now on bbc news, tuesday in parliament. hello, and welcome to tuesday in parliament. as ministers pull the plug on huawei's involvement in the uk's high speed mobile networks. this means a cumulative delay to fight out of two to three years and costs of up to £2 billion. mr speaker, this is a car crash for our digital economy but one which could have been visible from outer space. and plans to make shoppers in england wear face coverings get a lukewarm welcome from one conservative. nothing could make me less likely to go shopping and the thought of having to mask up. but first — the uk's mobile providers are being banned from buying new huawei sg equipment after 31st december, and they must also remove all the chinese firm's sg kit from their networks by 2027. only six months ago, the government agreed huawei could have a limited role. the u—turn follows sanctions imposed by washington, which claims the firm poses a national security threat — something huawei denies. it says the decision is bad news for anyone in the uk with a mobile phone. the move will delay

lowest turnout since the revolution and returned to parliament with the most conservative parliament we've seen since the revolution 41 years ago now conservatives haven't made any secret of the fact that they don't like the 2050 nuclear deal and they don't think president rouhani the moderate president rouhani and his cabinet have done a good job in fact they think that iran hasn't benefited in fact they think that iran is worse off and that's why foreign minister devolves raef had such a hostile reception in his defense. said that iran was winning on the diplomatic front he said that the united states was increasingly isolated at the united nations and the security council back to 2015 nuclear deal and try to preserve it and in his defense of being called a liar. foreign minister devolves recent that the supreme leader ayatollah khamenei himself have called give us the courageous brave and frank now the parliament has put forward a letter asking president rouhani to come to parliament to answer questions there is growing suspicion over a string of fires and explosions in iran the l

as you said the european parliament will have to look very closely at this agreement now after a very difficult negotiations what do you think and will this deal get passed. well they still as it stands will certainly not pass because obviously the european parliament has important points to make so basically when it comes to the recovery package this is the 1st time when that we take up corona bonds from the market and spend it now when it's most needed so that's the move forward and the breaking of taboos in europe but. the spending of the money that it is not going to the common future programs of the union such as education we search adaptation to climate change and so on so the european continent should insist that more money is spent on the common future programs of the union to make europe stronger and most importantly the deal on the wall of floor is far too weak we need tougher rules on member states which break from that fundamental well use of the union it's been 4 long days getting to this point as you were watching it as well all the negotiations happening how do you feel

well look the 30 percent are success for the parliament because it was the parliament insisting on 30 percent and member states wanted $25.00 so we moved them quite a bit but the current accounting for the 30 per cent it is a bit doubtful yeah so never doubt never trust the statistics you have and you haven't faked yourself so therefore we need to look at what is counted as climate spending and 2nd for the recovery package that was the original idea or the commission to spend 30000000000 in order to help struggling with germans which are suffering economically from a new car fossil fuel and future this just transition funding has been cut from 30 $1000000000.00 to $10000000000.00 and that is the price to pay which is difficult for all regions which depend so far on 1st side fuel business models and we want to socially just transition for these wages if we take an overview of this deal now mr gold it's been 4 long days getting to this point as you were watching it as well all the negotiations happening how do you feel about the e.u.'s ability to get through this crisis together. well l

you're watching wednesday in parliament with me, david cornock. don't forget that if you miss our daily round—up, you can catch up via the bbc iplayer. it was the last—ever session of questions to the department for international development, following borisjohnson‘s announcement last month that it's to merge with the foreign office. the department was set up in 1997 under the blair government. the current international development secretary was questioned about how and when the decision to abolish her department was taken. last week, i asked the secretary of state, what partner organisations and nongovernmental organisations were consulted prior to the announcement for the merger between the department for international development and the foreign commonwealth office. she said the statement of the merger was first made to parliament, and there's been ongoing consultation since then. this stands in stark contradiction to what the prime minister said previously when he told this house there had been massive consultation over a long period. th

now on bbc news, monday in parliament. hello again and welcome to monday in parliament. as tensions rise over hong kong, the foreign secretary warns china. i would just say this, the united kingdom is watching and the whole world is watching. england's chief nurse explains what happened after a downing street adviser allegedly broke lockdown rules. it is indeed true that i was dropped from a briefing but that happens to many of my colleagues as well. and peers try to ban smoking at pop—up pavement cafes. the outside is the new inside. we need to make sure that people are protected there as well. but first, the foreign secretary has confirmed that the uk will suspend its extradition treaty with hong kong immediately and indefinitely. an arms embargo in place against mainland china will be extended to hong kong. dominic raab also said he had grave concerns about human rights abuses taking place against uighur muslims. some mps wanted him to go further, accusing china of genocide. the uk decision was prompted by the new national security law which makes it easierfor china

putin turned to a parliament vote to approve the move. the changes will allow vladimir putin to continue running for president. theoretically, he could remain in the kremlin until 2026. this man says, "no, i don't need a new czar." "i like it. when things change in pressure, we end up worse off than before." at some voting stations, voters were only required to show their passports. while voting was still in progogress, the first results we published. the procedure is highly questionable. the vote itself, the whole process, was invented for this purpose. a referendum like this was not even provided for in the constitution. going by already published preliminary results, it looks like a majority favors the amendments. brent: for more on this vote, let's go to our moscow correspondent. we know the russian parliament had already approved the constitutional amendment, so why was this vote so important for president putin? emily: the parliament had approved the amendments, and the constitution has been out for several weeks, but the vote was i
