the eu is still and will remain a very significant marketplace for us. how markets are deeply interconnected and this will remain the case for the future. that is why the prime minister has set out the government's intention to negotiate the broadest and deepest possible economic partnership, covering more sectors and cooperating more fully than any free trade agreement anywhere in the world. at the end of that debate mps agreed without a vote that the government should try to negotiate or the uk to stay in a customs union with the eu. but that decision is not binding on the government. but there was a brexit breakthrough of sorts in the week. the westminster government managed to reach a deal with the administration in wales over the devolution of powers after brexit. here is our wales political correspondent, david corner, to explain. this row has been about what happens to european powers in areas like farm subsidies and food labelling wa nts farm subsidies and food labelling wants britain leads the eu. the welsh government said those powers, as they

this is the eu's chief negotiator for the eu making tell us more. this is the eu's chief negotiatorfor the eu making crystal clear that whilst three quarters they are pretty much in agreement on what the brexit deal or the withdrawal agreement of both the uk and the european parliament have to ratify by march next year, the last 2596 ratify by march next year, the last 25% come because of the series i55ues 25% come because of the series issues involved, 5aid 25% come because of the series issues involved, said could be problematic and risks failure, he said. the chief problem being the border between the republic of ireland. this is what he had to say earlier today. translation: for the moment, we are preparing the orderly withdrawal of the uk with 25% not agreed, and that includes serious issues, especially the question of ireland. the other issue today is that some newspapers have been reporting that there are problems between the british and european side when it comes to the northern ireland border specifically, and the bbc understands the eu ha

by the next meeting of eu leaders, injune. the former speaker of the house of commons, lord martin of springburn, has died at the age of 72. he was speaker from 2000, until being forced to step down following his handling of the mps expenses scandal, in 2009. confidence in the criminaljustice system has suffered in recent months, following the collapse of cases due to failures in disclosure. that's when officers and prosecutors in the lead—up to trials, are required to hand over relevant material that may help the defence. some recent rape trials haven't gone ahead, because of a failure over disclosure, but how widespread is the problem across the criminaljustice system? clive coleman reports. early one morning in december 2013, officers from customs and excise raided tanker driver peter norton's home. while i was in the bedroom they were in the lounge, the kitchen. i heard them ransacking the place. he was accused of delivering laundered so—called red diesel fuel to petrol stations, including this one in birmingham. he wa

uk's leading business body found a vast majority of british businesses prefer close alignment with eu regulations post—brexit. on the bbc news website some of the most popular online music videos — like hit song despacito — were left unrecognisable, after hackers replaced cover images and titles with messages like "free palestine". and finally in the telegraph, the royal wedding guest list — who's on it and importantly who's not on it? we now know the likes of prime minister theresa may and president donald trump won't be, as there'll be no official invite list for political leaders. i was not on the list either. with me is jane foley, senior fx strategist at rabo bank. i will be outside in the run—up. the daily mail are looking at the dilemma facing theresa may with regards to the uk's involvement. she wa nts to regards to the uk's involvement. she wants to be a strong ally to the united states, especially given the us response following the salisbury chemical attack, and yet, does she need to go to parliament? this is interesting. like you say, this story has taken the uk'

the eu is ready to sweeten the customs union. they said that they would have a dialogue with the u.k. to make sure that it is concerns are heard, while they negotiate trade dales the it -- deals still. they would have no vote and would be forced to accept whatever they feel -- whatever the eu negotiates. why is this palatable right now? >> turkey is always seen as a bit of a bum deal. the fact that the eu could be working towards something like -- i know you don't like this, but we can offer you something better. shaftthink that we will you. it's an opening gambit. if you see that in the comment -- context of the debate in the u.k. right now, it's the ultimate redline that's going to fall down. you can perhaps see the two sides coming closer. wenie: we had that -- mark: have that house of lords vote, but waiting for the common vote today, the suggestion was that if the commons backs up what the lord's say, they would comply or not? >> there's another vote coming up and we expect another defeat for may. it would be the sixth. it w

there's a difference with the system we're putting in place for eu citizens, where eu citizens are being encouraged and asked to apply for that settled status so that they have the evidence of their status. we are making sure that this is a problem -- the problem will not occur in relation to the eu citizens. >> ben bradley. >> we've been talking about higher education in this place. does my honorable friend agree that the action we're taking as a government show that a conservative government is committed to delivering for students working with them and treating them as adults in stark contrast with members opposite who look to win votes from young people by offering undeliverable items. >> he's absolutely right. the review we're bringing in on tertiary education, is about not just assuring the funding is right, but also that young people have access to the roots through education, be it technical or university, that suits their particular needs. and last year, the right honorable gentleman, the leader of the opposition, said he would deal with student debt. students thought he was goin

it comes from the eu and then there might be lots of stories about why the eu is bad or having a bad effect. or it comes from the fact there are too many mexicans crossing the the border or we've outsourced too much of our production to the far east. i know the answer, and i'm going to provide that answer to you. and that is powerful because simple and direct message which seems to speak directly to the concerns that people have, but if it isn't backed up with evidence, with detail, with facts, with costings, with assessments of how it might actually be done, then it is not worth anything any more than any other assertion is. that's just point number one. but point number two is that it very often happens that the people who use these sorts of claims to capture the loyalty of the vote, the support of people who are feeling that they're that i bad situation, then it is deliberately misuse of that metric. so what's happening? it's a product of the fact that in recent years, and this is something social media has a part to play in also, that opinion has become something that people migh

he says the capital of the eu, he wants eu norms and laws to be considered in this case. kate: that is what we have been hearing from some protesters and her has been finger-pointing from some protesters asking why he was arrested in germany when he had traveled through the country. but of course it is worth bearing in mind that the eu arrest warrant was reactivated by spain the day before he was arrested in germany. and of course it was not the government that arrested him. brent: it is interesting. he was also coming from finland through denmark, and in those countries he was not arrested. there are lots of twists and turns in the story. kate brady, thank you very much for helping us understand. here are some of the other stores now making headlines around the world. russian president vladimir putin is in the turkish capital with talks with the turkish president. it is hers -- it is his first trip abroad since winning reelection. britain's military research center says it has been unable to prove the nerve agent used to poison a russian double agent last month was produ

eu citizens for a number of years. they are wary as to whether they would be protected. we have heard from a dutch mep today who has been talking about if the british government can't protect the rights of uk citizens, can the eu custom to protect the rights of eu citizens and their children in the years to come? raising that question about whether or not after we leave the eu, people who have emigrated here from there would be protected. a major supplier to the nhs is set to file for protection from its creditors due to what it describes as a highly challenging environment. allied healthcare operates the nhs 111 service and cares for 13,000 elderly and vulnerable people in their own homes. it says no services will be directly affected by the move. business correspondent joe lynam hasjoined me. there have been major cutbacks in public funding. local authorities have had their budgets squeezed in order to get the public finances back on a level footing. that has had a major effect on the spending power of local authorit

his dream for the eu, closed doors, illiberal values, and most of all, no migrants. it's won him elections before and he is hoping it will work again. a simple message — hungary comes first for us. but will mr 0rban come first for hungary? the opposition here is weak, fragmented, but turnouts much higher than usual. translation: the stakes are huge. we will either become an immigrant country or we will stay free. we need change, because what's happening here is chaos. the problem? everything — corruption, healthcare in ruins, low wages. viktor orban is perhaps europe's most divisive leader. it is a reputation he has carefully crafted and he is counting on it to win this election. mr orban, very few migrants are coming into this country, why the focus on immigration when so few people come? there is a question of the future. mr orban, the eu says that you flout its values and laws, is this the direction hungary should be going in? we are just standing for democracy now. and he has powerful friends — russia, poland. what hungary chooses today will influence europ

we are threatening the eu with this game, it's that game. it's like playing a game of cards, like poker. if we are leaving, we just have to leave. is there anything specific thing you noticed ? the prime minister changed. he gave us a referendum, and as soon as he didn't get the decision he wanted, he was gone. he should never have allowed it. as the prime minister, you should be impartial, i believe. you shouldn't be pro—europe or whatever it is. now she is having to deal with it as well. what's gone wrong? things are happening. there is talk about, we are discussing business gushue nation, but nothing —— this negotiation. so, you know, these comments, it doesn't stick in my head, i don't know that anything has been agreed. what has gone wrong? what's gone right? we are arguing with 27 other countries, i think it is, who don't want us to leave. how on earth are we going to get anything out of it that's advantageous to britain? i think they're talking about it, it's nearly two years since we have left. i don't know why we could not hav

is it not wanting to see something, which has got the words "eu" attached to it? is that the reason for it? or is it, which would be even more sinister and would worry me anonymously that there is an unhappiness, a suspicion, about fundamental rights? because if there's any element at all that what lies behind this is a suspicion about fundamental rights, a suspicion that people should not be able to exercise those rights, then that would be deeply, deeply, deeply unsatisfactory. my lords, we need to wake up to why the charter, in its present form, does not sit with our future constitutional settlement after we leave the eu, and why it does not fit with the body of retaining the eu law that is referred to in the bill. but a few minutes later, peers rejected the government's view and voted to keep the charter of fundamental rights in force after brexit. the bill will have to go back to the commons where mps will either accept or reject the decision of peers. and later in the day, the government suffered more defeats on the bill's measures. you're watching monday in

when the eu decides it will attacked, it isa the eu decides it will attacked, it is a lot stronger than 27 countries. if the european commission decides to introduce restrictions, it will be taken more seriously. and the third point is... can you have four poignant things? what they cannot police, which is far more insidious and not calculable, are these echo chambers created. there is no legislation. the telegraph, half of expert voices on bbc will be female by next year. how? are you asking tony? i will ask you first as the woman. tony, correct me if i am wrong explanation clearly there has been a movement about transparency, fairness, equality. the bbc were caught on the back foot with salaries and all sorts of things that i am sure if pressed a certain person could tell us pressed a certain person could tell us all about. this is a great move and can only be applauded. they have said they will ensure... it is about contributors, it is not about the topics of subjects, which is fair reader. if a story happens in parliament they will not be wheeling out some sort of half baked slightl

curious tactic when they are trying to get the eu go along with the u.s. in terms of pressuring china. that would be one of the biggest trading blocs they could bring into any action to try to pressure china. we heard from justin trudeau saying significant progress is being made on nafta. what is the latest? >> that is the most significant statement we had from government. trump was saying let's not try to rush things. all three countries have been suggesting they could have this agreement in principle within the week. there will be a meeting tomorrow with the top trade officials of the u.s., canada, and mexico in terms of trying to get through some of these remaining issues, which seems to be right now boiling down to gary and cross-border trade. dairy and- cross-border trade. there is a lot of optimism from everywhere but the white house. haidi: thank you so much for that. our editor there in washington with the latest. let's get you an update on the markets. talking about this to and fro when it comes to trade. it does not sound like trump's rhetoric ha

however, scholz opposes the swift introduction of an eu-wide scheme. back at save lenders a lot of money if it -- that could save lenders a lot of money if a foreign lender goes bankrupt full to helena: earlier i spoke outside the imf where this bring meetings of the world bank have been taking place, and i asked him how close the eu is to being granted a permanent tariff exemption. >> we are hearing it is still difficult. yesterday, the german finance minister and vice chancellor said he was optimistic that a solution could be found and there would be a permanent exemption for the europeans from those tariffs. today he sounded a bit more cautious, saying he didn't know if that would happen by the time the temporary exceptions run out at the end of april. we don't know some what is going on. talks are underway. the chancellor will come to washington next week. french president macron will be here next week. what the europeans tried to point out all the time is this is an issue where europe is united, of course, because trade is the affair of the eu, an

but that is what our membership of the eu we had to do. when we leave the eu, we will get it right. the government, presumably that is the difficult parts of this. ultimately it is down to the prime minister when she was home secretary and her successor? to be clear, not only should we be robust on migration, but our environment for hostile attitudes to illegal migration, that isa attitudes to illegal migration, that is a good thing. the government has been criticised for this terminology. the hostile environment terminology? correct. theresa may did use that phrase. we should be hostile to illegal migration. do you think amber rudd is out of the woods? i think she will weather the storm. she is the right person to put the department on track. she has apologised. a woman police officer has been sexually assaulted whilst detaining a man in sheffield in the early hours of yesterday morning. officers were responding to a report of an attempted rape on scotland street, when it's alleged a man struck the officers with a wooden signboard and sexually assaulted one of them. the man was arr

it is an agreed there should be a backstop but they disagree with the eu as to how far that the eu has proposed that northern ireland should, in effect, remains in the customs union and the single market but britain has said that isn't at all acceptable. unionists in northern ireland are deeply unhappy about this particular northern ireland's biggest reader, the dup, the democratic unionists. the dup leader, arlene foster, not the first time has been very strongly critical of mr barnier‘s bridge. here's what she has been telling our political editor. what i would like to see from the european union and indeed from the european union and indeed from ireland is a willingness to work with our neighbours and make a pragmaticjudgment work with our neighbours and make a pragmatic judgment in relation work with our neighbours and make a pragmaticjudgment in relation to these matters. you suggesting they're not willing to work with you at the moment? they become very aggressive. there was an article in the irish independent today which is very aggressive in its tone. you know, there are two

eu nationals in my own constituency have left because they feel they are not welcome. what kind of message does it send the rest of the world? maria is busy very hopeful about our place in the world but i am less so. at a time when we have the commonwealth head of state meeting and we want to do trade deals allegedly with commonwealth nations and yet we are treating former commonwealth citizens in the way we have been over windrush, we have two absolutely make sure, and the assembly the only party that was steadfast assembly the only party that was stea dfast o n assembly the only party that was steadfast on this, that eu nationals are made to feel welcome here, as is anyone else who comes to our country. we got to brexit in the end and we always do although we all think that was the first b&q and cheese for a long time when no one mentioned brexit! thank you very much indeed. norman in westminster in the sunshine so let's talk that the lovely weather. many parts of it england and where is our enjoying blue skies overhead and lovely and warm out there as well. things h

the eu has given spaina past few months. the eu has given spain a voice in a debate of the future of gibraltar which ultimately can see the type of brexit gibraltar has. 32,000 people here, 13,000 coming through. if you look around this place you get a sense of the main street outside the government office, the pubs here, of real britishness. bodies on the beat with the old hats. the red royal mail post boxes as well. what's at spain says it is not pressing for reclaiming sovereignty. going back 300 years. they are doing that for the channel of the un. they are saying that chiefly they want to jointly managed gibraltar airport and they want to have some of the terminal on the gibraltar side because they believe that that part is not, was not ceded to them 300 yea rs is not, was not ceded to them 300 years ago. studio: gave him a reporting. let's have a look at these eu guidelines. they say that there is no agreement between the eu and the uk applying to gibraltar without a separate agreement between spain and the uk. that ha

joint management could also help ensure gibraltar remains part of eu aviation agreements. but when does joint management become joint sovereignty? the distinction and the language used really matters. spain also has other concerns. gibraltar‘s tax regime, for example. corporation tax in spain is 25%. in gibraltar it isjust10%. spain says that is not fair, it wants change. again, when does that become an issue of sovereignty? british and spanish officials have been holding bilateral talks on gibraltar. mps in the house of commons are watching very closely. without some kind of deal on gibraltar in the withdrawal agreement over brexit, this british overseas territory might not be included in the transition period after brexit. in gibraltar itself and in london, that would not be acceptable. so the search for a solution is on. chris morris. the chief executive of tsb has brought in experts from the technology firm ibm to try to fix the problems with its internet banking service. half of tsb‘s customers are still unable to access their accounts online, following a major it

the government restates its commitment to leaving the eu custom union after brexit — mps will have a say later this week. an experienced runner who once appeared on television's masterchef has died after collapsing during the london marathon. a service of remembrance 25 years after the murder of the black teenager stephen lawrence — and there is to be a national commemoration every year from now on. it's 5.00pm. our main story is that the duke and duchess of cambridge have become parents for the third time. the baby boy was delivered this morning at st mary's hospital in london and is fifth in line to the throne. prince william was present at the birth and his wife and baby are both said to be doing well. the new addition to the royal family is behind his siblings george and charlotte, their father william and their grandfather prince charles in line to the throne. following a change in the law in 2013, the new prince will not replace his older sister in the order of succession. kensington palace said the name of the new royal would be announced in due course. let'sjoin our royal c

the eu, it is an all or nothing deal. the government is nowhere near, i do not think they will go near accepting free movement. they have an election to think about. mark: what do the polls tell us? want to remain out of it? do they know what a customs union is? >> these things are difficult to do polling on. -- thelish disease intricacies are not something that many people have familiarity with. when you ask people if you do not provide information, it is just for or against, you get of lot of i do not know. the way you do that has an impact on the answer. everything -- it is hard simply because there is no impartial westin. mark: one of the more interested developments was david cameron , he hadn interview disappeared into the background. he spoke to cnn and says he does not regret holes in the , but the country voted to remain. what did you make of it? there was not a whole lot of interest, which is surprising from someone who was prime minister recently. mark: are you amazed he does not regret holding out? he said tha

eu negotiators have also described mrs may's alternative packages as "unworkable". now there will be a series of crunch commons votes in which possibly there may be enough tory rebels to side with the opposition to defeat the government on this absolutely critical issue which is why, over the past 2a hours we had seen downing street trying to reassure eve ryo ne we had seen downing street trying to reassure everyone that mrs may isn't having a wobble, she is not about to waver over a customs union. she is determined britain will still leave it after brexit. thank you. that's another story we will keep across. the restaurant trade has always been a tough one. but in recent months it seems like the appetite for eating out has taken a further hit. mid—range restaurants here in the uk, like byron burger, jamie's italian, prezzo and carluccio's have been forced to shut some of their outlets in the wake of dwindling consumer spending and rising running costs. but one company says it's coming to the sector's rescue. yumpingo allows customers to leave immediate feedback o

the eu will try and decimate the industry. despite the anger and frustration, for some, this was a family day out. our last stand and we are trying to make something of it. it is a lot of fun going out in a boat. what do you think of this? not good. no. people had gathered to show support. the eu decimated ourfishing grounds and we want them back. simple as that. history has shown in the fishing industry has been a very low priority for government, and we have no confidence this will be any different. a defra spokesman said, we recognise fishing communities are disappointed, but during the implementation period, we have negotiated the uk share of catch cannot be reduced, safeguarding the livelihoods of our fishing communities. now it is important to focus on the significant prize at the end of the implementation period. adrian campbell, bbc spotlight, plymouth. the 2018 olivier awards are under way at the royal albert hall. this year, hamilton, the american hip—hop musical based on the life of alexander hamilton, leads the w

if amber rudd goes, the balance of forces between those who voted to leave the eu and those who, like her, voted to remain, could be disrupted at a potentially crucial time. so far, amber rudd may be using up as many political lives as this creature. number 10 do not want to show her the door — but tomorrow, the home secretary will have to convince mps that she's on top of herjob. iain watsonjoins me in the studio now. 0n on top of herjob it's a difficult case for her to make tomorrow?m will be twofold, making sure she has humility, that she should have known about some of the things she claimed she didn't but crucially, you can only really resign as a minister, or be forced to, you can go at any time, but forced to resign as a minister if you knowingly mislead parliament. she would say she did not know the minister, she got it wrong. she was mistaken and that will be a key part of her defence. the second part of her defence would be attack. illegal migrants like the windrush generation and the labour party, attacking them for this, she would say what would they have done instead ?

i think in terms of the eu at boe story, it is the eu that will come out ahead on this one. we will see the euro outpacing sterling. given that you have flown in from switzerland, where are we on that debate? a couple of years ago, the question is, is the swiss selling running out of momentum? on the your perspective next move on the swiss franc the euro and the dollar? peter: i think the swiss is on back footing against both currencies. -- s and b is not going anywhere. it favors any other currency other than the swiss franc. that thateculation slowly grinding higher inflation and switzerland would force the s and b to react, that is clearly not the case. the swiss franc as a global safe deceleratedcy has recently. there is sensitivity to the global macro event is not playing through the swiss franc haven as it had before. it is more regional european event risk that is driving the swiss franc. syria,u have events in if you have concerns about the u.s. china protectionism, and you have a safe haven trade, it is not picking up well in the swiss franc. there is risk aversion

vonnie: how do you improve things like eu integration with brexit in the background? does brexit need to be resolved before the eu continues on with the strategy of integrating more country agreements into the zone? david: i think that the brexit negotiation is on its own track. we need to finish it by october so that the necessary ratifications can take place, but i think the interesting thing is, that the response in the rest of europe has been increased support for the european union. and the 27 are determined to continue on the path of progressive integration, particularly in the economic and monetary area, which needs additional work. i think that that work will continue and we have held out the prospect of the future succession of the western baltic countries, not in immediate future, but in the next 7-80 years. this process -- 7-8 years. this process will continue. we wish the british were not leaving, but the rest of us are committed to the benefits which european integration brings to our citizens. vonnie: david o'sullivan, thank you for your time today. the

today's arrival, the eu's chief negotiator, meeting the irish prime minister. both say a close trading relationship with the uk in future depends on britain coming up with new ideas for the border. we recognise that in order for that to be achieved, the united kingdom's approach to the negotiations will need to change in some way. but this isn't about punishing the uk, said mr barnier, in response to criticism from the dup. there is no spirit of revenge. no spirit of punishment. i profoundly regret brexit, for many reasons. and i have been never aggressive. the british government believes a free—trade deal with the eu would mean there would be no need for customs checks on the irish border after brexit. but michel barnier‘s preferred fallback, of keeping northern ireland in the customs union while the rest of the uk leaves, continues to provoke unionists. i don't think he does understand the wider unionist culture of northern ireland. he's hearing a very strong message from the republic of ireland's government. he's hearing it from sinn fein. we have tried

the rest of the eu is watching. i want to squeeze in a few more. the financial times, martin carney talks down the rate rise talk. the front page of the financial times a few days ago was rate rise in may. the financial markets are wrong to assume a interest rate rise in may. they say. more like the financial times is wrong to assume! we know the interest rates are historically low. it went up to 15% in one day about 15 years ago. but this is still... there was the expectation there would be a gentle rate rise, there is still likely to be a long—term rate rise, according to mark carney. rates are likely to rise but the bank is conscious that there will be other meetings and it might not be next month. it will come, but they will be some respite for homeowners. daily express, stop this injustice, what is this about? the cost of care. arab reaction was, this is a story we have seen before —— our reaction was. it seems to be a postcode lottery in existence, leaving care patients faced with huge bills because of where they live. this is a new sho

that they will not be disadvantaged by any incoming eu policies during the implementation time. during that connive reassure him we have negotiated that the uk's share of cash cannot be reduced. it safeguards the likelihood of art fishing communities. but also an obligation in agreement on both sides to act in good faith and throughout the implementation time it would obviously breach of that obligation. in 2020 we will be negotiating fishing opportunities of who can have access to that. for the first time in over 40 years. thank you mister speaker. in my constituency we are putting that finishing touches on. as we near the end of that contract almost 400 people are facing redundancy. will they visit them. to explain face-to-face award 1 million pounds when you have the skills and the talent to deliver late yield. can i think the honorable gentlemen. what we are doing for a national shipbuilding strategy is giving that there. while increasing economic growth across the country. and investing in investing in a more skilled workforce. we are encouraging a more competitive industry

we'll be asking if the windrush controversy has any implications for eu citizens and their status in the uk after brexit. also tonight: the substance used to poison a former russian agent was a highly purified form of novichok, according to the global chemical watchdog. many students from england, wales and northern ireland could face higher debt repayments in future because of a higher rate of interest. a special report from barrow—in—furness, where deaths from drug abuse have risen sharply in recent months. and we talk to the 83—year—old artist with two major exhibitions this year. and coming up on sportsday on bbc news, find out how manchester united got on against bournemouth as they look to keep a firm grip on second place in the premier league. good evening. theresa may has apologised once again — this time to mps — for the government's mistreatment of caribbean migrants who came to britain between the the 19405 and 19705. some have been wrongly threatened with deportation, despite living in britain legally for decades. labour says they've been treated like criminal

sara: european foreign ministers from all 28 eu member states have met in luxembourg to coronet their response to the recent events in syria. the foreign policy chief, said that progress is slow. she spoke after the talks and said that a solution to the conflict seemed to be more faraway than ever. in a show of unity, the minister said that they are backing all measures to prevent further chemical attacks including the recent western airstrikes. they reiterated that there can be no military solution to the,. for more analysis bring in our london correspondent birit maas. theresa may is facing some opposition at home. how important to theresa may is the support coming from the european union really? when it comes down to domestic politics. birgit: it was something she definitely stressed here in the house of parliament, she was defending and explaining what she did. she did say she spoke to other european leaders, such as voter angela merkel and justin trudeau from canada. she had this international backing. she wants to be seen as somebody who doesn't just actual but somebody i should

by leaving the customs union, by establishing a new and ambitious customs arrangement with the eu, we will be able to forge new trade relationships with our partners around the world. when it came to the vote, the government came off worst. contents 348. not contents, 225. so the contents have it. peers voted against government policy and to explore staying in a european customs union. so ministers will ask mps to overturn tonight‘s defeat. not because it means a change of policy inside government, they‘re saying having to explore membership of a european customs union is so vague it might make no practical difference. but there are more struggles to come about the shape of brexit and a final deal. ministers will give no ground to their opponents, if they can avoid it. the shape of brexit, the prime minister and the government‘s authority depends on the outcome. john pienaar, bbc news, westminster. time now for all the sports news in sport today. welcome to sport today live from the bbc. coming up. chris smalling puts manchester united on the front foot before from lu ka ku. man

, and it puts the power in parliament's eu, and it puts the power in pa rliament‘s hands and eu, and it puts the power in parliament's hands and that takes away a big piece of leverage for theresa may. she will have to try and overturn that when it comes back to the house of commons. this is where we are heading. we have lots of arguments about what was going to happen, what pa rliament‘s of arguments about what was going to happen, what parliament's role was going to be but the reality is, these kind of votes by showing exactly where parliament believes itsjob is exactly where parliament believes its job is and exactly where parliament believes itsjob is and some of exactly where parliament believes its job is and some of those rebels, i9 tory rebels in the lords including the likes of michael heseltine but also the pattern and david willetts. —— lord patten. what happens when it gets to the commons will be very interesting, but it will, we will see more of this, this is about parliament exercising its right. will amber rudd be joining those rebels? that will be an interesting

that is outside the eu, it will remain between 13. —— be 16 years old. within the eu it will be 16. the point that this article makes here is that how are they going to enforce it. from what i understand from this article, if you are trying to log onto whatsapp or create an account in the eu and i think i am under the age of 16, then you are told you need to get a guardian's permission. i was thinking that under 16 sites are going to... maybe they will it will bea... going to... maybe they will it will be a... they probably want. even if we give them the benefit of doubt it is very difficult to see how the company intends. -- they probably won't. —— how they intend to police it. it comes back to parenting, doesn't? it depends on the parents. interesting this happens now. there's an appetite and government to crack down on the use of internet and some of these apps. at least by unixes. over the weekend, jeremy hunt was reading the riot act to companies that facebook and google and he has said the conversations he had with them the last six months, that they haven't yet done enoug

it is not just about what happens at the snap, it is what happened at the eu referendum. we have to look at the landscape. i know that there were bots online for the eu referendum and they were tweeting for leave. and they were male. so we need to look at the whole thing. this is kind of reminiscent of what we have been hearing about in the us with the robin gill indictments. been hearing about in the us with the robin gill indictmentsm happened in france as well at their election —— robert mueller. we need to look at the whole landscape, not just one part of it. if we only look at one part of it will not get the whole picture. anne, take danny pate on the sunday times. we have a perilous moment according to reporters for theresa may —— take us down the page. an extraordinary high immune moment in number 10, it seems, david davis, it set him or me. the him on me is the chief civil servant in charge of brexit negotiations to david davis regards asa negotiations to david davis regards as a malign influence. david davis is the brexit secretary. we are suggesting he i

joint management could also help ensure gibraltar remains part of eu aviation agreements. when does joint management becomejoint aviation agreements. when does joint management become joint sovereignty? the distinction and the language used really matters. spain also has other concerns, gibraltar‘s tax regime, for example, corporation tax in spain is 25%, in gibraltar, just 10%. spain says that is not fair, it wa nts 10%. spain says that is not fair, it wants change. when did that become an issue of sovereignty? british and spanish officials have been holding bilateral talks on gibraltar and mps in the house of commons are watching very closely. without some kind of deal on gibraltar in the withdrawal agreement over brexit, this british overseas territory may not be included in the transition period after brexit. gibraltar it self, —— in gibraltar it self and in london, that would not be acceptable, and so the search for a solution is on. —— itself. our europe reporter, gavin lee, is in gibraltar. just hearing how important the airport is. it is unique, the only
