In a sign of her intent, shes outlined plans to enshrine in law the exact moment that britain will leave the European Union 11pm on 29th march, 2019. But the man responsible for writing the article 50 withdrawal process cross bench peer lord john kerr says brexit could still be reversed. Our Political Correspondent emma vardy is in westminster. What has prompted the pledge from the Prime Minister . Call it theatrics, called it symbolic, this is theresa may publicly underlining her commitment to brexit. Her message is, we wont go against the democratic will of the british people. Listen to what she says in her article in the telegraph today. She says, let no one doubt our determination or question our resolve. Brexit is happening. She says, we will not tolerate attempts from any quarter to use the process of amendments to the eu withdrawal bill as a mechanism to try to block the democratic process. The eu withdrawal bill comes back to the commons to be debated by mps next week so it is no coincidence fi. ,, lord coe, the man who knows the nuts and of this and bolts of this clause. Lord coe, the author of article 50, is expected to say more today. We could change our minds at any stage according to an article that lord kerr has made for some time. Later on today he will say the country still has a free choice about whether to proceed. People are still entitled to take a different view. Will his intervention make any difference . He knows the score is better than anyone so he will add weight to arguments from remainers who say we should leave the door open to a second referendum to see if we want to go ahead with brexit at all. On the other hand, for those people that voted to leave, this has provoked outrage for some today. When you make interventions like this, you run the risk that people will say, you are just trying to go against the referendum result and backslide on the democratic result of the referendum as originally delivered by voters.

A new study is recommending a major change in the way women are screened for Cervical Cancer. It suggests those whove been vaccinated against the hpv virus need only have three smear tests during their life, rather than the 12 currently offered. Our Health CorrespondentSophie Hutchinson reports. Cervical cancer is a dangerous disease. Its also one of the most preventable cancers, but theres been concern about a steady drop in the number of women going for screening in the past few years. Currently, women aged 25 to 49 are offered smear tests every four every three years and then every five years from the age of 50 to 64, but for almost a decade girls aged ii to 13 have been given a vaccine against the cancer causing virus hpv. Todays study published in the internationaljournal of cancer says the vaccine reduces the chance of cancer by 70 and women who have had it only need to undergo three smear tests during their lives, instead of the normal 12, at the age of 30, a0 and 55. All Cervical Cancers are linked to hpv infection and having the vaccination dramatically reduces the chances of having the infection and also having Cervical Cancer. Screening looks for early changes that could suggest cancer is developing and quite simply having the vaccine means you are less likely to have those changes and less likely to develop cancer, so you dont need screening quite so often. The study comes ahead of changes being planned to the Screening Programme in england for 2019 and similar adjustment in scotland and wales. New, more advanced lab testing is expected to be introduced, which could mean fewer smear tests for all women, whether vaccinated or not.

More than half of schools in england fail to offer Computer Science gcse, according to a new report by the uks leading science academy. The Royal Society is calling for a ten fold increase in funding for computing education, which it says is patchy and fragile. Heres our technology correspondent, rory cellan jones. What effect does a binary shift left and a binary shift right have . In a classroom in saint albans, some budding young computer scientists are deep in their gcse course. This school is in a minority. Todays report says computer education is fragile and patchy, with too few pupils given the chance to enter the exam. Whats more, the subject is being largely avoided by girls. So what has made these students take it up . Our future is very much based around computers and technology is becoming a big part of society. I knew that it would be useful to have, and i could get a job easily. Maybe in other schools it might be viewed as slightly nerdy to do Computer Science, but i think it is quite respected at this school. The Royal Societys report says too many young people are missing out on vital Digital Skills. 54 of English Schools do not offer Computer Science as a gcse. Schools need 3500 more computing teachers. Only one in five Computer Science entrants are female. Both the teachers in this class have degrees in Computer Science, which makes them unusual. The Royal Society wants a big increase in spending on training new teachers. The computing industry says Digital Skills are vital for the uks future. If we want to remain a developed nation, a nation that is innovative, that provides products and services to drive us forward in the 21st century, we need people with advanced Digital Skills, in all industries and all sectors. The department for education says it wants to ensure the future workforce has the skills the uk needs. This report says that, without more computing teachers, that wont happen.

Lets get some sport now with damian johnson.

That is right, controversial and disappointing for Northern Ireland, looking to reach the world cup for the First Time Since 1986, playing against switzerland, the favourites to go through after a 1 0 victories because the referee awarded a penalty for handball by Northern Irelands coria them. Most people we re irelands coria them. Most people were convinced it struck him on the back or at best the shoulder but the referee believed otherwise. Ricardo rodriguez scored from the spot cue angry protests from the Northern Ireland players and supporters. Theres been outrage on social media. Bbc 5live presenter colin murray said the penalty decision was like refereeing from the dark ages. The Northern Ireland manager was left furious. It is staggering in this day and age when the stakes are so high at this level of the game that Something Like that, its obviously a gamechanger, but dwelling on it isnt going to help us. Whether it is the worst, whatever it is, whatever label you want to put on it is irrelevant. The most important thing is that we use it in the right way and overcome it, we channel it into the game on sunday night. They will play their second leg on sunday. Not only england will be wearing poppies when they take on germany at wembley tonight . Both sets of players will wear black armbands with poppies in remembrance of fallen servicemen and women. Fifa had previoiusly banned sporting them and the home nations were fined for doing so in november last year. Fifas argument had been that it was a political gesture but have now changed the rules and allowed the wearing of poppies if both teams are in agreement. They will also be using video assistant referee technology. This is technology to help the referee review incidents like goals, red cards, penalties. It could have helped Northern Ireland last night.

That is all the sport for now. Damian, thank you. Its been another fractious week in politics, with a second resignation at the top of theresa mays government, and questions about her future looming large. As brexit talks in brussels resume today, the Prime Minister has said she will not stand for any attempt by pro remain mps to try and block the Brexit Process and has announced that the date that britain will leave the eu march 29th, 2019, at 11pm will be written into law. With me in the studio is conservative Party Activist binita mehta parmar, and down the line from wakefield, samantha harvey. Alsojoining us down the line from his home in banbury is the former deputy Prime Minister lord heseltine. Lord heseltine first, from a strong and stable leadership to a cabinet in chaos, how much authority does theresa may have at this moment in time . She has the authority that rests on the fact the party cant agree about her successor. Its widely assumed will not fight the next election as leader of the tory party. There is a current vacuum and people are hoping somebody will emerge. Its a very fragile situation, extremely damaging to our ability to negotiate with the europeans. And it does not do us any good on the international stage, but the consequence of two things. First of all the election result, and second the cloud of brexit. Some eu leaders think she might not last until christmas. Do you agree . No, i dont think her departure is imminent. But you can see in your introduction the scale of the anxiety. There is a panic around the legislation, enshrining in law the precise time we will leave the European Union. It injects uncertainty at exactly the wrong moment. What is of growing concern is that to give time for brexit to work, and fixing in law the date, will merely accelerate peoples decision to take investment elsewhere and not to make investment here. Frankly, its a panic measure reflecting the growing anxiety that hostility to brexit is growing, and in order to make sure that Public Opinion doesnt get the chance to exert itself, they have now shoved in this time amendment. It wasnt in the original bill. So it isnt essential,. Isnt it the original bill. So it isnt essential,. Isnt it essential when their voices like yourself, do you still think brexit should be avoided . 0h, you still think brexit should be avoided . Oh, yes, its the biggest disaster in peace time in my lifetime. It is reducing the status of this country in a way which. How helpful is that for theresa may and the conservative party and the government . If you are already talking about a government and leadership in chaos, and a sense of panic, surely thats unhelpful. Well, it is unhelpful, but thats the situation we are in. There is a problem, and i will accept your point that we could all be very quiet and pretend all is well. But we will not fool anybody. Europeans are very sophisticated people and know exactly whats going on here. They read our newspapers and have ambassadors. For the british people to not know the scale of the debate thats going on and the anxieties thats going on and the anxieties that are now rife through industry, would be a disservice. This is a democracy and people are entitled to hear the arguments on both sides. One of the noxious features of this date being inserted into the legislation is that it is being done so legislation is that it is being done so there is a fixed a moment before people fully understand the nature of the deal thats on offer, and before people see the consequences. In other words, its trying to choke off the democratic process. This is not exactly the sort of sovereignty we we re not exactly the sort of sovereignty we were told we would regain. Or upholding a decision that was made democratically. Bringing in samantha at this point. Whats your response to what you have heard so far . |j have to say that i totally disagree with lord heseltines comments earlier on. First of all, theresa mays position is strong at the moment. We at the grassroots of the conservative party do support her andl conservative party do support her and i think shes doing a good job to negotiate the best deal for the british people. Lord heseltine has mentioned about democracy and the democratic process. We have gone through that last year. We are leaving the eu and we are going to be able to leave the eu on the 29th of march, 2019, at 11am. Going back over the same debate will not help us. Over the same debate will not help us. Are you happy with that, no matter what the terms are, deal or no deal, we dont know what the divorce bill will be, trade deals, how it w
