Ethnic comments made by President Trump about four congresswomen have been condemned as racist by the us house of representatives. The president called for these women to go back to their countries of origin, despite all being us citizens. Shortly after the vote, a democrat politician called for mr trump to be impeached. Our north america correspondent david willis reports. These comments from the white house are disgraceful and disgusting, and these comments are racist. A row that started in cyberspace became all the more human, not to mention personal, on the floor of the nations capital, after the president was accused of racism. On sunday, President Donald Trump urged these four congresswomen of colour, vocal critics of his administration, to go back to where they came from. They should love our country, they shouldnt hate our country. You look at what theyve said, i have clips right here. The most vile, horrible state m e nts right here. The most vile, horrible statements about our country, about israel, about others. It is up to them. They can do what they want. They can leave, they can stay, but they should love our country. He is launching a blatantly racist attack oii launching a blatantly racist attack on four duly elected members of the United States house of representatives. All of whom are women of colour. This is the agenda of white nationalists. Republicans sought to have Nancy Pelosis racist accusations struck from the record. Can i ask that the work be taken down . I make a point of order, the gentle womans words are unparliamentary and should be taken down. The ill tempered partisan brawling that ensued proved too much for the acting house chairman. We want to just fight. I abandon the chair. The house voted to allow nancy pelosi to call the president a racist, and lawmakers lined up to tell of the effect racism had had on them. I know racism when i see it. I know racism when i feel it. And at the highest level of government, theres no room for racism. Telling four members of this body to go home because of where you believe they are from, is racist. There is racism coming out of the white house. And make no mistake, when people tell me to go back to where i came from, that is a racist insult because its based on race. I am a proud naturalised citizen born in india, a proud patriot, a proud person who belongs in this country, and its not the first time ive heard, go back to your country, but its the first time i have heard it coming from the white house. The president has said he doesnt have a racist bone in his body, but in a virtually unprecedented move, the house voted nonetheless to condemn his original tweet. Yet far from settling the matter, the debate served to underline how combustible as an issue race has become in 21st century america. David willis, bbc news, washington. Well, jan halper hayes, who will be working alongside mr trump as he campaigns for re election in 2020, said that, although she didnt agree with the words he used, its a political strategy that has put him in a better position to win a second term. The way he said that, many people, including republicans, have come out and said that that was inappropriate. But the strategic part of it is he now has put the squad back in the centre of the media. They stand for socialism, they stand for hating the country and so he is using that language, we are talking about it, but its deeper and more strategic because it is influencing the country, and getting them to see the difference. And nancy did not want them to be the centre of attention and he, by doing this, has made them the centre of attention again. David axelrod is a former Senior Advisor to president barack 0bama. He told radio 4s today programme the majority of americans are uncomfortable with mr trumps tweets. This isnt the first such situation with this president and, you know, there is a question as to whether people become inured to this kind of behaviour. But i think cumulatively, it can be problematic for him, in that i think there are a majority of americans who are uncomfortable with so blatantly racist appeals, of which this was one, and i think it also was problematic for republicans to essentially affirm it by voting against this resolution. But, from the standpoint of the president , i think he also sees value in inflaming his base and trying to maximise his base. So, we will see how this all pans out, but i dont think anybody knows for sure at this juncture. Some breaking news from the courts. Two carers who murdered a vulnerable teenager his body has never been found to have each been sentenced to more than 14 years in prison. The two People Killed Margaret Fleming who was 17. Jones continued to claim £182,000 in benefits until it finally emerged margaret was missing in october 2016. In the past few moments we have heard at the high court in glasgow he has been told he must serve at least 1a years at the minimum tarifffor must serve at least 1a years at the minimum tariff forjones has also been set at 1a years. She was also found guilty of benefit fraud because the money that was due for margaret was paid directly into her account. Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe, the british iranian woman jailed in iran for alleged spying, has been moved to a psychiatric ward, according to her husband. Richard ratcliffe says military personnel are preventing family visits. It comes after mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe went on Hunger Strike for 15 days last month in protest at her detention. Both she and the British Government deny the spying charges. Well, mr ratcliffe spoke to the today programme this morning about whats happening to his wife. The last we heard was two things. 0ne, we got a phone call on monday with her saying she was being transferred to hospital and shes been taken to a big hospital in tehran to a psychiatric ward. Yesterday, her dad went down to the hospital and tried to visit her and spent a number of hours there and was unable to get in. He took some lunch along and wasnt able to deliver that or to phone herfrom the hospital reception up to her. Probably to go back in a day and half, we were quite hopeful when she was transferred to hospital that it was a good thing. We have been calling for medical treatment for a long time and is something the British Government have been calling for. We started off euphoric but when it transpired she is under control of the revolutionary guard again and there is no access, we got more worried. Why do you think they have done it . I dont know. I think without doubt, as you said in the introduction, the fact she did and Hunger Strike was enough to say enough is enough. There has been pressure to say listen, she is in a terrible way mentally. So there has been some movement there. That was something that had been resisted by the revolutionary guard. I was surprised but i probably shouldnt have been that they have taken control and are blocking access. Quite what they are up to, i dont know, in all honesty. They properly got more alarmed as it became clearer. We have asked the embassy to try and visit as soon as possible. They have not been able to visit her yet but in hospital it might be easier. Just to try and find out what is going on. I suppose it is possible, isnt it, anything is possible with that lot, but it must be possible this is a prelude to her release . I think its possible it is good news. It is possible it is a prelude to her release or a prelude to her getting treatment and all my fears are unfounded and she is being treated and she will be there awhile and then back in prison and we will do without. It is possible Something Else is going on. The last time she met the revolutionary guard went on Hunger Strike, they were pressuring her to sign various to announcements and confess to various things. That is what i get worried about. As yesterday carried on, are they isolating her again to squeeze her . Richard ratcliffe talking to the bbc a little earlier this morning. More than 60 labour peers have taken out an advert in the Guardian Newspaper accusing Jeremy Corbyn of failing the test of leadership over his handling of allegations of anti semitism in the party. The advert opens with, this is your legacy mr corbyn, and it says hes failed to accept responsibility for allowing anti semitism to grow in our party, adding that hes failed to defend our partys anti racist values. It goes on to say that, labour is no longer a safe place for all members and supporters. Lets go to westminster and talk to our assistant Political Editor, norman smith. Good morning. What seems to have changed in this whole anti semitism crisis, controversy, call it what you will, is the blame now seems to be put very firm yearly atJeremy Corbyns door, with the advert in the guardian today accusing him of a failure of leadership, and people accusing him of creating a permissive culture within the labour party that has allowed anti semitism to grow. 0ne party that has allowed anti semitism to grow. One of the players who signed that advert is the labour peer george foulkes. Why now, because this has been going on months even years . Ive been in the labour party for more than 50 years, i never thought i would come when along with colleagues we had to take out an advert to get the attention of our leader to do something about the growth of racism within our party. But the time came when we came to the end of our tether. We have good people leaving the party, young staffers talking to panorama, indicating what has been happening, and then getting threatened with legal action against them, so we decided we had to take some action. So we now want our leader to give an apology in front of the jewish audience for what has been happening in the party, and to outline exactly what is going to be done about it so that each case will be treated quickly and with the right of an independent appeal procedure. Unless you take some action like that then we will not believe that it is being dealt with seriously. What you say to mr corbin dealt with seriously. What you say to mrcorbin and dealt with seriously. What you say to mr corbin and those of his supporters who say, here we go again, people have never liked him, using the anti semitism issue to damage his leadership . using the anti semitism issue to damage his leadership . I have known him for many years, i travelled abroad with him, i understand what he is doing and i like his agenda for our domestic policy. And i want to support him, i want to see a Labour Government. But he really needs to take action to deal with this cancer within the party. We are losing members, day by day, excellent people i know are leaving the party, some of our peers have left the party because action is not being taken. So he really needs to ta ke being taken. So he really needs to take immediate action and an apology and upper procedure with an independent appeals arrangement. Thank you very much. Interesting thoughts of Jeremy Corbyn thank you very much. Interesting thoughts ofJeremy Corbyn having to go before a jewish audience to issue an apology. The stakes, it seems, just going up and up to mr corbin. Norman, thank you very much. We will be back with norman for the latest on the tory leadership campaign, the final hustings, later today, with the new there were two candidates. New Prime Minister will be announced tuesday morning. Here on the bbc news channel, but now we say goodbye to viewers on bbc two. The final hustings later today, it is almost over. Almost over. You wonder how much has changed in the course of this leadership contest in that Boris Johnson course of this leadership contest in that borisjohnson started out the favourite and is probably finishing as the favourite. The one thing i think has been significant about the contest, whoever wins, is the fact that the next conservative leader is it seems going to adopt a much, much tougher, more hard line approach to brexit and it seems to be ready to ta ke brexit and it seems to be ready to take us out without a deal. Whereas mrs mays government seem pretty determined to avoid no deal, both mr huntand determined to avoid no deal, both mr hunt and Boris Johnson determined to avoid no deal, both mr hunt and borisjohnson have signalled they are quite prepared to leave without an agreement. With borisjohnson leave without an agreement. With Boris Johnson saying leave without an agreement. With borisjohnson saying that leave without an agreement. With Boris Johnson saying that the 0ctober Boris Johnson saying that the october 31 deadline is a do or die deadline, mr hunt setting not as tough a deadline but also suggesting the eu would have to sign up to some sort of broad agreement by the end of september. We know both men have ruled out any changes to the backstop. Which means unless, frankly, the eu blinks in the face of this, the likelihood would seem to be that we are indeed heading towards an ideal brexit. How does that happen, because obviously there has been a lot of discussion around trying to set parliament aside in order to prevent mps blocking a no deal . Whether that were to happen 01 no deal . Whether that were to happen or not, even in the event of parliament not being prorogued, is there anything mps could do to stop a no deal . There anything mps could do to stop a nodeal . That is very good question. There is an attempt going through parliament now, in the house of lords this afternoon, to try and ensure borisjohnson of lords this afternoon, to try and ensure Boris Johnson cant suspend parliament by basically ensuring parliament by basically ensuring parliament has to sit and debate Northern Ireland matters during 0ctober. But even if that gets through the lords, it is not at all clear it would get through the commons, and the difficulty i think those mps seeking to thwart no deal haveis those mps seeking to thwart no deal have is not just those mps seeking to thwart no deal have is notjust finding a device to do that but getting the numbers to do that but getting the numbers to do that. There are emerging a group of labour mps do that. There are emerging a group of labourmps in do that. There are emerging a group of labour mps in leave supporting seats who are determined not to see brexit thwarted, and some have clearly said if it was a choice between no deal and no brexit than they would vote for no deal. So it is not clear to me that the opponents of no deal have either got the device or the numbers to stop the device or the numbers to stop the next tory leader, if thats what they want to do. Norman, thank you very much. Penultimate Prime Ministers questions for theresa may at midday. We will have coverage of that. Some breaking news from the old bailey, we are hearing a student who drove at cyclists and Police Officers outside the houses of parliament has been found guilty of two charges of attempted murder.

Perpetrators of Domestic Violence in Rural Communities often use isolation as a weapon, a report has found leaving their victims struggling to get help and to report their abusers. New research by the National Rural Crime Network found evidence that abusers may even move victims to country settings to extend their control. It says some victims are isolated, unsupported and unprotected in what it calls a rural hell. Frankie mccamley reports. Making the idyllic move to the beautiful countryside to enjoy a quiet life. For some, though, this isolation is used as a way to control and abuse. Sarah, not her real name, was in a controlling relationship for years. Living in a Rural Community made her feel like she couldnt ask for help. I feel like a prisoner and living so far away in the middle of nowhere. Its dark on a night and its quiet, and you havent got people around you. She managed to access help, but finding it wasnt easy. I was scared to go to the gp because the gp, the receptionist, everyone in there knows you or knows someone to do with you, and ijust dont want my life out there. But that could change. So, this is the first time that anybody has looked at Domestic Abuse specifically through the lens of rurality. A Research Project has found victims of rural Domestic Abuse are half as likely to report it, and the abuse goes on significantly longer than urban areas. Weve had very clear examples of an entire community being roped into the abuse by the abuser, so when the police knocked on the door of potential witnesses, theyre always on the side of the abuser and not be abused. This research is just a starting point to find out how common this crime is in the countryside, but the bigger challenge is going to be changing some of those entrenched views that protect the perpetrator, rather than the victim. The research will be discussed in Parliament Later today, in the hope of protecting those victims hidden by isolation. Frankie mccamley, bbc news. Some breaking news about military pensions.

The German Defence minister ursula von der leyen has been elected president of the european commission, despite stiff opposition. Shes the first woman to hold the European Unions topjob. Thanking the European Parliament in strasbourg, she said she was honoured and overwhelmed and that the task with more details, gareth barlow, reports. A smile, a sigh, and a standing ovation, as ursula von der leyen was announced as the next president of the european commission. The German Defence minister, an ally of the chancellor angela merkel, was narrowly elected when following a secret ballot among meps. I thank you for the trust you placed in me. The trust you placed in me is confidence you placed in europe your confidence in a united and a strong europe, from east to west, from south to north. The political path forjunckers replacement wont be easy. With just nine votes to spare the strength of her appointment and her clout will be far weaker than hoped. Ursula von der leyen is the new face of europe. The first woman to lead the commission, she has a mother of seven, trained as a gynaecologist before entering politics. It took european leaders days, though, to agree her nomination, and the European Parliament only just approved her appointment. The firstjob, then, for the new president when she takes office in november will be to bring unity to an organisation which is increasingly politically fractured. The former defence minister hasnt avoided criticism of her own, with her management style attacked and the readiness of the German Armed Forces frequently questioned. Perhaps then, ursula von der leyen will want to keep the body armour close when, in a few months time, she will have to navigate the minefield of european politics. Thank you very much. Gareth barlow, bbc news. The most played song on uk radio of the 21st century has been revealed it is the snow patrol ballad chasing cars. Released in 2006, the anthem never reached number one here, but remained on the charts for more than three years. 0ur entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson has more. Well do it all everything 0n ourown we dont need anything 0ranyone if i lay here its a lovely song but i was surprised it was the most played. Its a lovely song but i was surprised it was the most playedlj surprised it was the most played. think even Gary Lightbody was kind of surprised it has injured so long. I think the secret to it as it is very simple, beautiful, unaffected love song, there is no filter, no pretension to be anything else. Love song, there is no filter, no pretension to be anything elsem is just pretension to be anything elsem isjust a very pretension to be anything elsem is just a very emotional song. Did he tell you what lets chase cars around our heads means . He didnt have a good answer. He did say the song was written in the middle of the night, fuelled by a couple of bottles of wine. Apparently they recorded ten songs that night and five ended up on the album and that was the one that really stood out. But i think it was almost like a strea m but i think it was almost like a stream of consciousness. As i said, it was never number one in this country but it stayed in the charts for three years. It is interesting how that can happen with slums, the slow burn. 166 weeks on the charts in total. It is incredible. I think only the killers mr bright side has stayed longer. And it is one of those songs that people cling to, it gets played, it gets requested on the ten oclock to midnight slots on the ten oclock to midnight slots on the radio, and i think streaming also increases the kind of long tail, as they call it, of music, some stick around in the charts longer. They tend to reappear when they are used on tv because in the past you could only buy them when they were available on cd, now you can download or stream them any time. And of course it was famously used on the final episode of the second series of graze anatomy when one of the main characters died after a heart transplant when wrong, and that rocketed the song to popularity particularly in the states. It is very beautiful and romantic. What about the other two songs . The other two sons are com pletely songs . The other two sons are completely different. Youve got ive got a feeling by the black eyed peas and happy by for a williams. So do they release these lists very often . Do they release these lists very often . They do, every year the ppl which is the music body which tracks what is played on radio and television and live values, release the most popular songs of the year. Earlier this year they said ed sheeran had topped the list with the shape of you. He writes very cleverly,. Does shape of you. He writes very cleverly,. Does he actually . Does someone target Something Like that . I interviewed him before his previous album came out and he told me he had written ten versions of every song on the album to try and work out what the best. So he had one about nostalgia for childhood, ten versions of that, one about a big pp ten versions of that, one about a big pop hit for radio in america, ten versions of that, and he chose the best of each one. Not only that, particularly in the streaming era when everyone listens to playlists rather than albums, each of those songs works in a different genre, so you have a ballad, a pop song, one with storms the feature so it goes into the r b playlists. It is very methodical. Thank you. Now its time for a look at the weather. If only it was winter i could link very nicely to be snow patrol. For many of us we have some summery weather again. Temperatures 0f 25 or 26. Further north and west more rain, that is moving through Northern Ireland and into the west of scotland, it will continue to move its way eastward through the rest of today.

So it does, it says a lot about the country and it says a lot about the times, that we are able to have such a large event here. England can all but qualify for the netball world cup semi finals later this afternoon. Scotland also face a crucial match as they bid for a top eight finish. We can cross live now to the liverpool arena and join our reporter kate grey. What do england have to do to reach the last four . It is pretty straightforward, england need to beat Trinidad And Tobago today, it should be is fairly straightforward match for them. Trinidad and tobago are ranked number ten anywhere, england number three and they approve the type of form they are in then this type of tournament, they have won four from four so far, particularly significant when they won against jamaica, relishing particularly significant when they won againstjamaica, relishing the type of form they are in this tournament, looking very confident across the board. Despite losing one of their key defenders early in the tournament. So if they beat them today, it pretty much means they will make it through to the semifinals on saturday, assuming the other matches that take place today go as the phone predicts. We are looking to see south africa beat uganda. England are very much in a strong position for this tournament. A tough match againstjamaica, scotla nd a tough match againstjamaica, scotland face jamaica later, why is a wind so important for scotland . Scotla nd a wind so important for scotland . Scotland have not had it at all easy in this tournament. They have won one from four matches and they play jamaica today to try and keep their hopes alive and staying in the top eight. They are currently ranked seven in the world say they want to be in the top eight to prove that seeding was correct for them. U nfortu nately seeding was correct for them. Unfortunately jamaica are not an easy team, they were tipped to be won of the teams to beat at this tournament although losing to england and south africa means they have slipped down their chances. They will be hungry for a win as well. And have proved they have got fight and hunger, whether that would be enough today to be jamaica, we will not know. They will be desperate to keep that scoreline as close as possible. Thank you, kate. You can watch live coverage on the bbc sport website and app. We will have more sport for you later. Thank you very much. Bombs have far more harmful effects on children, both physically and psychologically. And yet medics in warzones continue to rely on training and techniques designed for adults. At the request of doctors in syria save the children have created the first blast injury manual for children left disabled or traumatised by explosive weapons, based on Ground Breaking research with british scientists at Imperial College london. Catrin nye travelled to the turkey syria border to meet the syrian surgeons who need it. This doctor is one of the few surgeons left working in Idlib Province in syria risking his life to treat people in the last rebel held area of the country opposed to president assad. Its been suffering a deadly bombardment by russian and syrian forces. How is it, living in syria now . Its like hell. I have a little daughter, and when i see every child i think about my daughter. Its so hard to me. And its a shame that we could not stop the war and stop the bombardment. So we need to learn more and more about surgery in children. Bombs have more harmful effects on children, physically and psychologically. But war zone medics like this doctor have to rely on training and techniques designed for adults. Today hes crossing the border from syria into turkey with just a few days, to try and change that. Hes come to this Specialist Center for people whove lost limbs in the conflict in syria. In this classroom, he and other surgeons are being trained on this new manual. Its been specifically designed to teach medics to treat blast injuries in children, and was requested by syrian doctors. Its been created and written by charity save the children and scientists at Imperial College london. Hi. This is dr malik, the medical director of the center. We do the fitting and the training wheels the artificial limbs. Theres space for recovery here as well as construction of new limbs for those injured. This boy is seven when he was just a year and a half, we was in his car with his whole family trying to flee aerial bombardment in aleppo. The whole vehicle. He ost his sister, his brother lost a leg. He was sitting on his mums lap and shrapnel amputated both his legs. He needs to do an adjustment to the bone. Every one year and one and a half year because the bone will keep growing. But there is no skin or muscles to grow with a bone so it will be painful. This is why treating a child with a blast injury is so complex. The new manual will be tested in syria. The hope is to roll it out in yemen and afghanistan later. Three men are to stand trial in malta, accused of involvement in the murder of the anti corru ption journalist daphne ca ruana galizia. She was killed by a bomb planted under the seat of her car in 2017. In pre trial proceedings, the three suspects pleaded not guilty. The uk could cut Carbon Emissions equivalent to taking 700,000 cars off the roads by adding more ethanol to the petrol used in cars, thats according to an all Party Parliamentary group of mps. At the moment all petrol is blended with 5 ethanol, but increasing this to 10 could cut carbon and boostjobs and farming. The labour mp nic dakin chairs the all party group on bioethanol hes been explaining why the change should be made. This is something that can be done today and make an Immediate Impact on Carbon Emissions, taking the equivalent of 700,000 cars off the road and also improving our air quality, so, you know, the government ought to get on with it. The government completed a consultation on this in september and it still has not yet reported. Weve got a british bioethanol Industry Worth £1 billion to the economy, we are likely to lose that if this introduction doesnt take place by 2020. Not only will this take cars off the road, but it produces by product of animal feed which means thats used for animals in the uk rather than bringing in soya based animal food stock from south america, so it also reduces the Carbon Footprint there. And the real danger if this is not introduced now, we will lose this industry, this high skill, high science industry from the uk and well end up importing bioethanol from outside the uk, again increasing our Carbon Footprint. Weve met a succession of transport ministers. One of the problems is that the transport ministers change on a few months basis and each time they say, yes, we need to do this and each time they find a reason for delaying it. All week were taking you through the key moments of the 1969 moon landing. Apollo 11 lifted off on 16thjuly, it then took four days to get to their destination. On this day 50 years ago, the astronauts had already left the earths orbit and were heading towards the moon. Heres Rebecca Morelle to explain how with a little help from a special guest. At this moment, apollo 11 is nearly 35,000 miles out from earth and heading for the moon at 7,000 miles an hour. The crew are going to be a little less cold than we thought they were going to be. Just now Mission Control asked them why the long period of radio silence, and they answered that wasnt radio silence, that was a sandwich in my mouth. That was the presenter james burke in the specially built bbc tv studio, which weve recreated here. By this point in the astronauts journey, they were well on their way. The third stage of the rocket has fired for a second time, pushing the spacecraft out of earth orbit and on its course to the moon. Once on track, the command and Service Module colombia, which is where the astronauts are, turns 180 degrees and docks with the lunar module eagle. The rest of the third stage detaches and floats away into space. The spacecraft continues on to the moon. Apollo 11, this is houston, how do you read, over . We understand that you are docked. Thats affirmative. If you were watching the skies last night you might have witnessed a partial Lunar Eclipse. The surface of the earths satellite appeared red or dark grey at around half ten last night. The event happened on the 50th anniversary since the us Mission Apollo 11 took off to the moon. The event was visible across europe and was also expected to be seen in parts of africa, asia, south america and australia. Some lovely pictures were captured across the country the partial eclipse seen here from avon beach in mudeford, dorset. The moon appeared red above london as the earth came between it and the sun. Mostly clear skies allowed the partial Lunar Eclipse to be seen here from Stoodley Pike in west yorkshire. The spectacle could also be seen from tynemouth priory on the north east coast of england. And lots of you have been tweeting your amazing photos too a selection here from across the country. In a moment well have all the Business News, but first the headlines on bbc news the us house of representatives votes to condemn President Trumps attacks against a group of democratic congresswomen as racist. Two carers, who murdered a vulnerable teenager whose body has never been found, have each been ordered to spend more than 1a years in prison. Edward cairney and avriljones killed Margaret Fleming nearly 20 years ago. The man who drove his car at cyclist and Police Officers outside the houses of Parliament Last august has been found guilty of two counts of attempted murder. Im ben thomas. In the Business News inflation held steady at 2 last month, according to the latest official figures. It means that prices are rising less quickly than average wages, which rose 3. 6 in may, thats the highest rate since 2008 and means we should feel a little better off. The pound has fallen below 1. 24 to a more than two year low with investors worried over the growing risk of a no deal brexit. The fall means imported goods and services will cost more, and holiday makers heading overseas this summer will find their holiday is more expensive. The move though does make uk made products cheaper when exported. The french finance minister is urging a group of the worlds biggest economies to Work Together on a plan to tax tech firms. The uk says its planning to press ahead with a 2 tax on sales from april, but will ditch the plan if an International Agreement can be reached. Good morning. Lets return now to our top story. The latest uk inflation figures published by the office for National Statistics this morning and inflation held steady injune, remaining at 2 , inline with the bank of englands target but still below average uk wage growth. That rose to 3. 6 in may, the highest rate since 2008. The difference between rising prices and different wages should mean we all feel a little bit better. Joining us now is vicky pryce, chief economic adviser, cebr. Good morning to you. That point about us feeling a bit better off, the gap is starting to get a bit bigger, and what we are an investing what we are having to spend. Bigger, and what we are an investing what we are having to spendm bigger, and what we are an investing what we are having to spend. It has not been red red, consumer is hesitant, the interesting thing is they are not very certain aboutjob prospects despite the fact that unemployment is now a record low. Something is happening, brexit uncertainty, and they still feel actually poorer than they before the financial crisis real terms. It is good news for the consumer more generally and see what they do in the future. The retailers are screaming because they deal back spending on shops had been pretty poor recently. I talked about this yesterday, it sort of paints a picture of an economy where employers say, things look ok, but we are going to hire workers how we can may be more easily lay off than investing in new factories and machines. That gives us a sense of a temporary solution. Absolutely. Retailers and others cannot pass the increased wage cuts onto consumers. There are issues about profitability and a number of sectors. People feel if investment were to recover because firms have so far employed more people to meet the demand that is out there rather than invest in plant or equipment or it. They feel that if that recovers for any reason, theirjobs will be in trouble or if the economy slows down, as it is showing signs of doing, thenjobs will down, as it is showing signs of doing, then jobs will be down, as it is showing signs of doing, thenjobs will be on down, as it is showing signs of doing, then jobs will be on the line. Unemployment in particular is a lagging indicator, it goes on getting better, even when the economy starts slowing down and then suddenly it turns nasty. We will have to wait to see but i think the consumer knows, probably they rememberfrom previously consumer knows, probably they remember from previously dance what the implication of that is, and with brexit uncertainty rising right now, there will be something that will restrain the optimism they might have been there. What will the bank of england be thinking about this . Information in line, what does it mean for Interest Rates . That is one of the tools that they have to speed up or slow down the economy. We have had indications from mark cairney that he will ease Monetary Policy if there are problems after, if there isa there are problems after, if there is a no deal brexit or problems with the economy coming up. He has said that he will release some buffer capital of banks, which will allow lots more landing to come into the economy, which is essential. Allow lots more lending. That is happening globally, it is notjust here. There is a global slowdown happening and yields are coming down, interesting rates are coming down, interesting rates are coming down even in the us, we are talking about a real change in the cycle here. It is good to talk to you. As always, thank you for your thoughts. Vicky pryce, chief economic adviser, cebr. In other Business News, us politicians have described facebooks plan to launch a cryptocurrency as delusional, they also questioned if the company could be trusted with peoples financial data.

Weve had the ex partner of a heavily pregnant women who were stabbed to death has accepted responsibility for her killing. 26 year old kelly Marie Flavell was killed in her own home, her baby, riley, he was delivered at the scene died four days later. 25 Aaron Mckenzie is also accused of the manslaughter of the baby and remains in custody. Thousands of discarded banana skins are being found littered across the uks national parks. Most people dont realise that the peelings can take as long as two years to degrade. A litter pick up over two days last week by a member of mountain clean up campaign, the real3pea ks challenge, collected 8kgs of banana skins left by some of the 160,000 visitors to britains highest mountain, ben nevis. We can talk tojohn harold, director of the state odious society max snowdonia society. What is the situation as you have seen at . Fitting that in context, on snowdon here, we have Something Like 600,000 visitors per year so the scale of the problem is much greater. As part of the partnership, we looked out the various litter problems on the mountain and we looked at plastic bottles, crisp packets, dog to, etc, and banana skin a single use packaging, designed by nature. It has a net result of chemical inhibitors of decomposition, and people will be surprised to realise what a problem that is. It is a long lasting issue. The reason is quite simple. If you are used to throwing stuff on the compost heat, it has temperature and activity to break things down. Up in the mountains, the higher you go, the colder it is and of course an isolated banana skin or otherfruit and of course an isolated banana skin or other fruit peel doesnt have the surrounding action to break it down. People will be really surprised because everybody, we all talked about this this money, we assume they were just decompose, it is not just the people are leaving them because they think that is going to decompose, they are leaving other stuff which is clear it is not going to decompose. What would you say to people who go to these beautiful environments and think it is ok just to leave whatever they have taken up there . I think whatever the items are that they are taking up, it shouldnt be too difficult to bring them back down again, the point about the banana skins is it is an additional element that some people may have come to the wrong conclusion about. They may have concluded it will compost down and it will not. In the summer, it will mummified and in the winter, it will freeze dry. The result is that these are building up and adding nutrients into places that cant cope with them. How many did you bring down . However volu nteers, them. How many did you bring down . However volunteers, along with the other partners who help look after snowdon, bring down hundreds and hundreds of kilograms of waste, including fruit peel every year. There is one skit that fills up every single day with a mix of items, it is the obvious single use plastic items but it is also large quantities of banana skins and things like that. Lets be clear, the vast majority of people are bringing the stuff of the mounting but when you have got 600,000 people going upa but when you have got 600,000 people going up a mountain, it only takes a small percentage to leave stuff behind, to cause a big problem. Thank you very much forjoining us, john harold, director of the snowdonia society. So the Prime Minister has left ten downing street this morning, headed for the house of commons where shell take Prime Ministers questions in just a few moments its the second to last time shell do this. Injust over a week, shell be a backbench mp again. Lets go to norman smith our assistant Political Editor whos in the houses of parliament for us now.

Her mood today, it is interesting, she seems to be much more relaxed, looked quite at ease with the world, enjoyed the cricket, doing a little bit of dancing, she seems much more relaxed with the sort of bad enough brexit listed from her. Iam sort of bad enough brexit listed from her. I am guessing she will wa nt to from her. I am guessing she will want to flag up the better news on wage growth yesterday, the better news on employment down to its lowest i think since 1992. As for mr corbyn, he might pick up on some of the speech from John Mcdonald this money, talking about ending austerity, always a theme he tends to revert to. 0r austerity, always a theme he tends to revert to. Or he could challenge mrs may very directly over donald trump, whether she will call out donald trump at the races in the way that Boris Johnson and Jeremy Donald trump at the races in the way that borisjohnson and jeremy hunt have so far not done. Call out donald trump as a racist. It could be austerity or about donald trump. We have some cracking pictures for you, police have arrested a man at barcelonas airport.

It will feel pretty one here today, it has been raining quite heavily across Northern Ireland and the rest of scotland, here is the rainfall radar image, it is moving eastward and it will continue to push eastward for the rest of today. Some showers into northern england, wales and the south west, further east rather than the mcardle tend to increase. Temperatures, 25 celsius, further north and west, temperatures about 18, 21. A bit fresher and to the last three days. The rain will continue to move its way eastward, breaking up, i view showers and central and eastern parts into thursday money, heavy showers moving their way into scotland and Northern Ireland during the morning. They could be a rumble of thunder, it is dry and brighter, highs of 25. Youre watching bbc newsroom live its midday and these are the main stories this morning the us house of representatives votes to condemn President Trumps attacks against a group of democratic congresswomen as racist. Its not the first time ive heard go back to your own country, but it is the first time i have heard it coming from the white house. The husband of nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe the british iranian woman who was jailed in iran in 2016 says she has been transferred to a psychiatric ward. The ex partner of a pregnant woman who was stabbed to death in her home in south london, has accepted responsibility for her killing. The countrys biggest Train Company, govia thameslink, has been fined £1 million after a passenger was killed when he leant out of an unlocked window. Salih khater, the man who drove his car at cyclists and Police Officers outside the houses of Parliament Last august, has been found guilty of two counts of attempted murder. The plight of nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe will be raised at Prime Ministers question time today, its theresa mays penultimate pmqs session. That will start in just a few moments. She wont still be Prime Minister next week but will still be standing in her Prime Ministers questions then. Lets go straight to the commons and listen to Prime Minister because s questions. Cricket team to downing street following their brilliant performance in the cricket world cup. They are a team that reflects the best of modern britain and plays like no other in the world. Im sure the house will join like no other in the world. Im sure the house willjoin me in wishing all the best to the home nations taking part in that netball world cup in liverpool. This morning i met collea g u es cup in liverpool. This morning i met colleagues and others in addition to my duties in this house and will have further such meetings today. joined the Prime Minister in offering congratulations to the england team who won the cricket world cup, we were proud to house some of those games at trent bridge and our best wishes to the netball team. And our best wishes to the netball tea m. N otts and our best wishes to the netball team. Notts county, the worlds old est team. Notts county, the worlds oldest professional football club, is facing extinction. Under chairman alan hardy the club has reached a financial crisis and could be liquidated before the start of the coming season. Players and staff have not been paid in weeks and the clu b have not been paid in weeks and the club is set to make its fourth appearance in the high court to face appearance in the high court to face a winding up petition. Will shejoin me in calling on the fa, the Football League and National League to investigate the situation and help secure the future of this Historic Club . Can i thank the honourable lady for raising this issue . Football clubs are of great importance to their communities and the financial state of football clu bs the financial state of football clubs is better now than at other time but the government isnt complacent and we will hold the football authorities, she has referenced various authorities and we will hold them to account to ensure transparency around ownership, sufficient enquiries of the suitability of the owners and that they are living within their means but im sure the house will join the honourable lady in hoping that as the worlds oldest professional football club, notts cou nty professional football club, notts county resolves this soon. professional football club, notts county resolves this soon. I thank the Prime Minister and her chief of staff for all they have done on residential leasehold reform, in ending exploitation. As another legacy, can i refer the Prime Minister to the book by Michael Gillard on the legacy of the 0lympics gillard on the legacy of the olympics and his investigation into criminals there and how the department of professional standards in the mud overturned the Police Officer investigating criminals and in doing that could they look at the book behind the blue line about how they did not interview the officers known to have been involved with the arrest and charged him with an offence for a weapon that was not available until eight years later. recognise the way in which he has championed a number of cases and he has referenced one over the years, i had a number of meetings with him when i was home secretary in relation to that case. Its important our police can operate to the highest professional standards. They have independence as to who they investigate and how they conduct those but i am sure the house will want a site we expect our police to conduct those investigations properly and fairly and in when crime is committed investigate it. Can i agree with the Prime Minister on her congratulations to Lewis Hamilton and to the fantastic cricket team which ended up winning the world cup but also thanks to new zealand, what a brilliant final and what a great win for cricket. Time is running out on Climate Change. Thats what the environment secretary said yesterday so why did the all party Environmental Committee accuse the government of coasting on Climate Change . The government has a fine record on Climate Change including art statement on net zero emissions but there is an issue that needs to be addressed in this house and before the right honourable gentleman stands up and parades himself as the champion of Climate Change or of the people or defender of equality, he needs to apologise for his failure to deal with racism in the labour party. Just today, just today, just today, 60 distinguished members of the labour party have written in the newspapers the labour Party Welcomes everyone except, it seems, jews. This is your legacy, mr corbyn. You still havent opened your eyes or told the whole truth, you havent accepted your responsibility, you have failed the test of leadership. Apologise now. Order. The right honourable gentleman will be heard. Attempts to shout down are down market and low grade, they are regarded with contempt by the public but above all they wont work. Be quiet. Jeremy corbyn. This party was the first to introduce anti racism legislation into law in britain. This Party Opposes racism in any form whatsoever. Anti semitism has no place in our society, no place in any of our parties and no place in any of our parties and no place in any of our dialogue. Neither does any of our dialogue. Neither does any other form of racism. Any of our dialogue. Neither does any otherform of racism. And any of our dialogue. Neither does any other form of racism. And when 60 of tory Party Members think islam is a threat to western civilisation. And the Prime Minister has said she will act on islamophobia within your own party. I hope she does, i look forward to seeing that being dealt with as we will deal with any racism that occurs within our own party as well. Mr speaker, mr speaker, the committee on Climate Change last week published its annual report and it described the governments effo rts it described the governments efforts on Climate Change not a bit like what the Prime Minister said, they described it as being run like dads army. The target is to reduce Carbon Emissions by 57 by 2030. Can the Prime Minister say how much progress has been made . On Climate Change, the chairman of that Committee Said the uk is the first major economy to set and zero emissions target and intends to host World Leaders at next years climate conference. These are historic steps and position the uk at the forefront of the global low carbon transition but there right honourable gentleman did not apologise in response to my first questions. We deal with islamophobia in the conservative party, any allegations of islamophobia are dealt with, unlike his way in the labour party where he is failing to deal with anti semitism and he can say all he likes about the labour party introducing anti racism legislation, just last week trevor phillips, former chair of the equality and human rights commission, said labour to date presents like a textbook case of institutional racism. Mr speaker, this Party Opposes racism in anyform speaker, this Party Opposes racism in any form whatsoever in our society and coming from a Prime Minister who encouraged a hostile environment, sent go home vans around london and deported british citizens which he has now had to compensate them for, she might look to her own party and her own governments records. Mr speaker, theissue governments records. Mr speaker, the issue of Climate Change is obviously crucial and weight support zero emissions targets. The latest figures released in april shout the government will miss that target by 10 . The gap is widening. At the current right they wont meet their 2050 target until 2099, which will be too late for our planet and our children. Clean Energy Investment has fallen three years in a row. Why is that the case . Still no apology from the right honourable gentleman but we have outperformed in our set and and third first and Second Carbon budgets, we have legislated for a net zero emissions by 2050, we have yet to see all the policies coming into play and having an effect on our target. This is a party that is acting on Climate Change, that is delivering for the people of this country, that is dealing with the issues that matter to people. The right honourable gentleman needs to start dealing with the issues that matter to the members of the labour party as shown in the newspapers. I think it was a Labour Government that introduced the Climate Change act of 2008, its the Climate Change act of 2008, its the labour party that is. That is committed to dealing with the issues of Climate Change. Can i give the Prime Minister a few suggestions why Renewable Investment is falling . They scrapped the feed in tariffs, failed to invest in the swansea tidal lagoon and have slashed investment in onshore wind. If we are serious about tackling Climate Change we need to acknowledge the scale of the problem. Labour is committed to measure total uk emissions, notjust what committed to measure total uk emissions, not just what we committed to measure total uk emissions, notjust what we make here but what we buy from abroad so we have an accurate figure of the emissions by consumption in this country. Will the Prime Minister match that . We measure our targets according to the international definitions but he talks about renewables, lets look at the record on renewables. Last year they generated a record amount of electricity here, 33 . In the last year we have generated record levels of solar and offshore wind energy and 99 , 99 of solar power deployed in the uk has been deployed under conservative governments. in the uk has been deployed under conservative governments. I think we are hiding the scale of the problem by passing the buck to other countries. If all emissions are. If all emissions are counted, the figures would actually be 69 higher in this country. Every year, mr speaker, air pollution kills 40,000 people in this country. In 2017 the conservative manifesto said it would promise to take action against poor air quality in promise to take action against poor airquality in urban promise to take action against poor air quality in urban areas. What action has been taken . Air pollution has reduced significantly since 2010 and are clean our strategy is the most ambitious air quality strategy ina most ambitious air quality strategy in a generation, described by the World Health Organization as an example for the rest of the world to follow. Beautiful words, they are, but the only problem is air pollution levels reached legal limits in 37 of the 43 areas of this country. Two thirds of our children are growing up in an area where pollution breaches legal limits. This crisis is literally suffocating our children and damaging their health. Once again this government is dodging its responsibility while labour leads the way. The mayor of london is leading the way on better air quality in the capital city. The tories promised the greenest government ever, they have failed on Carbon Emissions, on air pollution and solar. The Prime Minister says she wants action but supports fracking and has effectively banned onshore wind. The Climate Emergency cannot be left to the market. We all need to take responsibility to secure our future. Labour led the court to declare a Climate Emergency and has pledged a green Industrial Revolution with newjobs. When will this government face up and get a grip on this crisis and deal with it . Can i say to the right honourable gentleman that we have already seen over 400,000 newjobs in the area of renewables in this country and we expect to see up to 2 million morejobs in that country and we expect to see up to 2 million more jobs in that area country and we expect to see up to 2 million morejobs in that area but i will not take any lectures from the party opposite, when the last Labour Government ignored advice that diesel fumes would damage our environment and incentivised diesel ca rs environment and incentivised diesel cars through the tax system. He talks about dodging responsibility, the person dodging responsibility todayis the person dodging responsibility today is the right honourable gentleman. The real disgrace is his handling of racism in the labour party. Activists protesting, mps are leaving, staff resigning, what would his heroes of attlee, bevan and ben think . Look what he has done to their party. We will not let him do it to the country. The Prime Minister has repeatedly made Animal Welfare a priority during her time. Britain leads the world Animal Welfare protection index. Can i thank her and the secretary of state for supporting fins law, the Animal Welfare Service Animals act. And also for bringing forward the sentencing bill, which, for a nation like ours, which loves animals, is a key measure, because it will put up the maximum sentence to five years imprisonment. Will she do what you can to ensure a speedy passage . know this is an issue he has been working on for some time. I thank you for highlighting it. When the sentencing bill is passed, as my right honourable friend alludes to, there that mistreat or abuse animals orare there that mistreat or abuse animals or are involved in animalfighting will rightly face one of the toughest penalties available anywhere in the world, which cements our place as a world leader on Animal Welfare. The new maximum penalty would also apply to those that attack our brave Service Animals, such as fin the police dog, through finns law. I want to pay tribute to the supporters, an organisation such as battersea dogs home and the rspca for championing these changes and i wish it a speedy passage through this house and the other place. This week, the Prime Ministerfinally did the right thing. When donald trump told women they should go home, she called it out as unacceptable. Mr speaker, let me be clear. Donald trumps actions are textbook racism. They are repugnant. Diplomatic politeness should never stop us from saying so. Will the Prime Minister now on reflection, also take the opportunity to call out and condemn the racism of the go home vans that she created an Coalition Government with the liberal democrats . she created an Coalition Government with the liberal democrats . I said at the time that was too blunt an instrument. That was dealing with. But there is an important issue here, which is that the public expect us to have a fair immigration system, which deals with those who are here illegally. And that is what we need to do. And he refers to the comments made by President Trump, as he has himself alluded to, i have strongly condemned those comments made by President Trump. Mr speaker, when the Prime Minister implemented the hostile environment policy, her party stayed silent. When she delivered the races to go home vans, the tories remain silent. When asylu m seekers are deported to places where their lives are at risk, the tories stay silent. Yes, mr speaker, when faced with the racist columns written by the former foreign secretary, they stay silent. Isnt the memberfor abba secretary, they stay silent. Isnt the member for abba conway secretary, they stay silent. Isnt the memberfor abba conway correct, when he warns that the tories are appealing to the type of nationalism that has seen ukip grow, where the tory party shares more with the extremes tory party shares more with the extre m es of tory party shares more with the extremes of donald trump and nigel farage, is it any wonder that scotla nd farage, is it any wonder that scotland looks on in horror . The conservative party is a party for the whole of the United Kingdom. And the whole of the United Kingdom. And the only party in this house which is appealing to blatant nationalism is appealing to blatant nationalism is the party. Cheering and applause in shropshire, 300 doctors, surgeons and clinicians have been at the forefront of major reconfiguration and modernisation proposals for a e provision in our county. We have secured £320 million for the vital changes, and yet labour controlled telford council, an organisation bereft of any medical expertise, has repeatedly prevented these vital changes from taking place. Will the Prime Minister update the house when this long running saga is going to finally come to an end and my doctors and clinicians can get back to their dayjobs . Doctors and clinicians can get back to their day jobs . Can i say to my honourable friend, i thank him for raising what is obviously a very important issue for him and his constituents. And i recognise that there are concerns about the future fit programme and services in shropshire. My right honourable friend the Health Secretary has referred this programme to the independent panel. The department of health will be studying the advice carefully before making a decision. We have a simple view that clinicians should take these decisions because it is clinicians that know best the services that should be available for his constituents and others. should be available for his constituents and others. I often disagree with the Prime Minister, but i respect that many of her intentions are honest and decent. When she raised the hopes of millions of carers, by promising them a statutory leave entitlement, they were thrilled. So far, we have had a reference to a committee. Is ita had a reference to a committee. Is it a failed promise, or does the fa ct it a failed promise, or does the fact it is a manifesto pledge mean that she has ensured that the honest and decent thing for her successor to do is deliver it . Can i say to the honourable gentleman that the issue of carers leave is one in which we have been consulting. That is in the system and i have every expectation that whoever succeeds me in this place will indeed take that forward. Mr speaker, it has been remarked upon that my right honourable friend is one of only three Prime Ministers upon whose watch the world cup has been brought home. She and her husband were fortu nate home. She and her husband were fortunate enough to be present to watch that Wonderful Team effort. In the final week of her premiership, would my right and what friend allow himself the luxury of considering the history is likely to treat her captaincy rather more kindly than it will treat those who have campaigned against . My right honourable friend. Can i thank my honourable friend. Can i thank my honourable friend and thank him. Thank my honourable friend and thank him for the support that he has shown me and the support that he has shown me and the government and the work that we have been putting forward. I was very pleased to be able to be there for the whole of the World Cup Final on sunday. It was nerve racking, it was nail biting. But our team brought it home. And many congratulations once again to them. Thank you, mr speaker. When the Prime Minister made herfirst thank you, mr speaker. When the Prime Minister made her first speech in downing street, she said she would fight against the burning injustices of inequality. Three yea rs injustices of inequality. Three years on, nothing has changed. As schools wind down for the summer holidays, many children will be excited for the fun and joy to come. But thousands of families who have children who receive Free School Meals will be worried about how they are even going to feed their children, let alone take them on holiday. If she wants a meaningful, lasting legacy, will she extend the holiday activity funding to ensure that all children do receive a Free School Meal during term time and are fed during the holidays . Can i say to the honourable lady that we had a successful £2 Million Programme in the summer 2018 and this year we are more than quadrupling this funding. Around 50,000 disadvantaged children in11 around 50,000 disadvantaged children in 11 Authority Areas will be offered free meals and activities over the summer holidays. That will be funded by £9 million from the department for education. We had a Good Programme last year, we are expanding at this year. We want to help children wherever they are receive the right support in school and out. In the week when we celebrate the anniversary of man first walking on the moon, could i draw the Prime Ministers attention to the amazing space cluster that exists in my constituency, with Amazing Companies like open cosmos and oxford space systems. In the last week of the premier ship, could she have a conversation with a Nuclear Decommissioning authority and the department of business . If we can accelerate the decommissioning of the land at harwell, we can really accelerate the success of this cluster.

Im sure the Prime Minister isjust beyond excited is done. Im sure the Prime Minister isjust beyond excited i was going to say, such temptation has been dangled before me, and i thank my honourable friend for it. Can i say to him, first of all, we are very pleased with the cluster that there is in his constituency and the Important Role that players in our economy, in our research and science developed. The business secretary is in the chamberand developed. The business secretary is in the chamber and has heard the point that my honourable friend has made about accelerating this process. I am made about accelerating this process. I am sure made about accelerating this process. I am sure the Business Department will look carefully at his request. Mr speaker, passengers across the north of england are wondering which has been delayed the longest, the Northern Powerhouse or the next train. So, will she and her Legendary Transport secretary use of the last few days in office to justify our endless weights for the pacer trains, while the northern fail franchise rewards and competent bosses with £2 million pay packets . Will she finally agree with our plans to renationalise the railways and run them for the public good . Cani and run them for the public good . Can i say to the honourable lady, she talks about the Northern Powerhouse. The Northern Powerhouse is there, we are operating and putting development and funding into the Northern Powerhouse. Including record levels of funding for transport across the north of england. That is the commitment that this government has made. We are not just using words, we are putting money in and seeing a difference, making a difference. Thank you, mr speaker. Will the Prime Minister join me in congratulating ianjukes and our local community in redditch for raising nearly half a Million Pounds for the rory the robot appeal, to fund the prostate surgery robot in worcestershire. However, despite all of the hard work from the acute trust, the specialist commissioners have not approved the Business Case yet. Will she sort this problem out . I am very happy to congratulate everybody here is response orfor raising congratulate everybody here is response or for raising the money for rory the robot. I am sitting two steps away from the International Develop and secretary, but i believe it isa develop and secretary, but i believe it is a reference to medical equipment. Obviously we will look carefully at the points she has raised about the Business Case. Thank you, mr speaker. Forthe entirety of this premise thes term of office, the uk has held to its aid commitment. Is the Prime Minister proud of this record, and will she use her powers and influence to ensure the next government hold not just influence to ensure the next government hold notjust to the letter of the commitment, to the spirit as well. I am proud of the role that the United Kingdom has played, and the developed aid we spent across the world, helping the most vulnerable and some of the poorest people around the world, but also dealing with issues as they arrive, like the ebola in the democratic republic of congo. Can i also say the 0. 7 target is now in legislation, and within a that we are committed to maintain. It will continue to be an important sign of what this conservative party believes we should be doing around the world in helping some of the most vulnerable in some of the poorest. Some of my constituents are moving into homes built by persimmon that are badly built, with crumbling walls. In our eyes, they are crooks, cowboys and con artists. Will the Prime Minister held the company to account, ensure that residents get proper compensation, urge the chief executive to come to harlow to meet with the families that have suffered so much . Persimmon homes should not act in this way. My honourable friend raises an important issue. As we increase the housing supply, it is important to the quality of new build homes continues to improve. We set out in a housing white paper on ambition and to target why Housing Market that works for everybody. We do expect developers to deliver good quality housing. We already announced our intention for a new homes on is bidden to protect the rights of home and whole developers to account. We expect all developers to build their homes to a good quality standard. These are homes that people will be living for many years and they deserve those standards. All the major European Industrial nations insist that ships for their navies are billed in their own yards so can navies are billed in their own yards so can i urge the Prime Minister to bea so can i urge the Prime Minister to be a good european and follow their example and instruct the ministry of defence to build their new support vessels in british yards securing britishjobs and vessels in british yards securing british jobs and using vessels in british yards securing britishjobs and using British Steel . It is this government that brought forward our shipbuilding strategy to ensure we support and encourage shipbuilding around the uk, in relation to the royal navy theissue uk, in relation to the royal navy the issue he refers to is support ships, the ministry of defence is looking at the future provision, looking at the future provision, looking at the future provision of the building of those support ships, we of course maintain our position in relation to the building of the ships of the royal navy. This week and our sporting heroes inspired a new generation. Science can also inspire. 60 years agojfk united a fea rful inspire. 60 years agojfk united a fearful nation with the inspiring apollo moon shot programme which also helped to defeat the soviet union. With my honourable friend to salute our pioneering astronauts, Helen Sharman and tim pete, and agree that brexit must be a moonshot moment for british science to tackle global challenges tim pete . Moment for british science to tackle global challenges tim pete . Im very happy to congratulate and salute are pioneering uk astronauts, one of the first receptions i held when i became Prime Minister was for tim peake and what was inspiring was to see how what he did in space encouraged young people to have this interest in science. We will continue to be a Global Leader in innovation once we leave the eu and this will open opportunities for british science and innovation. Tonight campaigners will meet in govan to discuss direct action against a home Office Contractor who intend making 300 vulnerable Asylum Seekers homeless through an eviction programme, many of whom have outstanding claims and the home office can take 37 days to process those, so will the Prime Minister stop these evictions to end the homelessness crisis and respect live proceedings so the law can be clarified . We are committed to provide asylum accommodation that is safe and secure, we take the well being of Asylum Seekers seriously, Asylum Seekers would otherwise be provided with fully furnished accommodation and we allow security courts to cover living needs but once an asylum claim is fully determined their right to that support will earn. I understand serco has been providing accommodation at its own expense to 300 people who were no longer eligible either because they had been refused asylum were granted leave to remain and should move on to mainstream benefits. Last week had the honour of visiting the worlds best transformer factory in stafford run by general electric, constructing the first of 72 transformers to go to iraq. Now they are only able to do this to the support of uk export finance. Will my right honourable friend. Congratulate me. The last thing my right honourable friend should do is that but will she congratulate uk export finance for backing british business. Im happy to congratulate him for all the work he has done for his constituents and more widely, uk export finance is an essential part of the Government Support that can be given to exporters and im pleased the department for International Trade has changed the rules to enable uk export finance to support smaller exporters which has encouraged them, the uk plays a vital role in our economy and exporting so i am happy to congratulate them. Im always happy to congratulate the honourable gentleman for one good reason, he invariably plays the ball rather than the man for the woman, he sticks to the arguments and thats why he is respected notjust by his constituents but across the house. On the 26th ofjune this house agreed an snp resolution regretting the hostile environment and groups on africa showed structural failure is in the visa system is perpetuating that hostile environment. How can her government spent millions on a Global Campaign saying britain is great when for so many academics from africa britain is closed . Entry clearance officers consider applications for visas with the utmost rigour because our visas are an important way to secure our border and effective to reduce illegal immigration, tackle organised crime and protect national security. He mentions visas for people coming from africa, the percentage of african nationals who saw their application granted is up 496 saw their application granted is up 4 and is only slightly below the average rent of the last ten years and visa applications are at their highest since 2013. Three weeks ago i was highest since 2013. Three weeks ago iwas in highest since 2013. Three weeks ago i was in new york for world pride, a celebration of equality with 150 people cheered on by millions, then we had london pride and we will have other prides across the uk and europe but its a different story in many other countries where millions of people live in fear of prosecution and persecution and commonwealth countries blame British Legacy legislation. What message does she have to them that they can change their laws progressively and that everyone in their countries can live in harmony and love . Hes right and people will have seen a wonderful pride parade in london and im sorry i was not able to be present at the reception that downing street was pleased to host this year. Its an issue that i raised at the commonwealth heads of government meeting last year when i made it clear to commonwealth countries that we want to see them introduce those progressive laws and changes and that we are willing to help them and provide support and show how the legislation we have used so they can adopt out and people can indeed live in true equality. Fanatics Prime Ministers questions, pitting questions of anti semitism back to labour. Back to norman. You have been listening in, what did you think, that is the last Prime Ministers questions for her as leader, did it go how you would have expected a . I thought it was quite a clever ploy by 18 may to try and turn the heat onJeremy Corbyn, turning it into opposition leaders questions, challenging Jeremy Corbyn to apologise for the ongoing anti semitism controversy in the labour party. Why is it clever . She knows fall well it will get the headlines, it will keep the heat on mr corbyn in the wake of that advertisement in the guardian this morning from labour peers, that it keeps the anti semitism story bubbling along. I was surprised that he he did not come back and say this as Prime Ministers questions, and say i asked the question. He chose to took it on, he said you have failed to tackle islamophobia, i have no lessons to learn from you given that you introduced a hostile environment policy, centred around their home fans. The damage i think will be that in terms of news coverage, it keeps the story going on there. Interesting and come away from the chamber, i was looking at some of the remarks byjohn mcdonnell, he was an event earlier this morning. He was asked about the anti semitism row, he hit back at his critics, accusing them of using the rail to damage mr corbyn. I think this is the interesting point, he said the ease of those pairs would be listened to and could form pa rt would be listened to and could form part of the recommendations on any future changes to the bodys rose on anti semitism. I wonder if we are about to see a gear change and tear in team corbyn on the criticism of his opponents over anti semitism one may be under pressure, they do have to look at further nets and tucks over anti semitism. It might just be mr mcdonald speaking, but i think it is worth watching to see where team corbyn think the pressure is now so intense, they are going to have to come forward with some new proposals. It has been dragging on the further long time now, hasnt it . It has. The nature of this change, the controversy, crisis, it has become a Jeremy Corbyn story. It is no longer just a story about unpleasant anti semitic members on the fringes of the labour party. It has become a story directly about jeremy of the labour party. It has become a story directly aboutJeremy Corbyn and the culture he has allowed to develop in the labour party with the accusation that by and large he is allowed and join the huge expansion of the labour party, members who normally would never be allowed in, who have much more extreme views around conspiracy theories and corbyns own fees, and the more than the mac platform. That has sent a message out to people with anti semitic views that its ok to impress them within the labour party. This has become a personal challenge and crisis, i would suggest, for mr corbyn. Thank you very much, norman. The ex partner of a heavily pregnant woman who was stabbed to death has accepted responsibility for her killing. 26 year old Kelly Mary Fauvrelle who was eight months pregnant was killed in her own home. Her baby riley who was delivered at the scene died four days later. The countrys biggest Train Company has been fined £1 million after a passenger was killed when he leant out of an unlocked window. Govia Thameslink Railway admitted a breach of health and safety rules over the death of rail enthusiast, simon brown. The us house of representatives has voted to condemn President Trump as racist, after he told four non white, democrat congresswomen to go back to the countries they came from. Every democrat in the house supported the resolution, which said the president had legitimised hatred. Only four republicans backed it. The congresswomen sometimes referred to together as the squad spoke to gayle king on cbs this morning. America has been about the triumph of people who fight for everyone, versus those who want to preserve rights forjust versus those who want to preserve rights for just a just for you. There is no bottom to the barrel that will be used in weaponised to stifle those who want to advance rights for all people in the United States. We can talk about and spin out about hateful words, which are predictable prompt by the occupant of this white house and i call him that, not because i dont have respect for the oval office. You could be president of the United States the occupant. He is only occupying the space, he does not embody the principles, the responsibility, the grace, the integrity of a true president. For that reason, i am not dishonouring the office, he does every day. This isa the office, he does every day. This is a distraction, this is a disruption when our leading and governing on the issues carrying consequences to the american people. What did you think when you had the tweet . I am hearing about this when i heard people saying how he had what the president said . What can we do, i hear ices knocking on doors without warrants. I am trying to represent my district, i am trying to fight to make sure they have a voice here. At the same time, i am dealing with the display i have ever had to deal with in my lifetime and try to push back on that and try and do thejob that try to push back on that and try and do the job that we have been to do, centred around the people at home. This is a distraction. This is a person that really wants to vilify, demonise not only immigrants but communities of colour, as many of my sisters who have been talking about. It is very much a distraction, getting a son focus. It is interesting that you all use the word distraction, that he is trying to distract away from other issues. It has been said about the four review, the thought of you are a distraction, that you are playing right into the president s hands, what you say to people, and you have your critics too, he say that you area your critics too, he say that you are a distraction . The insinuation of the question is a distraction. I think he wanted to focus on that. You should be asking why is it that we are being criticised, what do we bring to this body . We are an extension of a movement in our country that once medicare for all. That wants us to push back against the attacks on committees of colour. I think all of us have incredibly strong residence in our district that have spoke volumes and electing people like this. We are a distraction to the business as usual. We were elected for that purpose. Each of us represent very different districts. Each of us bring our unique and authentic voice to this body. We govern in our own way. What we are we govern in our own way. What we a re off we govern in our own way. What we are off for women who have an alignment of values, shared policy approaches, there is no insurgency here, there is nothing spiritual. There is no insurgency . There is no insurgency. We are for lawmakers who happen to land in the same place on the same issue time and time again. They are the four democratic congresswoman speaking on American Television about the tweets that President Trump sent about them. A woman has won her appeal giving her the right to her late partners military compensation and pension. Air commodore Christopher Green was an officer in the raf when he died suddenly, he had been in a committed relationship with Jane Langford for 15 years. However because she had not formally dissolved her marriage to her ex partner she was ineligible to his pension under raf rules which allow unmarried partners of officers to take their pension after their death. The ruling means others who have been refused a partners pension because they hadnt divorced their ex spouse may be able to bring a claim. The uk could cut Carbon Emissions equivalent to taking 700,000 cars off the roads by adding more ethanol to the petrol used in cars thats according to an all Party Parliamentary group of mps. At the moment all petrol is blended with 5 ethanol, but increasing this to 10 could cut carbon and boostjobs and farming. The labour mp nic dakin chairs the all party group on bioethanol hes been explaining why the change should be made. This is something that can be done today and make an Immediate Impact on Carbon Emissions, taking the equivalent of 700,000 cars off the road and also improving our air quality, so, you know, the government ought to get on with it. The government completed a consultation on this in september and it still has not yet reported. Weve got a british bioethanol Industry Worth £1 billion to the economy, we are likely to lose that if this introduction doesnt take place by 2020. Not only will this take cars off the road, but it produces by product of animal feed which means thats used for animals in the uk rather than bringing in soya based animal food stock from south america, so it also reduces the Carbon Footprint there. And the real danger if this is not introduced now, we will lose this industry, this high skill, high science industry from the uk and well end up importing bioethanol from outside the uk, again increasing our Carbon Footprint. Weve met a succession of transport ministers. One of the problems is that the transport ministers change on a few months basis and each time they say, yes, we need to do this and each time they find a reason for delaying it. We are hearing that the brother of the bomber who attacked a constant dilemma concert in manchester is being urged related to britain. Who attacked a concert in manchester. It is reuters news that is quoting a spokesperson in tripoli on this. These details just coming through. The brother of the bomber from the manchester attack, and libya saying he is going to be extradited this year. He is the younger brother and according to the libyan prime minster, he will be extradited to britain before the end of the year. He is 20. He was arrested in libya shortly after his older brother blew himself up at the Manchester Arena on the 22nd of may, killing 22 people. The prime minster has said that the libyan authorities have been working with the british authorities and has said that is the brother who has been arrested, the brother who has been arrested, the brother who has been arrested, the brother who blew up the bomb in manchester. I think we will finish all the legal procedure, we understand the suffering of the family of the victims of this terror attack. We suffer in libya from attacks. Greater Manchester Police for his arrest has been issued and they believe they have enough evidence to charge him with the matters of 22 people, the attempted murders of others who were injured and conspiracy to. The most played song on uk radio of the 21st century has been revealed, it is the snow patrol ballad chasing cars. Released in 2006, the anthem never reached number one here, but remained on the charts for more than three years. Lets hear a reminder of the song. Well do it all everything on ourown i spoke earlier to our music reporter mark savage about why the song is just so successful. I think the secret to it as it is very simple, beautiful, unaffected love song there is no filter, no pretension to be anything else. It is just a very emotional song. Did he tell you what lets chase cars around our heads means . He didnt have a good answer. He did say the song was written in the middle of the night, fuelled by a couple of bottles of wine. Apparently they recorded ten songs that night and five ended up on the album eyes open and chasing cars was really the one that really stood out. But i think it was almost like a stream of consciousness. And its funny because, as i said, it was never number one in this country but it stayed in the charts for three years. It is interesting how that can happen with songs, the slow burn. Yeah, exactly. 166 weeks on the charts in total. It is an incredible amount. I think only the killers mr brightside has stayed longer on the charts this century. And it is one of those songs that people cling to, it lingers around, it gets played, it gets requested on the ten oclock to midnight slots for the lovers on your local Radio Station. And i think streaming also increases the kind of long tail, as they call it, of music, some stick around in the charts longer. They tend to reappear when they are used on tv, because in the past you could only buy them when they were available on cd now you can download or stream them any time. And of course chasing car was famously used on the final episode of the second series of greys anatomy when one of the main characters died after a heart transplant went wrong, and that rocketed the song to popularity particularly in the states when its the bands only real big hit. It is very beautiful, very romantic. What about the other songs on the list . The other two songs, theyve only told us what the top three are. The other two songs are completely different. Youve got ive got a feeling by the black eyed peas and happy by pharrell williams, which you kind of hear being on the radio, theyre upbeat. All sorts of events. I think if they extended it out a bit, and if you looked at songs more recently, he would probably have a bit of adele, amy winehouse, ed sheeran in there as well. They are very common staples in the uk. So do they release these lists very often . They do, every year the ppl, which is the music body that tracks what is played on radio and television and live venues, release the most popular songs of the year. Earlier this year they said ed sheeran had topped the list with the shape of you. He is constantly on the radio. He writes very cleverly to make sure that his music crosses genres. You can hear it on a very contemporary Radio Station like radio 1. Does he actually . Does someone target Something Like that . Honestly, i interviewed him before his previous album came out, divide, and he told me he had written ten versions of every song on the album to try and work out what the best. So he had one song about nostalgia for childhood, ten versions of that, he wrote one song that was a big pop hit for radio in america, ten versions of that, and he chose the best of each ones. Not only that, particularly in the streaming era when everyone listens to playlists rather than albums, each of those songs works in a different genre, so you have a ballad, a pop song, one with stormzy feature so it goes on the urban and r b playlists. I wouldnt call it cynical, but it is very clever. Methodical. Yeah, definitely. The brother of the manchester bother we understand he is on the flight to this country having had the extradition process formalised, which mean he is being brought back to this country, and he will face charges on his arrival. That is over the Manchester Bombing at the Manchester Arena in 2017, killing 22 people. More on that coming up at the top of the hour. Here is the weather. It remains very warm across southern and eastern parts of the uk where the weather is starting to turn a little more unsettled now and in fact some rainfall is in the forecast notjust for the next 24 hours but in fact friday may bring some substantial rainfall to southern parts of the uk. This is what the satellite picture looks like right now so a lot of cloud is linked to this low and the weather fronts which will be moving across the uk over the next 24 hours. And this afternoon the hardest of the rainfall will fall across western scotland but other North Western and western parts of the uk will get some rain too. If youre in the east or the south the weather will be drier and certainly sunnier. Temperatures in some spots could peak at around 27 or eight degrees this afternoon. So the cool front moves across the country tonight. A lot of cloud around but ahead of it we have south westerly winds so in the southeast its going to be a very muggy night. 16 degrees expected in london. The other side of the front here around 11 00 for newcastle and for belfast. So tomorrow morning quite a bit of cloud around across some of these southern and eastern areas. Then sunshine, sunny spells in the afternoon with showers and i think the showers could be thundery across scotland, and other North Western parts of the British Isles but on the whole quite a sunny day i think for many of us on thursday with temperatures a little lower, perhaps 25 in london. Now friday is going to bring some wet weather particularly towards south western parts of the uk, so this next low pressure a little bit further south this one. So that means that areas to the south will get a little more appreciable rain. Wales certainly in for some rain, the midlands, the north west of england and some of that rain will also be moving across southern and southeastern parts of the uk where so far we havent had much rain at all. You can see the temperatures quite a bit lower 21 in london the teens across the northwest here. So thats friday. Beyond that once this weather front pushes away it starts to eventually dry out. Not immediately but therell still be some weather fronts affecting North Western areas through the weekend. But the thinking is, as we go into next week, it could turn potentially at least very hot. The us house of representatives votes to condemn President Trump as racist. Democrats said the president had legitimised hatred after he told four non white congresswomen to go back to where they came from. The comments from the white house are disgraceful and disgusting and these comments are racist. Well have the latest live from washington dc. Also this lunchtime. The former partner of kelly fauvrelle, who was stabbed to death while heavily pregnant, has accepted responsiblity for her killing. The value of Residential Property in london has seen its biggest annual fall in almost ten years. For the first time in 68 years, Northern Ireland is hosting the open
