Increasing food prices were offset by falls in the cost of fuel. Four times olympic champion mo farah is knighted by the queen at Buckingham Palace. And well be talking to americas new ambassador to the uk, woodyjohnson, one of President Trumps oldest friends, in his first broadcast interview since taking up residence in london. Its 5 oclock. Our main story is that the house of commons has started debating legislation designed to incorporate eu law into british law in preparation for brexit. Some 500 amendments have been tabled to the European Union withdrawal bill. Yesterday, in an apparent concession, ministers announced that parliament would be given a vote on the final deal agreed with brussels but mps were subsequently told that, if they voted against, the uk would the leave the European Union without a formal deal. 0ur political correspondent, alex forsyth, has the latest on the debate. Pages and pages long. This is the bill that will bring all eu law into uk law ready for the day of departure, so there is no legal black hole when we leave. There is disagreement on some of the detail. That became clear when mps started to go through the bill line by line today. The government intends the United Kingdom to leave the eu on the 29th of march 2019 and we intend to put that on the face of the bill. What he is planning for and he should be frank is no deal. He has 110 should be frank is no deal. He has no mandate from the british people to do that. They are still claiming this bill is not fit for purpose and it usurps parliamentary subtree when in fact it does the opposite. Yesterday the government tried to offer an olive branch to those concerned, promising a new act of parliament on the final brexit deal. That is something that some mps had pressed for. This future actor pim would put the Withdrawal Agreement between the uk and the eu into law when it was negotiated, including things like citizens rights, the financial settlement, and details of any transition period. Mps will be able to examine and vote on the deal when both sides reached agreement. They have said they want to achieved a Withdrawal Agreement deal by 0ctober next year. That will give Parliament Time to vote on and discuss the legislation make sure parliament has the final say on the Withdrawal Agreement and the rotation period. According to ministers, mps will have a crucial say. Not all agree with the government. Their critics say take a deal or leave without one is not a choice at all. Not only does not give mps the final say because they are being offered a false choice but it could come very late, at the 23rd hour, which would not give us time to do anything to stop it or ask the government to think again. To do anything to stop it or ask the government to think againm to do anything to stop it or ask the government to think again. It is com pletely government to think again. It is completely meaningless. The government had hoped by putting the final sir mo deal into law, it would appease mps with concerns. Brexit deal. Some of theresa mays own mps are threatening to vote against her. A lot of people, more than i would ever have imagined who are deeply loyal backbenchers that many ex ministers, people of real standing and credibility are so cioss standing and credibility are so cross about this they may well vote against the party whip. So, parliament is set to become something of a brexit battle ground. This, just the start of complex laws which must be passed. Each one a test of the governments authority. Lets speak to our chief political correspondent, vicki young. These hundreds of the moment we have been talking about. Which groups of ones constitute the biggest concern for the government . There are two. 0ne we have been hearing about today which is the idea of a set fixed brexit date. The problem for the government is labour has announced they will oppose it when it comes to a vote. That is not going to happen today even though they have been talking about it today but that comes later in the process in the next few weeks. We have hearing from people like ken clarke who called it a ridiculous sop. We heard from Dominic Grieve, the former attorney general, saying it was a strange amendment that set as the government. That is the concern of some mps that you might not be able to extend the negotiations, for example, with the European Union if other eu countries were to agree. They are worried about being boxed in. The other area which is more about the process is the powers ministers insist they need just to get through the amount of work they have to get through to make sure british law is in good shape once they leave the European Union. That could also prove a problem for theresa may, again not imminently, but it could be where we have to see some compromises from the government. An interesting point from ken clarke. An argument that had been going on since the referendum. An argument about the mandate. What did the referendum say to parliament and mps question at what powers did it give to them . We are leaving the European Union but the referendum did not decide how we are leaving European Union. All of thatis are leaving European Union. All of that is up to mps, house of commons and the house of lords. That is why they are insisting they should have powers and responsibilities to make sure this is a smooth brexit that works for everyone. That argument will continue for many weeks to come. On parliamentary numbers, when we hear and subaru saying there are considerable numbers prepared to d efy considerable numbers prepared to defy their own party whips, is she overstating it . You never quite know, do you . There was talk about mps define the government on article 50 and in the end ken clarke was the only conservative who voted against triggering article 50. Some conservatives say it is different this time around and they are angry and they realise this is the moment where they have to act. The labour party is divided on this as well. We heard from people like frank field on the brexit sign of the argument. Some labour mps will vote with the conservatives. Side of the argument. At the moment is is hard to say whether they have what they need or not. The one about the fixed date for brexit will not start of the last day of committee, which will come sometime in december. Lets stay on this story and on the issue about the amendments. The former conservative attorney general Dominic Grieve has put his name to a total of 21 amendments to the European Union withdrawal bill. Speaking in the commons, he condemned plans to put the date we leave the eu on the statute books. Here is the government that has created a great crisis. Appears to have offered this as a sop to those people who really would like us to leave the eu without a deal at all and are just egging on the government to do that. Actually they have a provision they themselves have put into the bill to negate it if that were necessary. This highlights to me that we are not behaving in a grown up fashion. There are really important issues that need to be considered in this legislation and this playing around with a very complex piece of legislation is not helpful. That was the former attorney general. Pretty much acknowledged and respected expert in these fields, Dominic Grieve, giving us his view short while ago. Joining us from westminster is conservative member of parliamentjohn penrosem who has co authored six amendments to the to the European Union withdrawal bill. Which amendment would you go with first . I would go with those on the henry viii powers, limiting the ability of a minister to impose all sorts of new changes to add new laws with minimal parliamentary scrutiny. There is a very good case for having some limited powers are making sure we have a statute book that works on the day after we leave europe, the same as it did the day before we need to make sure those powers are just enough to do only that and do not give too much latitude to be used in a broader way. For me at least it is the most important thing for the other things i will be supporting the government on i am very happy with most of the rest of it. Why matter what is your sense of parliamentary opinion on the First Priority you have just underlined . Everyone wants to see there are enough powers to make sure uk laws work on the day after we leave. There is Common Ground on that. Most people cannot see a good case why the powers should be much broader than that. Quite a lot of people are worried about it. If ministers are minded to come forward and say we can narrow these powers a bit, providing we still have enough power to make the necessary changes and the technical changes, so that everything still works ok on day one, then everybody will be happy. Certainly i will be. Dominic grieve was making quite a case on the specification of date within the legislation for exiting the eu. Do you share his concerns on that . have a lot of time for him but on this i would respectfully disagree on this helpful to put the dating because, by putting in a date, it shows the rest of the youth, the other countries in the eu, we are serious about leaving. There is a school of thought that says if we can delay it a bit and kick the can down the road we may never leave at all. Putting in a date shows we are serious. It also helps to show within the uk that the democratic decision we took is going to be honoured as well. It adds certainty on all sides and allows everyone to plan ahead. What if parliament to give you later on next if negotiations do not go that well . What if it took the view that it needed to look again at things . What would your attitude be to that . Looking at what in particular, do you think . Looking at whether the commitment to article 50 can be adjusted. These negotiations or is expand to fill the time around it. No one can remember and eu negotiation finishing at one minute to midnight on the final day. Even if you say were going to be an extra month, an extra week, an extra year. What would happen is there would be a lot of argy bargy and elbows in the negotiating chamber before whatever deadline is set. Just by putting the deadline back a bit me youre not necessarily going to win yourself an awful lot of scope. All you will do is delay the moment when the sharp elbows, and the argy bargy begins. Moment when the sharp elbows, and the argybargy begins. Given that, how important is it to move ahead in a demonstrable way with the talks in november going into the new year on the second phase of talks on the new relationship . Everybody in britain isjamming their relationship . Everybody in britain is jamming their fingers thinking we should have started them already. The eu is taking a different view. We need to be able to get the conversations about trade deals and other important things under way soon because they will not be quick. We wa nt soon because they will not be quick. We want them to be done in time. The more time we can gain of the more basic groundwork we can get done. Thank you for talking to us. John penrose talking about the memos he has been backing to the european withdrawal bill. Nicola sturgeon has been holding talks with theresa may in the past hour. Nicola sturgeon has just in the past hour. Nicola sturgeon hasjust emerged in the past hour. Nicola sturgeon has just emerged and this is what she had to say. So, this is the first minister emerging dust of the minutes ago four that this happened in the last few minutes. She stepped up in the last few minutes. She stepped up to the cameras to give her update to the talks which included some of the brexit elements. We had a constructive and cordial meeting with the Prime Minister. We touched ona number of with the Prime Minister. We touched on a number of different issues but, unsurprisingly, the main focus of our discussion was on brexit. We discussed the withdrawal bill. We did not Reach Agreement but we developed a better understanding of each others positions. I make clear that the scottish cup at wants to find agreement on the withdrawal bill. We oppose brexit but we understand withdrawal legislation is necessary , understand withdrawal legislation is necessary, so we want to find agreement. I also made clear what the bottom lines are on that bill. Discussions will continue and, hopefully, we can reach some points of agreement in the weeks to come. The Prime Minister also updated me on the wider negotiations and her expectations, as we head towards the december council. That was useful to hear her views on that. We touched ona hear her views on that. We touched on a range of other issues as well. 0verall on a range of other issues as well. Overall it was a constructive and cordial meeting. First minister, is anything you have heard from your discussions with the Prime Minister that makes you think you can make them agree to give in . Not yet. We did not get to a point of agreement but we did develop a better understanding of each others positions and i hope the primers to have a good understanding of the Scottish Government position. The Prime Minister. We accept that framework with agreements in some areas are necessary but they should be with agreement and not by imposition. I made very clear, as the scottish admin has done, the withdrawal bill as it stands would not be acceptable and we would not be able to recommend approval of that. That remains the position. Having had the opportunity to air the concerns we have in more detail, we will be able to see more progress in the weeks to come. What do you make of the comments yesterday . If there was no deal he would regard a second independence referendum as important. That is the longstanding position of the Scottish Government. We have a mandate for that in this session of the scottish parliament. I have been very clear we will take no further decisions around the timing ofany no further decisions around the timing of any referendum until other access timing of any referendum until other a ccess timing of any referendum until other access aspects of brexit are sorted. What was it like . It was a cordial meeting. Basically the message is pretty clear, saying that talks with theresa may where constructive and cordial. In the past maybe they have not been quite as much and saying very clearly that the withdrawal bill, which is going to the commons and its detailed stages today, or starting at least is not acceptable as it stands to the Scottish Government. Nicola sturgeon by explaining that they expect and wish to see changes to it if the Scottish Government, the scottish parliament, is to give its approval to the bill itself will stop just the latest on the talks between the first minister and the Prime Minister. A Firearms Dealer has been found guilty of supplying illegal handguns and home made bullets linked to more than 100 crime scenes, including three murders. Paul edmunds was arrested in 2015 at his home in gloucestershire, where he made bullets to fit antique weapons. He was found guilty of conspiracy to supply firearms and ammunition. 0ur correspondent, sima kotecha, reports from Birmingham Crown court. This is where firearms expert paul edmunds used to live in a leafy village in gloucestershire. Police discovered 100,000 rounds of ammunition here in three separate armouries, along with almost 200 guns. Bullets were found scattered around his bedroom and attic. Today, following a six week trial, edmunds was found guilty of supplying guns and home made ammunition to gangs across the country. The 66 year old made bullets for firearms that were classified as antiques and then sold them for a hefty profit. These weapons and ammunition have appeared at over 100 crime scenes in the uk between 2009 and 2015. This involved murders and other serious crimes. He abused his position and he abused his knowledge of ammunition and firearms. Undoubtedly this operation, which began in 2014, has saved many lives as we have been able to stop what was a major supply route of these firearms and ammunitions onto the streets. Three years ago ballistics experts are gathering evidence relating to gun crime when they found there had been an increasing number of prewar weapons at crime scenes. By carrying out microscopic examinations, they discovered some of the ammunition was marked in the same way and it was this that led them to edmunds. When the ammunition is constructed, certain tools are used and these tools impart markings on to the modified rounds. This started to notice a pattern of tool marks. You look at lots of different criminal incidents, we see the same pattern of tool marks again and again you can start to link those together forensically using the microscope. This building contains thousands of firearms seized by police from across the country. This gun was imported by edmunds from america. Now that he has been convicted, it, too, will be stored here. At the National Ballistics intelligence service, they are firing one of the antique revolvers with the bullets made by edmunds.
