tonight is all about psv and five live‘s kelly cates and alistair bruce ball are at wembley for us. hello and welcome to wembley with the oldest microphone and a history of bbc, alastair is here, no we are here for this, you have been down to look at the pitch after monday night what you think is the recovered? you can see a bit in the background now, it is improving for champions league game it's still not ideal, it's very patchy you can still see the nfl markings in places, i mean, flat and just, it's just not what you wanted to be but it'll be fun to play on. and especially with the big game this evening for spurs, they will be disappointed in holland last time out, but tonight, is it a must win? it is, mathematically the 0lney set of results that could definitely send tottenham out and not get to the knockout stage is if inter—win barcelona at home and tottenham don't win but realistically common sense prevails and you look at the remaining games of the group i think totte n ha m remaining games of the group i think tottenham will have to win the last three games to start with

and, of course, england begin a new chapter without the resilience of alistair cook opening the batting. despite dips in form towards the end of his career, the english top order now looks a lot more vulnerable. after all, it's been 12 years since they last played a test without cook in the side and, to put that in perspective, a lot‘s changed since then. take the iphone — well, that wasn't even a thing when cook made his debut in 2006. the latest ipod looked like this. and no—one tweeted about cook's debut because twitter didn't exist. we were all on msn instead. chico time by the x factor‘s chico slimani was number one in the charts and, if none of that made you feel old, well, sam curran — part of the current england squad — he was just seven when the ex—captain made his debut. england have known a future without cook was always on the horizon, but now‘s the time to prove they can handle test cricket without him. and you can keep across all of england's tests in sri lanka by listening to the cricket social. that's on air each day from 7am on the cricket section of the

alistair carmichael. more than a50 patients died at gosport war memorial hospital in hampshire after being given powerful opiod painkillers between 1987—2001. 200 more people may have had their lives shortened. in the wake of a report into events at the hospital, the health secretary matt hancock has announced stronger measures to protect nhs whistle—blowers. from april next year, medical examiners will be introduced across england to ensure every death is scrutinised. the findings in the gosport report are truly shocking, and we must not forget that every one of those people was a son or daughter, a mother or a father or a sister or a brother. and i want to reiterate the profound and unambiguous apology on behalf of the government and the nhs for the hurt and the anguish that families who lost loved ones have endured. our thoughts, as he said, are with the families of the 456 patients whose lives were shortened because of what happened at gosport. and the families of the 200 others who may have suffe

saudi led coalition in yemen has been at the forefront this week they also saw the middle east minister alistair burt appear in the parliament where he was also questioned. so questioned about the trade relationship between the u.k. and saudi arabia and he also insisted that this relationship is something that does not affect the dire situation with the conflict on the ground the only thing that we don't do is actually press the button to drop the bomb supplies for those who need to defend themselves. or graves targeting civilians is going up north if these are aware of is there seem to be an awful lot of them well the u.k. government continues to be insistent that there is no link between the khashoggi murder and its involvement with the saudi led coalition in the war in yemen which as we know now has led to the deaths of as many as fifty six thousand people making it all the more shocking to hear that u.k. foreign secretary jeremy hunt was saying in westminster that it's necessary to wait and see what kind of investigation results are going to come out of the khashoggi case and he also said th

foreign minister alistair he said that the u.k. condemns russia's actions called for the immediate release of the ukrainian sailors in russia's custody and he also said that what's taken place is a serious escalation of the conflict between russia and ukraine and all the politicians members of parliament we came to express their condemnation as well take a listen to what some of them had to say given russia's interference with maraton trade in the sea of us of united kingdom will certainly continue to be committed to the crane's independence sovereignty and territorial integrity to be putin's approach is very similar to the idea of heating a frog in water that he keeps on pushing things and keep from pushing the heat it will not be in what used to be instant reaction. yeah and i was listening into that debate there was talk of russia being a pariah state ignoring the international rule based system also talking about showing russia the consequences of its actions and debates on how to show you crane practical support there were a f

very grateful towards the work you're doing to recover the more language we lost spirit according to alistair mcintyre referenced in your book. highly two-pronged question for you. so you mentioned pope john paul ii, which was really neat. a lot of evangelicals don't read pope.

[laughter] so, what i say about chastity in the book and began coming from my background, your background from evangelicals, and talk about abstinence, which is not the same thing as chastity. there's a component to that, but abstinence is so negative and chastity is a positive

well let's speak to the mp alistair carmichael of the liberal democrats. does it do enough, this document, to protect the good friday agreement?” think it would be overstating the case to say it does protect it although i think it is feared that it does not immediately reach it, although that will be academic if mrs makin not get this through the house of commons —— mrs may. took five hours to get it passed a divided cabinet, the people's loyalties but she should be able to count on automatically. she does not have a snowball‘s chance in a blast furnace getting this to the house of commons. the dup will not back it, the liberal democrats will not back it, we have made it very clear that we see the only way ahead is for this deal to be put to the people in a referendum offering them the choice, this is a deal, this is what brexit actually means or do you want to remain part of the european union. sonny wilson was from plush—mac from dup was with us a couple of hours ago. it was this idea that we might be in one uk single customs union and do this

executive chairman alistair mcgeorge said retailers continued to face "significant headwinds and uncertainties, including brexit". lloyds has confirmed it‘s to cut more than 6,240 jobs as part of a digital overhaul. the high—street lender said that as part of the shake up, it will also create 8,240 new roles, resulting in a net creation of 2,000 jobs. it also says the cuts will come in back—office roles and not in bank branches. some figures on retail spending last month? these are figures from barclaycard. they show consumer spending grew 4.4% annual growth last month — as pubs and restaurants saw a big rise in credit and debit card transactions. spending on entertainment offset lack of spending in shops — release of a star is born and venom, glasto ticket sales, all had an impact on spending. you look like you don‘t know what i‘m talking about! you look like you don‘t know what i'm talking about! i do! the entertainment industry helped offset spending issues in the retail sector. the retail sector is struggling, the high street is struggling. standing in department stores dro

. >> alistair carmichael. >> the response of the scottish fishermen federation, we asked the prime minister for the establishment of a new fisheries agreement, does not imply the eu will continue access to waters in return for favorable trade tariffs. the prime minister gives the federation that assurance and if she can, can she explain why it is not in the draft deal? >> i say to the right honorable gentlemen we made clear in the draft deal in relation to fishing opportunities in the outlying political declaration that the united kingdom will be an independent coastal state and that we will be ensuring that we take control of our waters. the united kingdom will be negotiating access to united kingdom waters. >> given there is clearly unease about the non-unilateral ability, we have to discuss what credible circumstances could arise where we would wish to leave and the eu would not wish us to leave. the only thing i could see is where we enter into trade talks with another country, for example we were discussing lower standards. does she agree that is highly unlikely, not supported by the p

i had a quick conversation with alistair burt as to why the uae simply refused to accept their assurances that matt was an academic and nothing more. i think there will be added an inquest into how this was allowed to happen 01’ into how this was allowed to happen or could happen. isuspect into how this was allowed to happen or could happen. i suspect there will be quite a lot of rebuilding work to reassure people that the uae isa work to reassure people that the uae is a place where we can do business. is it too dangerous for academics to go there now? i'm not sure i'm best qualified to answer that question. i know that a number of universities have been reviewing their ties in the light of matthew‘s treatment and incarceration. but clearly, they have to balance the benefits of having academic exchanges in release —— and relationships with a country like this, and the principle of academic freedom, which is a very valuable freedom in our western democracy. that was ben bradshaw. matthew hedges‘ constituency mp. let‘s return to brexit and rejoin ben at westminster. thank you v

well, joining us from westminster to discuss this further is the liberal democrat mp, alistair carmichael. and presumably, you are going to say that actually, if there is a debate you want the lib dems. in order to have a debate you need to have a disagreement. theresa may says that brexit must goes ahead and jeremy corbyn says it cannot be stopped. there is not much of a debate where there is no disagreement. the real debate on this issue is between people like theresa may and jeremy corbyn on one side and the liberal democrats and others who say, now that we know what the deal is, the final say must be given to the people in a people's vote. that would be a meaningful debate. at the moment we see no sign of the bbc and others wanting to ta ke of the bbc and others wanting to take it on. i think we need to hear from them that why it shouldn't be a meaningful debate. these debates normally happen prior to the public getting to vote on something, whether it's a referendum ora something, whether it's a referendum or a general election. this is a debate without the prospect of there being an
