The week in parliament. Is it finally stage i, peace in our time, after the Prime Ministers failed plan from monday was attacked from all sides . If the price of the Prime Ministers approaches the break up of the union and reopening of bitter divides in Northern Ireland, then the price is too high. But theresa may insisted there will be no hard border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland. We aim to deliver this as part of our overall trade deal between the United Kingdom and European Union. Also on this programme the government says its abandoning a planned cap on social care costs in england. And ministers are urged to take action following president trumps decision to recognisejerusalem as israels capital.

In parliament, our look at the best of the day in the commons and the lords. On this programme the Prime Minister tells mps the interim brexit deal is good news for everyone.

But from the jaws of apparent defeat came apparent victory for th
Its pressure on the nhs which dominates the week. The labour leader mocks theresa may. We know that the Prime Minister recognises there is a crisis in our nhs, because she wanted to sack the Health Secretary last week but was too weak to do it. The Prime Minister defends her health policy. Preparations for winter in the nhs have been more extensive and meticulous than ever before. And is the head of the Energy Regulator ofgem just too laid back . Do you ever roll your sleeves up and really get stuck in, because i dont really see the evidence of that. But first. The government called it winter pressures, the opposition called it a winter crisis. New figures showed that last month 300,000 people had to wait longer than they should have at accident and Emergency Departments in england. These were the worst figures since the targets were introduced in 200a. The labour leader led the attack at Prime Ministers questions.
