harassment, bullying and intimidation behind the walls of the palace of westminster. three mps named in our exclusive report — newsnight has testimonies from the women at the centre. hello. good evening. tonight, we take you inside the house of commons in a tale of bullying, harassment and intimidation. newsnight has spoken to dozens of female workers within the palace of westminster, who are known as the clerks. there's a pattern to their testimonies. they told us of aggressive and threatening behaviour, of the lack of proper redress, of careers terminated or misdirected. and then they told us that the very system put in place to address this kind of bullying had in itself failed to deal with it. we heard of a woman with post traumatic stress disorder. she left herjob. another quit and left the country. even the speaker of the house himself, john bercow, faces accusations. the women's stories are unflinching, and there's some swearing in this exclusive report by chris cook and lucinda day. before we get to it, chrisjoins me. one of the things that is really struck

but the snps westminster leader returned tote northern ireland border issue. the foreign secretary's leaked letter on the irish border shows he cannot get to grips with one of the most fundamental issues of brexit. the foreign secretary compared to crossing the irish border to going between camden and westminster. frankly, you cannot make this stuff up. this is a uk government that has prepared to put at jeopardy, the good friday agreement. that is right. that's right! does the prime minister agree with a bumbling foreign secretary who is making the united kingdom a laughing stock. this government is absolutely committed to the belfast agreement? indeed we made sure that the commitment was included in the joint report that we agreed with the european union last december. so, that committment to the belfast agreement stands and we are committed to the belfast agreement and the institutions under the belfast agreement. returning from a jog in the snow, borisjohnson said what is going on at the moment is that the issue of the northern irish border, is being used

the everyday routine of westminster shattered. an islamic extremist drove onto the pavement on westminster bridge and mowed down pedestrians before stabbing to death pc keith palmer at the gates of parliament. he was then killed by armed police. colleagues, we shall now observe a one—minute's silence in respectful memory of those who died a year ago today. this morning, mps paid their respects. and this lunchtime, a service of prayer and reflection was held in westminster hall. goodness is stronger than evil, love is stronger than hate, light is stronger than darkness, life is stronger than death. victory is ours through him who loves us. stories of remarkable selflessness emerged from the day, the mp who rushed to save the stabbed policeman said it was important never to give in to terrorism. we mustn't let the terrorist win. if we allow ourselves to be tortured in this way, they succeed. if we allow our communities to fragment, the terrorist succeeds. we need to be emboldened, empowered, to be stronger to say actually we are n

now let's take a look at some other news from westminster in brief. there was a call for misogyny to be treated as a hate crime. mps argued the definition should be extended to include the abuse a of women, if they are targeted simply because of their gender. misogyny is everywhere in our society. to the point where we often miss it because it's been so normalised by being continually unchallenged. she went on to detail, in very explicit language, some of the insults she'd received. now all of these insults have been put to me because i am a woman. we can kid ourselves that these are a few bad and ominous depot on twitter but it's not. this is every day common language. i think we need to be careful about creating laws which would an inverted leak conflict with the principles of equality. mps held theirfirst big debate on a bill to cap gas and electricity prices. the aim is to provide some protection to customers who don't shop around for the cheapest possible energy deals. those paying the terrorists are much more likely to be in reduced circumstance

david phillips from the institute for fiscal studies joins us from our westminster studio. good morning and thanks for talking to us. these are your findings, your statistics, how have you come about these and what are they telling us? the government said on tuesday it wa nts a the government said on tuesday it wants a more consistent standard of ca re wants a more consistent standard of care and a more generous social care system nationwide and we feel that is inconsistent with the changes going on to local government funding at the moment. the government plans to abolish the grounds it gives to councils by 2020, and that means you have to rely on council tax and business rates for most of their money and we don't think they're going to grow anywhere near as fast as the demand and costs for social ca re as the demand and costs for social care and other services. so, as you say, even without the money they put on social care, it has to rise substantially and cut back on other services or there's a funding gap for adult social care. who you do you think should fill the fundi

well, labour mps have been meeting in westminster this evening. our political correspondent chris mason has been trying to find out what they've been discussing. what have you discovered? an extraordinary evening here, because whilst those protests, which you can see there, were going on outside parliament, the labour leaderjeremy corbyn was in the chamberfacing leaderjeremy corbyn was in the chamber facing criticism from some of his own mps, and in particular john woodcock, about the role of russia and his response to the attack in salisbury. meanwhile, a couple of floors up, on the committee corridor of the palace of westminster, labour mps gathering for their weekly meeting, the meeting of the parliamentary labour party, and reflecting particularly on this whole issue of anti—semitism. normally, reporters like me will loiter outside the meeting, we have our ears leaning towards the door, and we will barely be able to hear anything. tonight, such was the passion, you could hear the contributions of some mps absolutely clearly through the door,

jonathan blake, bbc news, westminster. thousands of homes across the uk are without water, because of burst pipes caused by last week's freezing temperatures. supplies have been affected in the south of england, wales, the midlands, yorkshire and scotland, with bottled water being handed out in some areas. several water companies are advising customers against all but essential use. emma simpson reports. it's the fallout from the big freeze. burst pipes. and there's lots of them. what is the damaged caused? burst water main. this was cheddar in the south—west. this region has had an unprecedented number of burst mains. and here is another one. there have been big problems in parts of wales as well. one resident in carmarthenshire told us he's been without water since thursday. quite a difficult night. not being able to wash properly, have a shave or wash the dishes. keep the kitchen clean. so i've been collecting rainwater from the downpipe. this mum has got hold of supplies. she's in south london, and lost her water las

john pienaar with the latest from westminster, thank you. the facebook founder, mark zuckerberg, has refused to appear before mps to answer questions about how personal data belonging to millions of facebook users was harvested. one of his deputies will attend instead. meanwhile, a whistleblower from cambridge analytica — the company at the centre of the controversy — has been giving evidence. our technology correspondent, rory cellanjones, reports. he's the founder of the social media giant facing its biggest crisis but facebook‘s mark zuckerberg doesn't want to talk about it to mp5. he's turned down an invitation to answer questions about data privacy and offered to send one of his senior executives instead. that didn't get a good response. i think it is absolutely astonishing that mark zuckerberg is not prepared to submit himself to questioning in front of a parliamentary hearing, given that these are questions of fundamental importance and concern to facebook users. this man was happy to speak to mp5, christopher wiley, is the whis

what triggered him to strike at westminster bridge? did he blame the british state for disrupting his travel plans? it's hard to get inside the head of such a violent and volatile man, and counterterrorism experts argue his precise motivations died with him. richard watson reporting there. "we have a responsibility to protect your data", mark zuckerberg shared in an update this evening. "and if we can't, then we don't deserve to serve you. the good news is that the most important actions to prevent this from happening again today we have already taken years ago. but we also made mistakes, there's more to do, and we need to step up and do it". his chief operating officer at facebook added her own statement. "i deeply regret we didn't do enough", said sheryl sandberg. so tonight, we ask how much is enough — and what facebook knew about what it had got wrong. dipayan ghosh worked for facebook in the privacy and public policy team. he's now a fellow at the harvard kennedy school of government. eileen burbidge is the partner at passion ca

norman smith is in westminster. a protest is being planned at westminster tonight. how damaging is this for the labour leader? this is not just a row about anti—semitism. it isa not just a row about anti—semitism. it is a row very specifically about jeremy corbyn, his leadership and his politics, because the accusation from the british board of deputies and others is that mr corbyn is directly to blame for the rise in anti—semitism in the labour party, not just because of anti—semitism in the labour party, notjust because of his support for a version of the anti groups like his villa or hamas. notjust because he has turned a blind eye to some insta nces he has turned a blind eye to some instances of anti—semitism. but because of what they call his far left worldview, particularly his attitude towards israel, which is to view israel as an imperialist, colonialist power, and oppressor of the palestinian people, which it is argued, has given breathing space to more anti—semitism within the labour party. against that, mr corbyn's supporters see these attacks

our deputy political editor, john pienaar, is at westminster. what is your reading of the thinking behind this, john? well, theresa may, huw, clearly means it when she says she is a supporter of the nhs but she is under enormous pressure from nhs professionals and managers and the public, and from mps at westminster, including her own health secretary, who was floated the idea of a dedicated nhs tax. this could be a significant moment. we are told there will be more money, but we have no idea how much. we do know, i can tell you, one cabinet minister told me recently that the amount needed to get the nhs toa that the amount needed to get the nhs to a higher standard and satisfy the public was eye—watering. mrs may wa nts to the public was eye—watering. mrs may wants to save money on preventative health care and on productivity and put more money in on top, but it will be hard for her to satisfy the growing needs of the nhs and the expectations of the public, and i can only add this, huw — those hoping for a new golden era of cross— party

the morning after the westminster bridge attack. five people died and 40 people were injured, some of them suffering what has been described as catastrophic injuries... one of those with catastrophic injuries was metropolitan police constable kris aves. critically injured as he walked across the bridge. for much of the past year he's been in stoke mandeville hospital. he dislocated his vertebrae, damaged his spinal cord and is now in a wheelchair. but what he wanted more than anything was to get home to his partner and two young children. it makes me sad when i think forward. to go swimming, i don't know how i'm going to be in a pool having a fun session with them. i won't be able to stand up and kick a football with them. and i kind ofjust feel... you know, it'sjust been taken away from me. and it's not fair. the kids just ask a lot of questions about stuff and about why did daddy get hit, was he not looking when he crossed the road? and things like that. and it's quite hard to answer them. at the end of last year the diy sos team

tomorrow marks the one-year anniversary of the westminster terrorist attack. it was a second depraved attack on the streets of our capital but what i remember the most is the brightness of our security departments, who risk their lives to keep us safe. c anniversary. mr. speaker, i'm sure the whole house will also wish to join me in expressing our sincere condolences to the film and friends of the red arrows engineer who tragically died in the aircraft incident yesterday. i know members across the house also will wish to join me in congratulating andrea who recently won the global teacher prize. it is a fitting tribute for everything she has done and i look forward to meeting her shortly to congratulate her in person. mr. speaker, this morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others, and in addition to my duties in this house, i shall have further such meetings later today. >> gerald howarth. >> i'm sure, , trip to the whole house would want to be associated with both the condolences and congratulations that the prime minister is just expressed.

no one in westminster bridge tends this is the end, but in government tonight, sighs of relief that the brexit talks have cleared this hurdle. we'll have more reaction. we'll consider the unresolved question of the irish border and the dismay in britain's fishing industry. also tonight: investigators widen their search in the spy poisoning case, as international chemical weapons experts arrive in the uk. the minicab service, uber, suspends all tests of self—driving

vicki young, bbc news, westminster. supporters of gun control legislation are getting ready to descend on washington dc and other us cities this weekend. the ‘march for our lives' was organised by survivors of last month's parkland school shooting, and tens of thousands are answering their call. it's just the latest issue that has inspired mass protest, but america has a rich history of demonstrations and artistic works that reflect them. nick bryant has gone to the whitney museum, in new york, for an exhibit looking back on some of the key moments. we live in an age of political protest. whether it's african—america ns condemning police brutality, women campaigning against misogyny, schoolchildren demanding an end to gun violence, or white, working—class voters railing against the establishment. the whitney museum of art has marked this turbulent chapter in the american story with an exhibition of politically inspired art. at its heart is the question — what's the role of the artist in the modern—day politica
