To 5 Celsius You're listening to B.B.C. 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 UKI not lawfully exit without E.U. Agreement or 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 primaries 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 Blackfoot asked about he said the published legal advice showed the backstop would last indefinitely the legal advice is clear that states despite statements on the protocol that is not intended to be permanent and come national law the protocol would endure and definitely change 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 point 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 the 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 Blackwood that food 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 me advice M.P.'s feel like they're going to court 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 Dodds 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 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 turn against you so it's not great for to resume a and it feels like actually M.P.'s are starting to talk more about what happens the day after that vote in parliament because it looks like she's going to lose it Mark Hoppus says he wants to see the Prime Minister show that she's listened and go 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 at Westminster that was our political correspondent Rajdeep son do. 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 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 Daunte caused the timetable to be pushed back and costs pushed up Steve into our situation as of today where the joint venture partners are hundreds of millions out of pocket as a consequence of the work we've been doing on a pretty Separately we have a claim for a not insignificant son that 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. Louis McDonald pushed Steven Tyler for a number on the final cost can you simply indicate for your claim against Transport Scotland is in the 10s of millions of the hundreds of millions that's not something that I. I would want to answer here. Because of the commercial nature of the discussions that we're having I was to produce that the total cost of the project is over a $1000000000.00 pounds you would accept that that's probably. Something from what we've said you could use those are the rules 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 be Dieter to support any such clean tax payer can't be in a position but it simply accepts a clean that is large by contract on the basis of the think even cult of additional course not seen you do you mean not have a clean what I'm saying is that to do saw the need to be able to substantiate it and produce the evidence to demonstrate it so where does this leave us today part of the road that has been complete since Oct 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 course lies with the contractor who are pursuing a claim with the Scottish Government asked for the full and final opening of the AWB P.R. We're told before Christmas but even that comes with a health warning from Michael Matheson The only reason that the ADA is not open today is a technical issues on the door and crossing it aims to finish the bridge before Christmas but also but also warned that that remedial watts of complex very aware are sensitive and subject to see if the in quality tests and we should therefore treat this program with some caution and that report was from David shanks.

Just a day and we've asked for Father adjustments to me to be made to the system for example in the fost 5 weeks if there's a nonrefundable assessment payment to cover the people don't thing and until death and they then do in you know that doesn't exacerbate the feelings of physical and mental health that's dead it Mitchell there from Citizens Advice Scotland.

Hosing charity says Edinburgh Council must face consequences for continuing to break the law by housing homeless families in bed and breakfast accommodation for longer than a week the Local Authority insists it's making progress tackling a problem caused by a lack of affordable housing in the capital but with ministers describing the situation as an acceptable shelter Scotland says it's legitimate to ask whether the city can cope on its own Stephen garden reports. Found herself homeless around 2 months ago after her relationship broke down with a teenage daughter to look after a room in an Edinburgh bed and breakfast was her only option she filmed it on our mobile phone to protect her identity we've disguised her voice there's nowhere to cook there's nowhere to wash clothes and we share a bathroom with everyone else this floors not been cleaned in the 4 weeks I've been here the C.C.T.V. In the corridor this is more of a prison than as a home sitting on a park bench she recalls the experience 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 13 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 be 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 tutors to come into it puts very acute pressures on the housing situation he'll need to commit cope with the scale of this problem or as it does it need I think that's a legitimate question to go back to Government way because we are seeing such an off the scale situation he'll need them but they were not seeing in other parts of Scotland the legislation gives you the power to intervene I mean you could me a question for Scotland's Housing 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 that the past for improvement I'll be meeting with the leader in the hazing convener of Aden brainiacs week to continue discussions I rang the bank the situation. For Edinburgh Council the solution to a complex problem lies in bricks and mortar they're aiming to build 25.

And B.'s roughly a quarter what it was in April of course behind every statistic is a human story the council's offer of a temporary flat. Has taken a turn for the better is such a relief it really does feel like a massive weight has been taken off my shoulders because I was so scared that I was going to be in there for Christmas I don't think it's fair to anyone to have to live like that.

And conditions though it wasn't just the pilots that were striking as cabin crew as well so for example I rang 300 Ryanair flights were canceled 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 resultant consolations 50000 passengers were affected on 400 flights and that's what we're seeing today is the effect of the on Ryanair 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 rerouting the airline's expanse refund of their ticket if they want compensation for delays and Ryanair have been refusing to be a compensation for many of agree area in that legislation and is exempt if there are extraordinary circumstances of gold as it used to be known back in the day so the strikes are not to gold. Well this is the question So weather conditions are obviously something that 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 sea 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's not what's happened it's an E.U. Why regulation and therefore courts in Germany when. The seem a similar sort of situation with cabin crew and pilots striking for 15 days then courts in Germany said well they are extraordinary circumstances but it's the individual country and interpret the rules and the see 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 either fix them we've seen in the past that they maybe we've got a lot of amnesia Ryan or that you have maybe how to bad experience in the past and then you see one pain fair to cause a little as I have done by self and you get you know you get sucked back in and it's worth it so they can't on the 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. News drive 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 what at 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 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 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 well have to wait and see yeah it was 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 this Asians in sporting event they don't like draws they want to find an answer and Muller 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 define use 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 how 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 trunk 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 name 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 wood i 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. Operation dynamo 4 runs of 150 people were saved by the sport and for it to end up lying and that of a live in 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 grant from the editors lot of fun today that you've heard of it this got to Dave attempts a bit of a put the ball 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 book been on the air was thick 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 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 the. Navy divers get involved in nationally and helped us raise up we had 2 fire brigade pumps to pump the boyo and it's not agree it's the couple but but the love and the skill of the guys said Martin museum here will hopefully have a by floor to fund 2 years is the dream and describe the state of the book to an airport the task ahead is still there's more holes in it than I should be. The Wouldn't much left of I think once it struck by air. The essence of the ball will always be there and so yeah it's going to be a long road but why was this specialty for this K.G. We hold these years to get to the point right now where you actually have enough money to do this work well as to what to do with my other job can recover from addiction and I'm am helping people and on The Late Show and the sport save loads of people and such under people in the war 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 it's you know so 70 years on us boys still serve in lifes in the community so it's a wonderful story. You must have some believe in the belief in its spirit and where that's come from because history things that yeah I mean it stays like a fairytale story of the whole thing and I had to be saved that's the thing the passion from the local community opposed the boat you could feel it you know and it's something that we felt that with doggedly fought for us for 5 years and today is like a Christmas present ale is just a joy so what happens now and once the book 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 running to bomb castle up to their new nearly 30 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 Erica and you have a team of taking it back to Pakistan supply and hopefully if they want to see one of the again we will see a lot back from a run to get back across to Don coaxed Johnny once again Andy Kaufman speaking to Laura McKeever. Now it was the film that made Hugh Grant a star impute Wet Wet Wet at number one for weeks. If you want to hear 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 has 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 she's one of the what picking up where they left off doing or 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 any of the most of the one divorce somewhere in the U.S. 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 you know 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 when done very well and it was shown not just in the U.K. But in the U.S. Because they have sort of twin nose 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 their 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 a Madonna had just asked him out for a date and you resort to fencing around that in the conversation not much changes really into any 5 use 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 as I said you know 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 this some folks and Mick Fleetwood for anyone who also remembers 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 boost their audience full stop because the audience for the Oscars has been going down and down year on year but really I suppose you have to build excitement to the film. In the hosts thanks for that she was a bit. On the Digital Radio $92.00 to $95.00 and each one on Medium Wave B.B.C. Radio stuff.
