means that theresa may is now heading to brussels. and they are saying that the eu turns the table on theresa may. and what they mean is that they can have a delayed departure if they get a deal through parliament next week so this puts the pressure back on theresa may to make that decision. and if, the implication, if this doesn't all is not passed next week then it could bea no not passed next week then it could be a no deal brexit. theresa last night was blaming mps for everything and talking about the fact that she is with the public on this. do you think that did anything to assuage worries that you may have had? no. and if you go to the next story i think you see a reaction to that because while i think she is correct in picking up the mood of many people, many are exhausted and blaming mps and the prime minister for the mess that we have in terms of brexit. but for her to say it is not my fault, this is the fault of mps...i not my fault, this is the fault of mps... ithink not my fault, this is the fault of mps... i think that may have backfired because many people think that sh

the guardian, an appeal from theresa welcome back. the front page of the guardian, an appealfrom theresa may and the eu seizes control of the brexit debate to dig a damning indictment, castigating theresa may for not being clear about what she wa nts for not being clear about what she wants or how she will execute her planned. and of course none of this is new news to anyone because this has been the case for such a long period of time now and what has changed, of course, from yesterday to today is the fact that there is an official delay to brexit happening but everything is still dependent on whether teresa gets the deal voted through and the chances are that she will not. there is no change here. all we know is that from the point of view of the eu we know there stands and we have dates. emmanuel macron is being strong from his side on what he thinks about the extension to dig but we need something different. the speaker has told us we need something different. when continue to take this to the house of commons to try and get something to pass but it does seem like the situati

was to get round another planet if they vote theresa may's deal down and have indicative votes and site, market number two or norway plus at as it is known as one of the —— common market number two or norway plus as it is known, it is vital the support it, but it could be added to the withdrawal agreement quite easily? not so much and the withdrawal agreement but into the political declaration. i think everybody on the eu site has been clear and michel barnier said this in brussels on tuesday that if the uk house of commons wants to have a different version of brexit, then that could be reflected in a new political declaration relatively easily. now, firstly we would need to know what that consensus really looked like, but in principle it would be possible that an emergency summit next thursday for revision to the political declaration to reflect perhaps a more open version of a future relationship that was different from the one that the government has currently been pursuing... kenneth armstrong at the university of cambridge. i was just telling you this line that the 22nd of

one story. the guardian pictures theresa may during her tv statement earlier this evening in which she told the british public: i am on your side as backbenchers call on her to resign. the ft has a similar image from inside downing street, and reminds readers donald tusk says the eu will only agree to a short brexit delay if mps approve the current withdrawal agreement next week. the daily telegraph reports on a warning from senior eurosceptics that the prime minister risks leading britain to "national humiliation by going on bended knee to the eu. the metro publishes details of a poll that suggests nine out of ten britons believe the uk s handling of brexit is a damaging the country's reputation. mrs may told the nation "it's not my fault" — according to the mirror. and the daily mail leads on the prime minister's "great personal regret" over the the delay to the planned march 29 exit date let me discuss that now, talking with the guardian, we mention that do not blame me, i am on your side. take this away. this defiant pm tells them that i am on your side, as infuriated mps tell he

theresa may. and of course, can they trust her to be able to deliver something? no, she has a minority government, they will never be able to have that moment. even if she says, i can be confident, which i don't think she has that kind of politician anyway. but is it surprising that they feel burned? no, they did a deal, she thought she might be able to get it through parliament, shejust might be able to get it through parliament, she just about got it through the cabinet, and then it went down by 230 votes. 50, you know, originally, the uk told the eu they thought they could get it done, and then ollie robbins said it would go down by 50 or 60 votes, but then they might be able to get it through they might be able to get it through the next time. we are all talking a lot, but if we stand back for one moment, remember, a lot of people inside the government said it would ta ke inside the government said it would take more than one go. maybe it will ta ke take more than one go. maybe it will take three, or maybe it will never go! but next week might be enormous. or it might not! laughing

march, after rejecting theresa may's deal for a second time last night. if, ultimately, the uk were to leave with no deal, the government says a new tariff regime would come in. tariffs are the taxes charged on goods and services as they pass between one country and another. britain would slash tariffs on most imports under a temporary scheme. 87% of imports would be eligible for no tariffs. tariffs would be kept to protect some industries, including beef, lamb, poultry and some dairy imports. and the government says that in the event of a no deal brexit it wouldn't introduce any new checks or controls, or require customs declarations for any goods moving from across the border from ireland to northern ireland and irish goods entering the northern ireland market would not face any tariffs. well in the last few minutes, the business organisation, the cbi, has given its reaction, describing any no—deal tariff regime as a ‘sledgehammer‘ to the uk economy. our reality check correspondent, chris morris, is here to unpick the detail of these emergency measures. first of all explain bec

be the cliff edge, but the uncertainty for business will continue next week as prime minister theresa may tries to get parliament to agree to her deal. the decision today underlies the importance of the house of commons passing a brexit deal next week so we can bring an end to the uncertainty and leave in a smooth and orderly manner. tomorrow morning i will be returning to the uk and working hard to build support to get the deal through. i know mps on all sides of the debate have passionate views and i respect those in different positions. last night i express my frustration and i know that mps are also frustrated. they have difficult jobs that mps are also frustrated. they have difficultjobs to do. i hope we can now agree we are now at the moment of decision and i will make every effort to make sure we are able to leave with a deal and move our country forward. tamzen isacsson is ceo of the management consultancies association, whose members advise top uk companies and the public sector. we'll theresa may's words ease concern — an understatement — by businesses about what happens

because theresa may's package, which she put together meticulously over the last few years has been rejected for the second time today, fourth—largest defeat in house of commons history. the idea that she can come back for a third time, which is somewhat —— what some in westminster are talking about seems far—fetched. we will have more votes, but clearly, theresa may, it is totally gone over this, she has not won over her party, she has not one labour mps over and i don't think anyone can see what is going to come next. if it is parliament that controls the process, does it have a consensus view on where it goes? no, it isn't in controlyet, there are amendments down that might give parliament a degree of control, but only to the extent they are then issuing instructions to theresa may, so issuing instructions to theresa may, so she becomes the slave of parliament rather than leading government through parliament, which is the normal way of doing things. it wasn'tjust the is the normal way of doing things. it wasn't just the vote, which was, as sebastien says, the fourth wors

on a letter that theresa may will send to the eu on wednesday, formally asking for brexit to be postponed. the prime minister's appeal to brussels, asking for a brexit delay, is also on the front page of the i. but the financial times says the eu is warning there's n0 guarantee of an extension, beyond the set departure date of march 29th. the telegraph reports on fractures in theresa may's cabinet, with eurosceptic ministers threatening to quit if there's a long delay to brexit. and finally, the daily mail bemoans, what it calls, 1000 wasted days , as it tallies up the number of days since britain voted to leave the eu. so, brexit dominating most of the front pages — lets see what our reviewers make of it all. but let us start, i think with the guardian coming into this devastating cyclone in southern africa. race to find survivors after deadly cyclone, and picture which i think it gives you some sense of how awful it is, but only a brief sense. david, i know you've been to this pa rt david, i know you've been to this part of the world, i mean the official death toll in mozamb

prime minister theresa may on wednesday. european council president donald tusk has warned a delay will only be possible if parliament backs her withdrawal deal, which it has already rejected twice. so on wednesday the prime minister gave a final plea for support for the deal. it is high time we made a decision. so far, parliament has done everything possible to avoid making the choice. motion after motion and amendment after amendment has been tabled without parliament ever deciding what it wants. all mps have been willing to say is what they do not want. i passionately hope mps will find a way to support the deal i have negotiated with the eu. a deal that delivers on the result of the referendum and is the very best deal negotiable. and i will continue to work night and day to secure the support of my colleagues, the dup and others for the deal. but i am not prepared to delay brexit any further than june 30. chris southworth is secretary—general of the international chambers of commerce here in the uk. good to talk to you. i was reading earlier that the cbi have done a survey of bus

bbc news. allies have been on brussels today as the eu 27 have been considering theresa may's request for article 52 b extended to britain does not leave the european union as planned on the 29th of march. my colleague kristian fraser has been engrossed in all of those discussions. let's bring it up to date. with what you have been hearing. and has been a very long run affair today because it started at 3pm this afternoon and has only just wrapped up. and moved away from what donald tusk put on the table yesterday and moved back towards it with some caveats to let me see if i can spell it out for you. the extension will run until may the 22nd which is the day before the european parliament, that has been granted. but that is the caveat, if by the 12th of april which is the cutoff date for the uk to and from the eu if it is going to take part in the parliamentary elections for the eu, there is no way forward on theresa may's deal or an alternative to the deal, then they want the uk at that point to inform them whether they will be taking part in the european elections and if they are n

. but for the erg, the question is would you rather remain them back theresa may's deal, or leave even with theresa may's deal? i think they will split because some of them just wa nt will split because some of them just want to leave. the erg is not a unified block? no. not for the matters of the dup. so if that fractures, is that enough to sink her hopes of getting the deal through? i don't think she will get it through in the third attempt. i think that there would still be resistance, and by reckon, about 9-10 resistance, and by reckon, about 9—10 conservative hardliners who will not back or deal under any circumstances. and that might change on the fourth time, do you think? possibly... laughter. look into your crystal ball. einstein said that doing the same thing over and over again and inspecting a different result is madness. but in this game of chicken, there is some logic to it. the economist‘s take is quite dramatic. i won't. . . the economist‘s take is quite dramatic. iwon‘t... uk, what next for brexit? the crisis has reached new depths, parliament says the economis

conservative mps are going to demand a resignation date from theresa may in return for backing her brexit deal, next to a piece by once leadership hopeful boris johnson deploring the state of the brexit negotiations. the guardian has the same story, and news of a $16 million new york apartment which the government has bought for the uk's trade commissioner for north america. the i has a minister complaining about the treatment of theresa may by her colleagues, saying that a male prime minister would be treated differently and that what is happening "smacks of misogyny". the financial times leads with questions about the collapse of the savings firm london capital and finance. the metro goes with a housing development which has planted a hedge preventing the children of social tenants using a communal play area. the mirror reports that from 2022, all new cars will be fitted with speed limiting devices. so, a varied set of front pages. let's take a look at a few in more detail. let's start with brexit and perhaps to start with you asa. this appears to start with you asa. this appears to be the p

morning's papers in a moment. first though, the headlines: and mps have rejected theresa may's withdrawal agreement for a third time — throwing the uk's brexit strategy into further confusion. the implications of the house's decision are grave. the legal default now is that the united kingdom is set to leave the european union on the 12th of april, injust 1a days‘s time. that is not enough time to agree, legislate for and ratify a deal. this deal now has to change, there has to be an alternative found. and if the prime minister can't accept that, then she must go, not at an indeterminate date in the future, but now. protestors shouting: brexit! when do we want it? now! there's anger on the streets of westminster, as thousands of pro brexit supporters protest the brexit delay. meanwhile, in brussels, the eu says it regrets the decision in westminster and says the probability of a no deal brexit on april the 12th is now a "likely scenario". hello there and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me, i've got the author and journalist ra

elements and angles we could go off this morning. let's start with the sun. speculation about theresa may's future and how long she has got as prime minister is, think to say, at fever bridge this morning. the now she seems to have fended off a challenge to her leadership —— fever pitch. we will come onto that in more detail in a moment. that meeting was with some of her opponents to the brexit deal, but the prime minister's fate aside this will be a crucial few days. potentially she could ring back the withdrawal agreement, there could be a third vote on it later this week, but what we will see today is mps deciding whether to take control of the parliamentary agenda, there could be a series of votes, possibly around six indicative votes that could go along several lines, it could go along several lines, it could essentially mean parliamentarians have to vote on a softer brexit, perhaps bringing forward a second referendum, the backdrop is really interesting. we shouldn't forget about the backdrop to the sun's article this morning, which is at the weekend we saw 1 million people

officially leave the european union. but instead, today mps rejected theresa may's withdrawal agreement for a third time — throwing the uk's brexit plans into further confusion. implications of the house's decision a grave. illegal default now that the united kingdom is set to leave your opinion on the 12th of april, injust your opinion on the 12th of april, in just 1a days your opinion on the 12th of april, injust14 days time. your opinion on the 12th of april, in just 1a days time. that is not enough to agree, legislate for and ratify a deal. this deal now needs to change, there has to be an alternative found if the prime minister can't accept that, then she must go, not an indeterminate date in the future but now. brexit now! anger on the streets outside as thousands of pro brexit supporters descend on westminster, shouting "betrayal" over the brexit delay. in brussels, the eu says it regrets the decision in westminster and says the probability of britain leaving with no deal is now a "likely scenario". and at 11:30pm, we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with the autho

. theresa may's morning to everyone in the house of commons is that if we do not get a deal through by the 29th of march we are looking at a long time before brexit. it is dark outside the house of commons and i think it is a great need for some realisation, we have a serious problem. as you so rightly pointed out, there is absolutely no point going to the european union and asking for an extension unless you have a plan, and i don't see any plan. all we are seeing is what we have on the table at the moment and nobody has come up with anything plausible within the timeframe required to get something done prior to the 29th of march. the financial times talks about the reaction for markets, the pound sterling spiking initially by quite a big margin, it has come off that now. people are starting to realise, those who are thinking a no deal is off the agenda is maybe it is not. that's right. as we said, this is not a legally binding decision. this isjust parliament expressing its wishes and desires, traders got carried away thinking that was it, worst—case scenario, but that is not the case.

welcome. more on our main story, and the speaker of the house of commons has told theresa may she can't put her brexit deal before mps told theresa may she can't put her brexit deal before mp5 for a third time unless there are significant changes to it. and in the past hour, it has been confirmed that the prime minister will write to the european council president, donald tusk, in the coming days, seeking an extension of article 50. let's look now at how the details were announced by the brexit minister, kwasi kwarteng in the house of commons. the government will now seek to the green extension with the european union. the process has been set out in a government paper published last thursday. while article 50 does not set out how either party should request an extension, the government believes it would be appropriate for the prime minister to write to the president of the european council. mr speaker, it is highly likely, and expected, that the european council will require a clear purpose for any extension, not least to determine its length. and the european council has to approve an

very vulnerable in this position. one thing i think is interesting to ask yourselves, theresa may today talked we are told for 90 minutes and that is an extremely long discussion, a long statement or speech that she made to those other eu leaders. what difference will that have made? this is pretty crucial, i think, because if you think in the coming days, those eu leaders may have to make some very difficultjudgment calls, and has she made them more likely or less likely to think what they are going to offer is a long extension? it is possible either way and we don't know but what we do know is that previous times when she's had discussions with the eu leaders, at the summits, they have gone badly. yes. the difference is we have all seen the reporting on the documentary about what happened during the financial crisis with greece and they took a leader into the room and told him what needed to happen, but that was with a member staying within the european union and this isa within the european union and this is a member who is leaving. again, we come back to the point emmanuel mac

. theresa may is said that she feels the house has come to the end what it can do in this process, maybe we should not be surprised if she were to consider a snap election. yeah, i think that was a very, very loaded statement from her. it was designed to, she tried to inspire the inter party by saying they would crush up with no deal. the problem is a lot of tories wanted that. —— into her party. she tried to get them behind it by being somebody's baby with no deal, i think now she is certain to move to a general election and that would properly so the bus. does you can off a ny properly so the bus. does you can off any more about them to stop that from happening? but does she also have any other option apart from a general election at this point? —— does she care about them enough anymore? there would also be some sort of revenge, i think by the electors, that is what they are worried about that people have become completely fed up with the com plete become completely fed up with the complete self—indulgence of the tory party, that theresa may's al modus operandi for th

last week the eu granted the uk a short extension to article 50, but only if theresa may can get her twice—defeated deal through parliament this week. but even a temporary extension cannot rule out a no—deal brexit. so far the uk government has set aside more than £2 billion, or $2.5 billion, in additional funding across 30 government departments with 5,000 staff to co—ordinate preparations for a no deal brexit. and if talks remain deadlocked, the uk government could decide to activate operation yellowhammer, the code name for the government's contingency planning. it covers 12 at—risk areas, including borders, transport, healthcare and security. environment secretary michael gove says it's time to back theresa may's deal. this is not the time to change the captain of the ship. i think what we need to do is chart the right course, and the prime minister has charted that course by making sure we have a deal that honours the referendum mandate and allows us to leave in a way that means we can strengthen our economy and take advantage of life outside the eu. i'm nowjoined by ya
