dominic raab, as i said earlier, he was a human rights lawyer.ave you with us. that's it for dateline: london for this week. we're back next week at the same time. goodbye. showers around for the rest of daylight, one or two heavy, but still a good deal of dry weather, more sunshine for scotland and northern ireland in particular compared with yesterday and once the showers fade away we already have the next atlantic low pressure, this area of cloud advancing in so are very different complexion to the weather tomorrow. some showers around across england and wales, eastern england could see heavy ones but very few for scotland and northern ireland with the lighter winter feels warmer today and also across england and wales because we have the lighter winds. under the lighter winds and one station i was fade away to this evening, the night—time will turn chilly with the possibility of patchy fog for the commute tomorrow morning so that is a change now that the nights get longer. this is the big change here with a strengthening wind pushing in cloud

we sought that clarity today from secretary raab. did you get clarity on that from sec.anything to jeopardise the good friday agreement? it came very clearly that there was no consideration of returning to a border on the island of ireland. i think that island of ireland. i think that is welcome news. we should point out, the dispute they have with the eu remains co nsta nt, have with the eu remains constant, so i think that what we will do is we will be vigilant, many of us were part of that agreement, we feel very strongly about it and we ought not to be revisiting it every time there is a dispute someplace that involves a trade agreement with the european union. stay with us on bbc news — still to come: we go to germany to find the syrian refugee who crossed europe in her wheelchair five years ago. 30 hours after the earthquake that devastated mexico city, rescue teams still have no idea just how many people have died. there is people alive and there is people not alive. we just can help and give whatever we got. a state funeral has been held for princess grace of mon

also, the uk's foreign secretary dominic raab is in washington but he's still talking brexit.he uk action here is defensive, in relation to what the eu is doing, it is precautionary — we haven't done any of this — and it is proportionate. but the government's now announced a climbdown on that plan to override the brexit withdrawal bill — giving mps the power to veto the use of it. and some celebrities are boycotting facebook and instagram — for 2h hours. they want more action on hate speech. a french court has ruled that lamine diack, the man who ran world athletics for 16 years, is corrupt. he's been given a four year prison sentence. here he is entering court today in paris. and he was found guilty of accepting bribes from russian athletes who were suspected of doping. he took money to help cover up positive test results, allowing the athletes to keep competing. and this the guy in charge of the whole sport remember. here's our sports reporter alex capstick. imean, i mean, this man was a powerful figure in global sports notjust in athletics where he was president between 199

dominic raab, asi the key international structure we have.. thank you all for your time and good to have you with us. that's it for dateline: london for this week. we're back next week at the same time. goodbye. hello. we've got a bit of a mixed weekend weather wise for you. we are expecting a mix of sunshine and showers. now, today, a cooler, fresher feel to the weather compared to what we've seen recently, too. most of those showers will be across through today part of the north and west of the uk, whereas tomorrow, they will drift further south eastwards. there's high pressure at the moment pushing in from the south—west, low—pressure out towards the north—east. that combination is drawing in these north—westerly winds, pushing the bulk of those showers across scotland and northern ireland. some also for north—west england into north wales as well. quite blustery winds of about 35 mph across the north of scotland. further south and east for england and wales, you are more likely to stay dry with some long spells of sunshine through the day

yeah, and that was the easy bet that dominic raab had today.ike pompeo who made a very encouraging noise wa nts to who made a very encouraging noise wants to see a trade deal, optimistic that it can be done. i think the british government would have been absolutely delighted with the response they got from mike pompeo. and remember, making brexit a su ccess pompeo. and remember, making brexit a success is something the trump administration and has invested in. they wanted to succeed. that said, the difficult task that dominic raab has is happening about now. which is his meeting with nancy pelosi. who is made clear in the most clear turn possible that there ain't going to bea possible that there ain't going to be a deal on trade that will pass the congress or any trade deal has to go through congress. at the moment the democrats have a majority there. if there is any tinkering with the good friday enter agreement. i think that nancy pelosi is going to take a good deal more reassurance than mike pompeo and just as you've got dominic raab the bri

dominic raab, as i said earlier, he was a human rights lawyer.is week. we‘re back next week at the same time. goodbye. hello. we can sum the weather up this weekend as sunshine and showers and the showers through saturday were most frequent across scotland, northern ireland and northern england. that focus shifts slightly as we head through sunday, still some showers around, courtesy of this feature but this time the focus is across england and wales, so a drier day for scotland and northern ireland with some spells of sunshine. in fact, most of us will see some spells of sunshine through sunday but we do need to watch out for those showers. most frequent through the morning, across northern england into wales and the midlands. it could be heavy, maybe even thundery, sliding their way south and eastwards, if you shut up and down into lincolnshire and east anglia, as i said, many will be dry with some spells of sunshine and lighter winds as well compared to saturday so it should feel a bit warmer, 16—20 celsius for many, little bit cooler further

the foreign secretary dominic raab says the eu "must now move" on key issues if there is to be a tradehe brexit transition ends in december. the next round of formal talks take place this week, but negotiators in brussels have said they are disappointed by a lack of concessions from the uk. mr raab accused brussels of "double standards" in demanding more from britain than it had in past free—trade deals. here's our political correspondent, nick eardley. january to 31st, when the uk officially left the european union. since then, little has changed because of a one—year transition. but our long—term trading relationship is still worked out. talks on that have been taking place, but for weeks they have been stuck with significant disagreement about rules on government grants for businesses and access to british waters forfishing. this morning in a rare interview, the uk's chief negotiator, lord frost, told the mail on sunday he was prepared to walk away. we are not going to be a client state, he said. we are not going to compromise on the fundamentals of having control over oui’ fundamen

mr raab earlier told congressional leaders that the good friday agreement was under threat from fourern. we spoke to one of them, richard neil. he chairs the hugely powerful ways and means committee. i have been involved in this agreement for 30 years and it's useful to remind people of what the situation was like in the north before the good friday agreement. there were 30,000 british soldiers on the ground and many parts of ireland were ravaged and i think the success we had with the good friday agreement represents an example for the rest of the world in terms of conflict resolution and should not be disturbed. terms of conflict resolution and should not be disturbedm is to do with antipathy towards brexit itself amongst members of the democratic party on capitol hill? absolutely not, that they suffer a decision the nation made. we are not concerned at all with the decision they made and we may have disagreement on why but the truth is that was up to the people of the uk and they made that decision. 0ur argument is that decision. 0ur argument is that ireland and the success of the

dominic raab is saying it is not a silver bullet.een so bruised by promising miracles and having to make these u—turns but nobody is promising the world any more. however, there is cautious optimism they can do something so people can be tested at the airport, on—site, and then tested later and be able to come out of quarantine may be a week into that two week period, as it is now, so people can come back and go into their lives, big figures for the aviation industry, all the big players in it will be able to live and see another year. tony, there we re and see another year. tony, there were so and see another year. tony, there were so much discussion over masks, you can imagine there are many people saying, where is this figure of 5-8? people saying, where is this figure of 5—8? what is the scientific basis for this? according to the story, there have been concerns about happy conservative mps, nothing to do with the science —— unhappy. i'm suddenly puzzled by this, because who are all these people who are going to going on holiday

have a listen to dominic raab. well, it's damaging to the economy.n lockdown, massive shrinking of the economy. we're trying to bounce back as strongly as possible, the bank of england suggests forecasts of 18% growth in this quarter alone, we've seen some good news this week, amazon investing in 7,000 newjobs, co—op in 1,000 new jobs, quite interesting if you think about the consumer patterns. so the important thing is, yes, of course we are all going to do a bit more remote working in the future but it does make a difference. the economy needs to have people back at work, unless, and this is really important, unless there is a good health reason why it shouldn't happen or unless the employer cannot put in place the covid—secure workplace that we all need. but employers are doing that and i think it is important to send a message that we need to get britain back up and running, the economy motoring on all cylinders. of course, there are questions around that. one is the health implications. we know that the government's experts have warned we could

dominic raab, as i said earlier, he was a human rights lawyer.k next week at the same time. goodbye. hello there. on sunday, we had quite a bit of cloud that developed through the afternoon, notably across parts of eastern england, where we had showers, especially for yorkshire and also parts of lincolnshire, bringing us some rain here through the course of the afternoon. now, talking of rain, we‘ve got more of that on the way right now, with rain already spreading into scotland and northern ireland. here, it‘s going to turn increasingly windy over the next few hours. but for many of us at least, temperatures holding up into double figures as we head into the first part of monday. now, the rain is all associated with this area of low pressure that‘s up near iceland. weather fronts pushing into high pressure and weakening as they reach towards the south—east. and that means, actually, we‘ll see rain across northern and western areas, where it‘s going to be quite windy. but through the day on monday, it will probably stay dry, with sunshine across

foreign secretary dominic raab calls for a moment of reckoning. >> it is a week up call for the eu side. we've got to a position where there are only two points really holding us back, but we can't accept that the eu will control our laws. that is the reason we are leaving. no other country goes into trade organizations -- into trade negotiations on that basis. guy: is boris johnson now basically signaling that he is prepared to accept a no deal brexit? he's basically sent out on emailed today saying there needs to be in agreement our european friends. if we can't agree, then i did not see that there will be a free-trade agreement between us, and with -- and we should both except that a move on. is he moving on? therese: i think cabinet saying that this is where he's at. that reportedly, downing street considers the chance of cyst has -- the chance of success 30% to 40%. i would say this is the government trying to move the eu a little bit more in the direction of the u.k., basically saying we need some concessions. but let's think about these two issues. one is fisheries, a very tiny p

dominic raab talking about the virus being under control by christmas.hnson pretty clear yesterday that we should be looking at this as rules that are likely to be in place for about six months, talking about it perhaps improving in the spring and if you think back to where we were a few months ago, there had initially been a thought about being back to something nearer normality by the end of this year. we are not in national lockdown, the schools are open, shops are open, but it is still quite a long way from normal life and these restrictions look like it is not returning anytime soon. you heard raab suggesting that the idea is to get a control so that we are not in a national lockdown at christmas. there is absolutely no protocol well for there to be another second national lockdown at any point —— political well. the difference is we are hearing from the parties is on what stops us getting there. you message from the government is that this is down to individual actions, it is up to people following the rules, they will say the majority are but the

course we've already seen some condemnation coming from this site as well with borisjohnson and dominic raabessing great shock and disappointment that this appears to have happened again stop by and it'll be interesting to see with this international pressure how he'll react, because ultimately it feels like nothing the international community does puts him in the corner. but we touched upon the situation in russia in terms of the economy, because they could actually put a lot of pressure on the russian president. russia has been deteriorating economically for a while now, living standards have not been good since the financial crisis. the covid—19 pandemic is obviously not helping things, especially in economies that were already weak like russia. with this international pressure of sanctions being imposed on the regime, those have not helped things, with these pre—existing issues with the russian economy anyway. i think you cannot really disaggregate what's happening here from those wider constraints because this isjust here from those wider constraints because this is just the here from t

here the foreign secretary, dominic raab, called the poisoning of utterly deplorable.investigation. the kremlin says it will investigate what it complains it has not been shown any evidence of poisoning. translation: our specialists are carrying out checks, investigative actions. if there is a confirmation of the presence of poisonous substances, there is no doubt an investigation will be launched. we are asking everybody to rely on the fa cts . are asking everybody to rely on the facts. there are disturbing echoes here of what happened in salisbury more than two years ago. a novichok nerve agent developed in soviet laboratories was used to poison the former russian kgb defector sergei skripal and his daughter. britain blamed it on to a russian military intelligence officers. moscow denied responsibility. then there was alexander litvinenko, another former kgb officer. he died in a london hospital in 2006, after his assassins slipped radioactive polonium into his tea. today, his widow says russia cannot be trusted with an investigation. u nfortu nately, with an investi

dominic raab said it was important to send a message that we need to get britain back up and running. it's extremely concerned about the government's position, and that leadership and a strategy are needed. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley has more. i think it is increasingly becoming the big priority for the government, trying to figure it out, after it got schools in england but, how to turn people back to offices across the uk, partly because they think it would be good for the workforce, but also partly because in many city centres and many business districts, the economies have just completely nosedived over the last few weeks. this morning, we got a very stark warning from the foreign secretary that that needs to happen to protect the economy. it is damaging to the economy. we have seen lockdown, a muscle strengthening of the economy. we are trying to bounce back as strong as possible. the bank of england suggests 18% growth in this quarter alone. we have seen some good news this week, amazon investing in seven 7000 newjobs. so, the important thing is, we all need to do
