Keep him down. Good evening and welcome to bbc news. A controversial republican memo has been released, accusing the fbi of bias its investigation into alleged collusion between president trumps Election Campaign in russia. The documents publication was authorised by donald trump, who says authorised by donald trump, who says a lot of people should be ashamed by what it revealed. Ladies and gentlemen, Punxsutawney Phil its groundhog day in america, when thousands gathered to watch a rodent named Punxsutawney Phil make his annual prediction about how long the winter will last. In washington too, a feeling of deja vu, with the day beginning as it often does, with an attack from the white house on the Russian Investigation. But this has intensified the big chill between the president and his senior Law Enforcement officials. The top leadership and investigators at the fbi and Thejustice Department have politicised the sacred investigative process in favour of democrats and against republicans. Something which would have been unthinkable just a short time ago. Thats the main accusation of a secret republican memo, which the president authorised the public release of today, it alleges an anti trump bias among top Law Enforcement officials. I think its a disgrace whats happening in our country. And when you look at that and you see that and so many other things, whats going on, a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves. And much worse than that. The memo, commissioned by a republican congressman, accuses the fbi of using a politically biased source, while seeking surveillance warrants against the Trump Campaign adviser, carter page. It alleges the request to the court relied on a much disputed trump dossier compiled by former British Intelligence agent christopher steele, who, it says, was anti trump and funded in part by the Hillary Clinton campaign. But is this a partisan republican stunt to discredit the fbi and, by extension, the investigation of the special counsel, robert mueller, into possible russian collusion with the Trump Campaign . Theres been no public response from the fbi, but it fiercely resisted the release of this memo, having expressed grave concerns about its accuracy. Its also been slammed by senior democrats. The fact that the president of the United States will blithely disregard the admonitions of both his own fbi director and the department ofjustice tells you all you need to know about where the president s priorities are, and its not protecting classified information, its not respecting the hard working men and women at the fbi, its whatever the president deems to be in his short term political interest. What weve seen today underscores how the Russian Investigation is increasingly becoming the subject of a toxic and vicious fight, notjust between the Political Parties in washington, but between branches of the Us Government in washington. Vladimir putin must be rubbing his hands in delight. Is the memo a dud, sir, is it a dud . Donald trump looked pretty happy, too. His supporters will believe hes struck a blow for justice. His critics will argue hes engineered a political stunt. University in bristol says it is appalled by the behaviour of protestors toward the conservative mpjacob protestors toward the conservative mp Jacob Rees Mogg who protestors toward the conservative mpJacob Rees Mogg who was involved ina mpJacob Rees Mogg who was involved in a scuffle there earlier. The prominent pro brexit mp confronted protesters who broke into his speech at the university of the west of england. James craig reports. It was in this lecture hall at a university in bristol we Jacob Rees Mogg was due to give a fairly routine talk to a couple of 100 students, but just routine talk to a couple of 100 students, butjust minutes after he started speaking, a group of protesters came into the back of the hall here and try to shut him down. Instead of holding the event or trying to stop, Jacob Rees Mogg actually approached them. I asked in my. I thought it would be more interesting to debate them, rather than to stand down and try to cover the noise. Political debate is interesting and exciting, and im a lwa ys interesting and exciting, and im always ready to engage in political debate. Mr reesmogg might be trying to downplay what happened here tonight but to me, it certainly looked like an aggressive and heated scene. Several of the people from the audience also became involved and it certainly looked to me as if mr rees mogg himself was pushed or shoved during what happened. Security from the campus at the university of the west of england here are right within a few minutes and the police were also called, although we understand that no one has been arrested. It is fair to say that the reaction from the audience after that was fairly positive. Even those people who do not share his political views, seem to be cheering him on. I am quite shocked because you do not really think that that type of thing is going to happen and you think that security is going to be there to intervene, but it wasnt. I just be there to intervene, but it wasnt. Ijust wish be there to intervene, but it wasnt. I just wish that they had taken their balaclavas and actually sat down to speak to people. Obviously, they were not interested, and that has no place in our society. Members of the audience here seemed pretty shocked by what they had seen a Jacob Rees Mogg said that he would carry on unfazed and even suggested this was part of the role of an mp, to deal with these very public confrontations. One i asked in what he was looking forward to doing after this, he said going home for some dinner. The man who drove his van into muslim worshippers outside a mosque in north london has been sentenced to life, with a minimum of 43 years in prison. Darren osborne killed makram ali, who was 51, and injured 12 other people in the attack in Finsbury Park lastjune. Our Home Affairs CorrespondentDaniel Sandford reports from Woolwich Crown court. Back everyone back now Darren Osborne was seized at the scene of the Finsbury Park attack, after ploughing his van into a group of muslims trying to kill as many as possible. Just have a seat for us up there, mate. Convicted of murder and attempted murder yesterday, his 102 previous convictions for violence, dishonesty and drugs offences were outlined to the court today. As was the devastation caused to the family of makram ali, the man he murdered. Outside court, his daughter, with his tearful wife by her side, spoke of the familys love for him. He will never be forgotten. He will always stay in our hearts. His laughter will echo the walls of our home. His smile will be reflected in our eyes and his memory will be alive in our conversations. Darren osbornes absurd defence that a man called dave was driving during the attack was scorned by thejudge. Addressing him directly, mrs Justice Cheema grubb said, an intelligent british jury saw through your pathetic last ditch attempt to deceive them. She then jailed him for life, saying the appropriate minimum term for this terrorist murder is 43 years, which means he cant be released until hes at least 90 years old. The judge drew attention to how osborne was rapidly radicalised over the internet, how in a matter of a month hed allowed his mind to be poisoned by those who, she said, claimed to be leaders but who were determined to spread hatred of muslims. Today, the judge also chose to praise the imam who protected osborne after the attack. She said Mohammed Mahmoud had the strength to do the right thing under pressure, to respond to evil with good.

Ash what i favour is. There isa union. Ash what i favour is. There is a what i favour is. There is a fundamental difference here, the government is yet to make fund fundamental choices and you are risking ending up with something that looks like waffle. The fact is that looks like waffle. The fact is that that deal that many people said would not be done was done, we got what we wanted. We ensure that we dealt with those in the first phase, 110w dealt with those in the first phase, now we start the second phase of negotiations not quite there might not be much serenity when she is home. The decision over whether to bind tightly to the European Union after brexit or whether to pull further apart is the line right down the middle of the party.

I want the british people to see a government that is delivering for them around the world, and that is exactly what we are doing. And finally, they are today, we see the tory party fighting amongst themselves. How do you research your authority .
