His side suffered the biggest defeat of their season as watford beat them 41. Their season as watford beat them 4 1. Chelsea. 100 years since the first women got the vote we celebrate the achievements of those who campaigned to make it happen. As debate over gender equality and at attitudes towards women are in sharp focus today, we look at how son, society has changed or not over the past century. Charlotte was six years old when i went back to work and i really felt i was missing out. Having paid Maternity Leave and having flexible hours means as a Maternity Leave and having flexible iiouis means as a woman Maternity Leave and having flexible hours means as a woman in the workplace i can achieve. We would like to hear from you as well, is there one woman in your life that inspires you . Let us know. Carol certainly does, she has the weather from the Westminster Hall were the first mass signature petition for womens botes was handed over. 1500 women signed the petition from across the country and abroad as well from british women leading to copious debates in the house of commons and the women having the right to vote. Westminster hall is quite stunning but it is cold, cold outside as well, a hard frost, snow in the forecast but also some sunshine. Will tell you where in 15 minutes. First, our main story. The conservative mp and leading remain campaigner anna soubry has called theresa may to sling out hard brexiteers in the party. She said the front bench was in hock to 35 ideological remain supporters. In an interview with newsnight she said she wouldnt stay in a party taken over by the likes of Jacob Rees Mogg and boris johnson. Eleanor garnier is in westminster for us this morning. Morning, eleanor, more division in the party over brexit again . Europe is an issue thats divided the conservative party for decades and actually ever since that referendum result the remain campaigner anna soubry has spoken out very passionately about brexit, but i do think she has gone a step further this time, saying shes going to threaten to quit the party if theresa may does not stand up to the ha rd theresa may does not stand up to the hard ideological brexiteers in the conservative party. Theyre not the tory party that i joined 40 years ago, and its about time carizza stood up to them and slung them out, because theyve taken down major anne cameron, two great leaders, neither of whom stood up great leaders, neither of whom stood up to them. If it comes to it im not going to stay in a party thats been taken over by the likes of Jacob Rees Mogg and borisjohnson, theyre not proper conservatives. If that means leave the party, formed some sort of alliance, i dont know, but we just simply cannot go on like this any longer. Something is going to have to give because it if it doesnt, not only will we get Jacob Rees Mogg as our Prime Minister, we will get a devastating hard brexit that will cause damage to our economy for decades to come. Brexiteers will say theyre arguing for what they believe is in the best interests of the country. In fact a former tory chancellor, lord lamont, said anna soubry was being quite ridiculous. I think all this demonstrates the huge task theresa may has to keep the conservative party united over brexit. Remember, this is a crucial week, the Prime Minister is going to try to coax her most senior ministers to form some kind of consensus on the governments negotiating position with the eu. Eleanor, thanks for yourtime, with the eu. Eleanor, thanks for your time, see you in a bit.

The 66 year old denied murder and conspiring to cause the the explosion. The then Prime Minister David Cameron said mr downie should never have been given such assurances, describing it as a dreadful mistake. Now the Legal Aid Agency has decided to provide funding to the families of the victims which will allow them to begin civil action. The move has been welcomed by some who hope this could be an opportunity to solve one of the most significant ira bombings during the decades of violence that became known as the troubles.

The white house has said the president is focused on long term fundamentals, which remain exceptionally strong. And many on wall street say theres no meat for alarm just yet. People are taking profits after an historic climb, its required in there, very orderly, no panic so i must lead to think theres much to panic about. That could spell relief for people here in the us and around the world. But with a slide like this, its hard to predict when it might end. Yogita limaye, bbc news, new york. Theres a call this morning for easy cigarettes to be given on the nhs because theyre an Excellent Way to help smokers quit. Public Health England said vaping poses only a small fraction of the risk of smoking tobacco. 0ur Health Reporter Michelle Roberts has more. Theyve helped tens of thousands of people quit smoking, but currently in the uk, people have to buy e cigarettes, unlike nicotine patches and gum. Public Health England wants that to change and for doctors to start giving e cigarettes to patients on prescription. The latest evidence reviewed showed that although vaping is not entirely risk free, its much better than smoking. They say e cigarettes are 95 safer than most cigarettes as they do not have most of the toxic chemicals found in smoke. They estimate e cigarettes help the least 20,000 people successfully quit per year. Despite their popularity, around 40 of smokers have not tried them. Experts say the evidence in favour is so compelling, smokers who want to quit should not wait for free prescriptions for trying e cigarettes. Were confident theyre su bsta ntially less harmful than cigarette smoking, so we recommend for those struggling to stop, try e cigarettes, that might help them to stop smoking, which would be the best thing they could do for their health. In the meantime, public Health England suggests hospitals start selling e cigarettes to patients and change smoking shelters into vaping lounges. But they also warn that non smokers shouldnt start vaping. Michelle roberts, bbc news.

That extra time behind the wheel isntjust annoying, its costing drivers more than £1000 annually, not Justin Westhoff costing drivers more than £1000 annually, notJustin Westhoff fuel but also because some Household Goods are becoming more expensive as high of rating fees are passed onto consumers. And under and is europes second most congested city after moscow with drivers spending around 74 hours, the equivalent of three days, in trafficjams. Manchester, birmingham, luton and edinburgh have also been singled out as gridlock hotspots. The company that carried out the research said the cost to the uk economy is astonishing and britains busy roads are affecting individuals and businesses. Its really a big concern because ultimately this means there is a decreasing productivity from the business side, but also quite a big costis business side, but also quite a big cost is being passed on down to the driver, whether thats true direct costs like fuel wasted in traffic or the time youre losing, theres also cost on businesses that gets passed back down to households. The department for transport said it is investing £23 billion on road schemes that will help cut congestion and its giving local councils record amounts of funding to upgrade roads.

The pressure has been mounting on him for quite some time but when you think back, just last season he won the championship and again here we are talking about another manager up against it, potentially losing his job based of course on last nights performance. After losing to bournemouth 3 0 last week. Last night his future is looking uncertain after his side were thrashed 4 1 by watford last night.

Across the world, we saw the dowjones see its biggest fall in points for some time, about 4x, fall in points for some time, about 4 , and obviously when one market goes, it spooks the rest of them, so, when the us markets closed, the asian markets open, so weve seen a fall overnight. In other words, the value of some of the Biggest Companies has fallen, because of concerns with whats happened with things like Interest Rates around the world, and inflationary pressures. Well have another look at the stock market here when it opens. The telegraph, talking about the suffragettes, saying 100 years since the first women in the uk got the vote, and what they are asking is, should they be pardoned .

The cat President Trump and the claim the nhs is going broke, and an interesting story about the fast and serious films, the week they are released, people have noticed people drive faster. And focusing on Antonio Conte, and an interesting story in the times, focusing on the premier league over the festive period. We had a lot of chats across december and january, just how many games they could squeeze into december and january, whereas elsewhere they tend to have a break and give the players a rest, but this could happen within the premier league, the times reporting the premier league is saying a break could be introduced before 2022, to bring it in line with the rest of europe, which would be a huge, huge story for the premier league, if that happened, and we have got a statement from the premier league this morning, saying, if they can find a space, they are open to the principle of this, so its one to watch. Thank you very much indeed. Youre watching breakfast from bbc news. The main stories this morning the conservative mp and remain campaigner anna soubry has called on the Prime Minister to sling out the partys brexiteers. Government Health Officials say e cigarettes should be prescribed on the nhs, because theyre an Excellent Way to help smokers quit. Carol has the weather this morning shes in Westminster Hall inside the houses of parliament. And she is going to explain to us lots of things about what happened there 100 years or so ago. Morning. Good morning. Thats right. Its a bit chilly in here as well, but it was way back in 1866 that campaigners from the kensington campaign, which was a group of women that met regularly to talk about winnings issues, debates and rights, they met and decided to present a petition to government, to the mps, so 1500 women across the uk and british women abroad sign this petition, brought it here, and it was brought by two women, Elizabeth Garrett and emily davies, and presented it to the mp, but they felt rather nervous. It was a different world in 1866 and they asked a fruit stall owner if they could hide it underneath the fruit stall until the mp arrived. He arrived, they presented it to him, and that resulted in copious debates about winnings right to vote. Eventually, 100 years ago today, resulting in some winning getting the right to vote.
