willem joins us from westminster. the question is who is likely to succeed dominic raab as the next brexit secretary >> i can't answer that for you but it will be someone who can deliver on what theresa may said is the only deal in town dominic raab has been nexting on negotiating on behalf of the uk, and david davis has come out in the past criticizing what he sees as this draft proposal. he signed off back last december on the idea of an irish backstop it seems that would be an important requirement for the next brexit secretary, someone who believes this approach is the best there is. theresa may did seem relatively relaxed. she acknowledged it was a difficult few days, that she was tired, but she was in command of the facts. she seemed sympathetic to some concerns raised by listeners there are some interesting points to bring up she talked about concessions made by the european side. she wanted to play up the idea that it's not just the uk that has made concessions in these negotiations the europeans she said had

government — an independent think tank which scrutinises the workings of government — and she joins us from westminstercal things. what is the timetable the government is working to in terms of trying to get this deal approved in order to ensure that we do, as we have said, leave at the end of march 2019? well, the prime minister's preferred timetable now is to get through the next week and to get to this special european summit next sunday where the deal would be rubber—stamped. after that, she has got to give parliament it is meaningful vote that because parliament has to decide how it wants to conduct that vote and whether the motion that the government brings forward will be amendable or not, which is quite significant. if the government succeeds in getting the meaningful vote agreed, then the next thing is to introduce a piece of primary legislation to put the withdrawal agreement into uk law. and that is in keeping that has to happen. 0n the government's timetable for us to leave in an orderly fashion on the 29th of march. and in terms of that process , 29th of march. and in terms of that process

thank you very much for talking to us from westminster.n california are still struggling to contain the wildfires that have devastated large areas of the state. at least 76 people are now known to have died. thousands of homes have been destroyed and the authorities say more than 1200 people are unaccounted for. president trump expressed his sadness as he visited the devastated town of paradise where many lives were lost. jenny kumah reports. ten days on, and the fires in some parts of california are still burning. more than 5,000 people have been involved in tackling what's become a national emergency with the blaze spreading over 149,000 acres. new footage has emerged showing the scale of what firefighters are up against. meanwhile, the death toll and the number of people unaccounted for continues to rise. since last night, an additional five remains were recovered, bringing the total up to 76 human remains. four of those human remains were found in paradise. all four were found inside structures. president trump visited affected areas y

we can speak now to our political correspondent ben wright, who joins us from westminster. may is kickstarting a tour round the uk to convince people that her deal is the right one. how damning are president trump's comments? a torpedo from the other side of the atlantic, president trump seeming to demolish the agreement that she is try to sell around the country. deciphering what he meant isn't a lwa ys deciphering what he meant isn't always easy and in this case it isn't, during the transition phase that theresa may signed off on a mud that theresa may signed off on a mud that trade would be the same, downing street insists that the declaration apart of this deal, will allow the uk to pursue an independent trade policy and allow bilateral trade policies to be signed with countries like the us. it is an incredibly unhelpful remark, according to number ten, theresa may's critics have lined up, some of those who want her to stay in the eu, to point to donald trump and say he doesn't even think this deal is good. the prime minister is having a tough week on a question about t

willem joins us from westminster with more. what more can you tell us? >> arlene foster like everyone else in the dup has not seen the details of this text, so she's saying that based on her understanding of what it will contain. last night her party spokesperson on brexit essentially issued a threat towards the prime minister >> if she doesn't keep her side of the bargain, she knows the consequences though i suspect our agreement, of course, is not with theresa may. it's with the conservative party. it will be up to the conservative party to decide whether or not they wish to keep the agreement with us in place >> it's worth reiterating that today is about getting this proposal through the cabinet that is a very small group of conservative mps with theresa may as their head. she has been working hard to bring them on her side, talking to them about specific concerns they may have to do with this draft text that her negotiating team has agreed. further down the road, we will see a parliamentary vote on any withdrawal agreement that is where the parliamen

let's explore this further with our political correspondent leila nathoo who joins us from westminsterlittered with examples of how statements have been interpreted in different ways. in this instance, why is the dup saying a promise has been broken?” saying a promise has been broken?|j think saying a promise has been broken?” think this is a reminder of how many fronts there are where negotiations are taking place, not only taking place between the uk and brussels but also in negotiations between the conservative government and dup and within the government. this point of contention relates to the insurance policy, the idea of keeping the irish border open, free from checks under any circumstances. the sticking point between the uk and brussels is theresa may wants a time limit on that insurance policy, so it could expire at any point in brussels says if it is an insurance policy that comes to an end in you can decide when it comes to an end it is not an insurance policy. they wa nt it is not an insurance policy. they want this backstop to a backstop that ensures under all circumstanc

they're now not expected until april 2020. 0ur chief political correspondent, vicki young, joins us from westminster strongly about all of this, as do many others in the house of commons. we heard some of that today. there are many who feel that today. there are many who feel that the industry was preying on vulnerable, often poorer people, that suicide rates among gambling addict is much higher than the rest of the population. so, this is a change that many campaigners wanted, including the minister. so, reducing that from £100 to £2 was seen as a very positive move. the timetable over this... today, the culture secretary, jeremy wright, suggested there had been no date mind. but actually most people have thought that the change might well coming in april next year. in the budget, the government said it would be 0ctober. the reasoning for that, they say, is that it the reasoning for that, they say, is thatitis the reasoning for that, they say, is that it is a big change and there could bejob that it is a big change and there could be job losses that it is a big change and there could bejob losses i

from westminster. now the latest from westminster. now the latest weather from darren bett. good evening. it didn't seem cold for most of ussnow over some high ground. in derbyshire earlier on. nothing unusual about that. the weather changed across many other parts of england and wales with some welcome sunshine earlier on today. the clearer skies make mean temperatures fall away for now. it could be quite frosty overnight. not much rain around. a few showers. heavy in the south—west. they will move away. a few showers in northern ireland and in scotland they perhaps continue in the far north—east. largely clear skies developing quite widely. that allows temperatures to pull away quite quickly in 0xfordshire, could see —64 minus seven. later in the night we will see more cloud in eastern areas stopping temperatures getting too cold. for northern and eastern parts of scotland not as cold as further west. some showers mostly of rain. not quite as cold for northern ireland. a few showers running away towards the west early in the morning. clothing over quickly in northern ireland and east england's, east anglia, south—east of

from you, for now, thank you. welljoining us now from westminster is joeyjones, a former advisor to theresa may. has said it is a critical week. what do you make of her position? can she survive it? yes, the fact she survived last week, when particularly on thursday things were looking very tenuous indeed, that suggests she can continue to soldier on. but there is danger every way she looks at the moment. clearly, the focus today is going to be on whether or not her most vehement opponents can get those 48 letters which will precipitate us into that confidence vote. but there are problems all over. i think that actually, potentially the most critical area for her is among those cabinet collea g u es for her is among those cabinet colleagues who are banding together, we're told, to look at whether or not, or the extent to which, they can modify the withdrawal agreement ina way can modify the withdrawal agreement in a way that they feel would lead toa in a way that they feel would lead to a better deal. and yet theresa may has absolutely said, and so have the other eu leaders that other was talking

sammy wilson is the dup's brexit spokesman in the commons, and joins us from westminster.ith us. are you someone thank you for being with us. are you someone who is really in that buccaneer in the area that chris was talking about, or do you think that i lying to yourselves closer to the eu after brexit for trade purposes is the simple way forward? eu after brexit for trade purposes is the simple way forward7m eu after brexit for trade purposes is the simple way forward? if you look at the situation in northern ireland, very little of our trade is with the eu, a seventh of our trade is that the eu, the rest is with gb or the rest of the world market. the growth areas are in the rest of the world market, which is where we are finding our exports, which are booming, are mostly going to know. that is why new opportunities are opening. ina that is why new opportunities are opening. in a deal which cuts you off from being able to fully exploit those markets is bad. of course don't forget, if the irish backstop comes in operation, we cannot even participate in any future trade d

one of those is mark francois, who joins us from westminster. t talking now so you have been one of those bold and honest enough to say that you have sent in your letter? yes and i was old and honest enough to publish my letter so that anyone can understand my reasoning. so my constituents could understand my reasoning and white i have done it. you would never do this lightly against your prime minister. and within the group, how many people, do you know how many people have sentin do you know how many people have sent in letters of no—confidence? do you know how many people have sent in letters of no—confidence ?|j really do not know. the only person that knows that is so graham brady. and someone said earlier he does not even tell his wife. so here's the anyone who knows but one i can tell you is that it went up by one yesterday. i have spoken to several collea g u es yesterday. i have spoken to several colleagues who have put in letters yesterday. at the end of the day most colleagues are now back in their constituencies. i imagine that they w

well, joining us from westminster to discuss this further is the liberal democrat mp, alistair carmichael. there is not much of a debate where there is no disagreement. the real debate on this issue is between people like theresa may and jeremy corbyn on one side and the liberal democrats and others who say, now that we know what the deal is, the final say must be given to the people in a people's vote. that would be a meaningful debate. at the moment we see no sign of the bbc and others wanting to ta ke of the bbc and others wanting to take it on. i think we need to hear from them that why it shouldn't be a meaningful debate. these debates normally happen prior to the public getting to vote on something, whether it's a referendum ora something, whether it's a referendum or a general election. this is a debate without the prospect of there being any public vote and said, theresa may says actually between them, jeremy corbyn and she represents around 90% of mps in the commons. mps will be voting after all. mps will be voting, and we will have a debate in the house of commons. it is good be

no, i am collecting my child from football training and doing some work on the environment. the conservative mp mark francois joins us now from westminster of a number of mps who has submitted a letter of no confidence in the prime minister. thanks for being with us. you've had a busy morning doing interviews explaining your position. let me be clear about one thing that you: in what way would changing your party leader and therefore the prime minister change the outcome of these negotiations, do you believe? the prime minister is irretrievably committed to chequers, which we believe means britain doesn't leave the eu will that we would be half in and half out, the worst of all worlds, and the house of commons knows this, and that is why it will never pass the house of commons, and every mp who might be watching this broadcast nose in the heart of hearts that that is true. so your argument is that because she said this is the deal, take it or leave it, and you will leave it, as will your colleagues, someone else can come in and start again, effectively, or come in with some changes. if there any reason to believe that anyone in brussels

theresa may has gained backing from her cabinet for the divorce deal, but maria tadeo joins us from westminster question, whether she can get her deal approved by parliament? before that, questions of resignations. are we likely to see any in the coming days? that's right and we need to take a step back and look at yesterday. the cabinet meeting went on for five hours. at one point, it was unclear if she would give a statement. all we have is deal, no deal, or no brexit. -- no one has done this yet and there is speculation we should see a leadership challenge, but none of this yet. it is wanting to keep an eye on. be ina may will parliament today carried the sense from the prime minister yesterday is at this point, this is all we have. the european union will not offer a better deal. manus: we just had a conversation with the liberal democrat who said brussels and the europeans are probably rubbing their hands with glee this is after the a miss. -- mess. what is going on in brussels? will there be a special summit now that it is past the cabinet staging the united kingdom? maria: we heard from

let's explore this further with our political correspondent iain watson, whojoins us from westminsterl fiendishly complicated, when people hear the phrase backstop to the backstop but essentially, this is about communication and the dup feeling the prime minister has gone back on a promise to them. that is right, fiendishly complicated, as you say but it comes down to one very simple thing, a rare commodity in politics perhaps but it comes down to trust. effectively, the dup, the prime minister's allies, propping her up in parliament, are suspicious she might do some kind of deal with the european union which is not to their benefit. this is where it becomes for the casual observer, i think, pretty bizarre. let me take you through it. this letter was sent by theresa may to arlene. —— to the dup leadership and it makes clear that the eu's proposal to keep northern ireland in some kind of customs arrangement, following eu rules after brexit if there is no wider trade deal, that that proposal, as the prime minister would put it, would not come into force. you would think that sounds incr

let's speak to the children's minister nadhim zahawi, he's backing the pm and joins us from westminster you are backing the prime minister, you think this deal is the right one, why? let me say this. the deal is an comfortable deal but it is uncomfortable for both sides. we can talk about why thatis, both sides. we can talk about why that is, pasture that is, —— both sides. we can talk about why that is, —— the eu wanted the backstop that is, —— the eu wanted the ba cksto p to that is, —— the eu wanted the backstop to beat northern ireland specific and the prime minister is not having that. if there is to be a backstop, and we have got a choice after the two—year implementation period as to whether we go into the interim inpatient or go into the backstop, it will be a uk backstop and that makes the eu and constable. and it will be an orderly brexit which we need to safeguard jobs and prosperity and the economic miracle that this country has delivered with low and implement. we put that at risk, or the other side which is some politicians who want to rerun the referendum, and he then los

the education secretary damian hindsjoins us from westminster now.ommons, from mps of all parties, to that encourage you that a vote, a win in the commons for theresa may is possible, or has become less likely? well, we have got a deal now, we have got a political declaration as well as the withdrawal agreement. is strong deal. it contains aspects that people do not think were possible just a few months ago. of course now it is for members of parliament to give that proper scrutiny, have full debate, have in analysis, at the end of it we will have a vote and i think we'll have a very good debate over that time. i do think at the end of it, i do think that minds will be focused, i think people will come to see that as well as delivering firmly on brexit, delivering firmly on brexit, delivering the democratic construction of british people, it also does that in a way that is good forjobs and livelihoods. how concerned are you about that tweet from the spanish prime minister, saying that the differences remained? this is over gibraltar specifically, qui

our political correspondent chris masonjoins us now from westminster. good morning to you. t has emerged is what they thought at the time. what can you tell us? yes, this was an insight into what was going on around the table in the summer going on around the table in the summer at cheetahs. senior cabinet ministers at the time walked out as a result of the "agreement" which the cabinet signed off at the end of the cabinet signed off at the end of the day —— chequers. now we know the scale of concern around the table. the chancellor philip hammond talked about britain being on borrowed time, people delaying investment as a result of uncertainty around brexit. liam fox talked about concerns around getting deals with other countries around the world. sajid javid, home secretary, expressed concern suggesting there might have to be a five—year cap on how long things stayed in place before the review. chris grayling was concerned lots of conservative brexiteers would want to go on strike as a result of the ideas. in other words lots of concern around the table about whether the d

joining us now from westminster is the political pollsterjoe twyman. thank you for talking to us. lot of people are concerned about what will happen to them personally and have almost stepped away from the chaos that has been surrounding westminster this week. what is your polling day? that is broadly true. most people are not paying too much attention to the details, barely anyone has read all 500 pages of the deal. it is about how things will affect them, what it means to you. that is important for people. they have based their opinion on that and what they have concluded is that generally speaking they do think it is a deal they can support. 0nly they do think it is a deal they can support. only about one in five people thinks it is right. that is similar for people thinks it is right. that is similarfor remainers people thinks it is right. that is similar for remainers and levers. people thinks it is right. that is similarfor remainers and levers. a lot of people think it goes far too far. if they wanted to remain. and for people who voted leave itjust does not go far enough.

the language we heard from donald tusk and michel barnier is very, very unlikely >> no doubt it will be a busy couple months for you. thanks for bringing us the latest from westminster on this all-important day from the uk. >>> french finance minister, bruno lemaire, described brexit as a historic mistake. speaking at the women's form in paris he also lashed out at british politicians for lying to people during the brexit referendum campaign. karen is at the women's forum in paris. not mincing his words there, mr. lemaire. >> he was very open on stage, and we had an opportunity to catch up with bruno lemaire, he did said he wanted a smooth process of brexit, that that would be good for europe keep in mind that let's go back to where the french started. they wanted to extract blood effectively from the uk in this process. they wanted to send a message to europe that exit at your peril they wanted the toughest possible deal. just some comments in the last couple of months saying any decision that leaves european citizens with the impression that you can leave the european union and keep all of the adv t advantages would be suicidal when i caught up with bruno lemaire

our political correspondent jonathan blake joins us from westminster. is perhaps the most remaining 5% which is perhaps the m ost d evoted remaining 5% which is perhaps the most devoted of all, the part of it which refers to what would happen if a trade deal can't be done by the end of december 2020 when the transition period finishes to avoid checks at the northern ireland border and that is still the main sticking point, the main stumbling block in negotiations. as you say, the environment secretary michael gove has called for the legal advice that the government gets on that to be given to cabinet ministers in full. and there are growing calls from others at westminster for that to be published more widely. the dup say it should be made public on a matter as important as this, and labour are saying that mps at least should get to see it and the shadow brexit secretary sir keir starmer made that point in brussels a little earlier. i hope the government has the good sense to realise this is so important that it makes it available in parliament for us t

tracy crouch, thank you very much forjoining us from westminster.the agreement are. although they have not been confirmed. the plan involves keeping the uk as a whole aligned with the eu customs union for a limited time. this would avoid a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland, which has been one of the most contentious issues in the negotiations and is known as the ‘backstop‘ plan. but it‘s believed that northern ireland would remain in a deeper relationship with the eu and abide by some additional rules and regulations. under the plan, an independent committee of uk, eu and external members would be set up to review ending this arrangement, this backstop, but the uk would have no unilateral right to leave it. that‘s what we think we know so far. with me now is the liberal democrat mp christine jardine. nice to see you. this is a moment of history. we have a cabinet meeting at the moment, it may not go the prime minister‘s way. if she does, she comes to this place. what should happen they are? we should vote to put the de

as a temporary solution to avoid a hard border with ireland a small pool brennan joins us live now from westminster hall it looks like significant progress for two reason may. i was going to say if you're asking me whether i've read the full five hundred eighty five pages i haven't managed to just yet but i'm working on it yes i mean it covers obviously everything it's the whole withdrawal agreement that it's finally been agreed at negotiator level this is it needs higher approval still of itself negotiates a level they appear to go to everything done it's a vast array of issues we're looking at for example citizens rights from natural settlements have a transition period protocols on island gibraltar and saya process and perhaps the most crucial in the woman's coming make of the most headaches but for people here in parliament is the issue of the northern ireland border and what it appears that they have agreed is they have agreed how to avoid hard core debt between the island of on. their high island and a moving island but they haven't yet got to the stage of actually putting it into fully final

and house of doors is in westminster hall until december the third. that's it from me for now, but dojoin us programme by searching for parliament on the bbc iplayer. but for now from me, goodbye. hello there. the second half of the weekend is looking fine and sunny for most areas of the uk, with a chilly wind out and about. yesterday we had some sparkling visibility, clear blue skies across the highlands of scotland. we had a number of beautiful weather watch pictures sent in to us. but you know what? 0ur weather patterns are all interlinked. what happens to the north—west of us, near the arctic circle, north iceland, we had to temperatures up to 17 celsius. just astonishing. 1a degrees above normal. it has set in place a chain reaction. the warm air will go in to the arctic and the arctic responds by chucking cold air out across northern europe. that ultimately is heading to our shores in the next couple of days. a change in the weather is just around the corner. before we get that it will be a chilly start to the day this morning because we have had these clear skies for most of the night

sticking point in reaching a brexit deal. 0ur chief political correspondent vicki young joins us now from westminstere plan is for the uk to leave together and this so—called backstop position to prevent a hard border coming into force if there is no trading arrangement that deals with that issue, then they want to make sure they are not being treated differently. will they have to follow different rules rather than mirroring them? follow different rules rather than mirroring them ? that follow different rules rather than mirroring them? that is a major problem. labour will be trying to find a way in parliamentary terms to force a vote on all this. this is what the dup had to say today. we wa nt what the dup had to say today. we want the prime minister to get the best outcome for the uk, we want her to get a good deal and that includes northern ireland. and that we leave together as one country. that is why we want to see the legal advice, not because we doubt the prime minister, but because we need to understand when it comes to a meaningful vote in the house of commons the basis on which we are tak

the chancellor philip hammond joins us now from westminster. good morning. deal has many critics, what we have not heard is a better plan. this is the only plan available for a negotiated exit from the eu that will allow us to deliver brexit in accordance with the referendum decision, and protect our economy. that is what we regard as our principal task. you reiterate her message that it is the only plan, it doesn't make it a good plan. it is the best plan available. we have been even a clear structure by the british people to exit the eu and what we spend our time doing is negotiating an exit that protects the british economy, protects people ‘sjobs, the british economy, protects people ‘s jobs, protects the british economy, protects people ‘sjobs, protects british businesses, allows our export businesses, allows our export businesses to carry on trading with the european union so that we can carry on seeing rising wages and rising living standards over the yea rs rising living standards over the years to come. that is what the british people want. they wan

us. remotes from frankfurt, from westminster., within the united states, is alex webb of bloomberg opinion. the only one i can think of to talk about facebook and its uproar is you. distance, it seems like arrogance, we are a private company, even if we have the advantages of a public company. is there regret within facebook and other technology companies that they went public? can they have it both ways? has been ank there huge benefit of going public. that business model is what is creating problems. it has been a private company. if that had not been the case, it would have been hard to guess valuation. thatthey went public, created the need to create a business model. exploiting people's data. who was responsible? cheryl sanders. she did not do that as the story makes clear. she is implicated as heavily as anyone else in their response. dyingo you look -- i am to talk to alex webb about this -- do you look at the new york times article as a sea change in governance and executive responsibility for these young turks and their

us. you are watching the bbc news special from westminster.ty and the conservative party's peter warren committee gave the reaction to events today. we have ten days to ratify this deal on the 25th, there will be, i suspect, a leadership challenge in that period against theresa may, so whether she remains prime minister is unclear. what is clear is that he cannot get this deal through parliament. my belief is that politics is stuck, and will remain like that in westminster for some time. the only way out of this is to somehow go back to the bible. peter bone, you put in your letter sometime ago. what are you hoping this process within your party is going to show britton —— go back to the people. i wanted a policy change, not necessarily a change of prime minister, but when she will not change the policy, we will be to do that is to change the leader. we both agree that the brexit gilbert forewa rd both agree that the brexit gilbert foreward is both agree that the brexit gilbert forewa rd is unacceptable both agree that the brexit gilbert forew

brexit trade agreement. 0ur political editor laura kuenssberg gave us the latest from downing street. at the reception in westminsterion in westminster tonight, theresa mayjoked about brexit as the b word, and while it is not a swear word it is an enormous challenge on every front, another reminderfrom enormous challenge on every front, another reminder from the irish leader today that he and the rest of the eu will not accept that so—called backstop, the insurance policy to guarantee a return to a high border in northern ireland, whatever happens. if it has some kind of time—limit or shelf life on it, and also not if the uk could suddenly tear it up when they feel like it. the problem is that is exactly what some of the ministers who will gather he would theresa may tomorrow morning want. they fear that, if the uk signs up to the backstop without a way of getting out of it, when the uk decides that it wants to, and without some kind of finality, well, then britain could potentially be locked in some kind of limbo, never really quite leaving the european union, and still being tucked in and having to obey its rules
