boris johnson there a short time ago. more on this on bbc news at six coming up injust a few minutes. but before that i look at the we have a lot of sunshine today across the uk, quite different to yesterday when we had so many showers. now we have this low— pressure showers. now we have this low—pressure bringing some further rain through the course of this evening and tonight. but for many it isa dry evening and tonight. but for many it is a dry rush—hour and to the south and east it stays dry through the night. but wales getting some heavy downpours through the small hours. another mild might, temperatures in double figures for many, just a bit colder in the far north—east of scotland. wednesday morning we start with sunshine to the south and progressively through the day the drier weather pushes further north of the skies clearing, sunshine for wales and the north of england through the afternoon. more cloud around for northern ireland and parts of scotland and again temperatures favourable for the time of yea

boris johnson, amber rudd, who has just replaced support. boris johnson, amber rudd, who hasjust replaced esther mcvey, jeremy hunt, david davis, any mordant and dominic raab. i think this interview, as nigel hasjust said, is very much throwing the sort of any crumbs out. he says he is not submitting a letter of no confidence in theresa may, but has made it clear that he doesn't think she is standing up to brussels strong enough. this leadership issue is picked up in the sunday express. tory rebels make their move, big pictures of david davis and boris johnson. the line they are taking is the two of them are trained to work out who should be the brexit candidate. this, if we get dominic raab in there, it could be neither of them. i couldn't think of two people less likely to actually turn up... people less likely to actually turn . i people less likely to actually turn up... i think dominic raab has a better chance than the two have.” think you and i have a better chance! they know he is popular in the party, although, polling is showing h

i think that boris johnson's foreign secretary. i think that borisjohnson‘s credibility certainly with the general public and amongst the tory grassroots is actually falling. at eds as the mark. the implication from the poll you were talking about, is that people actually don't like this level of disloyalty. there is a recognition that theresa may, however bad you think the deal is, is actually doing a reasonable job and she is doing it with an enormous amount of grace and depression just on the work load a low. these grinning buffoons don't stand a chance. they don't seem very popular with tory mps either, it is unlikely that we get to the finishing line, to candidate to put before the tory membership. we should point out there is a long way to go before any of that does or doesn't happen. the mail on sunday has on their front page, an exclusive interview with lord lester tier found guilty page, an exclusive interview with lord lester tierfound guilty by page, an exclusive interview with lord lester tier found guilty by the hous

that is because she had pizza with boris johnson? pizza with andrea lets on. do we know what peter was served? nothing to italian —— andrea leadsome. i think perhaps if a few more people had been involved in some of these decisions, like on fixed betting machines, a few people might have warned mrs maher, he stood on the steps of downing street after he became prime minister and promised that you would take this policy to the poorest and most vulnerable people in society. if this isn't an example of very vulnerable people earning very damaged by an industry, then what is? you need to not drag your heels of this, and she has, and the chancellor has, and now successfully, philip hammond and theresa may have united remainers, brexiteers, saying they think this is wrong, and this could be the first government defeat on a budget measure in 30 years. it reminds me of the last days of the labour government. looking at the back of the times, you explain to us brilliantly, if i may say so, in the last paper review. can i ask you to do it again for those of us who w

one voice that is worth hearing in this concept that in a context is boris johnson. his father as is also a former member of the european parliament. here's what he makes of it all. not especially for any more. not in this particular case is that of enough there seems to be a co nflu e nce of enough there seems to be a confluence of opinion that we must not at any event go down the chambers. borisjohnson's not at any event go down the chambers. boris johnson's senior they're talking about the prime minister long—term vision of the withdrawal agreements. i it's also fairto point withdrawal agreements. i it's also fair to point out, we don't often hear from the parents or near relatives of resigning ministers, but this instance where mrjohnson senior is certainly a public figure himself, and a brief eight it's about the johnson brothers who himself, and a brief eight it's about thejohnson brothers who are in public life. we did not chase after him. he created the decision. it's ok you do not have to justify it to me. there has been talk today about how any deal that

we all suspect boris johnson will be here, don't we? and he is on the front of the daily telegraph, this column is being teased where he is being... typical borisisms, we are preparing to take colonial rule by foreign powers, and we should withhold at least half of the £39 billion. there are other lines as well. an extraordinary column. he is essentially saying we have to unpick the whole deal. quite where that would leave us, i don't know. exactly. let's turn to the ft, and we heard about this extension to the transition period. so i think taking us possibly years, 2020 two is the offer. this is michel barnier, the chief negotiator, saying let's add another year on, we don't have to hurry away, we will be happy to have you there. you will just be caught in this sort of limbo period, and you of course keep contributing, which from the eu's point of view, who can blame them? we area point of view, who can blame them? we are a huge net contributor to the eu. ithink we are a huge net contributor to the eu. i think we don't often talk enou

joe johnson boris johnson's brother who quit government last week because he wants a second referendum and we have these northern irish m.p.'s as well so it's very very difficult the two reason man at the moment very difficult for anyone to predict what is going to happen alex always a pleasure alex forrest whiting from vito you thank you so much. some of the other stories making headlines around the world today egypt turds. brokered a truce between israel and palestinian militants in gaza cross border violence flared up after an israeli raid in gaza over the weekend responded by firing hundreds of rockets into southern israel killing one and injuring dozens israel replied with airstrikes which left seven gazans dead. as parliament has passed a no confidence motion against newly appointed prime minister a month indra rajapakse throwing the country deeper into political crisis the move follows a decision by the country's talk or to suspend a presidential order to dissolve parliament and hold pressure elections. and germany's economy has contracted for the first time since two thousand a

is treason may present it is a titanic mistake just a couple of months ago boris johnson said we will make a titanic success. now he has really changed his tune and it's all bad for the reason may as we stand here today she does not have a majority in parliament for this deal she isn't even close to it ok thank you so much that was barbara faisal reporting for us from london. the united nations is marking the international day for the elimination of violence against women on sunday several thousand women marched in rome on the eve of the occasion they were called victims of violence demanded greater rights for women and charted slogans against the far right party activists in turkey are also gearing up for demonstrations on sunday just last month the european council warned ankara to do more to protect women and girls against domestic violence correspondent yulia han met one survivor. my name is one the nash can i was born in one thousand nine hundred six in istanbul i was always very strong. races me aged sixteen or seventeen with a friend we were very happy that day. to hand and loo

let's go with that scenario, a dup-backed avertly pro-brexit and boris johnson type government. the dup is socially not progressive, to put it mildly. it's been described as the political arm of the 17th century. its positions on various issues are not in tune with the larger public. that kind of scenario is also a constitutional breakdown scenario, isn't it? isn't that in support -- >> i do think it's an overstatement to say that we are in uncharted waters and we will be in even more uncharted waters in circumstances where parliament rejects all of the options. as i say, every one of the scenarios that we're describing, one is left slightly scratching one's head thinking the united kingdom couldn't get to that place, could it? in a few weeks we could be in exactly that place. >> isn't that theresa may's ultimate trump card with the brexiteers, that actually rather than their government being formed, we could have a general election and it could be corbyn who's the next prime minister, in which case it's either my deal, it's chequers or corbyn. and that's a more persuasive argum

johnson wasn't going to. get the competence of a fellow at peace to become leader of the party but i also think that the i think beyond the the issue of personalities i think what's been what's become very very aggressive negotiations is that while many of the representatives that have very strong ideas about what they don't want they haven't been very there about how to resolve some very key problems in the present negotiations one of which is how to avoid a hawk or two between northern ireland and the republic of ireland which everyone says they want to avoid. that required the problem of his about wife three the maids trying to keep the whole of the u.k. within their customs union post-process. because that will help avoid that whole border so you know i think you know that there were democrats in tears who were in those positions where they have but they were able to make a difference to these negotiations david davis was officially the chief reykjavik and chairs and he was like well i did recently in rec

johnson that we know two races force. i did reporting for us from london thank you very much. thank you. let's catch up on some other stories making news around the world sri lanka's political crisis has intensified after lawmakers voted out the country's newly appointed prime minister in a heated session the move follows a decision by the country's top court to suspend a presidential order to dissolve parliament and hold fresh elections the rajapaksa was appointed prime minister last month after the president kicked out his predecessor. u.s. vice president mike pence has told me and our leader aung san suu kyi there was no excuse for the violence that's caused hundreds of thousands of to flee her country and it was meetings hoochie on the sidelines of a regional summit he also pressed for the release of two jailed journalists. and egypt has brokered a truce between israel and palestinian militants in gaza cross border violence flared up after an israeli raid in gaza over the weekend palestinians responded by firing hundr

boris johnson, we just printed the story. boris johnson is saying the brakes of plan at the moment is the equipment to the titanic heading towards a doom. this is almost the worst of all scenarios, and iceberg waiting to happen. you come down on the debate? to spanish thanks blessings, there is an agreement. two,r two bank, here -- here comes the hard part, theresa may in parliament. they will not be happy. a deal will take place. it is probably not priced in by the market. yousef: where are we when it comes to the markets? westpac were saying 1.32 could be the next target over the weekend. where do you see it going now that they have made progress in the but still with the house of commons? >> there are many steps ahead. to look at what is the market pricing, you need to look at long exposures short domestic u.k. place, which are still doing well. on, theis trade is market is pressing on. with some reversal in terms of the trade, and obviously the other way to look at it is the myo-pound, which finally move, and some pound s

for his secretary boris johnson walked out of the cabinet just in sama also david davies who was seen again yossi to fraud for the u.k. walked out on her just because they didn't like the ideas that she had about how breaks it should be done and these are only two examples of that is in a division within her own party and each time it is some sort of rebellion from her own rose it will be more and more difficult for the prime is actually to game up against them. all right nicole reese in london thank you so much. thank you. just follow the directions to this deal that we still haven't actually seen yet let's get more on the british government reaction from the. honest alex forrest whites and welcome alex so what has been happening behind the scenes since the announcement of the deal was made last night well tourism is currently holed up in downing street with company ministers trying to thrash out an agreement with them she has already had one to one meetings with all of them last night on this morning because there are some key bricks it is within her own cabinet within those i minis

needs itself into a need to get out there are others and i would say boris johnson is a good example of an opportunist because actually you may remember a couple of years ago he wrote an article for one of the english newspapers the daily telegraph in which he said actually i'm i'm going to back brics it but it also written the other side which also goes out and said he wasn't even clear and he has taken the chosen the path to be a brick city and to lead from the front but i. i'm not convinced and just look at what happened to his brother who was in the government until two weeks ago jerry johnson he quits his government role saying that he not only opposes breck's it but he wants that to be a second referendum so even within boris johnson's own family it is very divided before we take a look at where it all goes from here let's take a look at the e.u. side in all of this alex just reminded us that the brics to tears say everything about the e.u. is wrong from the start the european union has made it clear that certain core e.u. principles like the link between free movement of goods

jo johnson, the former transport minister and boris johnson's brother, has resigned from the government, branding theresa may's brexit plan a terrible mistake, and calling for the public to have a fresh say on leaving the european union. the prime minister's alliance with the democratic unionist party is also under strain after it accused her of betrayal in the negotiations when a leaked letter indicated that northern ireland could follow different customs rules to the rest of the uk. the government has insisted it won't do anything to put the unity of the united kingdom at risk. more details from our political correspondent, alex forsyth. sorry about that, mind out. watch your back. "watch your back" — fateful words perhaps, uttered earlier this year by a man who's now delivered a blow to theresa may. jo johnson was until today the transport minister, but tonight, he quit hisjob, with a scathing assessment of the prime minister's brexit plan. crucially he called for another vote, saying the current proposal was deeply flawed. it's not going to deliver trade deals. our ability to stri

johnson the most sort of intimate political enemy off may to speak there and so she really set the scene and the sense to make it clear that she was not on the signed off the prime minister. british newspaper is of course also speculate they say they do you could be bought off again they could somehow get further advantages more money what ever it could be that entice them to vote for this breaks a deal but at the moment it looks as if they were digging their heels in we have two weeks we've mentioned that so a lot can change within two weeks but if that makes a complete turnaround that would be a surprise. all in foster who's going to have to make a turn and it's going to be plenty of other personalities we're going to have to me turn around from this day to pollutions is that what. potentially in the next two weeks or a possibility after maybe if the for the first vote is defeated in the u.k. parliament. it might even be a likely scenario that the first vote sort of votes the deal down particularly labor will say as a matter of principle because we absolutely are against the tories dea

the story takes us into the inside pages of the sun, page two, it goes on to talk about boris johnson the sun, page two, it goes on to talk about borisjohnson as well, asa. it also suggests, speaking of the tory beasts and their career plans, that boris has made clear that he is not writing off the chances of charging in to be party leader, mostly because the doctrine of his mind is that he wants to be in the mix for a cabinetjob. he is not the sort to enter the fray and come fourth or fifth. we saw this in 2016, actually, when micheal gove stabbed him in the back so much that he ends up not launching a leadership campaign. he teased everyone, we were waiting for it, and he decided it would not be me in this mate —— race. given the big beasts, they are in it, they want to win if they threw their hats in. i guess you had to realise that if you wa nt to guess you had to realise that if you want to be leader you have to have the courage to go for it in the end. it is indicative of the fact that borisjohnson, although it is indicative of the fact that boris johnson, although he it is

boris johnson now saying britain has a moral obligation. i think, to be fair, the italians abroad it offered her sanctuary, in some way has to be found to get her safely out of pakistan. there are huge problems with religious freedom all over the world, and to the bbc's credits of the coverage it has given to this issue is really welcome, because in all sorts of parts of particularly the middle east, christians are facing terrible persecution, and this one story of this very brave woman as i think brought it alive for people. of course it is perfectly possible that the uk government is in advanced talks, i don't know we just don't know, because it is too sensitive to the public. they cannot say they are in those talks, it may be that she arrives at heathrow, or at rome airport, or schiphol, and she is free, andi airport, or schiphol, and she is free, and i hope so, but renegotiations will inevitably be behind the scenes, but having we must be a country, we are a multicultural society of the wii must stand up for religious freedom of all peo

we were just hearing from boris johnson yesterday in belfast at the party conference for the democratic union party, which holds the keys to theresa may's government, boris johnson saying it's quote, a mistake. it's sentiments like that that is going to be very difficult for theresa may to overcome in the days leading up to the parliamentary vote. >> eren live for us in brussels, thank you. and we'll have more from eren at the bottom of the hour. again, what's next for brexit. leaders of the 27 countries will officially approve or reject the brexit deal, a deal that's been negotiated for a year and a half and if approved it then goes to the british parliament where theresa may does not command a majority. it's uncertain whether lawmakers there will green light the deal or send it back, send everyone back to the drawing board. if lawmakers agree to it, the european parliament will then decide whether to give it its blessing. the eu is set to leave in march 29th of next year. >> earlier british prime minister theresa may tweeted an open letter explaining brexit, and this is what she said.

stay in the eu alex you say you as a our core brexiteers whether it's boris johnson or the others that were who we saw in the piece. as essentially acting on some sort of personal opportunistic basis is that right or is it too simple i'd say that some of them genuinely. believe that everything about the e. u. is wrong and they are ideologically opposed to it and i can. name various ministers who i have spoken to a with the years who really really dislike the e. u. and think that. the uk needs at seventy but i need to get out there are others and i would say boris johnson is a good example of an opportunist because actually. you may remember a couple of years ago he writes an article it for one of the english newspapers that the daily telegraph. in which he said actually i'm i'm going to back brexi. also within the other side which also goes out and he wasn't even play and he has taken the potatoes in the pot to be a brexiteers and to lead from the front but actually. i'm not convincing just look what happened to his brother he was in the government's until two weeks ago joe johnson he

the former foreign secretary, boris johnson is due to address the conference in the next half hour. speaking ahead of that mrjohnson called on the government and the eu to get rid of the irish backstop. the best thing we can do isjump the backstop and get both sides to ee, backstop and get both sides to agree, which they both do agree, that there is no need through our border in northern ireland. the commission doesn't want it, or the technical experts say that there is no need to have it, and then take that discussion out of the withdrawal agreement and put it for the negotiations that are going to ta ke the negotiations that are going to take place over the next couple of yea rs, take place over the next couple of years, which is where it belongs, and that is the way forward. separately, you agree to do a big free—trade agreement and both sides need to do that, and i think what we should also do, to encourage progress towards that free—trade agreement, we need the uk government to say now, that £39 billion, we are not handing it over until the talks at the end of 2020, when w

johnson has been writing again this morning in the challenge graph and saying we are bowing our next to the dictate of the european union dramatic language there so they are not stopping with as they are carrying on with their constant attacks against the prime minister if you look at the newspapers this morning we see the independent here they show nine contenders for to reason may's office starting with boris johnson and experts of minister david davis and so on and so forth it seems pretty much everybody in westminster things he could be of better prime minister then treason may already garrick let's come to you in brussels now the british prime minister says these next seven days of negotiations with the e.u. will be critical but is that you really willing to renegotiate anything at this point. look i mean there are two parts of this agreement there is one part which is the divorce part of the agreement and there's the future part of much smaller part but legally non-binding part one has to say but it looks towards the future economic relationship that the e.u. could have that is

we heard from boris johnson call the deal a historic mistake. members of her own party speaking out saying they will not vote for this deal. wave heard from the labor party as well as the democratic unionist party saying she won't vote for this deal. there are lots of questions now as theresa may moves forward with this historic agreement and whether or not she can get it through parliament. it's looking highly unlikely. and if that does not happen, it is an open question, pretty much anyone to guess at this point at what will happen next. >> eren, live in brussels, thank you for the reporting. >>> so here's what's next for brexit as it stands now. it now goes to the british parliament where theresa may does not command a majority. no one knows whether lawmakers in the u.k. will ultimately green light this deal or send everyone back to the drawing board. if british lawmakers agree to it the european parliament would then decide whether to give its blessing. whatever happens britain is set to leave the european union march 29th next year. earlier

be honest and say it is boris johnson, dominic raab...? sorry, but actually, people have to come forward , actually, people have to come forward, they have to say they want to thejob, forward, they have to say they want to the job, and forward, they have to say they want to thejob, and then forward, they have to say they want to the job, and then the choice will come on a ballot paper, injust to the job, and then the choice will come on a ballot paper, in just the same way as my constituents have a choice of who to vote for when they vote for me in a general election. ifi vote for me in a general election. if i gave you a name now, that person might turn around and say, but i don't want to do the job. let's ta ke but i don't want to do the job. let's take it one step at a time. i will look at the candidates when they come forward, if there is a leadership election triggered, and then i will decide, and i will certainly come back and tell you then who i am going to support. isn't the truth that the deal the prime minister has negotiated, fo

we've already got boris johnson there are also many of these. former secretaries former ministers who are now pushing their you know putting their names forward it looks like to say that if something comes up they will be ready to stand against us i wouldn't be surprised if it is some of those names. theresa may you know embattled as you're saying do you think we're going to see a movement on whether she can sustain her position within the day. we could certainly find out about those letters i don't think that what we sent you won't get a new prime minister today because they have to then decide when to hold vote it does have to happen very quickly but i think to get it all done in one day is going to be pretty difficult but obviously she must be feeling very nervous at the moment she's a supposed to be about to make this statement to the commons and yet she's got her cabinet members of her cabinet walking away and saying that they can't and this is after that those five hours of talks she made it very clear that it has been tough we think about

the mother has a picture of boris johnson and his father having dinner, and atthze same restaurant, dinner, and at the same restaurant, nigel farage. the guardian steers away from brexit, highlighting a un report saying millions of people are suffering from austerity. what a time to be a political journalist. you cannot get on a train and lose your signal for a second. it has been a fascinating week and you cannot predict what will happen next, it has been a privilege to be in westminster. it has been interesting, the tall, each day, different pea ks has been interesting, the tall, each day, different peaks and troughs, just when you think things are going quiet, amber rudd is brought in, and she has appointed a brexit secretary that does not seem that he will be a brexit secretary because theresa may will continue to hold all the power in that role. who knows what'll happen over the the times, she has brought back amber rudd. she has surrounded herself with the wagons. these are her old mates, faithful people. stephen barclay. he was a lever. a figurehead if nothing else. he isa lever. a

boris johnson spent a paralysed quite a bit the country. borisjohnson spent a lot of money on water cannon and then couldn't use it. particularly where protesters singled out the police. he says there is no room for this violence in the republic. he is in no mood to back down, the president. this is a very serious test. a very difficult one. the sunday telegraph, long school reports are burdensome to teachers. i don't know. a lot of pa rents to teachers. i don't know. a lot of parents like to get that report. he preferred to get the name of your child right. you suspect it's been copied and pasted. the only thing i would admit to an air is i went through my school reports, and i have to say, i read them all. my mother was doing some clearing out. what is extraordinary, i must admit, there were some things about, certain subjects, which is actually become true. to do with journalism, at cetera. the teachers have spotted at cetera. the teachers have spotted a few things. it says there is limited evidence that the benefits of progress reports.

johnson speaking somebody who's leading the criticism against series m a and had dia so the noises that we hear from that side is that they they remain very very critical over the issue of northern ireland and the separate status and their point of view that no that island will have in the future and that's what they're not happy about and then the other pressure like marks mentioned that being yes tackling here in the u.k. on trees i mean it's fisheries so there are lots of fishing lobbies and it's a hugely symbolic subject here in the u.k. there are the fishermen the scottish conservative party as well who are very vocal on this they do they want more rights not less for u.k. fishermen so if this is another contentious issue issue and there was draw agreement well that reflects this well here in the discussion in the debate here in the u.k. so the u.k. remains divided house marks what's the view from brussels on means johnson is going to sum it up in one word bad they agree of course with the assessment of budget just explained here but what are they to do the european union has won t
