant. th

there was no question about as removing support from mrs may. we believe support from mrs may.s union. so i don‘t want to bring those two together. they are separate. there was a couple of clauses in the customs bill that we have doubts about, or many of us have doubts about, or many of us have doubts about, or many of us have doubts about. we fully support the prime minister. but you can‘t have that withdrawal from the customs union and the frictionless border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland? so number one, what you see is a solution to that? number two, do you have any red lines as far as the prime minister‘s position is concerned in terms of the ongoing negotiations? you can ever frictionless negotiations? you can everfrictionless border between north and south, between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. that is a matter of political will. bearing in mind that northern ireland you already have a different rate of vat, different duties on fuel, on cigarettes, on alcohol. than you do in the republic of ireland. therefore, there is a border alrea
