it looks as though, the resolution foundation has said, a means test could hate all those not on pensionfit, one third do not clean. this is a savage attack on vulnerable pensioners, particularly those who are just about managing. it is disgraceful. and we are calling upon the conservative party now to withdraw it today. to withdraw it today. we will not stand by and allow our pensioners winterfuel will not stand by and allow our pensioners winter fuel allowance to be cut in this way and for so many to back any situation where they have to choose whether they heat or eat. let's talk to our political correspondent, ian watson. brexit secretary, david davis, has dismissed those reports that up to 10 million pensioners might close the winter fuel allowance. he says thatis the winter fuel allowance. he says that is sheer guesswork. but how much of a battle point is this going to become between labour and the tories? i think it is actually, for a number of reasons. the first and most obvious is that most old people vote, it is more difficult to get younger people out to vote, jeremy corbyn is

let's speak to laura gardiner, senior research analyst at the resolution foundation. statistics published today. more really good news on employment with the red reaching a new record high at the start of this year, but confirmation today that they pay squeeze has returned, back to a period of falling real pay and that has come far too soon after we got out of the previous pay squeeze which was nearly six years following the financial crisis. it means more of this in work which is a good thing, but we're just not being paid very much for it or not rising. there are a lot of factors behind that but got through some of them. you might expect with very low unemployment as you have highlighted for that to put pressure on wages upwards and that doesn't seem to be happening and there are two key headwinds. one is you have mentioned is very fast rising inflation and that has been driven a lot by the affect on sterling after the decision to leave the eu. but then the longer term it is productivity, output per hour work that drives pay and that has been stagnant for nine yea r

it looks as though, as the resolution foundation has said, the means test could hit those not all onay, to withdraw it today. we will not stand by and allow our pensioners‘ winterfuel will not stand by and allow our pensioners‘ winter fuel allowance to be cut in this way and for so many of them to be back in a situation where they have to choose whether they heat or eat. visit the fifth richest country in the world, we should be able to keep our pensioners safe and warm in winter. thank you. we have a little time for questions from the media and i will ta ke questions from the media and i will take them in groups of three. we are going to leave it there. that was john mcdonnell speaking in central london as part of the labour election campaign and we will have more on that later on bbc news. laura pulp said she felt vindicated for winning album of the year at the ivor novello awards —— laura mvula. grime artist skepta picked up two awards. the awards were yesterday, late afternoon. they celebrate into the night! who were the winners? the creme de la creme turned up because it is all

foundation of the kyoto protocol of 1997, which was the first agreement that sought to set binding international greenhouse regulations. the senate's attempt to defeat that with the byrd-hagel resolution. let's remember what that was. the byrd-hagel resolution was right here in this chamber. they passed it. they said that we're going to oppose the ratification of any treaty that does one of two things. either it is harmful economically to the united states of america or that the countries are developing countries such as china are not a part of it. well, that was the case. so the kyoto protocol, 1997, was a natural follow-on from that decision that was made. so even if president trump moves the united states as a signatory to the paris agreement, we will continue to have a seat at the table and the president will have the ability to negotiate further deals. that's already done. that was done and is inescapab inescapable. it was done back in 1929, and we have been a -- it was done back in 1992, and we have been a party to that every since then. and we will continue to be whether or not the president pulls out of the paris agreement. in the event the president does decide to stay in the
