committee, lord norton. anne taylor, now lady taylor, who was a labour whip during her party's turbulent time in office in the late ‘70s. she is also now the chair of that constitution committee, which released its latest report on the eu withdrawal bill on thursday and pete wishart, the snp's spokesman on the constitution in the commons. i began by asking him, given that the uk was leaving eu, how he would tackle brexit. my view is that the dysfunctionality of the repeal bill, the way it applies across the nations of the european union, suggests that this isn't the means to deliver it. i have just come from the debate there and i have a real sense that some of the big feelings of this bill has started to be reset right now. a real sense that some on the backbenches of the conservative and the front benches of the labour party, and some of the rest of us have an interest in this, there dobb progress to be there is progress to be made on this. like, what with respect, you haven't answered my question, what

lord bramall and lord brittan were accused by the same man — who is now being investigated for perverting the course of justice. more than m00 people have died and a0 million have been left homeless or displaced after catastrophic flooding across several south asian countries. parts of india's financial centre, mumbai, are under several feet of water and in the eastern state of bihar, more than 500 people have been killed. president trump has arrived in texas for the second time, to see what more can be done for people driven out of their homes by hurricane harvey. he'll make a point of meeting survivors and talking to volunteers, after facing criticism that last time he spoke only to officials leading the response to the storm. he'll also go to neighbouring louisiana which was badly hit by the storm. half a million households in the affected region have asked for help. nearly 60,000 rohingya, the muslim minority in myanmar, have now fled the country after violence erupted a week ago. the united nations says scores of people are reported to have died since rohingya militants attacked poli

it's now been confirmed that lord bramall and lord brittan‘s widow have received compensation from the met. reports suggest as much as £100,000. the d—day veteran, speaking last year, questioned the way detectives handled the inquiry. i've never complained about being investigated. it was only the heavy—handed and the unintelligent way that they went about it. i mean, i think they could have said, well look,... if they'd taken any trouble to put their effort onto questioning the so—called victim, i think they would have found that it was very unlikely. it's thought former mp harvey proctor, also cleared of any wrongdoing, has yet to agree a settlement. the true cost of the failed 0peration midland is still being reckoned. angus crawford, bbc news. nearly 60,000 rohingya, the muslim minority in myanmar, have now fled the country after violence erupted a week ago. the united nations says scores of people are reported to have died since rohingya militants attacked police positions. subsequent clashes have sent civilians from all communities fleeing. sanjoy majumder has been to a re

the lords on friday. we had a by—election last year. i'll have to say this slowly because it's unbelievable, there was an electorate of three and there were seven candidates. i don't know of any electoral system anywhere on the planet or in history where you have twice as many candidates as they are electors. i have no doubt that 90% of peers in the house of lords would actively like to see this by—election system scrapped or at least are indifferent to its whole continuation. it was blocked last year by a handful, a very small number, of largely hereditary peers. that can't go on forever. they may think it can but you can only be canute for so long. it would be very nice if the government said, yes, this is an indefensible system, which they know it is, and we will give you full backing. the government is always able to say we have far more important things to do, which is true. this is a two—year session. mine is a two—clause bill. it would take a day maximum if people were sensible about it. it

it is thought lord bramall and lord brittan‘s family have received around £100,000 each in compensation from the police. i've never complained about being investigated. it was only the heavy—handed and the very unintelligent way that they went about it. i mean, i think they could have said... well, look, if they'd taken any trouble to put their effort onto questioning the so—called victim, i think they would have found that it was very unlikely. but harvey proctor has not settled. he lost hisjob and his home when he became embroiled in operation midland. negotiations between mr proctor‘s lawyers and the police continue. the man who made the original allegations is himself being investigated, to see whether he deliberately misled the police. tom symonds, bbc news, scotland yard. now on bbc news it's time for the travel show. this week on the show, we're on colombia's unspoilt island of providencia. but where are all the tourists? henry heads to turkey to try his hand at painting on water instead of canvas. it's going everywhere. great. is it ok? yes. plus — we're in a medieval ci

my lords, i disagree with the noble lord about the psychoactive substances act not working, because we have managed to close down over 300 retailers across the uk who sell psychoactive substances, and in 2016 there were 28 convictions in england and wales and seven people jailed under the new powers. additionally coming from manchester, i would have to disagree with the noble lord if he saw some of the sight that i have seen on the streets of manchester recently. the un changed the basis of global drug policy in april last year at their special session. we now know that banning drugs will never create a drug—free world. the un therefore wants nations to pursue evidence—based policies as the noble lord has mentioned, public health policies to reduce addiction and reduce the harms to our young people. my lords, the psychoactive substances bill runs counter to the evidence. it does nothing to reduce addiction. it increases the risks to young people. yes, the head shops were closed. they were the last vestige of any kind of protection for young people, pretty inadequate though it was.

lord king: it is tom:. for are the ramifications the elites of the nation and prime minister may if we break down to a new trade weighted weakness in pounds sterling? lord king: if you look at that chart you see an extraordinary period of sterling strength, and that i think was a mistake because it was a period in which we were building up consumer spending, debt was rising, and we were creating a large current account deficit. sterling strength was not sustainable and it had to fall, theid fall sharply in financial crisis to a level that gave us an opportunity to rebalance the u.k. economy. it rose sharply in 2014 and 2015 and has fallen back to where it was after the financial crisis. i do not think that is a significant downward mood. it is a recognition of reality that the u.k. economy has to spend less on itself and shift to exports and investment. tom: john lithgow just won an oscar for playing when chilled -- winston churchill. he would be screaming this is a valuation of the nation. is this a wealth
