boris johnson, speaking this morning. speculation he might be getting ready to step into number ten himself. he was asked whether he had approached people aboutjoining a future cabinet of his. he said it was nonsense. speculation is rife. anybody seen as a potential candidate now is being asked, when they go on those programmes, whether they go on those programmes, whether they would rule out a leadership bid. at the moment, none of them are. they are saying that theresa may could stay in post, and go back and renegotiate. but it's very clear that borisjohnson, and renegotiate. but it's very clear that boris johnson, leadership speculation always follows, but it's hotting up at the moment. some of it may be a little bit interesting, i noticed on social media is people speculated that because he had had his haircut he was moving towards a serious bid to be leader of the conservative party. if you talk to tory mps in parliament they see those conversations are going on and they are being wooed by potential candidates. the o

leading brexiteer boris johnson tells the bbc the vote should go ahead — but insists the uk can negotiate a better settlement with the eu. we have to change it, it's a relatively simple job to do, we can have a withdrawal agreement that does not contain the backstop, we can do much much better than this. police in new zealand investigating the murder of british backpacker grace millane say they have found a body. this brings the search for grace to an end. it is an unbearable time for the millane family and our hearts go out to them. more than 1,700 arrests in france after another weekend of violent protests — police use tear gas and rubber bullets on the streets of paris and the french prime minister calls for unity. also in the next hour — there's discord at the united nations climate change conference as scientists and delegates express concern over a key report. the us, russia, and others criticise an ipcc study into the impact of a 1.5—degree rise in global temperatures. raheem sterling hits back at the media forfuelling racism — as chelsea and the police investigate alleged

the former foreign secretary boris johnson meanwhile has said a defeat in parliament could strengthen the prime minister's hand in getting a better dealfrom the eu. he claims there'd be widespread cross—party support for the existing deal if the irish backstop proposals were removed. here's our political correspondent nick eardley. after more than two years of arguments and negotiations, this week parliament will pass its judgment on whether to accept theresa may's brexit deal or to try for something else. with most in westminster predicting defeat for the pm, some want the vote to be postponed. this morning the brexit secretary said that wouldn't happen. the vote is going ahead and that is because it is a good deal, the only deal. it is important that we don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. we are moving into uncharted waters. yes, the prime minister will continue in post. can she stay on as prime minister even if she loses the vote 7 prime minister even if she loses the vote? yes. since the uk voted to leave, taking back control has meant different things to different p

boris johnson has been in the past quite popular, certainly in london. he is a brexiteer. has he begun to verbalize or make noise about trying to make a land grab there when it comes to leading the country? reporter: i think boris would love to be the next pm. he was on all the political shows this weekend and every one of them sadder you going to make a play for the conservative party leadership and he would not discount it. he also by the way had a fresh haircut, which led to all sorts of speculation. david: probably the first one he's had in three years. >> ashley, quick question. this is kristina. it's 11:00 at night. what you hear from people? are they defeated with all of the outcome? do they feel there is no winning at this point in may is going to have to step down? what are you hearing from people? reporter: i hear from people that they are absolutely fed up with the whole thing. brexit fatigue has really taken hold here you go to appoint a matter what you think about it you want to say do something, get on with it. such a divide in this country. dividing families

boris johnson speaking to andrew mahdi few minutes ago. he was asking about his own prime ministerial ambitions, even saying to him, there are rumours that he has chosen members of his cabinet. he dismissed that and said it was nonsense. it is interesting, i‘ve been watching various political programming this morning, all former cabinet ministers, all us today, are you going to rule out running for leadership, and none of them will. it does suggest there is this atmosphere amongst tory mps, that potential leadership contests could be in the offing. the official line from borisjohnson as they want theresa may to go back to brussels on negotiate, but one tory mp earlier this week said, what you think of the leadership race, and he said it‘s like the grand national, pretty chaotic with lots of runners and riders and a lot of people could fall at the fences. we‘ve got to wait for tuesday‘s vote if it happens, and at the moment we are being told it will. thank you, jess. and, of course, we‘ll be keeping you up to date every step of th

boris johnson. in which case, i am happy to ignore that the sincerity of my honourable friend but i have to say that the government's hearts does not appear to be in this deal and i think listening to those who were sent out to defend it and explain it, and they know that it is a democratic disaster, in fact, after two years of negotiation, as has already been said, it has achieved an extraordinary thing in that it has brought us together finally. it has brought us together finally. it has brought us together, remain as and levers, myself, tony blair, we are united. the wholejohnson family is united. in the belief that this is united. in the belief that this isa is united. in the belief that this is a national humiliation. it makes a mockery of brexit. i'm sorry to say this, these are hard truths that there will be no proper free—trade deals as a result of this deal. we will not take back control of everything. it will do harm to the meaning of words. we will give up £39 million —— 30 £9 bil

november, and joe johnson, brother of boris, resigned as transport minister. he called for another referendum. at present, the deal is incoherent on its own terms, and that's why it's so important for the public to have a say. and then, after one of the longest and most significant cabinet meetings of modern times, ministers agreed to support theresa may's plans for leaving the eu. but the collective decision of cabinet was that the government should agree the draft withdrawal agreement and the outlying political declaration. this is a decisive step. the prime minister warned that the draft withdrawal agreement was the best on offer, but not everyone is happy. it certainly does not appear that we will be able to support it, because it breaches the red line. the next day, theresa may lost her second brexit secretary. dominic raab resigned, saying he now could not support the deal. if you look at what has been proposed, it's not only damaging to the economy, but it's impossible to reconcile with the promises we made at the last election. good morning, minister.

but plan and supportive noises about boris johnson. but there plan and supportive noises about borisjohnson. but there were protests, including this giant baby, balloon which london mayor siddique khan approved to fly over westminster. before parliament broke up westminster. before parliament broke upfor westminster. before parliament broke up for the westminster. before parliament broke upforthe summary westminster. before parliament broke up for the summary says, there were still some votes on the customs bill to get through. the european research group of conservative wrecks the tears had started to make life difficult for the prime minister by tabling amendments that they said would then the government pursuing a soft brexit. the government supported those amendments and the bill narrowly passed but they were accused of caving in to threats by the drg, some even talked about chequers being dead. never one to let things get her down, theresa may turned her hand to dance floor diplomacy on a trade trip to africa, not once but twice s

for the conservatives, it was boris johnson's fringe speech that drew the biggest crowds. he criticised the prime minister's brexit plans, and speculation mounted that it was the start of his leadership bid. there is time. this is the moment. chuck chequers. the surprise star of conservative conference was the attorney general, geoffrey cox. we will leave the european union. he boomed his way through an eloquent introduction to the prime minister. # abba - dancing queen. theresa may danced her way onto the stage to abba's dancing queen. after last year's speech, where everything seemed to go wrong, it could only be an improvement. she told her party that better days were ahead, and that austerity was coming to an end. because, a decade after the financial crash, people need to know that the austerity it led to is over, and that their hard work has paid off. but brexit was about to shatter theresa may's post—conference high. the dup, on whom she relies for votes in parliament, threatened to vote against the budget if extra checks were imposed on trade between northern ire

for the one thousand century is this is a credible prime minister in waiting and boris johnson bungle and bought us another one it doesn't seem to be any kind of the it's one of the old that the office but now office have to say has been discredited to beyond belief and i watched you know of this breaks a crisis and be a general election myself i would prefer to see jenny corbett and indeed it's only because of establishment dread of a carbon government i think is enabled to reason me to survive up to this point i have no doubt that if there was a walk and their eyes more than a opposition candidate for the rule then treason me would have been gone long before know that the civil services security and and military establishment and city of london and all of the fear and dread a carbon alternative close up would be a real alternative and britain. and think if i step on is that able to how likely do you really think a general election if he knew that the vote of no confidence i think is very highly likely very highly likely because i do think that if she wins you win by a margin of marg

now i mean the real problem for boris johnson is amongst the light the tory party members i the ordinary there's about hundred fifty thousand of them in the leadership election he would win but an awful lot of tory m.p.'s would block he's being nominated and the tory m.p.'s make the choice about which two candidates to choose from i think a large piece of realize boris isn't really a politician he wants to be a celebrity as you're going into show business he doesn't have a political agenda and they don't trust him until so i think tory m.p.'s will make absolutely certain the winterreise in my stand that they will not give the party membership a choice of boris i'll give you thirty seconds came from kevin on so later just to give you soapbox and all this fiasco you touched on it just now over the plan tory infighting what a shambles it is to what extent with all this going on are the domestic issues in the u.k. being overlooked health care education police family benefits system blah blah blah do you think they're being sidelined for breakfast. well that this is the problem we've actually

boris johnson was doing the rounds. he was on bbc. there was a fresh haircut. there is a speculation that he is getting ready to make his run for number 10. boris has a huge personality. how much unsure he has support within his own party. whether there is enough there to make him prime minister. his name comes up time and again when you talk about a new prime minister or certainly a new leader for the conservative party. stuart: as, as we're waiting, looking at left-hand side of the screen, the house of commons is filling up. the prime minister has not yet appeared. there is hush descended on the commons. that usually implies things are beginning to move. as we wait, i want to bring in keith fitz-gerald, money map investment chief strategist. i want to know the political turmoil going on in europe does it have any impact on our money. >> yes it does, stuart. all the portfolios are linked quite closely by computer we found out last couple weeks and by person. a lot of traders do what is passing the book from one section of the world to the other. stuart: if the

that was boris johnson and that was borisjohnson and you can see the debate continuing on bbc parliament. we are going to continue listening as the snp leader makes his points. we will continue listening to this live debate in the house of commons after the government has been to be —— defeated three times tonight. let's listen in. taking back control from a government that is so out of control. 21 ministerial resignations, communities, resignations, communities, resignations, household divided, politics scale. a prime minister fighting for political life. the past number of months have been filled with political drama, theatre, squabbles and chaos from crisis to crisis, this government hangs on by a thread. but beneath all of this is the real reality. the cold, hard truth that this is a moment of self harm in our history. history has a way of teaching as lessons. if only we would listen. that moment such as this, i reflect on someone be regarded as an icon. winning the june came on someone be regarded as an icon. winning thejune came into this house for the seat of hamilton represen

boris johnson is certainly popular among the party faithful. but not necessarily so popular among his parliamentary colleagues and remember in all this that in order for someone to be put to a kind of general the tory members they have to first get through the parliamentary hurdle so if m.p.'s kind of conspire to stop someone getting on the ballot then they might not ever get the chance to you know test their popularity among the membership so again it's just another of the sort of massive number of imponderable scenarios in this whole you know mess of a situation not wishing to get too high brow about this is this beginning or beginning to pivot into being something else is not just about bricks it is not just about to resume a given that some people on the rights of the governing conservative party is saying look don't roll over article fifty just freeze the process because constitutionally we can do that because government is broken the country is broken the country is divided is this tipping over into being almost like an existential debate

johnson the co architect of bricks it former foreign secretary he's had a haircut so that means he's up to something some place he's thinking about point he can become prime minister but the reality is no conservative wants to go up against her yet because it's a poisoned chalice however if if she's leaking political capital that political capital is a finite resource i mean she's got to stop running around sure some point like a political supplicant around the european capitals come back to the house and say let's have the vote she loses she then goes. yes yes well the trouble is that mrs may because this is a desperate situation which requires desperate decisions just yesterday things that people are already beginning to forget but the downing street was saying in the morning very clearly that there would be a meaningful vote after this very long debate and then almost immediately mrs may lets it be known that the vote is going to be put back now that is as you quite rightly say the political capital but then it was felt by a lot of parliamentarians that she's treating parliament w

and boris johnson last—minute crisis talks with eu leaders. and borisjohnson saying we can go back and ask for more at this stage. the crucial thing is the telegraph talks about her calling leo varadkar, the irish tioasearch, the crucial thing is the irish backstop and the idea that we get stuck in something that we can't get out of because under theresa may's deal there is a veto, the eu and ourselves have to agree to terminate this —— taoiseach. they basically wa nt this —— taoiseach. they basically want a veto, which seems inconceivable that a sovereign nation can be told they can't withdraw from something at some point. to have an open and a deal seems a ridiculous idea, that it might go on for ever. —— open—ended deal. so for a lot of people, the idea that a lot of people could probably swallow theresa may's deal if they thought in the future negotiations about the future trade deal we have the opportunity to say ultimately there is a no deal at a time when we have had more time... if it all breaks down we can walk away from

let's be clear, you are willing, are you, the labour leadership to vote with the likes of boris johnson labour leadership to vote with the likes of borisjohnson and jacob rees—mogg, to vote with the dup, because you want an election and to embarrass the tory government? that's not the case, the deal we have on the table will leave britain poorer and the government's treasury analysis showed gdp will shrink by 3.9% and that wasn't even an analysis of theresa may's deal, that was an analysis of the chequers deal, this deal is even worse. is there any conceivable deal, deal between now and then that you could vote for? that is what we have been pushing for. theresa may used a very careful turn of phrase. she gave the impression today that she was going to go to brussels and renegotiate one key part of the withdrawal agreement, the backstop. but when pressed on whether she would amend the legal wording within the text, she simply said she was going to seek assurances. that didn't give any confidence she was seeking to renegotiate anything within the withdrawal agreement. it is notjust the

boris johnson had his numbers there. she is damaged goods. borisjohnson had his brand—new haircut at the weekend, that was pa rt haircut at the weekend, that was part of a strategy to try to topple the prime minister and it hasn't worked. my benchmark, frankly yesterday talking to people, was if she secured 200 or above, there's nothing the plotters can do. they can and and rave, they can talk about a constitutional crisis. frankly, sally, we're already in a constitutional crisis. nothing can change what happened in the past 2a hours. let's just get on with the job of securing our economy, making sure that people's jobs and economic livelihoods are not put in jeopardy by all of this, and get a deal. interesting front page from the daily telegraph, they've got a picture of her here, saying a vote to remain, but when will she leave? the daily telegraph has boris as a regular columnist, we must mention that. again they talk about the fact that. again they talk about the fact that she is pretty damaged in terms of her view to say i won't stand

boris johnson was colleague was a face of the campaign. borisjohnson was asked in parliament this week what is big idea was now? today he revealed it, bringing back some of the divorce bill until we get a better deal. u nless bill until we get a better deal. unless they help us, there is a risk of no deal. and to incentivise them further we should say that we will delay the payment of at least half the 39... can i finish this? add least half of the 39 billion until delivery trade deal and that's the way to put a bit of a tiger in the tank. if he doesn't like theresa may's deal, would you like to replace her as conservative leader? ican give replace her as conservative leader? i can give categorical promise that i will continue to advocate for what i think is sensible... you are going to stand against her. the most sensible plan to get out of this mess. the peoples vote campaign believes the final say on brexit should not be left to politicians at all and at should not be left to politicians at alland ata should not be left to politicians a

boris johnson in the same camp with them. the brexit minister now denied any possibility to split the conservative party but he admits some people have quit. bloomberg newse reporting, even more loyal ministers are getting ready for onecond referendum and would be do you want to stay or go, asking the people. the second would ask the same question but then ask the people who want to go do you want theresa may or something more in accord with the wto rules? maybe something like the norway model, so where they continue to trade but with less rules involved. it is very complicated. now it is a political question. if this doesn't go through, it is anybody's guess what will happen to theresa may. then it is anybody's guess with the you because they are taking a hard-line stance. of a hard-line stance. haidi: not getting any more simple. we had the u.s. jobs report with eco-numbers. they were kind of softer, playing into the selloff. we had officials speaking in different tones. it seems straightforward compared to brexit. this is

johnson his name always crops up and he's still the favorite if she does does have to go and there are others too full of too full of secretaries and many more on that team so we'll wait to see what happens in not votes and what happens with that team and he challenges writes it means broke in the threads that means the never ending story there well as they very much are now to the united states u.s. president double drugs former personal attorney has been sentenced to three years in prison michael cohen was sentenced by a federal court in new york today over his role in the payment of hush money to women who claim to have had affairs with mr trump before he was elected u.s. president is to go and was also charged with lying to congress about the proposed trump tower project in russia a project that was being discussed while mr truong was running for president in two thousand and sixteen the sentence was reduced due to mr cohen's cooperation with prosecutors. a massive manhunt is underway here in europe in the frigid city of stross berg after a gunman opened fire at a christmas market

is looking like former foreign secretary in brick city of boris johnson he thinks the brits that chaos has made a second vote inevitable it. has been a little overly optimistic for people you know earlier stages that are campaigning to. topple brick city's daid. i would say it's inevitably going to die of its own contradictions to reason my government is sitting on a time bomb with the brics a deal once again in jeopardy campaigners like these guys really see this is that chance they want to capitalize on the uncertainty to push their case and to remind people that the brics that process can still be undone. moments and for a second vote does seem to be picking up speed one new poll suggests just over fifty percent of the country does now. i want another vote but right. it's extremely divisive. in general people tend to think it's hilariously funny they want to get the stickers from as they want to stand in front of the bus and get photos we've had a lot of older people coming up and waving their faces in our faces and shouting at us about democracy so buckle up u.k. if the second vote

we will have a leadership challenge against trees in may on our hands and so then all these people boris johnson and david davis and michael gove will come out of their holes and says yes we are the true bricks the tears and we will pull the country into the bricks that we always wanted that we promised where the things will turn out that way is still open anything can happen but she is still set to lose that vote tomorrow and barbara just briefly if you can play that out for us if she does lose that vote what are teresa mayes options. if she loses the vote if she loses the vote she doesn't really have any options because then parliament will take over her own party will take over there will be a leadership challenge maybe only among the tories or also from the opposition a vote of no confidence and then she really will be with the back to the wall right of use barbara vessel for us in london thank you very much. let's catch up not some other stories making news around the world french president to monaco is holding crisis talks at this hour with union and business leaders after another

it comes after cabinet ministers have resigned, boris johnson, david davis, dominic raack, they have gone. there are real problems. whether or not she is totally losing the grip, who knows? we are in such a state of confusion fiow. we are in such a state of confusion now. the interesting thing for this will be is graham brady, the chairman of the 1922 committee, gets his 48 signatures which would trigger a leadership... that is the thing. election. we talked about the labour party no—confidence but there is this other drama playing out, what is the tory party, who is going to be the leader, that split is going on as well. do they really wa nt going on as well. do they really want that kind of uproar at this point? there is enough to be dealing with. this is what is so shocking to me. there is no understanding of the needs of their own party, certainly no understanding of the needs of the country. they have upset and destabilise completely this democracy. it is unforgivable. destabilise completely this democracy. it is unforgivablelj think the negations, quite when to come have been

boris johnson on sunday gave an interview that set a very much like a leadership bid, talking about how he felt responsible for brexit. there are also people on the other side of the debate. the leaderike to be of the party. may herself might opt to run again. ultimately, we would have to wait and see. so why aren't we seeing a bigger market reaction ,jess? mention as a caveat, there are plenty reports out there and they are all contradicting each other right now. >> well, yeah. i think that is the point. a lot of the uncertainty around the pound has already been priced in. i think what would really move the market at the moment is some kind of certainty. maybe something from made that she had agreed to concession or more optimistic about getting a concession with her eu counterparts. that actual announcement the 48 letters have gone in. with a out of the country, that is unlikely and she is not kind back until friday, i believe. much is pricedow in a terms of the negative news that we could get on this story? >> more than we had a few days ago. i think there is still this investorsoss

it needs to be taken out to placate the borisjohnsons needs to be taken out to placate the boris johnsons and european needs to be taken out to placate the borisjohnsons and european research group folk, doesn't it? it needs to be taken out. one of the things that has massively frustrated downing street through this process is the narrative of the backstopjust happening. the argument as it went just happen, it will only happen if there was no transition —— now plan at the transition. donald tusk is about facilitating getting it through the parliament, that does not suggest anything legally binding. a signed letter saying it is not that happen, that is not going to be a laugh, it is notjust the tory backbenchers, it is the dup as well, on which the prime minister relies, they want something concrete and you can't get that concrete thing unless you reopen the withdrawal agreement, and if you do that, everything else is up for grabs, emmanuel macron comes looking for british fish once again. everything is back on the table. the twea ks work everything is back on the table. the tweaks wor

but leading brexiteer boris johnson insists the uk can negotiate a better settlement with the eu. we have to change it, it's a relatively simple job to do, we can have a withdrawal agreement that does not contain the backstop, we can do much much better than this. police in new zealand investigating the murder of british backpacker grace millane say they have found a body. more than 1700 arrests in france after another weekend of violent protests. police use tear gas and rubber bullets on the streets of paris — and the french prime minister calls for unity. the us, russia, and others criticise ipcc study into the impact of a i.5—degree rise in global temperatures, as the un climate change conference continues. now on the news channel, we take a look at the career of one of europe's most powerful politicians — germany's chancellor angela merkel. angela merkel‘s debut seems about as far from brave as can be, but that caution continues to be the essence of her approach. an antihero, using care and liberation, moving discretely on the political stage. avoiding show and high fl

november, and jo johnson, brother of boris, resigned as transport minister. he called for another referendum. at present, the deal is incoherent on its own terms, and that's why it's so important for the public to have a say. and then, after one of the longest and most significant cabinet meetings of modern times, ministers agreed to support theresa may's plans for leaving the eu. but the collective decision of cabinet was that the government should agree the draft withdrawal agreement and the outlying political declaration. this is a decisive step. the prime minister warned that the draft withdrawal agreement was the best on offer, but not everyone was happy. it certainly does not appear that we will be able to support it, because it breaches the red line. the next day, theresa may lost her second brexit secretary. dominic raab resigned, saying he now could not support the deal. if you look at what has been proposed, it's not only damaging to the economy, but it's impossible to reconcile with the promises we made at the last election. good morning, minister.

johnson tonight, the betting markets are moving in favour of borisjohnson tonight, i think if people think if he is going to be the leader there'll be some tory mps who are anti—theresa may but more anti—johnson. tory mps who are anti—theresa may but more anti-johnson. and actually however reluctantly vote for theresa may. i think what we are seeing from the daily mail and ethically think we will see is the signal that she needs to put out quietly through friends that actually she knows she will not be around to fight for very much longer, but she just wants to finish thejob of much longer, but she just wants to finish the job of brexit and that actually to change horses in the middle of a negotiation could actually be damaging to the national interest. i think it is slightly different from that but then again i'm quite offended on brexit, her best messages we all know that brexit is going to be —— quite a cynic on record, it'll be at best a slightly symbolic endorsement. what you want for me —— is to take the flack for all of that so that a fresh prime minister is not
