jeremy corbyn declaring mrs may's checkers plan dead echoed by the snp and mrs may insisting she is still working towards a deal in october and again categorically ruling out a second referendum. what are we to make of it all? let's talk it through with the conservative maria caldwell,. this is one of the few as this is for you agreed with jeremy corbyn that checkers is dead and you designed over the issue. jeremy corbyn that checkers is dead and you designed over the issuelj cannot and you designed over the issue.|j cannot see how it will get through parliament and that is not actually deal coming before us, it could be watered down further. brexiteers will not support it, able will not support it so i do not see how the numbers stack up and the eu themselves said they think checkers as dead as well and want to go see it on as dead as well and want to go see itona as dead as well and want to go see it on a free—trade agreements would need to get on with that and checkers as not that deal. if checkers as not that deal. if checkers is dead so as mrs may's premiership. this is aboutjudgin

mrs may, too. they are moving towards each other and if they can strike a deal, it is possible you could get a withdrawal agreement done and dusted by the end of the year. the problem then is, can you get it through parliament? there are, the signs are pretty grim for mrs may because we know there is a solid block of tory mps, notjust know there is a solid block of tory mps, not just former brexiteers know there is a solid block of tory mps, notjust former brexiteers but a growing number of former people —— former remain supporting mps who think chequers is not a runner because it is far too much power in the hands of the eu. even if mrs may manages to convince the eu to go ahead with the deal, it is very hard to see how she will get it through parliament. before the days of brexit, we would normally be talking about the domestic agenda ahead of oui’ about the domestic agenda ahead of our party conference. will we hear much about crime, education, the nhs, this week? i'm sure there will be an

mrs may says she brings both sides need to compromise if a deal is to be reached. eu leaders have agreed with her but there is no sign they will do that here at this summit. they are not changing their approach, not for now. instead, the eu is standing by ireland, insisting a backstop guaranteed to avoid any new land border is a must. saying the uk has not proposed a legally workable alternative. regarding the irish border, it was in march and it was endorsed by the 27 members. we need to find collectively, and we need to find collectively, and we need a uk proposal precisely preserving this backstop in the framework of a withdrawal agreement. design of that agreement with the uk, the eu leaders have now set a new target date. a special summit in november. so here in the shadow of salisbury‘s famous castle, it seems theresa may has not been able to breach the eu's unity —— salzburg. there are heading for a final, tends endgame. in a moment we'll hear from our assistant political editor norman smith at westminster, but first to damian in salzburg. the future o

so you think mrs may...? in politics, careers normally win. so you think mrs may. . . ? this is the first of three big negotiations, let's not overplay salzburg, we will go on from here to the 18th of october in brussels and then there will be a special summit in the middle of november. i've been to about 100 european summits over my yea rs about 100 european summits over my years as an mvp. the only deals that ever happen are about... absolutely just cornish pasties, parma ham and champagne, all familiar brands which could be possible obstacles to britain's smooth departure from the eu. the place where a product is made can be a very valuable part of the brand, and the eu wants that protected, after brexit. adam fleming reports from one of europe's most famous wine—making regions. if you've celebrated anything recently with a bottle of fizz, and it was champagne, it was produced in this region of france, which has become a battleground in the brexit talks. it's over the eu's system of geographical indications, gis, which protect products that have a link to a particul

strong words from mrs may. what's the reaction been from the eu? well, basically, eu politicians and diplomats don't recognise, they say, the depiction in the uk media and political circles of the salzburg summit. they say that their objections to key points of the prime minister's brexit chequers proposal was well known before the summit. so they don't see why there we re summit. so they don't see why there were such surprise. the prime minister, in her statement today, singled out donald tusk. he is the president of the european council and he mentioned parts of her proposal as unworkable. but he said, today, that the prime minister was surprisingly tough and uncompromising, those are his words, before the summit and during the summit. in fact, before the summit and during the summit. infact, leaders before the summit and during the summit. in fact, leaders have pointed very much to her tone of "my deal or no deal" to all 27 leaders tonight. mr donald tusk said to me yesterday brexit negotiations are very tough and there's no point pretending oth

times says, to further embarrass mrs maym conference, the times says, to further embarrass mrs may. if you have a free—trade deal it will not solve the irish border and the erg's suppose it proposal for the irish border does not give you a frictionless border. you still have a problem with the good friday agreement, the problem of this danger for one of the countries in the united kingdom and the conservative and unionist party does need to take account of the requirements for peace in northern ireland and on the island of ireland. at the moment, we are in this position where the government has come up with something that might work if the eu could accept it and they can't accept it because it violates the basic rules. there is nothing else on the table. we don't wa nt nothing else on the table. we don't want no deal. parliament won't vote for no deal. so we are reaching an impasse and so we have to find some other potential way forward. the daily mail, david, we are ready to walk away. this is clearly the message to the eu. ok, you have played hardball, message to the eu. ok, you

it seems the best mrs may can hope forfrom her it seems the best mrs may can hope for from her triple it seems the best mrs may can hope forfrom her triple for to it seems the best mrs may can hope for from her triple for to the edge of the alps is some warm words. eu leaders will not negotiate with her, they will not change their position towards the talks, and they will not instruct mr barnier to compromise at this stage. instead they will do the opposite, and see the uk has to agree a solution to the irish border if it wants an exit treaty. and that means the coming weeks will see fraught and difficult discussions if a deal is to be settled. and so it is that issue of the irish border that remains to be solved. without that, as david davis was saying, that, as david davis was saying, that cliff edge is approaching. bacteria. studio: thank you, damian grammaticas live in salzburg. our assistant political editor, norman smith, is in westminster. no firm declaration is expected after tonight's summit, but what do you think the reception could well be for theresa may and her brexit pla

mrs may might have to go, so an immediate tory battle for number ten. supporters of an eu referendum are hoping deadlock could lead to what they're calling people's vote and mrs may and brexiteers say would be a betrayal of democracy. the labour leader is not convinced it could ignite fury among brexit supporters and as for reversing brexit, the cries of betrayal would be deafening. but some mps on both sides are hoping for even that. this row has the capacity to split the tory party and labour too. and who knows, deadlock and crisis could conceivably lead to an early general election. brexit is the biggest question facing britain since world war ii. if no clear way through is found, you might just end where it started — with the people. john pienaar, bbc news, westminster. you can find all of our pieces from this week looking at the key questions about brexit online. go to the bbc iplayer and click on news, then scroll down. that's it from us for this evening. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. bye— bye. hello and welcome to spor

it follows a weekend of renewed infighting among conservatives, after boris johnson compared mrs may's strategy to a "suicide vest". our political correspondent, chris mason, reports. that monday morning feeling, rolling up that monday morning feeling, rolling up at work and the weekend instantly a distant memory. as the prime minister arrived in downing street, around the corner, one backbench battle for brexit, a former minister, was claiming: there are almost 80 colleagues already who are willing to vote in the house of commons to protest the chequered deal. it is not leaving the eu properly. and it's notjust mr baker. this man, a former conservative leader, is turning up the volume again. if the whole idea from the downing street unit is that we are going to attack and lash out at everybody, it will be like the old days when we have the maastricht debates, when we ended up plunging out of government. so what is the government's checkers plant, its brexit blueprint? it would involve a common rule book for all goods trade with the eu, a so—called facilitated customs arrangements to

more interesting are the people around mrs may still in cabinet, people like sajid javid, jeremy hunt. what to watch with them is if they miraculously don't start talking about chequers at all, if it becomes about chequers at all, if it becomes a word they cannot mention and they drop it from conversation and whether they begin to try and create a bit of space for mrs may to start shuffling away from it. we already know thatjeremy shuffling away from it. we already know that jeremy hunt shuffling away from it. we already know thatjeremy hunt in our interview before the conference did not rule out the possibility of a canada not rule out the possibility of a ca na da style not rule out the possibility of a canada style trade deal. what is interesting if you get more members of the cabinet beginning to give house room to an alternative to chequers, then you can begin to see them trying to shuffle mrs may away from this unbending commitment to chequers and i think that will be the real thing to watch at this conference rather than, if you like, some of the headline grabbing antics of bor

mrs may says she wa nts circumstances. mrs may says she wants no new customs or other checks here. they wouldn't be needed if the uk quits the eu but stays in its single market and customs union. but mrs may says leaving those as well isa mrs may says leaving those as well is a red line for her. it wouldn't be delivering on brexit. the border is this stream here... this family have farmed here for six generations. there fields stretch both sides of the border. these are both sides of the border. these are both your fields. these are both minefields. ireland will have the uk's only land border with the eu, and a busy one. 30% of milk from the north goes out to be processed. 50% of lamb does as well, and from the south comes 25% of beef used in the north. the eu's proposal is that, if any checks are needed, they won't happen along the line between northern ireland and ireland, but between it and the uk. northern ireland staying under most of the eu's single market and customs rules. but for theresa may and northern ireland's democratic unionists, who support her in parliament, any ne

in other words, there are six locks on the labour support for mrs may. the consequent on that, i would suggest, is the risk of no deal goes up markedly. because it becomes increasingly hard to see how the prime minister can expect to get any deal through parliament given we know there is a fairly solid block of tory brexiteers determined to vote against may. now sir keir starmer saying, no ifs, vote against may. now sir keir starmersaying, no ifs, no vote against may. now sir keir starmer saying, no ifs, no buts, labour almost certain to vote against her. so joining it all up, and seeing how events can potentially unfold from here, there was speculation over the weekend that the tory party may be goering up that the tory party may be goering upfora snap that the tory party may be goering up for a snap election in november, —— gearing up, labour saying they wa nt —— gearing up, labour saying they want there to the election and if there is not, first shout is parliament to get a vote. does this increasingly look like we will get that end point wher

get rid of mrs may. what there is, though, is a view that they're going to have to come up with a plan b if plan a doesn't work. that would be to try to get mrs may to change her mind and klopp jackers to try to get mrs may to change her mind and kloppjackers but what do you do if she doesn't blink7 and some of them are beginning to think, if mrs may won't get rid of chequers, maybe we are going to have to get rid of her. but even then they face huge hurdles, not least of which, they don't have an obvious candidate, many love boris johnson, many loathe him. they have deep divisions within their own ranks, they risk a backlash from tory activists, they could plunge the government into chaos. as michael gove observed this morning, leadership contests tend to be a bit like the british weather, you just have to throw them off. however, like the british weather, as we know, it can be pretty changeable, too. our ireland correspondent emma vardy is in belfast. what are you hearing about the response to these pr

a loss of this is not a particularly good news for mrs may. it does not augur well for her conference in nine days time. but the labour party might well be asking, hang on a second, this was supposed to be our weekend. this piece by oliver wright, what it goes into is the story of yesterday and how went so wrong. there is lovely detail for the reader, probably less lovely for theresa may, where he talks about when the eu 27, the other leaders, went into their lunch to discuss brexit, she had the same lunch, but on her own in her room as room service. it shows, really, and there were pictures yesterday, many viewers will remember them, the line of suits and ben—hur in her redcoat, there has been so much imagery representing britain's isolation —— and ben—hur. she came back with a speech today which showed she would fight back against that image. it has possibly gone some way to resolving that is in view of the domestic audience, whether there was much that happened today, the brutal details in this piece, i'm not sure that has been. one

to them, every bad day for mrs may is an opportunity to make it worse if they can. the prime minister's negotiating strategy is collapsing around her. and now the country is staring down the barrel of no deal. the prime minister's chequers proposal was never going to be accepted, either in the eu or by her own party. so, she is in denial. and simply repeating the mantra that nothing has changed isn't going to convince anyone. the prime minister's back in her berkshire constituency. it won't count as an escape, she couldn't get away from her troubles over brexit if she tried. john pienaar, bbc news. the bbc‘s europe editor katya adler has more on the reaction from the eu. well, there has been no official eu reaction directly to her speech. it is seen very much in eu circles as an attempt to bolster her political position at home because she really looked rather weak at the end of the salzburg summit yesterday. so it is seen in those circles very much in that context. off the record, eu diplomats say that those who have been working directly with their uk counterpar

he said stop it, it is just against mrs may? he said stop it, it isjust stupid. against mrs may? he said stop it, it is just stupid. yes. what against mrs may? he said stop it, it isjust stupid. yes. what would you say to those continuing to talk about getting rid of mrs may? every time you open your mouth and talk about the leadership, you distract the public and the media from the issues that we need to be discussing with the government. we want the government to change its policy, not its leader. and what word would you use to describe the prime minister? jacob rees—mogg yesterday described her as dutiful. what would be your adjective? i think she is devoted to public service. i think she is personally a person of great principle, and i hugely admire her courage and tenacity. the eid -- the idea is that you have made about the irish border have been knocking around for a couple of years and have been rejected. do you accept that mrs may has already looked at those options? she looked at those options but she took no for an a nswer very options but she took no for an answer v

mrs may might have to go, so an immediate tory battle for number ten. supporters of an eu referendum are hoping deadlock could lead to what they're calling a people's vote and mrs may and brexiteers say would be a betrayal of democracy. the labour leader's not convinced. it could ignite fury among brexit supporters and as for reversing brexit? the cries of betrayal would be deafening. but some mps on both sides are hoping for even that. this row has the capacity to split the tory party and labour, too. and who knows, deadlock and crisis could conceivably lead to an early general election. brexit‘s the biggest question facing britain since world war ii. if no clear way through is found, it mightjust end where it started, with the people. john pienaar, bbc news, westminster. the leader of ukip has addressed the party conference in birmingham, calling for a "clean exit" from the european union. gerard batten also said it's time to stand up for free speech — against what he described as the "politically correct thought police". mrs may and her cross—p

he is not the only one urging mrs may to change tack, because... that, and it doesn't bring back control of borders. but the prime minister is defiant. a success of brexit for the future. than the others here. chris mason, bbc news, in birmingham. is at the conservative conference in birmingham for us. what do you think theresa may's principal challenge is this week? principal challenge is this week? it getting to the end of it unscathed? unscathed? out of her leadership and brexit plan. plan. brexit proposal, they view it as unacceptable. unacceptable. deal mrs may is proposing is simply unacceptable. unacceptable. actually inflicts on the prime minister herself. minister herself. continue, if her chequers plan is so badly more. badly more. but remember what i said before, but i am in favour of a canada deal. i am in favour of a canada deal. the stakes are enormous for theresa may. stakes are enormous for theresa may. but still on the table as her plan a. a. issues this afternoon, jeremy hunt is speaking later. is speaking later. what is the message from him? message from him? of the in

mrs may says she wants no new customs or other checks here. they wouldn't be needed if the uk quits the eu but stays in its single market and customs union. but mrs may says leaving those, too, is a red line for her — it wouldn't be delivering on brexit. the border is this stream here... this family have farmed here for six generations. their fields stretch both sides of the border. between the republic of ireland and the uk, the united kingdom. these are both your fields. these are both my fields. ireland will have the uk's only land border with the eu, and a busy one. 30% of milk from the north goes out to be processed, 50% of lamb does too, and from the south comes 25% of beef used in the north. the eu's proposal is that if any checks are needed, they won't happen along the line between northern ireland and ireland, but between it and the uk, northern ireland staying under most of the eu's single market and customs rules. but for theresa may and northern ireland's democratic unionists, who support her in parliament, any new border within

writing in a sunday newspaper, ahead of mps returning to parliament this week, mrs may said she would not betray those who voted to leave in referendum two years ago. here's our political correspondent, susana mendonca. she's shown us her moves can be unpredictable, but when it comes to the prospect of a second referendum, theresa may is standing firm and sticking to her tune. the prime minister told the sunday telegraph that two years ago, millions came out to have their say and to ask the question all over again would be a gross betrayal of our democracy. when it comes to her brexit blueprint forged at chequers, mrs may insisted she wouldn't be pushed into accepting compromises that were not in the national interest. but her former brexit secretary, who resigned over chequers, said he will vote against it and that her words leave the way open for compromise. except in the national interest. i mean, your commentators earlier were exactly right. that is an incredible sort of open sesame. you're not going to turn around in the house of commons and say "i agreed this, but it wasn't in t

they say hope that the drafts will help mrs may to survive. we are in a situation where it is all about the prime minister's survival. it is no way to negotiate future. this is what negotiations are light. you say no, no, no, i will go on in some form or another. i can't understand, i really can't. i know it is obviously incredibly complicated. we are on picking an extraordinary complicated jumper. nevertheless, i can't understand why it's taken nevertheless, i can't understand why it's ta ken until nevertheless, i can't understand why it's taken until now to address this issue. because there are so many different opinions, aren't there, about what wrecks it is. -- brexit. yes, it is about negotiations but they have talked about this ritual is -- they have talked about this ritual is —— frictionless border. why is it only being told about now? maybe it has the time the scenes. —— behind the scenes. the telegraph — may's irish brexit plan is a disaster, warns boris. this is about remaining in the customs union to avoid a hard border.

mrs may backing down. have a listen to the brexit ministerlj mrs may backing down. have a listen to the brexit minister. i think it delivers on the referendum result, it takes control of our money and laws and borders. but it is a compromise, it we‘re constantly asked what you want. we have given them a proposal. it involves some difficult compromises from their point of view as well. we‘re waiting forformal reaction point of view as well. we‘re waiting for formal reaction but i am content that it delivers on the referendum result. we seem to be heading towards an inevitable showdown between the anti—chequers tories and mrs may‘s supporters, probably at the party conference in three weeks‘ time because all the indications are that mrs may is determined to press on with chequers, notjust because she regards as the only deal which means the issue of the northern ireland border but is also the only deal that will be sellable to the eu and the deal that she believes will minimise the disruption to british business. but on top of that there isa business. but

with a tricky party conference looming, mrs may is being buffeted from all sides. even some brexit supporting mps are demanding a change of tack, which means she'll need powerful words to win support for sticking with her chosen plan, so what should she say? we are not going to be able to get anything we want, and neither will the other side, she needs to be very clear about that. and that is why chequers is the right thing to do. she needs to move beyond brexit and explain what the country is going to look like beyond the process because that's what the country want to hear. solving the northern ireland border issue could prove key to this and the government says it's working on new proposal. but theresa may says any deal cannot divide the province into a separate customs zone from the uk. the eu says it will not accept at solution which unravels its precious single market so right now the negotiations seem deadlocked. on the eve of his party's conference, the labour leader jeremy corbyn has vowed to put equality at centre stage, with a commitment to measure all p

how to unseat mrs may and put boris in the top job. how exactly they will get the support that they need for such a move is unclear, however i wonder if they are a small group that feels because they all believe this must happen, they all believe boris must be in number ten thus it will happen. but the mechanics of removing a leader are much more complex. they need 48 mps to sign up toa complex. they need 48 mps to sign up to a vote of no—confidence and that isa to a vote of no—confidence and that is a lot. they are saying in this piece they have that, 48 people, it's the first i've heard anyone claim that. they are also saying that boris is social life is not a factor. i don't know if you agree or disagree, but it doesn't... john's past social life and his philander rings and his anti—social behaviour or inappropriate behaviour doesn't seem to have harmed him too much. all the opinion polls don't seem to have dented his popularity. and in some ways, and i will probably be land mass is this, boris behaves like a pound shop trump,

but mrs may says leaving those, too, is a red line for her. it wouldn't be delivering on brexit. the border is this stream here. the renahans have farmed here for six generations. their fields stretch over both sides of the border. the neath the republic burden and the uk. these are both your feels? both our fields. ireland will have the uk's only land border with eu and a busy one. 30% of milk from the north goes south to be processed. 50% of lamb does, too and from the south comes 25% of beef used in the north. the eu's proposal is that if any checks are needed, they will not happen along the line between northern ireland and ireland, but in the uk. northern ireland staying under most of the eu's single market and customs rules. but for theresa may and northern ireland's democratic unionists, who support her in parliament, any new border within the uk is unacceptable. however, the uk government has not put forward any alternative legal text to the eu's version. that is the only one in the negotiations. mrs may hopes a future trade deal, built around the chequers plan, will make

we know that they are almost certain to vote against any deal mrs may reaches if she manages to get an agreement. two, in that eventuality the most likely next step is that labour woods campaign for another referendum and on the ballot paper, would there be the option of staying in the eu? that stance earned sir keir huge applause in the hall and it is clear that many ordinary labour party members want a referendum and want to reverse brexit. but it is a strategy with enormous risks. already we are hearing from the brexit supporting labour voices saying the party risks being seen as the party of remain, haemorrhaging support from traditional brexit supporting constituencies. but there is also another serious risk that labour will significantly increase the likelihood of no deal, precisely what they want to avoid. because mrs may has been absolutely clear if a deal is voted down, then the only other option is to leave the eu without any agreement. this was a high—stakes without any agreement. this was a high—sta kes speech which without any agreement. this was a high—stakes speech

do you think mrs may can hang on until brexit is complete? it's like the three stooges trying to get through the door at the same time and nobody can and that's what it's like that these people opposed to the brexit plan. borisjohnson wants people opposed to the brexit plan. boris johnson wants a high brexit, nick boles wants a soft brexit. he isa nick boles wants a soft brexit. he is a conservative backbencher who you would expect to support mrs may and her plan. the idea was to get some of the remainers behind it and it seemed that anna soubry was opposed to brexit and have supported it but that seems to be falling away now. the fact they are so split and there is no unified plan they could all get behind this is the worst of all get behind this is the worst of all worlds but they can't agree on the alternatives. do you think mrs may is going to be challenged for the leadership over the next few months? i think it could happen. things are sophie brown at the moment, no 10's nick hope was everybody would come down over the summer but that ha

colleagues calling for mrs may to be ousted 7 —— colleagues calling for mrs may to be ousted? —— i think it is no surprise that people are not universally happy with the state brexit at the moment but there no consensus in that direction whatsoever. think me to change the ball and not the manticore is a phrase. let's talk universal credit. we had jeremy corbyn same look, the national farmers union, gingerbread, the world and his wife have been critical of universal credit. is it not time to think again?|j critical of universal credit. is it not time to think again? i think we have debated this to death in the chamber over the last 12 months or more, pretty much everybody in the house agrees with the principles of universal credit that were laid out and that it is wrong for people to be in and that it is wrong for people to beina and that it is wrong for people to be in a scenario where they lose money by taking on work or a job and thatis money by taking on work or a job and that is where we are now. so there is no question that universal credit is no question that univers

may's ouster which has really put the party in a vulnerable position now whether mrs may will be able to face down these ahead of the party conference which will happen later on in few weeks time is another matter altogether certainly there is a lot of. battles that are happening within there and mrs may will really have to hold on to that as hard as she can if she's able to push through her deal absolutely ok thanks very much for the update from downing street. so to has had on al-jazeera unfun suchi admits the range of crisis could have been better handled but defends the taming of voices journalists and men mock. and israel makes his fastball right now a palestinian van is slated for demolition. however still got some rather heavy right into the central and southern parts of japan where the systems continue to drive their way from the east china sea yellow sea across the korean peninsula into cuba and into honshu and there will be more heavy rain there for a good part of honshu as because through friday some heavy downpours there to tokyo temperatures around twenty four degrees cel

may was going as far as to say mrs may was just doing her job and they understood why she was putting across what she was putting across when it came to what's being called the check is deal to reason may's preferred way that britain would leave the european union said it's a good start but it's just not well it's not acceptable to the european side did say that compromises from both sides had to be made to try and find a solution but there were some areas that the european side wouldn't compromise on that when they were things that would impede upon the fundamental freedoms of the european union things like freedom of movement also things that would allow essentially the u.k. access to the single market without actually being part of the single market junkfood youngcare added a little bit more on this he said that time was running out for a deal they're hoping to have one in place by october but he did say that in the case of a no deal breaker that the european commission had plans in place for every possible common dinge and he didn't go any further than that and he said it wasn't b

mrs. may and brexiteers say it would be a betrayal of democracy. th convinced it could ignite fury among brexit supporters, and as f reversing brexit, the cries of betrayal would be deafening. eme mp's on both side hoping for even that. this could split the tory party knows,or,oo, and who deadlock a crisis could lead to an early general election. if no clear way through gh found, it miend up where it started, with the people. laura: so many questions still on brexit. it is one year since hurricane maria devastated puerto rico and one week since hurricane florence blew ashore in north carolina, causing catastrophic flooding which isn't over yet. in both cases, volunteers have rushed in to help, among them chef jose andres, who served more than 3 million meals in puerto rico. now he is feeding people in the carolinas. w he htten a book about his past year called "we fed an island," and he joined me a short time ago. josÉ andres, how did you manage to mobilize this army of chefs in such a short time and feed 100,000 people a day in puerto rico? josÉ

mrs and mr may might have sympathy for quiz contestants, but how much understanding can she expect as she approaches a defining few months? determined to persuade us the deal she hopes to forge with the european union is the obvious choice. they have mixtures of questions. i believe we'll get a good deal, we'll bring that back from the european... from the eu negotiations and put that to parliament. i think that the alternative to that would be not having a deal, because i don't think there will be... a, i don't think the negotiations would have that deal, and, b, we're leaving on the 29th of march 2019. it was in the grandeur of her country home, chequers, that she signed the cabinet up to her plan for negotiation — a compromise that's anything but comfortable for many tories, where parts of the economy would stay closely tied to the european union. the claim, that it's her way or no way, roundly rejected by some brexiteers. their cheerleader in chief, who quit over the plan, will not go quietly. much of the point of brexit is nullified. you know, you're not really achieving... you

this week, the cabinet will get back around the table and mrs may will embark on the final stretch before a deal with the eu does or doesn't get done. it's bound to be a tough road ahead. susanna mendonca, bbc news. new figures show hundreds of prison staff have been caught smuggling drugs, weapons and other banned items into jails in england and wales over the last six year. the figures, obtained through a freedom of information request by the observer newspaper, show a 50% increase since 2012. ben ando reports. drugs, mobile phones, weapons, tobacco, all considered contraband in prison. friends and drones used to be to blame but figures from the ministry ofjustice show that in the last six years the number of prison officers taking contra band last six years the number of prison officers taking contraband into prisons in england and wales has gone up by nearly a half. the figures show that in 2012, 45 prison staff were caught smuggling. but five years later, in 2017, that figure had gone up to 71. and the number of drug finds has trebled, now running at an average of 35 every day. despi

and mrs may takes the advice, says this. she said, "i have always said no deal is better than a bad deal", and then in respect of this sort of canada plus notion, she said "i think a bad deal would be any deal that broke up the uk", and she thinks the canada plus deal would of necessity break up, threaten to break up the united kingdom. well, i have explained to you why it wouldn't. my point is simply that — i began by referring to these deep divisions within the conservative party, this is an unbridgeable gap and mrs may has a belief which tells her that what you want to see it seems, a canada plus deal, is absolutely off the table. we began this discussion — you're asking me what alternatives the prime minister had if chequers was not accepted by the eu 27, and i answered that question. i have identified an option that she would have if there continues to be an impasse on the chequers agreement. i would prefer it over the the chequers agreement. you would prefer the canada plus to the chequers agreement? yes, i would.
