theresa may's deallj and the other 27, 28 of you voted against theresa may's deal.everybody, but my senses the momentum is with the government. for those for food the backstop was a problem, becausejohnson those for food the backstop was a problem, because johnson has... those for food the backstop was a problem, becausejohnson has... that he said they would never open up the withdrawal agreement, they have, they have a major concession. in terms of where the support lies for this deal potentially, you are indicating potentially, you are saying you will not necessarily all move en masse, the hardline tory brexiteers will vote for this, what about the dup? have you been talking with them? yes, i have, up to the 11th hour, 36 hours... a week is a long time in politics but 36 hours is also a long time, we will see what happens tomorrow. all i can share is i am doing my best to persuade colleagues, so—called spartans, like me voted three times against theresa may's deal to look at this in a favourable light. provided we can get a clear assurance, i have been given it so

so it appears that much of theresa may's deal will stay. and the eu will trade, that will impact the border with the republic of ireland. a block of conservatives refused to vote for theresa may's deal because of the irish backstop among other reasons, and parliament rejected it three times. but many of those rebels now support borisjohnson‘s proposals. here's one of them. there is a mood for compromise, people want to get this done. and there is considerably more trust in the final outcome of brexit because boris is committed to a free—trade agreement at the end of it. so i would say there is very strong grounds for optimism. the question is whether the eu will be prepared to compromise? because if they won't compromise, then we will leave anyway on 31 october, i have no doubts about that. the other key opponents to theresa may's deal were northern ireland's democratic unionist party. this time, they are more positive. we have now a sensible uk—wide arrangement for customs out of the eu. and if there's any difference to be had, we haven't

minister theresa may who was very surly while campaigninglj minister theresa may who was very surly whileral election campaign apparently. she needed a manger and was constantly grumpy. heraids were needed a manger and was constantly grumpy. her aids were worried about how she came across to the public. in the media, she came across not very well, she always looked unhappy or wooden. she needed very well, she always looked unhappy orwooden. she needed a very well, she always looked unhappy or wooden. she needed a constant reminderto keep heron or wooden. she needed a constant reminder to keep her on track and put her in front of people so you begin to understand that every time she had a photograph call, in front of people, the conservatives so that asa of people, the conservatives so that as a warning to borisjohnson, she did badly when she should have walked the election so he thinks he can walk it, he should think again. dc any of this is sexism because they are talking about being tearful? -- do you see. there is a certain amount of that, most of it is about being a wooden politician.

it is really like theresa may‘s deal. let‘s call it 95% theresa may. with the rest of the uk, he has got that, northern ireland will follow the eu customs codes and all of this regulation? how will that work in practice? is it really different and has really got what he wanted? different and has really got what he wanted ? you can different and has really got what he wanted? you can say that very much in that respect there is give—and—ta ke in that respect there is give—and—take on in that respect there is give—and—ta ke on both in that respect there is give—and—take on both sides and crucially with the eu has given borisjohnson crucially with the eu has given boris johnson west some crucially with the eu has given borisjohnson west some kind of consent for the power sharing government in stormont. they can call and into this at the four years or maybe another then after that, 48 yea rs. or maybe another then after that, 48 years. but it is not an easy mechanism. the dup does not like it. that is why they said no. there is a potential there for these a

we had an agreement with the british prime minister, it was theresa may back then.ement with the british prime minister, theresa may, who enjoyed at that time a nominal majority, in this case, we are dealing with the prime minister that does not even have a working majority, so i guess the challenge is deeperfor boris majority, so i guess the challenge is deeper for boris johnson majority, so i guess the challenge is deeper for borisjohnson to get a majority then it was far theresa may. basically we are here with a variant of the deal, so the solution to the average problem, limited to northern ireland, which was our first proposal by the way, theresa may's request, we expanded it to the entire uk, now with wash—outs, backtracking to northern ireland only solution, my sense is there is no majority for in the house of commons. no majority because the dup say the consent mechanism that is in there is not a veto for them. and there is not a veto for them. and there was never any question for us to a cce pt there was never any question for us to accept such a veto. noth

it is quite a deviation from theresa may's deal.py to be aligned to the customs union and borisjohnson does not see it as a good thing in the question is whether parliament will agree with that. i suspect that they won't, given what we know about how damaging would be for britain in its capacity to negotiate a future deal with the eu to not be aligned in terms of the customer union. or prevent them from reaching any new trade deals outside of the eu, with other countries, with all sorts. which deal would be better than the would get with the eu?|j which deal would be better than the would get with the eu? i am, it is a big trading policy, but my, i am pointing out that this is a trade—off, right? pointing out that this is a trade-off, right? is he going to get it through parliament was make if this is the plan, we are still not sure of me could be completely wrong. it depends on the dp, the initial noises from the optimistic group, not boiling hot but steve bakersaid group, not boiling hot but steve baker said they felt confident th

as it stands -- theresa may's a deal.ent, the dup is holding out as the clock ticks. it seemed like we were very close to a deal but we got these headlines from the dup suggesting they still have areas of reservation around customs, consent, and v.a.t. consent, we thought that was tied up last night. seems it was not. whether we get a deal in brussels is still a big question. tom: the dup, what is their power right now and how could their power ebb in the coming weeks? anna: yes. interesting question, tom. there are 10 seats in the houses of parliament. if you take away the ones that do not vote, the target that boris johnson you to get to his 320. if he loses 10, that's not the end of the world. if you lose 10 votes to the other side, that increases your gap to 20 in terms of your ability to get through this -- this threw two parliament -- this through to parliament. the diehard brexiteers, he has to rely on them a lot. will they follow the dup or boris johnson fleet? lead? -- boris johnson's now we understand the labour

he accepted nearly everything from theresa may 's deal and that matters.e will be different arrangements for northern ireland. and they could be permanent. and thatis and they could be permanent. and that is what makes it difficult to get through parliament. for me, intellectually, i think that is the biggest thing. is that what you do late at night? think intellectually? the backstop was always a compromise until some thing better came along. theresa may kept on saying that it was temporary but we are now in a situation where the backstop will be permanent if that is what the people of northern ireland want. it may not sound like a massive change but it really changes how the whole thing feels and looks. it is like taking a problem and looking at it differently. and a big new concept that both sides are been at pains to point out, the idea of giving the stormont assembly, which is, of course, not sitting at the moment, this idea of consent, is a new concept and that is what has changed the dial in this place. should we tell people where we are? if you don

so 90% of theresa may‘s deal will remain in place.inesses after brexit to prepare for dispensation in the future. during that period, the uk will still be paying into the eu budget. for the foreseeable future, the money is still being paid. chris morris, don‘t go anywhere. we will continue speaking to you over the coming hours because of the news that the deal has been reached between the eu and uk. how much further will it go? will it get passed by parliament on saturday? stay with us here on the bbc because we will keep you up—to—date with every twist and turn. i‘m nuala mcgovern, in brussels — where the breaking news this afternoon is —the eu and the uk say they‘ve agreed a new brexit deal. as the prime minister heads to brussels — he says he‘s got a ‘great new deal that takes back control‘ — and he urges parliament to back it. the president of the european commission, jean claude juncker, hails the deal as a "fair and balanced agreement" the eu chief negotiatior on brexit, michel barnier, confirms both parties have delivered an ac

know, and that's why, of course, the eu and theresa may came up with this idea ofa theresa may came upn't supposed to be the final settlement. it was supposed to be a temporary holding position while the details were ironed out. it has been truly extraordinary to see brexiteers who refused time after time to back her reasonable compromise deal and called it a surrender, a betrayal, that those who backed were traitors, and now, of course, just because it isjohnson putting and now, of course, just because it is johnson putting together a potentially reasonable compromise deal, they think it is all sunshine and happiness and they are willing to tolerate it. i find that kind of depressing and demoralising about the state of our politics, but if it does enable us to avoid the kind of wilful destruction of the no—deal brexit then it is worth it even if it is slightly laughable. and suggestions tonight that the dup are also in talks with the prime minister. they will be crucial in all of this, won't they? that's true, many moving parts here. i slightly disagree with polly that this is only br

"don't ask a question that doesn't arise," the negotiator said. it's a hypothesis. but one that might soon be true. not what boris johnson or his apparent new friends want to think about tonight. they may all want to enjoy this while it lasts. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brussels. now that borisjohnson has agreed a deal, all eyes turn to westminster, where mps will gather on a saturday for the first time in nearly a0 years to consider the agreement he's achieved. everyone seems to agree that the result in the commons is expected to be close. our deputy political e

i will be very honest with you, i think teresa —— theresa — — theresa may's —— theresa may's t was aspect the boris johnson deal will get through the house of commons at second reading next week, and although it is not perfect and i think there are things that we want to scrutinise, there are aspects of it i think we need to properly understand, i think leaving with a good deal is still the best outcome for the country. david gauke talking to vicki a short while ago. with me again isjoe twyman — director of the polling company, deltapoll. and it... i have seen an intranet or tweet from your political director saying that nigel dodds has said he is going to examine every moment stomach from is he saying the dup would rather reverse brexit altogether and see the pm's deal? pretty occurred in area. —— pretty extraordinary. he is saying with that threat, all the immense are under consideration ex week, whether thatis under consideration ex week, whether that is the queen's speech, the withdrawal bill and i could vote for them. that is a pretty big threat to borisjohnson. them. that is a

"don't ask a question that doesn't arise," the negotiator said — "it's a hypothesis." but one that might soon be true, not what boris johnson or his apparent new friends want to think about tonight, but they may all want to enjoy this while it lasts. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brussels. as soon as the new deal was published, there was immediate scrutinty of the areas that have hampered agreement in the past. let's have a look at the deal and it's entirely. the deal says that i

it went wrong for heath like it did with theresa may it went wrong for heath like it did with theresaelection. there are big risks if boris johnson gets this general election on the 12th of december. those dark nights, the mood in scotland, i wonder whether the north of england are quite as keen to swing to the conservatives as some suggest. yes, there are really big risks. but there hasn't been an early election in modern times that has gone the way of the prime minister who called it. that is not a prediction. maybe this one will. but it it's a big risk. jeremy corbyn is the leader who polls say is the most unpopular leader of the opposition since polling began. corbyn supporters will say that he was behind and look how well he did against theresa may. of course, he didn't win, but he did better than expected. i think that has changed and there is much less empathy and support forjeremy corbyn's party and for him. none of us would be foolish enough to sit around and predict the future, but it certainly doesn't speak well of labour's chances. if they thought they had a chance, they w

boris johnson is going back to an arrangement that theresa may put to —— that the eu put to theresa mayy, which she refused because it would upset the dup whose votes she needed in parliament. neither nationalist nor unionist communities are going to be happy with this, are they? yes, somebody's rights to be trampled on, whatever happens. either it will be a border between northern ireland and the rest of ireland, or a borrowed and the odyssey. borisjohnson has gone back to the original northern ireland only backs up, but it is now a nota ireland only backs up, but it is now a not a fullback, that is the arrangement, because we are in free canada arrangement, because we are in free ca na da style arrangement, because we are in free canada style free trade agreement, which will be a problem for the dup. they want to stay in the united kingdom, and they will see this as the first step on a slippery slope toa the first step on a slippery slope to a united ireland. that is the thing, this would be the beginning of entering the waiting room to some kind of border vote. yes, this border betwe

apparently theresa may was not very good at campaigning.” was not very good at campaigning. i thought she was a natural. he had previously been quite generous and he was most famous probably for tony blair's biography but he has been incredibly critical of theresa may and says that she was not... she needed a full—time minder in the 2017 election and there are a lot in the tory party who thought he could have beena tory party who thought he could have been a walk in the park completely collapse because of theresa may. she still won. but if she had not held the election they would have been in a better position. again she backed all the way and decided to come with us all the way and decided to come with us and make tempe a chief of staff over and now they have one mega brand. and she began to crumble and she said she needed this minder but yes, i think we saw what she was like through the end and she seems to enjoy herself on the back bench and more. she isjust kicking back and more. she isjust kicking back and watching how boris is that mac

that is what theresa may programmed for a that is what theresa may programmed fora similar that is whatou can shorten that a bit but saying that you will have three days in the house of commons is frankly insulting and also wrong and that is why it has been defeated. if you wa nt why it has been defeated. if you want isa why it has been defeated. if you want is a sensible process then you may or may not succeed in getting his bill through third reading. it may be amended in ways he does not like, isimply may be amended in ways he does not like, i simply don't not know. he thinks that there would be people who would want to amend it to make it almost unrecognisable.” who would want to amend it to make it almost unrecognisable. i do not think i would want to amend it to make it unrecognisable but i do want to amend it to put a referendum in it, that has a different matter but the house of commons is entitled to amend it. this is where the prime minister it seems to be behaving so badly and now i do not know what he's doing. he is pausing there was a suggestion today that he would threaten

most of it is the same as the one agreed by theresa may last year.ontinue to stick by eu rules until the end of 2020, and possibly longer, to allow businesses to adjust. this is what's known as the transition period. the uk will still pay an estimated 39 billion pound "divorce bill" to the eu to settle its financial obligations. the rights of eu citizens living in the uk, and uk citizens in the eu, will be guaranteed. and then there are the changes — most of them around northern ireland, which will be aligned to the eu's single market. the controversial "backstop" plan to avoid a hard border between ireland and northern ireland has been removed. northern ireland will instead remain a part of the uk's customs territory. this means the uk will be able to strike trade deals with other countries in the future. there will be a legal customs border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland, which stays in the eu and therefore remains part of its customs union. but in practice the customs border will be between great britain and the island of ire

that is a real departure, if you look back to what theresa may used to say.ceedingly astute, and this is the real concern, i think, for the french side tonight. because this in its make up is a very different deal of course to the uk wide customs agreement that theresa may was looking at. there are elements in it but of course what borisjohnson really wa nts but of course what borisjohnson really wants is for the uk to be free to do its own trade deals. he wa nts to free to do its own trade deals. he wants to diverge, he wants to perhaps relax regulations, maybe have a lower tax regimejust perhaps relax regulations, maybe have a lower tax regime just off the shores of the european union. different ideas on aid. exactly, and that alarms the french side profoundly. what i am hearing is that emmanuel macron is sick and tired of rolling extensions and if it was up to him he would probably say enough already. 0f it was up to him he would probably say enough already. of course he doesn't want to be the one, you know, holding the blame for calling time on these nego

theresa may failed three times.cover that live on this programme and on the news channel throughout the day. it's almost three and a half years since the brexit referendum. there's a desire, on all sides of the debate, to bring an end to the uncertainty over our future relationship with the eu. breakfast‘s john maguire spent the day with voters in port talbot, which is part of the leave voting constituency of aberavon — but where the mp supported remain. port talbot has been a steel town for more than a century and although it may feel like a lifetime ago, it's been three years now since people here voted to leave the european union. so with another deal on the horizon, is this a new dawn. margaret cokeley hopes so. thos who want to stay in want to stay in but i want to go out. are you worried deal or no deal? does that matter to you? a deal would be preferable but no deal, if push comes to shove. tony taylor spent aa years at the steelworks that dominate this town. he voted remain but like so many others, nowjust w

theresa may, or the european union had put to theresa may the possibility of a customs lying down inon now accepting that, seemingly, that is a big concession. it isa seemingly, that is a big concession. it is a big concession, you recall, imean, i it is a big concession, you recall, i mean, i think it was in february 2018 can theresa may standing up in the house of commons and saying that kind of line down the irish sea, thatis kind of line down the irish sea, that is something that no british prime minister could ever accept, andi prime minister could ever accept, and i look back at the video of that yesterday, and you can see boris johnson nodding along gently in the background. now, he willargue johnson nodding along gently in the background. now, he will argue this is different. because of this dual customs idea that we are putting forward , customs idea that we are putting forward, it means that northern ireland would still leave the eu customs union alongside the rest of the uk, and would therefore be able to ta ke the uk, and would therefore be able to take part in any future

or you do a theresa may envisioned which was staff the whole of the united kingdom and the regulatoryl because all boris johnson is done is say, i prefer option and they accept the important thing about option a that allows you much greater degree of freedom to diverge from eu rules after you leave if you are in england, scotland and wales. so the consequence of that is england scotland and wales will be able to treat less free with europe but they will be able to tree more freely with the us, china, mexico, india, etc. so the choice that theresa may made was between the union and access with the eu market and regulatory freedom and shows access to that market and boris johnson preferred regulatory freedom. so it is not a big diplomatic coup. if you have the metre the fish and you fail to agree on the meat in the uc you agree on the fish it is not that big ofa agree on the fish it is not that big of a difference, but the difference between meat and fish is substantial. boris johnson gets is eu deal but has he have the numbers on saturday with this unusual common sitting? this is what

but just as we did with theresa may, we will make the same proposal to boris johnson. with theresa may is their interpretation for what they were voting for three and half years ago. the lib dems have a number of sister and brother parties in europe. are you hearing any reaction from them this afternoon what they think of these proposals, whether they are going to take them seriously? i haven't heard anything yet because obviously the proposals, the ink is barely dry on them. but clearly, i would expect the response to be consistent with what has been said so far. what has been said so far, and was incidentally something the uk government had said, is any proposal that brings back something on that border, it might not be exactly on the border, it could be some distance from the border, is something they would object to and it used to be something the british government objected to as well. more broadly, if you look at this parliament, the dup are now looking at this proposal borisjohnson put forward. that could bring on side a number of brexiteers who didn‘t back theresa may‘s deal. s

may's and labour mps worth and theresa may's and labour m ps voted worth and theresa may's and labourlabour mp defies the whip? thank goodness that's up to the chief whip and not me! well, you have some influence over that i'm sure. you know, you could potentially be looking at the latest numbers of 19 labour mps potentially supporting this agreement. are you prepared to lose them and expel them from the party? well, do you know what, i've got enough on my plate being the shadow chancellor rather than being the chief whip, thank you! i will leave it to them! in all fairness to individual mps, they will look at this deal and i think they will see it is just not supported. you can't be in it is just not supported. you can't beina it is just not supported. you can't be in a situation where you vote for something and then in 12—18 months you're finding your constituents are losing theirjobs, their wages or their working conditions are being undermined and your constituents, for example, are having their consumer standards and environmental standards undermined. no—one can support that. wh

theresa may had three of these meaningful votes. this is boris johnson's first one. he's been majorly unsuccessful with every vote in parliament so far. theresa may went down historically by 230 votes in the first phase of it, 149 a few weeks later in march and 40 or 58 again when they voted on it later in march. boris johnson is widely expected to do much better than that. so it is historic. if it passes, this takes fwritan out of the european union. this is a test of him and of the country. >> good to see you. thank you. you'll be with us all day. >> i will. >> you've got the numbers. you've got the amendments. you've got all the details. so thank you very much. so the way the day will go, what we expect to happen, besides me keeping my voice, the parliament will sit in just 25 minutes from now. there will be prayers. the speaker will call the order. we will find out if any other amendments have been accepted over the course of the night. essentially at the moment, we know there three of them. boris johnson will then open the debate. it's open ended in the sense th

much of it is similar to theresa may's, for example, protecting citizens‘ rights, eu residents here, over there. the uk will also pay what the eu regards as its financial obligations, a divorce bill of around £33 billion. but the deal is different when it comes to northern ireland. there will be no border checks in ireland, but there will be checks on some goods going from great britain to northern ireland, and this has cost the support of the dup. the deal is toxic as far as northern ireland is concerned. it does not meet the promises that the prime minister made that the whole of the united kingdom will leave in the eu. so, we will not be voting for the deal and we will be voting against it, and encouraging others to do so. borisjohnson has lost the dup, but he will be hoping to hold on to some of his sceptical mps who share his views. so, would the government discipline any of their own politicians who step out of line? of course, we are going to try and persuade and point out the real positives in this deal on the substance, on the merits, and i'm confident that will help bring p

and we saw that theresa may, that was an extraordinary thing to see, theresa may really trying to gete other day and, you know, it was also interesting to see her first major intervention about this. but it is deja vu, she said, but will it, won't it, when will it or won't it? if the eu is minded to grant an extension, and it doesn't wa nt grant an extension, and it doesn't want to be seen to be interfering with what is internal, but it has to be pointed out that borisjohnson, for succeeding when many people thought it was mission impossible to get a new brexit deal, he got that, but he also confidently predicted to angela merkel and others, donald tusk, that he was confident he would get this through on saturday, so from the eu27 countries this is another british prime minister, for all the niceties that were going on oi'i all the niceties that were going on on thursday evening in brussels, who was confident on thursday but who suffered a serious setback on saturday, and they will be watching very carefully and not wanting to interfere. but, by the end of the week, certainly, ithink

matt: this looks like the theresa may backstop. how is boris johnson going to get that through parliament? maria: that is the big question, and europeans do not want to be seen as moving too much until it seems they have the numbers together. every time it comes to a vote, it has been rejected. something we were told last week, the final deal will look very similar to that of theresa may. there will be changes made to the union and applicable question, can boris johnson convince the dep that he succeeded in areas that theresa may was not able to, that he is and thatbrexiteer, they should back this deal. otherwise, it will be a cycle perhaps of mini extensions, and we cannot be in the same cycles forever. they do understand that this comes down to boris johnson, whether he is able to turn that into some kind of political spin that can help him back home, and i am sure you have heard already, suggestions at this will come down to the money, the dep wanting to see billions pouring into northern ireland. anna: it has happened before, h

steve baker on the one hand, theresa may on the other, alistair burt dot mike...re are six or seven former conservative mps who voted for the amendment today who had there not been an amendment, would have voted for the deal. the difference was 16 today, so deal. the difference was 16 today, so if they moved eight and maybe it goes through. it is a fascinating discussion, thank you both for coming ona discussion, thank you both for coming on a very cool saturday evening. it is good of you to be with us. thank you very much. well, while mps were debating in the chamber of the commons, thousands of demonstrators packed the streets of central london, calling for a public vote on any deal that's agreed. the protest, organised by the people's vote campaign, converged on parliament square, as our home editor mark easton reports. it had been billed as a march to give confident voice to those who want the brexit debate put back to the people. but as they set out the nervous chatter was how conservative mp 0liver letwin‘s amendment might be their only hope. the mood resolu

theresa may.o my right honourable friend. well, i'd like to that opportunity to pay tribute to the right honourable member for maidenhead. for her accomplishments in tackling human trafficking, for her accomplishments and drive to tackle violence against women and for the domestic violence bill that we'll be introducing in this house today for further debate. it seems to me that tory members of parliament may on occasion make women their leaders, but they need to learn... ..they need to learn how... ..they need to learn how to treat them less cruelly. the snp leader returned to brexit and appealed to other opposition mps to help topple borisjohnson. other parties need to step up at this moment of national crisis. prepare a vote of no—confidence, ensure a brexit extension, prevent a no—deal and call a general election. doing nothing is not an option. we must act. so i ask the foreign secretary will he give the prime minister a message from the scottish national party? it's not a case of if, but whe

but i think theresa may slammed that shut by saying that brexit means brexit. consensus has gone. you think it is too late? they could have offered it at several points, but the fact was that mps in the commons have not managed to get enough agreement among them. it seemed to be bubbling up again a month ago, but theyjust haven't managed to get the numbers. in quebec, we used to call it the "neverendum." we have heard that word here as well. i know you don't do astrology, but a december election? i don't think so, but... i don't think so. i think we could have it. i don't think so. we used to say in this country, when we were trying to encourage people not to buy dogs as pets for children, a dog is for life not just for christmas. i think brexit could be something similar. "let someone else fight over this long bloodstained sand", donald trump declared at the white house wednesday, as he trumpeted the "big success" which had followed the abrupt withdrawal of us troops from syria and the subsequent "incursion" by turkey. the success was a ceasefire, though one w

it is a slight reheat of an idea floated by theresa may.t of detail to be worked through on that. what do you do about goods which go into northern ireland, but then are part of another package which goes on into ireland? there are all sorts of technical details to be worked through. whether you can bolt down all the legalities by wednesday night to present to the eu is an enormous ask. although mr johnson keeps say we are leaving in october, it seems to be an extension is quite likely, because never mind the legal benn bill forcing him to extend, the practicalities of getting the legal text signed off will probably require more time. what would his position be in that event, he has said again and again sist event, he has said again and again 31st october and one thing that came up 31st october and one thing that came up during the tory leadership debate was that some of those who were standing for the leadership were saying, well, if the talks were almost there, but not quite we would agree an extension and borisjohnson was adamant that un

theresa may speaking for the first time in public on this debate.perhaps a consensus had come across the whole of the house and it had already been decided that this deal would be supported by the house tonight. u nfortu nately, supported by the house tonight. unfortunately, my view on that was premature and i think only premature, but happily for england, of course, it was a reference to jonny may having scored the first two tries in our victory against australia. i hope the whole house will forgive me that's i say standing here i have a distinct sense of deja vu. i know how you feel! laughter but today's vote is an important one. . . laughter i intend to rebel against all of those who don't want to vote to deliver brexit. cheering mr speaker, today's vote is important. the eyes of the country, the eyes of the wider world, they are on us. everyone the eyes of the wider world, they are on us. everyone in this house has a responsibility in the decision they will take to determine whether oi’ they will take to determine whether or not they will put th

it's worse than theresa may's deal. i can't see it getting the support that he thinks it will get.e'll pick through the details of the johnson plan, analyse what's new and get all the reaction. also tonight... meghan and harry end their tour of southern africa. they head back home and a legal battle with the mail on sunday. the royal shakepeare company and bp — the curtain comes down on their sponshorship deal after threats of a student boycott. is this time going to be different for katarina johnson—thompson? she makes a drean start in the heptathlon at the world championships. and coming up on bbc news, how troubled are tottenham? four months on from the champions league final, they are hammered at home 7—2 by bayern munich. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. borisjohnson has made his first party conference speech as leader — and he's used it to spell out his new offer to break the brexit deadlock. the most significant change to the deal theresa may tried to negotiate is over what happens in northern ireland. the prime minister said the uk had compromised and called

and labour says this deal is much worse for the uk than the one negotiated by theresa may. that if the uk leaves on 31st of october, it will pay around £33 billion to the eu in a so—called "divorce bill". it says eu and uk citizens will retain their residency and social security rights. and it says there will be a period until at least the end of december 2020 where the uk will still abide by the eu's rules — to give time to negotiate new trading arrangements. but there is still deep concern in some quarters about the impact of the deal on northern ireland, especially among members of the democratic unionist party. our first report tonight — on the deal itself — is from our political editor laura kuenssberg. at speed, tucked under his arm in the red folder, perhaps the way borisjohnson the red folder, perhaps the way boris johnson can take the red folder, perhaps the way borisjohnson can take us out of the eu ina borisjohnson can take us out of the eu in a matter of weeks. this is a great dealfor our eu in a matter of weeks. this is a great deal for our country, for the uk

mps, we have never seen agreed by theresa may. law. as gavin says, that is what is quite difficult to see, with explicit provisions making the role of parliament, all these issues, making it difficult. the interesting thing is that this is just about withdrawal. the real decision is much less about withdrawal and really about the long—term relationship, that is in the political declaration, not in this bill at all, that is the separate document, that boris johnson bill at all, that is the separate document, that borisjohnson signed off with the european leaders last week. the real change of substance between where he is heading and where theresa may was heading is in the long—term relationship, he is looking for a more distant relationship from the eu than she was, with consequent economic consequences, economic consequences, more freedom on domestic policy but potentially a much less close relationship and far more impediments to exporting to the eu market, then theresa may basically wa nted market, then theresa may basically wan

but, i think boris johnson's calculation, and theresa may tried the same thing, was 2.2 mps and say,table oi’ ticking, take the deal on the table or it is no deal. and when it comes back, the european council, thursday and friday, ithink back, the european council, thursday and friday, i think most unusually the parliament will sit on saturday, great. —— and theresa may tried the same thing, and pointed to mps and said, the clock is ticking. i think he will say, not perfect, we have had the compromise, but this is do—or—die. had the compromise, but this is do-or-die. johnson's hopes for swift brexit deal dented. wouldn't you be frustrated, if you were one of the british negotiators, because, you keep getting bits of encouragement, and then... and then they retreat from that. five papers in front of us from that. five papers in front of us and each one has a different spin on how promising this is. as you say, on the one hand, miracle from somehow the depths of despair, going to bea no somehow the depths of despair, going to be a no deal until friday. one walk through some cheshire gl

theresa villiers. that's it for thursday in parliament.y evening at 11pm for the week in parliament, the programme that does what it says on the tin. thank you for watching. bye for now. hello. given that we've seen so much in the way of rain and some pretty hefty showers over the past few days, in many parts of the british isles, you've probably forgotten there's another face to be had from autumn. it's the quieter, still, misty, sort of chilly starts to the days, and if that's the thing you've been hankering after, that ridge of high pressure will eventually topple its way towards the british isles, but you're going to have to wait until monday. no doubt about it, in the short term it's been this — the odd bit of blue sky and some pretty hefty showers, all thanks to a big area, not of a ridge of high pressure but quite the opposite, in meteorological terms, a big area of low pressure and it's still the boss as we work our way through friday. some pretty heavy overnight rain quitting the scene from the south—east but lingering for a good

many of the things that went wrong for theresa may were self—inflicted. things that went wrong for theresaservative party, and then it wasn't just a misfiring conservative party, and then it wasn'tjust a misfiring leader and ma nifesto, wasn'tjust a misfiring leader and manifesto, it was a misfiring campaign machine that lost the tories their majority.” campaign machine that lost the tories their majority. i remember reporting not so long ago that because of brexit and the splits in the conservative party, the finances of the party weren't in great shape. that matter5 of the party weren't in great shape. that matters when you are going into a general election, doesn't it? that matters when you are going into a general election, doesn't mm does, a great deal. elections are very expensive. i don't think it was because of brexit that the finances are in trouble, it was because of the failure to fulfil brexit and the chaotic state that theresa may's leadership had got into. we reach the point where the chief executive of the conservative party came very close to essentially bankroll party hq h

mrs theresa may. it is a landmark bill. but of course passing the legislation is only one step. this is about changing the attitude that people take to domestic abuse. rosie duffield. but it was this mp who shared her personal experiences of being in an abusive relationship that had the greatest impact. it starts slowly, a few emotional knocks, alternated with romantic gushes and promises of everlasting love, so you are left reeling, confused, spinning around in an ever—changing but always hyper—alert state. she described a pattern of threats, criticism, control and financial abuse. and the slow but sure disappearance of any kindness, respect or loving behaviour. and you get to the stage where you are afraid to go home. after 15 hours at work, you spend another hour on the phone to your mum or a close friend, trembling, a shadow of your usual self. you answer the phone and the sheer nastiness and rage tells you not to go home at all. and, having got out of the relationship, this message for others. if

that could be enough to persuade people who are on the theresa may we re people who are on the theresaat are we talking about, and what have the nca done? this really is an international law enforcement operation. some of the countries involved are the uk, ireland, the us, canada, germany, spain, saudi arabia, the united arab emirates. this website, which as you say operated on the dark web, it was actually uncovered during an investigation by the uk's nca. they we re investigation by the uk's nca. they were investigating a man who turned out to be a prolific paedophile, he is now serving 25 years in prison for paedophile offences. as a result of that investigation, the nca started looking at this website, notifying international partners. as a result, we have this global operation. to give you an idea of the scale, in the uk alone, it has led to 18 investigations, one of them, one man was jailed for 22 yea rs. them, one man was jailed for 22 years. he had uploaded images himself abusing a young girl. what the —— himself abusing a young girl. what the -- nca himself abusing a young gir

theresa may was very clear, she wa nted theresa may was very clear, she wanted migration regime thatinburgh who is is asking would the new deal ensure that the uk is a coastal state, with full ownership and control of its waters and fish? not immediately, during the transition period things would stay the same. if the transition period ended at the end of 2020, then after that, yes, in theory but fishing is bound to then become caught up in the negotiations over a feature — — become caught up in the negotiations over a feature —— future free trade agreement. yes the uk would be a coastal state but the question is how much access would it allow to european boats to its waters, and the european argument is going to be pretty simple. some parts of the british fishing industry are very heavily dependent on being able to sell their fish to the european market, so the european argument is going to be if you want access to our market, we want access to your water, and we have had statements from for example the scottish fisherman's federation since the details of yesterday's deal emerged sa
