In the uk after brexit . We have exclusive new information. Good evening and welcome to bbc news. President trump has suffered a major defeat tonight over one of his Biggest Campaign pledges his vow to reform americas healthcare system, known as obamaca re. Mr trump was facing Opposition Notjust from democrats but from his own party in congress. The president had staked his personal authority on his scheme, issuing an ultimatum to the republicans that hed drop it altogether, if they didnt back him. But tonight, just minutes before the vote, he was forced to abandon his plans dramatically, after being told he simply didnt have enough support. Our North America Editorjon Sopel reports from washington. Mr Vice President , do you have the vote 7 a day of truly frantic meetings and phone calls, as the Vice President , mike pence, went to the hilt to try to secure the votes needed to Pass Health Care reform trumpcare. And the usual tools deployed, a mixture of menace and flattery. But it wasnt going well. My vote is still a no. If anybody tells you for certain they know what is go to happen, they are lying. The situation is still very fluid. And if concessions are made to the right of the republican party, you lose the moderates, and vice versa. At the white house, there were no attempts to distance themselves from the legislation. The president s spokesman saying donald trump had done everything he could. There is no question, in my mind, at least, that the president and the team have left everything in the field. We have called every member with a question and concern, taking into consideration the strength of the bill. But there was one definitive statement about how the day would unfold. Obviously, later today, the house will vote on the American Health care act, the current vote is scheduled for 3 30pm. Except it didnt, with Journalists Prowling every corridor, doubts started to creep in and then the Bombshell Announcement after the speaker, paul ryan, went to see the president to tell him they didnt have the votes. We came close, today, but we came up short. I spoke to the president , just a little while ago, and told him the best thing to do was to pull the bill and he agreed. I will not sugar coat this. This is a disappointing day. Doing big things is hard. And the president was defiant in defeat. Ive been saying for the last year and a half, that the best thing we can do, politically speaking, is let obamacare explode. It is exploding right now. But on the campaign trail, donald trump said it would be easy. And this was his pledge that every rally. Obamacare has to be replaced. We go to get rid of obamacare, which is a disaster. Repealing and replacing the disaster known as obamacare and the author of the art of the deal said only he could deliver it. If you cant make a good deal with a politician, then there is something wrong with you. Youre certainly not very good. Hey hey, ho ho, donald trump has got to go protestors were vocal in their opposition to the reform plan, which could have seen 2a million americans lose their health insurance. West virginia was solidly behind donald trump last november. John ingram, a retired miner, articulated an uncertainty that echoes around the country. I hope to god that they realise what they are actually doing. In effect, they are dealing with life and death situations. For notjust me, but for millions of people. Do you use the rapid insulin, too . At the Cabin Creek Health centre, they are watching these proposed changes with alarm. Its the disturbing to think that, you know, we have made some gains to take that away is especially difficult. It is disheartening. For patients. Yesterday, donald trump Clambered On Board a giant truck. Today, his politicaljuggernaut came to a grinding halt. Make no mistake, this is a huge embarrassment and setback. Here, Counter Terrorism police are trying to establish whether the man who launched the attack on westminster was working alone or with others. Police have released the first image of the attacker, 52 year old Khalid Masood, who was born in kent, and named adrian elms at birth. Tonight, seven people who were arrested have now been released. Four are still being questioned. Heres our special correspondent lucy manning. The face of Khalid Masood. The face that confronted Police Officers at parliament. The face that looked out of the car at pedestrians, as he knocked them over. The 52 year old was known by a number of names. Born adrian elms in kent, by the time he was at Huntleys Secondary School for boys in tunbridge wells, he was called adrian ajao, after his mother got married. School friends remembered him as a sporty pupil, who liked to party. Adrian was a nice lad, a fun guy, always laughing, always joking. Worked reasonably hard. Good at sport. Played rugby very well. Just an unassuming guy. But masood was soon developing a reputation for violence. In the sleepy Sussex Village of northiam, where he lived in his 20s, at the local pub he slashed a man in the face with a knife and was sent to jail. He didnt have a very good reputation, definitely. I remember he was a bit of a troubled character, i think is probably the way to describe it. A Family Friend said this wasnt the only time aidy, as he was known in the village, turned violent. A chap was looking at aidy. I was just sitting at the pool table and i happened to look over and he took umbrage against the landlord for looking at him like he was, and he flew over the bar. And luckily i was really close, because he got a glass, he was going to do him. He was likejekyll and bloody hyde. He said he thought he felt affected by racism. He said to me, he said, to be honest with you, i dont like myself. He said, i dont like my skin. Masood spent time in three prisons, hmp lewes, wayland and ford. He worked as a teacher in saudi arabia in 2005 and again, in 2008. Hed already converted to islam by them. Hed already converted to islam by then. His mother now lives in a remote farmhouse in carmarthenshire, which detectives searched yesterday. They havent been, from what i understand, in any sort of contact with their son for well over 20 years, and at the end of the day, when it comes to terrorism, unfortunately nobody can be responsible for the action of their children. Masood, we now know, launched his Terror Attack after staying overnight at a hotel in brighton. He stayed in room 228. He seemed happy, staff said, untroubled by what he was about to do. That he was about to leave his hotel room to drive to london to kill. He was joking and smiling and friendly. He was a very, very friendly person, when he walked in. The receptionist said, hes a lovely guest, iliked him. She put comments in the system, you know, as a nice guest. There was nothing in his conduct or demeanour that would have made me get a feeling that theres Something Weird about this guy. And hesjust on his way to commit mass murder. Detectives have searched the hotel and there have been more raids, more arrests. In manchester, a car was taken away by police in didsbury and two arrests, described by Senior Officers as significant, were made there and in the West Midlands. The police are still trying to build a picture of a man who came here to attack westminster. They say their main aim now is to try and work out if he was acting alone, inspired by terrorist propaganda, or if there are others, still out there who encouraged him, supported, or even directed this attack. But its clear there are still gaps in the polices knowledge. What were appealing to today is to the public, to say, if, even in hindsight now, you realise something about Khalid Masood, something about his associates, something about his movements, somethign about planning, now is the time to come forward and speak to our officers. A bright student, turned violent man, turned terrorist. No one is still sure how, or why. Lucy manning, bbc news, westminster. 17 people remain in hospital tonight after the westminster attacks six of them are in a critical condition.

Travis frain, a student from lancashire, was asked by the prince what he remembered of the attack and how he was being cared for in hospital. The visit was also a chance for staff to reflect on what they themselves have had to deal with. It was inspiring, the way people just worked together and communicated to deal with the patient in front of them. It didnt matter how many would be coming. You knew you would just keep working. In westminster, as the number of tributes continued to grow, so too did the number of People Killed in the attack. Friends and neighbours here in clapham, south london, are mourning the loss of Leslie Rhodes. He was 75 years old and a retired window cleaner. He would clean the windows without even asking.

Churchill. How do you balance that when it comes to brexit negotiations, on the one hand, wa nted negotiations, on the one hand, wanted to keep eu close uk, but on the other went into separate. What it comes negotiations, we will never said in a frank way, that we had to say it in a frank way, if airway, and not be naive. So what of the over £50 billion that the commission has demanded written pay before it leaves the eu, covering long term budget commitments, for example . There will be no sanctions. No punishment. Nothing of that kind. But britain has to know, and i suppose that the government does know it, they have two honour the commitments and the former commitments. To the tune of £50 billion . I was mentioning that years ago, £50 billion, £60 billion, it is around that. But that is not the main story. We have two calculate scientifically.

Today Police Issued an appeal for information to anyone who can shed light on whether the westminster attacker, Khalid Masood, acted alone or was directed by others. Police made two more significa nt arrests, taking the total to ii six of whom were released tonight with no further police action. Three vehicles were seized by police after an armed raid on a house in birmingham. Masood, who had used a number of aliases, was believed to have been living in the West Midlands before the attack. He had previously spent time in west sussex, east sussex, london and went to school in tunbridge wells, kent. John sweeney has been looking more into the man responsible for the deaths of four people and injuring 50 others. Khalid masood grew up in the garden of england. This is the story of a Home Counties boy, who went on to strike terror in the heart of london. Masood was Born Adrian Elms on christmas day, 1964. His birth was registered in dartford, kent. But he grew up in tunbridge wells, where he most often used the surname ajao, that of his mothers new husband. He went to a Secondary Modern School in tunbridge wells, where he was known as adrian ajao, a mixed race people in a primarily white school. He was always laughing, always joking. He was good at sport and played rugby well. Just an unassuming guy. At some point after finishing school, adrian moved to this village in sussex. Convicted for criminal damage at the age of 18, he stood out. I was under the impression that he was a black man in a white mans pub, you know . And he was going to fight for it. I said, look. I dont care if you are black or white. I am quite happy to have a drink with you. If you want to buy me one now, im happy to take it i cannot even remember if he bought me one or not, he shook my hand. Was he funny and intelligent . Yes. But some people in the village saw a nasty side to adrian. In 2000, adrian elms, that was his name before he changed it to masood, got into a fight with another local. In the village boozer. The fight turned nasty, the local paper reported there were racial overtones and the other man ended up with a slash on the side of his face needing 20 stitches. Adrian elms was sent to prison. When you heard the news about the attack in westminster, what was your reaction . Well, it was put over that it was a terrorist attack. But, having known him and what i found out tonight, he was just a crazy man. Mind you, i dont know how you could recognise him since, but he was not a terrorist here. A drinker . He was, yes. From here, to prison to eastbourne, and there, the first suggestion of an interest in islam. A friend at the time has told the bbc that he was using cocaine at the time and also reading the koran. In 2003 there was a fight outside of this nursing home and in december he was found guilty of possessing a knife. His last conviction aged just shy of a0. He was still adrian elms. In november 2005, he first travelled to saudi arabia, and used the name Khalid Masood. In all, he spent two years there, teaching english. He taught here, at the saudi Civil Aviation authority, injeddah. In 2010, Khalid Masood was back in blighty, in luton, we believe, teaching english. He had two children at the time he was here, they appeared to be Primary School children. He had a People Carrier and would load his children into a People Carrier with child seats. He was a portly gentleman, and frequently wearing tracksuit bottoms. And also would be wearing slip on moccasins, quite relaxed attire, i would say. Always gardening. By last year, he popped up in londons east end. There had been searches there two. He moved to birmingham, most recently it seems in ladywood. Before that, winson green. He would help me to jump start my car. He was nice, a nice family. He would drop his kids at school. Normal stuff. You would never think anything dodgy, of all of their neighbours on the road. Last week, Khalid Masood returned south to the part of the country where adrian elms had grown up. He stayed here, in this room. He was joking, smiling and friendly. He was a very friendly person when he came in. Actually, the receptionist said that he was a lovely
