Radio Scotland It's 8 minutes past 5. So the prime minister to resign me has rejected claims by the S.N.P. In Westminster that she's misled M.P.'s over Brecht's that it comes as the fool legal advice about her deal revealed the Northern Ireland backstop proposals could last indefinitely and the U.K. Could not lawfully exit without E.U. Agreement political correspondent at Westminster Rajdeep Sunday joins us know so why is the row over the back stop flared up again yes the northern island facts are plans really have been the biggest stumbling block in this whole process and it's one the prime minister just cannot really put to bed and get passed so it came up in Prime Minister's Questions today which surprisingly wasn't as dominated by Bracks as you might have thought and that's because the Labor leader Jeremy Corbin went on went on the subject of austerity and Universal Credit which is just finished rolling out across Scotland today in consented people possibly might struggle to get payments in the run up to Christmas but just prior to the Prime Min squash and the government published the full legal advice on the withdrawal deal and that came after the government lost that battle with Parliament yesterday and that is what the S.N.P. Leader in Westminster that that asked about he said the published the will if I showed the backstop would last indefinitely illegal of my sister clearly states despite statements on the protocol that is not intended to be permanent and international law the protocol would endure and definitely since the prime minister time from Brussels not to you know the prime minister has been misleading that I was inadvertently or otherwise in response to reason May said she had always been clear to M.P.'s I have myself said on the floor of this House that there is indeed no you know not true right to pull out of the back stop what I have also said is it is not the intention of either party that the backstop should ha been used in the 1st place or should be if it is used. Be anything other than temporary So what does the legal advice actually tell us well as the main points of contention is Northern Ireland that is what most people are focusing on and just to very quickly explain that if trees make bricks it kind of gets treated be a tree transition periods but in that time if they don't reach a deal about the future negotiations. Negotiating a deal then the Northern Ireland backstop will come in place to prevent a hard border now the legal advice reiterate what M.P.'s had been told by the Attorney General Geoffrey Cox the other day in parliament and the summary which had been published which strangely was longer than the actual advice but there is something in there for those who are already unhappy with the backstop that's going to add to to reason May's problem and it is this the fact that the U.K. Cannot unilaterally get out of the Northern Ireland backstop and also that Northern Ireland stays in a customs union was Great Britain is in a separate customs arrangement and that could mean extra paperwork between Northern Ireland and Great Britain and that's also what would that fit was on about at Prime Minister's Questions day when he queues to raise money of concealing the facts because there's now the suspicion that because the government had said well there's nothing to see here we're told all about the leave the advice. They've kind of caught the government out at the Kiwi action to watch out for on this was from the Democratic Unionist Party and one of their M.P.'s Nigel dogs had said It's devastating and was clear a clear breach of what treason may have previously said and of course M.P.'s continue to debate the bricks that withdrawal deal yes after a late finish last night about one am I think it was the Commons is getting through another 8 hours of debate today and trees may really is getting it from all sides and it seems every day we find out about more Conservative M.P.'s who are saying they will vote against this deal and I think by the B.B.C.'s cut places where now at about $100.00 today it was the former chief whip Mark Hoppus saying he was going to vote against and that's a pretty close to rock bottom. When the people who used to be in charge of making sure colleagues voted your way start to 10 against you so it's not great for 2 reason may and it feels like actually M.P.'s it's time to talk more about what happens the day after that vote in parliament because it looks like she's going to use it. To says he wants to see the Prime Minister show that she's listened and get back to Brussels ditch the backstop and get the deal through parliament so there's all that to look forward to next Wednesday OK thank you very much indeed Westminster that was our political correspondent Rajdeep son do. The 20 mile stretch of the delayed Aberdeen Western peripheral route will open to traffic next week the consortium behind the delayed project also told a committee of M S P's this morning the total cost of the road could no exceed 1000000000 pounds David Shanks reports before the rural economy Committee this morning a long awaited announcement from Steven Tyler of Bell for BT one of the firms behind the Aberdeen bypass the road between Stonehaven Charleston and Craig stone to be opened to traffic next week. And we're working to complete the works out at the dawn crossing which I'll come back to. And we hope to open those works later this month that confirmation will see a 20 mile stretch of the Aberdeen Western peripheral route open by the end of next week Aberdeen roads Ltd were answering M.S.P. Questions on the 745000000 pounds project significant delays it was initially due to open in spring but the collapse of the project partner Karelian and defects found on a bridge over the river Dawn caused the timetable to be pushed back and costs pushed up Steven Tyler for the situation as of today where the joint venture partners are hundreds of millions out of power. As a consequence of the work we've been doing on a body Separately we have a claim for a not in significance on the we are in discussions with Transport Scotland over those discussions are progressing in a consensual way to try to find a way of resolving the issues between us Labor M.S.P. Lewis McDonald pushed Steven Tyler for a number on the final cost can you seem to indicate whether your claim against transfer to Scotland is in the 10s of millions of the hundreds of millions that's not something that I would want to answer here. Because of the commercial nature of the discussions that we're having or is to produce that the total cost of the project is over a $1000000000.00 pounds you would accept that that's a problem. Yes I think from what we've said you could use those are the areas of the later the transport secretary Michael Matheson was quizzed over how much of the additional cost from the original $745000000.00 could potentially be borne by the public purse any additional clean has to be substantiated and that has to support any such clean tax payers can't be in a position but it's simply accept cycling in this large By can chart on the basis of what the think even cult of additional costs not seen you do to me not have a clean what I'm saying is that to do so you need to be able to substantiate it until just the evidence to demonstrate it so where does this leave us today part of the road that has been complete since October will now allow traffic between Stonehaven Charleston and Kristen from next week the total cost will be somewhere around $1000000000.00 pounds well above the agreed $745000000.00 but at present the responsibility for that costs lies with the contractor who are pursuing a claim with the Scottish Government asked for the fool on final. Opening of the E.W. P.R. We're told before Christmas but even that comes with a health warning from Michael Matheson. It's not open to the is a technical issues on the Dawn crossing. Aims to finish the bridge before Christmas but also but also warned that the media what's a complex video where the sensitive and subject to see 50 in quality tests should therefore treat this program with some caution and that report was from David shanks.

Just so they leave us there for Father adjustments to me to be made to the system for example the fost 5 weeks if there's a nonrefundable assessment payment to cover the people don't think and then today and they then doing you know that there's no exacerbate the feelings of physical and mental health that's dead it Mitchell there from Citizens Advice Scotland.

It made my skin crawl and I just felt so uncomfortable I couldn't sleep properly obviously having a daughter sharing a room with a 1st teen year old child is difficult because you have different bet you both want to do different things to both of us and it did have a bit of a detrimental effect on my daughter as well I mean she really struggled miles away from school and work the family spent 5 weeks there it's not fair to us just to be left like that and forgotten about because that's essentially what they do the sticky there and they forget about what happened to Joanna it's against the law councils are only supposed to use bed and breakfast accommodation to house families in an American city for a maximum of 7 days now figure sure that in Scotland's other big cities you could use your fingers to count the number of times that laws being broken in the course of a year in Edinburgh the figure runs into the hundreds ALISON WATSON who's the deputy director of the charity Shelter Scotland I think bluntly in Edinburgh there are literally aren't enough homes to put people into this is a very popular place to live it's a very popular place for 2 to stick come to it puts very acute pressures on the housing situation he'll need to cope with the scale of this problem or does it does it need I think that's a legitimate question to go back to government waste because we are seeing such an off the scale situation here Nathan but there were no seeing in other parts of Scotland the legislation gives you the power to intervene I mean you could mean a question for Scotland charging Minister Kevin Stewart in terms of intervention or I want to do is to make sure the Edinburgh city knew that they are currently doing is unacceptable.

Well I've been speaking to travel editor and broadcaster David BURTON I think 81 switching on the news or opening a newspaper will be aware of Ryanair as well cataloged walls especially between July on October I'd say when their network was affected by a series of strikes over pay and conditions they it wasn't just the pilots that were striking as cabin crew as well so for example I rang 300 Ryanair flights were cancelled in July when cabin crews in Belgium Portugal and Spain went on strike for about 40 hours and August in 1 of the biggest auctions Ryanair pilots were striking in 5 European countries and basically their results and consolations $50000.00 passengers were affected on 400 flights and that's what we're seeing today is the effect of on Ryan ear had been refusing then to P. Compensation why. Yeah they have been and basically flights within Europe are governed by this not believe named E.C. 261-2004. Same very sexy but it's a movie world wide by consumer groups because of high strong as in governing consolations delays for flights from airlines registered in the you are departing from the you are flying into the E.U. So basically if a flight is canceled passengers should be automatically entitled to recruiting airlines expanse a refund of their ticket if they want compensation for delays and Ryanair have been refusing to be a compensation for many because of agree area in that legislation is exempt if there are extraordinary circumstances of gold as it used to be known back in the day so the strikes are not God Well this is the question So weather conditions are obviously something they are right with the airlines control names strikes of their own stuff there is an argument that they are. Perhaps they are right with the airlines control perhaps they are now the C.E.O. Has taken their viewpoint that these are under the airlines control underwriters control and that they are not exempt from from paying compensation to extraordinary circumstances but Ryanair are saying that other courts have decided otherwise well that is what's happened it's an E.U. Why regulation and therefore courts in Germany when lives. Seem a similar sort of situation with cabin crew and pilots striking for 15 days the course in Germany said well they are extraordinary circumstances but it's the by individual country and how they interpret the rules and the C.E. In the U.K. Are seeing these are no extraordinary circumstances what do you think. I think that they are I think that a company like Ryanair is such a huge company I think they've maybe need to think a little bit more about their public image and fix them we've seen in the past that they maybe we've got a little bit of. Ryanair that you've maybe how to bad experience in the past and then you see one pattern fair to cause a little as I have done by self you get you know you get sucked back in and it's worth it so they can talk about traditional airlines I think that's a British Airways Virgin and perhaps Lufthansa these kind of companies that are maybe a bit more conscious about their public image. Are more likely to pay quicker but I think with Ryanair as I say I think there's a little bit of leisure that we have about traveling with that's the travel editor David Burton.

Radio Scotland travel and earlier on Good Morning Scotland. Must face the consequences for continued to break the law by housing homeless people in bed and breakfast accommodation for longer than a week I think. Are enough to put people into this is a very popular place to live it which is very acute creatures on the housing situation the Local Authority insists it's making progress talking a problem caused by lack of affordable housing in the capital imposed to the length of time that families are staying in being able to come down a huge shift and that has made a difference it's not good enough for we still have a lot of work to do Good morning Scott went back tomorrow morning from 6 on B.B.C. Radio Scotland. The U.S. Special Counsel Robert Miller says Donald Trump's former national security advisor Michael Flynn should not go to jail for lying to investigators Mr Miller is investigating alleged collusion with Russia in the 26000 election he says Mr Flynn has cooperated by giving 1st time details of contacts between the president's transition team and Russian government officials Well Tom Rivers is the London radio correspondent for the U.S. Broadcaster A.B.C. . What does this tell you then about the sort of information Flynn's been handing over I tell you it could cut both ways one because they're heavily redacted these court filings memos from from the Moeller team there could be a whole lot more in the pipeline or it could prove that if they've interviewed 19 different occasions Mr Flynn it could signify that there was nobody else out there and they kept going over the same same material with the same individual so I'm not sure where it's going to fly but keep watching this space we should learn pretty soon if you were the president you'd be one of the wouldn't you well again he's been harp on the same line it's a witch hunt it's a witch hunt basically what the the misdemeanor there Flynn actually did this was during the transition period as you say so after the election who had been the center of 2016 before the inauguration and he lied to the F.B.I. You actually met up with the Embassador the Russian ambassador to the U.S. Talking about a variety of things including the possibility of somewhere down the road lifting some sanctions that would have been a no no before the president Mr Trump actually took office that's what he was staring at as far as sentencing guidelines could have seen something like maybe up to 6 months but again not going to happen now and certainly in terms of the sentencing and reduction issue he has a big incentive to corporate IT DOESN'T HE does exactly but again others have taken a different tact it's interesting to see what. Going to happen down the road with people like Paul man a fort and we also have the lawyer for for Mr Trump or former lawyer Michael Cohen So it's going to it's going to be different it's going to fall different ways for different individuals how cooperative Have they been what information did they bring to the table and at the end of any of this information really relevant or not is it just a whole lot of you know as the president says wasting of time wasting of money and it doesn't really you know add up to a hill of beans we'll have to wait and see yet what huge impression then if you take it all together as to where this is heading I think it's taking longer and it's more extensive than I guess anyone had imagined were halfway through this term of the president when do we get to the end America wants to have an answer America likes decisions in sporting event they don't like draws they want to find an answer and mother is not forthcoming yet I think they would really do well to speed up the process what ever they have let the chips fall where they may because the country is kind of baying for that if they do find there was collusion then won't that's a good question what form did it take. And exactly what are the consequences you've got some pretty stiff sanctions right now on the various individuals for instance in in Moscow what what do you do for an encore and how do you defuse this issue how do you come down from the mountain there's a whole lot of questions that of course everybody was expecting a big puton and Trump long face to face in Argentina obviously it didn't happen it's going to have to happen somewhere down the road but with this grinding on in the background I don't see anything coming forth in the very near term time much to his supporters actually kid anyway depends upon which side you're on. You know you've got you've got the Democrats who are baying for blood you've got the you know the stalwarts in the Trump camp that say look this is this is in fact a witch hunt. And come forward with what you have and let's see it we're not there yet OK Tom reversed thank you very much. No a Dunkirk little ship which rescued $600.00 allied troops today in World War 2 is to be restored and turned into a floating museum on the River Clyde the Skylark none will be saved thanks 240-4000 pounds of funding from the National Lottery for the boots currently located at the Scottish maritime museum an urban widow reporter Laura McKeever spoke to Andy Cochrane who's chair of the Skylark trust the sculling was involved in cock him as one of the vessels of an over a. Operation dynamo 4 runs of 150 people were saved by the sport and for it to end up lying and that of a leven son can was. Wrong as a veteran of the war and it needed to be saved and I can stand here today a happy man because the future of the board has been a shield after the country had it is lot of fun today so you've heard of it there's got to be but tell us a bit of a football was doing between World War 2 and it's being used by the Royal OK moved during the U.K. And eventually ended up in the last moment that it was for 30 years and part of the board been and there was take in their local veterans up and down on remember Sunday is a huge part of the thing and what's involved in the commune in over the last 5 years we have phoned our real love a real you know with a passion for the board received it with the local people so pleased as a great for us today but it's also a fantastic for their western budget community and what we see Was it means that the. Navy divers get involved in nationally and helped us raise up we had to fire brigade pumps to pump the boyo and it's not agree it's the couple but but the love on the scale of the guy Martin museum here will hopefully have a buy floor to fund 2 years is the dream and describe the state of the book to an airport the task ahead is still the small holes in the should be. The border much left of a thing once is struck by air. The essence of the ball will always be the and so yes it's going to be a long road but why was this ball specialty for this K.G. We hold these years to to get to the point here right now where you actually have enough money to do this work well is to but to do with my other job can recover from addiction and I am am helping people and on The Late Show and the sport save loads of people and such and to people in the wall we've stepped in to save the ball and they're the boys an opportunity to save the lives of young men and women in our community with jobs and opportunities for training and education. So you know so 70 years on this boy is still 7 life's in the community so it's a wonderful story he must have some believe in that belief in that spirit and where that's come from because history is things that we Yeah I mean it's like a fairy tale story the whole thing and I had to be saved that's the thing the passion from the local community oppose the book you could feel it you know and it's something that we felt that with doggedly fought for us for 5 years and today as like a Christmas present ale is just a joy so what happens tonight and once the fault is actually stored what do you intend to do with it but once the ball is restored it will be returned to the bottom part of. A sale bring the heart of a little fairy people round to bomb castle up to the new nearly 50 bowling basements complete and be part of the community again which is really deserves to be and also part of that we're taking the veterans back OK and you have a team of taking it back to Pakistan supply and hopefully if they want to see one of their games we will see a lot back from a run back across to Don coaxed Johnny once again and speaking to Laura McKeever. Now it was the film that made Hugh Grant a start and put Wet Wet Wet at number one for weeks. It was here too much of that there's no comic relief short film that reunites the cast of 4 Weddings And A Funeral For the 1st time in 25 years a started filming One Red Nose Day and the wedding will feature the original cast members and is due to air next year well the film critics have on senator joins me know Shaun of the what picking up where they left off or do we know they're going to be coming back 25 years later which is interesting because 4 Weddings And A Funeral statistically speaking means that with one of the marriages ending of the most of the one divorce somewhere in the US Your prediction is well I mean there's already they were going to bring back Simon Callow because he died in the 1st film but they are bringing back Hugh Grant who of course interest in the internet 5 years has become a very different animal is much more of a serious actor he's likely to be Award nominated for playing Jeremy Thorpe in B.B.C. Series a very good scandal and they're bringing back John Hannah who of course is that has done all manner of things including in playing Rebus and and is about to appear again with B.B.C. Scotland in the New Year in the victim with Kelly Macdonald a new series that's supposed to be promising big things so interesting to get the cast at this particular point how much of an appetite is it to do this kind of thing well the love that she won went down very well and it was shown not just in the U.K. But in the U.S. Because they have sort of twin news days going on twin telethon so they're able to to expand their their audience and of course it is a very very popular cast plus on the McDowell. Were you a fan of the original you know I'm so old that I did press for the original and at the time I remember thinking It's quite a nice British film and it's a shame it probably won't go anywhere so don't take any of my recommendations for what's going to win awards and what's going to be big at the big box of it because I clearly don't know what I'm talking about that's why we've got you on your. I remember the big thing that was with Hugh Grant was the Madonna had just asked him out for a date and you re sort of fencing around that in the conversation not much changes really into any 5 years does it do you think we'll see a sequel then as a result of this a proper one well you know there's a T.V. Series based on 4 Weddings and if you know and it's being made right now and it's going to be out on one of the On Demand channels and we also know nought who will be the Oscars host next year there's one isn't it because they have to not be too controversial but here it is really isn't it well yes it's Kevin Hart the stand up comedian and already there's been a bit of a backlash reminding us that his passion in life is not entirely squeaky clean certainly a mentor of homophobic jokes in the past is past relationships have been. Terribly strong either but I think in any case it's interesting that the Oscar presentation has been seen has been the poison chalice that used to be the big thing Bob Hope shared it remember his best joke was welcome to the Oscar awards or is as it's known in my house Passover. And Billy Crystal was great but latterly you know it's into the place where you know your career comes to die James Franco and Anne Hathaway co-hosted it and they turned out to be some folks and Mick Fleetwood for anyone who also members Brits award disasters when it comes to hosting and just very briefly they are trying to boost their diversity to only trying to boost their diversity also trying to push their audience full stop because the audience for the Oscars has been going down and down year on year that really Earth suppose you have to build excitement of the film.
