People into poverty. Shes sold everything, she sold her telly, her mobile phone. She sold everything. Shes got nothing left apart from the couch we are sat on and the bed she sleeps in, she has nothing left. A gang of thieves who committed crimes on mopeds over 100 times are jailed for more than 13 years. Good evening and welcome to bbc news. The Prime Minister and her chancellor appeared to be at odds today in planning for the possibility of the uk leaving the eu without a deal. Philip hammond told mps that taxpayers money will not be set aside for a no brexit deal until the very last moment. Butjust over an hour later, theresa may said the government is committing money to prepare for every brexit eventuality including no deal £250 million this year. Pro brexit mps rounded on the chancellor, with one calling the treasurys behaviour incompetent bordering on dishonest. 0ur Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg reports. Number 11, where the money is counted. Number 10, where decisions are made. And behind that scaffolding, number 9 downing st, where brexit plans are made. But when it comes to paying insurance policies in case it all goes wrong, the government cant yet agreed. Chancellor. The chancellor this morning saying we shouldnt pay that much, at least not yet. I dont believe that we should be in the business of spending, of making potentially nugatory expenditure until the very last moment when we need to do so. So we will be ready, we will spend the money in a timely fashion to ensure that we are ready but we will not spend it earlier than necessary. In other words, hes not in the mood to sign off brexit billions just in case there is a deal. Yet cabinet sources suggest when ministers met yesterday, when they actually got in. Front door, please that there was a row around the table about precisely that. Number 10 admits there was a brief conversation but denied a ding dong. Yet brexit backers are cross with what they see as the treasurys resistance and are demanding promises now. He needs to do the sums and i think you need to set aside precisely the sort of sums that we need which i would imagine would run into billions of pounds. But what we cant have is a state of affairs where if we do terminate the negotiations or the eu indicates that it is not prepared to do a deal with us, we are then left scrambling. I think the treasurys behaviour, both in the run up to the 23rd ofjune last year and subsequently, has been incompetent and bordering on the dishonest. It is certainly no secret many of her backbenchers are suspicious of her next door neighbour. And the Prime Minister was oh so sadly given the chance by a prominent brexiteer to give her view. Oh so subtly. Could she confirm then that all money necessary will be allocated as and when required to this project . We are preparing for every eventuality. We are committing money to prepare for brexit, including a no deal scenario. In some cases, departments will need to spend money before the relevant legislation has gone through the house. Where money needs to be spent, it will be spent. He nodded along but to the brexiteers ears, that sounded like a slap on the wrist for Philip Hammond. But for labour, another sign of tory wars. Everywhere you look, its a government in chaos. She is afraid of the most right wing rabid elements in her own party. She was having none of that. The honourable lady could not be more wrong. The chancellors team believe hisjob is to be realistic about the future. Chancellor, have you got the brexiteers onside . But hes a target for brexiteers who dont believe hes optimistic enough about what is next. Daily demands, daily tensions, right inside the government machine. 0ur Political Correspondent alex forsyth is at westminster. Are they saying the same thing but it just does not are they saying the same thing but itjust does not sound like it . Number ten has been keen to play down any suggestion of a huge bust up down any suggestion of a huge bust up or internal rift over this particular issue, and if you look at the details on paper than broadly, yes, they are saying the same. What theresa may said today about the £250 million for brexit preparations, i understand it was agreed with him last four months. Although it is new to us it is not new, per se. But although it is new to us it is not new, perse. But despite although it is new to us it is not new, per se. But despite what they say outwardly there is, as we know, very big differences at the heart of government emre to the conservative party and read through parliament about the approach to brexit, and not just that but what the uk should look like as a country afterwards and what its relationship with the European Union should be. We will keep getting these differences played out to some degree in public at the very senior levels of government, that isjust at the very senior levels of government, that is just a sign of what theresa may has to juggle as she goes into negotiations. She is not just dealing she goes into negotiations. She is notjust dealing with negotiations with brussels but also with differences in her own team. Philip hammond said he doesnt want no deal, is he edging towards their having to be a deal by saying i am not putting money aside until the last minute . He said he agreed with theresa may that there would have to be planning for all contingencies and there is this £250 million there for that, but he said he would not apply lots and lots of money into infrastructure for things like the borders, for example, what would happen with customs checks when lorries are queueing up the ports. His argument was there was no point spending a vast sum up now, it would have to wait until nearer the point where they might not be a deal. It is clear that chancellor Philip Hammond wants to Reach Agreement with the European Union, but that is also the position of the government, and theresa may has said she is optimistic about that and denied the fa ct optimistic about that and denied the fact today that she was ramping up rhetoric over the possibility of no dealjust to rhetoric over the possibility of no deal just to focus minds rhetoric over the possibility of no dealjust to focus minds in brussels, but there is a school of thought that thinks that is exactly what the government is doing. A handful of people think a no deal would be a good scenario is very small, there is a very small minority in the conservative party who might think that a good option, but broadly the government and certainly brussels want a deal to be reached, i think that is still what they are working to put up the same time recognising that with the clock ticking on the negotiations they had to get real about the possibility of no deal, too. Thank you, alex in westminster. And well find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrows front pages at 10 a0pm this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are jim waterson, Political Editor at buzzfeed, and caroline wheeler, deputy Political Editor at the sunday times. The british wife of hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has announced shes leaving him following a torrent of allegations of Sexual Harassment and rape from a number of actresses. She described her husbands alleged behaviour as unforgivable. Angelina jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow are the latest women to come forward and the 0bamas have added their voice to the condemnation of a man who was one of the most powerful in hollywood. Bafta has suspended mr weinsteins membership. Nick bryant reports. The namesjust keep on coming. From a list actresses to women who just wanted to break into the movie and tv industry. 0ne after one, claiming Harvey Weinstein sexually abused or harassed them. He denies many of the accusations. But now his wife of ten years has decided to leave him, horrified by what she has been hearing. The British Fashion Designer Georgina Chapman described her husbands actions as unforgivable and said, my heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain. The new zealand model zoe brock claimed the producer harassed her the Cannes Film Festival in the late 1990s. Harvey walked out of the room and came back in naked. He came back naked . Naked. What did you say . And he said that he wanted a massage, could i give him a massage . And i said no. The british actress romola garai says she was left feeling violated when weinstein auditioned her as an 18 year old. Harvey developed a love of reading. From a stage at the white house michelle 0bama once lauded this Major Democratic Party fundraiser. This is possible because of harvey. He is a wonderful human being. But finally the 0bamas, whose oldest daughter malia conducted an internship at the Weinstein Company this summer, have issued a statement saying they are disgusted. Silver linings playbook. But this joke at the oscars nomination ceremony four years ago begs the question, what did hollywood know and when did it know it . Congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein. This is the headquarters of the Weinstein Company, which sacked its co founder on sunday. It is said to be considering a change of name. The Company Faces the same questions as the industry as a whole. Did it protect him . Did it enable him . Was this an open secret that friends and colleagues simply chose to ignore . As the revelations keep coming, so do the repercussions. Bafta has just suspended weinstein from its membership, effective immediately. The call for accountability is getting louder. All of this harassment, its absolutely horrible. I feel terrible for the women and im glad they are speaking out. I think it takes a lot of guts. Maybe we are at a Tipping Point. Weinstein is said to be seeking treatment but friends and colleagues are repelling a mogul who this time last week was one of the most powerful and most magnetic personalities in movies. Nick bryant, bbc news, new york. Lets talk to Time Magazine contributor and authorjay newton small, who is in washington. Thank you very much forjoining us on bbc news, jay. That this is happening now, what does it tell us about what is happening in hollywood, particularly regarding these leading women . I think we are reaching a Tipping Point in the sense that we see about 26 of female representation in producers now, you see those producers now, you see those producers moving to a point more women directors, to push for more women directors, to push for more women writers and more women actresses on screen time for them, this has been a discussion in hollywood that has been ongoing particularly in the last couple of yea rs, particularly in the last couple of yea rs , we particularly in the last couple of yea rs, we have particularly in the last couple of years, we have heard lots of women raise their voices, for example Patricia Arquette at the oscars when she accepted the oscar for best supporting actress demanding equal pay, and meryl streep getting up on her feet, cheering her. Pay, and meryl streep getting up on herfeet, cheering her. Jennifer lawrence, another actress, writing saying that she wants equal pay. This movement is notjust talking about Sexual Harassment are not being treated as an object but also women saying when you have an industry where 63 of screen time for women, they are talking about romantic relationships and more than 50 of screen time for men they are talking about work, you are clearly not saying you are treating women are taking women see risky. What needs to change and what are the signs that it might . You see more and the signs that it might . You see more and more women the signs that it might . You see more and more women speaking out, i think Harvey Weinstein is a great victory for women in hollywood to stand up and say no, i will not ta ke to stand up and say no, i will not take this. You see other women standing up, just today ben affleck tweeted an apology because he was accused by an actress almost a decade ago or more of groping her on a television set. Just the sense that we will not take this quietly any more, we will speak out when men do this to us and we will not be afraid of the repercussions, i think that goes a really long way. Being able for women to see what has happened to Harvey Weinstein and it will embolden them in the future to be comfortable speaking out when men attempt to do something similar. How many more attempt to do something similar. How many more execs, attempt to do something similar. How many more execs, dont name anybody, please, in hollywood might be quaking in their boots . |j anybody, please, in hollywood might be quaking in their boots . I think you will see a lot of executives and, frankie, actors in hollywood who are probably pretty afraid because there are a lot of really bad actors and people who have really terrible reputations. This is something that i think is really good, this purge that goes on with fox news, when an industry begins to look at itself much more critically and say is this 0k look at itself much more critically and say is this ok for women to be treated this way . When roger ailes left fox news, a whole group of male reporters followed him out because they also had bad reputations. How influential is hollywood on the rest of American Society . Women who had nothing to do with the film industry, say, see famous women standing upfor industry, say, see famous women standing up for themselves, does it have a knock on effect . Is absolutely, that is what really is powerful, you see women standing up is powerful, you see women standing up in poulose in hollywood, so powerful and famous. It would be different if they were women doctors 01 different if they were women doctors or scientists, i think it would be no less important but the fact that it is so public right now when such famous faces really speaks for something and emboldened people and women across the country whether they are scientists, doctors or in other positions to say, you know what, if these women can stand up and say it is not acceptable that i am objectified and sexually harassed, groped, raped, frankly, with harvey when steam, i will not ta ke with harvey when steam, i will not take it and i will report this. I think it is really great it is so public and causing such a few raw. We will get there in the end. Jay, thank you very much.
