let's bring in rob watson from westminster, i feel like i've uk.ars, the same issue hasn't shifted? absolutely. you set up very nicely, it really does need explaining and contacts. i guess north, a lot of people on the remaining side of the campaign would say actually, this is one of the reasons why we thought brexit might not be such a good idea. because you would have this problem in northern ireland or potentially, because there is nowhere as far as anyone i know in the world where two countries don't have a border. if they are not in a customs union together. going back to the conundrum were in, there's no doubt that theresa may needs the dup to change their minds. the number one priority for the dup, the democratic unionist party, they really believe in the union between northern ireland and the rest of the united kingdom, and they just ireland and the rest of the united kingdom, and theyjust make that priority to be treated the same. thank you very much, rob, stay with us. the dup oppose the backstop. so do the 75 conservative rebels who vote

rob watson is live with us and when spencer. —— in westminster.they make of the prime minister's performance coachella they are not happy. jenny will be amusement at the tone the predecessor took in prime ministers questions. the reason why brexit looks like such a horrible model and disasters because mps were busily couple getting —— contemplating their navels and not getting on with their navels and not getting on with the will of the will of the people and that your taste both remainders and that your taste both remainders and levers alike. —— that era tates. as they would see it, the prime minister has mishandled all of the negotiations, people on the remains side was say this is all a bit rich coming from the prime minister given that she was the one who took so long to try and come up with a plan. and she got a plan with the eu commission delay putting into a vote, so there is a lot of irritation and i think they could welcome back to haunt the prime minister when she comes to sell the deal, if she is indeed allowed to buy the prime minister

business reporter rob watson has more on this story for us hi rob thank you for joining us it's hard to believe so thirty years ago the entire world wide web was created yes that's right and what is important to differentiate between is the internet and the worldwide web so the internet is something that's been around since the one nine hundred sixty s. in one form or another and what we're talking about today is the do we do we do we dot that we know the world wide web it's what we access when we go onto a web browser such as firefox or safari or internet explorer and that was proposed thirty years ago by a man called tim berners lee we can actually see him on this picture here from the third from the left side of racing at cern where he was working at the time thirty years ago and he proposed what at the time he called an information management system and it was a way in which all the different computers at could talk to each other and share information that until that point had been compatible with each other so it's a pretty incredible accomplishment but it sounds like tim berner

and christian fraser and rob watson will be live to take any questions you have on this extraordinary moment for the uk. brexit is ripping apart the politics of the uk. theresa may's brexit deal has been resoundingly rejected for a second time. order! the ayes to the right 242, the noes to the left 391. so the noes have it, the noes have it. the deal was defeated in part by her own mps who want brexit, but not in this form. and so with 17 days until the uk is due to leave the european union, we don't know if, how, or when brexit will happen. the ruling conservative party is so divided as to no longer resemble a single political entity. and it's led by a prime minister who is desperately short of options. this is how the numbers broke down. the prime minister was defeated by 391 votes to 242 — that's a defeat of 149. not the scale of the defeat in january but still a vast defeat for a prime minister. remember, only 17 days to go until brexit and we have absolutely no idea of how the uk is going to leave. the prime minister spoke directly after the result. i'm passionate about deliverin

any questions, rob watson and christian fraser are here to take them. another head spinning day.d for brexit. more on that in a moment. these are live pictures from the house of commons, because a different debate is happening right now, and it‘s about changing the new brexit date to april 12. or it‘s going to happen at a later point. remember, the eu agreed to change the brexit date to april 12 if the prime minister can‘t get her deal through parliament. or if she succeeds and gets enough support for it, may 22 will be brexit date. let‘s bring in christian fraser, i understand you have some company. yes, the director of the classic think tank and the labour candidate for a seat right now, currently occupied by ian duncan smith, and also i have professor matt, who read —— you write a book about national population and he‘s also here. let me start with you, if i could, we are talking about trees and a‘s deal if she can get enough votes in there and getting it through the house of commons, where people in the country thinking because it does not pull altogether well, i bet that? no

rob watson is in westminster. which would you pick out as being the most significant?y mps taking back control, as it were, of the brexit process to say, ok, it is obvious that politicians don't seem to like theresa may's deal so is there something else that we could all rally around, some other kind of proposal, may be a softer brexit, second referendum, harder brexit, and the really big question is whether mps feel as though they would trust the government to run that process, the sort of process of indicative votes as it is known or whether they think, it is probably better if we, the ordinary mps, run it. we are looking at the live feed of the commons as we speak. it is quite full, not that full, but when it gets to vote time, mps are expected to turn up. standing room and voting room only. the government is asking that is mps from the governing conservative party vote against this idea of mps taking back control. it will be a massive turnout. it will be interesting to see whether those on the remain wing of the conservative party, the remainers within the governme

i'm joined by our political correspondent rob watson. you have a very interesting fact for us.ernment and makes that big argument at the end before everyone votes in favour of the government motion to have an extension to article 50. guess which way he voted ? against it? he voted against it, along with several other ministers. this is a fairly boring evening in the sense that the government didn't lose a vote and it didn't break down entirely, these concepts are relative. what do you propose he does to show his brexit credentials too so that he is against a delay and he wants this to go through as quickly as possible? alongside the other large number of conservative mps, including some other cabinet ministers who voted on that. they feel rather passionately that. they feel rather passionately that people voted to leave. we gave the date of the 29th of march and thatis the date of the 29th of march and that is when we should leave. i understand that... you understand! the cabinet meeting was quite a feisty affair today and the prime minister is of course desperately trying to r

ok, chris morris, rob watson, we are about ten seconds away from a moment in history.n, live this evening. stay with this is a bbc news special programme from westminster where theresa may has told her mp5 that she will step down in time for the next phase of brexit negotiations. the announcement came as mrs may met backbench mp5 to try, once again, to win them over to her deal. whilst the prime minister has given her indication tonight as to her long—term position. ultimately, we have to deal with the here and now which she was so clear on — on getting behind the deal, making brexit happen, get the votes through this place. but the speaker has warned that there must be changes to the deal if it's to be put to another vote. i wish to make clear that i do expect the government to meet the test of change. they should not seek... they should not seek to circumvent my ruling by means of tabling a notwithstanding motion or a paving motion. but in the commons, mp5 are making choices about which alternative brexit options they might be willing to support — voting is underway.

rob young there. two senior labour figures have clashed over how the party handles anti—semitism. the general secretary, jennie formby accused the deputy leader, tom watson mps to forward complaints to him. mr watson said people had lost trust in labour's ability to investigate allegations. our political correspondent nick eardley reports. chanting: enough is enough. allegations of anti—semitism have not been easy for the labour party — protests byjewish groups outside parliament, mps quitting the party accusing the leadership of failing to act, rows over whether it is even a problem. chris williamson, an ally ofjeremy corbyn, was suspended this week for claiming the party had been too apologetic. but now, a public row has broken out right at the top. this week, i've had 50 complaints... allegations of anti—semitism have not been easy for the labour party — this man, deputy leader tom watson, wants labour to do more to address the issue. he wrote to mps urging them to contact him with complaints. last night, the party's general secretary issued a scathing reply. in a letter to mr watson, sent to every labour mp and peer, jennie formby said... for labour,

rob roth, ktvu fox 2 news. >>> firefighters in concord say smoke detector saved a family from a house fire this morning. it happened at about 4:30 a.m. on a home in watson. firefighters say a mother and her two children were inside asleep at the time but were woken up by smoke detectors. the fire started in the garage but spread quickly to the repeater firefighter said they had trouble fighting the fire because the metal roof had been placed on top of the wooden shake roof. >> as far as the fire burning underneath the metal involving that shake itself, it's now becoming a challenge because we have to strip all the metal up to be able to get to all the overhaul. >> firefighters say now. investigators are still trying to figure out how that started. >>> the city of san francisco is already making changes to howard street following a deadly bike accident last week. christien kafton tells us that starting tomorrow, drivers will not be able to park on the north side of howard street until it can be made safer for bike riders. >> reporter: less than a week after a deadly bike collision san francisco's department of traffic is bringing change to howard street.

here is rob watson to help with that.cause this is part of plan a and this is theresa may's absolutely extraordinary commitment to somehow try to get her deal over the line, the deal she reached with the european union back in november which got rejected twice and then there is the separate, parliament plan b, which is if we do not want theresa may but i think there is there something else we could all coalesce around and of course i suppose in some ways, theresa may has been helping that any plan b would involve a softer brexit, brexit fell brayden staying closer to the european union and help those on the probe brexit wing of the party and backing her deal and that is the way they are connected but also separate. some more details on those votes... while they were all voted down, those votes... some came quite close to passing. a ‘confirmatory referendum' lost by 27 votes. whatever option parliament supports, it is put back to the country for a vote. the ‘customs union‘ proposal lost by only 8 votes. it gives support to

christian is joined by rob watson. good to see you both. give us your verdict?”next to me to answer your questions. i know you genuinely mean well. lets start with your initial analysis of what has happened. we often reachability pelleted when talking about brexit, how do you categorise this evening?” talking about brexit, how do you categorise this evening? i thought i was immune to being taken aback by the dizzying, surreal nature of events in brexit, but i was genuinely stunned by the way the day unfolded. the idea you would have the government spending the entire day telling its own mps leaving the european union without a deal would be in ita european union without a deal would be in it a catastrophe and then suddenly end up trying to tell all the therapies to keep no deal on the table, it was extraordinary. the therapies to keep no deal on the table, it was extraordinarym the therapies to keep no deal on the table, it was extraordinary. it was amazing how that went against them. conservative mp caroline spelman put forward an amendment to take no deal off t

let's talk to our political correspondent rob watson.n on standby all day, and you presume she wouldn't go there if it was a damp squib? i would like to echo what adam says, i don't know. most senior members of the government, if you ask them what is happening, they will also say they don't know. but you have to assume she is going to get some kind of agreement. i don't see that she would be flying if she wasn't on the brink of something. then the questions becomes what kind ofan then the questions becomes what kind of an agreement? my suspicion would be, for those conservative mps, those in the governing party who are looking for a ladder to climb down, any agreement would probably do. for those who are not looking for a ladder, it probably won't. let's listen to what iain duncan smith said. all i know now is that i think they are reaching the point where they are about to have some kind of agreement. i'm speculating but that's my indication and i think they'll be a statement tonight at around about 9pm, which will be one in strasbourg
