vote on her brexit deal will "definitely" go ahead next week. speaking to the bbc‘s andrew marr show, the prime minister refused to rule out bringing the vote on her withdrawal agreement back to the commons for further votes, if mps reject it. mrs may said she was continuing to seek assurances from the eu to address concerns about her plans, but she insisted her deal was the best one available. iam i am working on getting this vote through parliament. it is for those that oppose the deal to actually say what the alternative is. and, so far, nobody, nobody has put forward an alternative that delivers on all of those issues. and, crucially, delivers on the referendum result. it is very important for mps, nonetheless, to know if you don't get it through first time round, despite all your best efforts, you go back to brussels and get some other assurances and bring it back again, one of your employees in numberio is again, one of your employees in number 10 is quoted as saying you could bring back this boat 30 times, if necessary, to get it through. the deal is on the table. let's look at what we have got in the house of commons at the moment in terms of the views that mps are taking on this deal. remember, article 50 was triggered, we are leaving on the... no, iwant triggered, we are leaving on the... no, i want to see this go through, andrew, and i wanted to go through when people vote on it. you will keep trying? the deal is not voted on, the vote that is coming up, we are going to be in uncharted territory. i don't think anybody can say exactly what will happen in terms of the reaction we will see in parliament. if i canjust go back to what i was going to do, which is setting out what we have an house of commons, what we have an house of commons, what we have an house of commons is a labour leadership and labour party that is playing politics with this, that is opposing any deal in order to create the most chaos that they can. we have people that are promoting a second referendum in order to stop brexit. and we have people that want to see their perfect brexit. and i would say don't let the search for the perfect become the enemy of the good. because the danger there is actually we end up with no brexit at all. our political correspondent nick eardley is here. he was watching and listening to that interview. did we get anything new from the prime minister?” that interview. did we get anything new from the prime minister? i don't think we got anything that com pletely think we got anything that completely changes the dial on this all means that we are in new territory when it comes to discussing whether she gets this deal through parliament. the prime minister clearly still thinks what she thought before christmas, which is that the proposal she has put on the table is the best one and that it delivers. but she has said there are some things she is trying to provide mps in the coming days, when she hosts them for drinks receptions. we know that they are happening this week. when she meets them for private chats in her office, as well. she wants some assurances, specifically on the issue of the irish backstop. she wa nts to issue of the irish backstop. she wants to get a greater role for parliament and she says she still wa nts parliament and she says she still wants further assurances from the eu and is still sinking in. clearly, that hasn't been achieved yet. —— is still seeking them. what is not com pletely still seeking them. what is not completely clear is whether any of the assurances she could now get our enough to win over the numerous mps that we know still are not in a place where they are going to support the prime minister. something else she spoke about in that interview was trying to hammer home again what she believes is the potential risk of voting down her deal. what she talks about the uncharted territory that the uk would find itself in, potentially, as soon as a week on tuesday or wednesday if that deal is voted down. clearly, the prime minister doesn't want to talk about alternatives. she has never particularly wa nted alternatives. she has never particularly wanted to do that. she is sitting there again this morning and saying something that we have heard her say before, though to this down and you risk anything happening. she was pressed on whether if they do vote it down she would try again, try to get mps to back it with another vote later on? dias, because there is fervent speculation around westminster that if the prime minister loses this there would be another vote. there are tory mps who think of the prime minister loses first time around, she has a stronger hand to go back to brussels and say, i am not getting this through, you need to give mea getting this through, you need to give me a lot more all we are going to end up in no—deal territory. the prime minister has never said she would bring the deal back again, but she was asked five times in that interview this morning whether that is something which might happen. she refused to rule it out, she refused to really get into any details on it. but i think we can firmly say thatis it. but i think we can firmly say that is something that has not been ruled out by downing street. thank you very much indeed. labour has said the government's ten—year plan for the nhs in england will be undermined by planned cuts to community health services. tomorrow theresa may will announce a ten—year plan for the health service, with the budget due to rise by £20 billion year by 2023. nhs patients in england are being promised access to what the prime minister says will be "world class" treatments as our health correspondent dominic hughes reports: two... jenny knows first—hand how hard it can be to live with poor mental health. for years she has struggled with anxiety and depression. when she has needed help, she has had good support from her gp and the wider nhs. but she says mental health is still only second—best when compared to physical problems. it feels like we're making a start, but it still seems to me like there's a long way to go, and... i don't know, i don't have the answers, but it seems to me that waiting months and months for treatment can't possibly be right. improving the provision of mental health services for people likejenny is one of the areas the prime minister is outlining today. it's all part of long—term plan for the nhs in england, highlighting the priorities for the health service over the coming decade. they include improved maternity care, better prevention and detection of disease, and more support for elderly people to maintain their independence. the aim is to reduce pressure across the whole nhs. when that builds up, it's hospital a&e departments where the impact is most obvious. we know, when there are problems in mental health and primary care, then the default position can be a&e departments. that's the only place the lights are always on. so what we see is that when investment has been — under—investing in primary care or mental health, then patients can end up inappropriately being treated in a&e, or in other settings, and that's not right. there has been a broad welcome for this initial outline of priority areas. more details will be unveiled tomorrow. but the nhs is already facing staff shortages, rising demand for services, and cuts to other parts of the health and social care system, so health campaigners say fulfilling the promises of better care over the next decade will be extremely tough. shadow health secretaryjon ashworth told the andrew marr show that there aren't enough staff in the nhs for the government's plan to be implemented what i look at is the waiting times, which are now, the waiting list, which are now at 4.3 million. there's 2.5 million people waiting beyond four hours in a&e, 27,000 people waiting beyond two months for cancer treatment. these are all targets and access standards which were routinely met under the last labour government. people are waiting longer under this tory government, and it's because the tories, i'm afraid, have been running down the nhs for nine years, starving it of cash, cutting it back, privatising elements of it, failing to get the staff we need. we don't need, and now theresa may is saying... a new ten year plan now. a ten year plan to clear up the mess she has made. it doesn't need ten more years of the tories, it needs a labour government to save the nhs. one of the big problems with what is being announced today, is that there isn't a credible plan for workforce. we have 100,000 vacancies across the nhs, 110,000 vacancies across the social care sector, we are short of 40,000 nurses, nurse numbers are going down and it is because training places have been cut, they have got rid of the bursary, and sajid javid is talking about imposing a £30,000 salary cap on staff coming from the eu and elsewhere to work in the nhs. if sajid javid wanted to put the nhs first, he would get rid of that salary cap, but instead he is putting his own leadership ambition first. that is quite disgraceful. the shadow health secretary speaking on the andrew marr show. let's talk to chris hopson, chief executive of nhs providers. what are your thoughts about the government's plans which are going to be unveiled, a long—term strategy, they say, a ten year strategy, they say, a ten year strategy for the nhs in england? the important place to start is probably the context. it has been a difficult last four years for the nhs. we have been under real pressure, rising demand, workforce shortages, the longest and deepest financial squeeze in nhs history. we have not been providing patients with the access to care that we would want, we have crowded a&e departments, and staff saying that their workload has become almost impossible. the next piece of context that is important, although the extra money is welcome, the reality is that itjust keeps pace with the average increase that the nhs has received since it was created in 19118. we need to be careful about how much this extra money can buy. what we are hoping for is a realistic plan tomorrow thatis for is a realistic plan tomorrow that is ruthlessly prioritised and says this is what the nhs is now going to achieve, and how it is going to achieve, and how it is going to achieve, and how it is going to get back to where it needs to get to. i think the worry would be that it turns into a shopping list of vast numbers of extra demands that cannot be afforded and we don't have enough staff to deliver it. so, we are all waiting with slightly bated breath to see, is it going to be the undeliverable shopping list, or is it actually going to be a realistically prioritised new way forward for the nhs. when you say ruthlessly prioritised, are you implying that the nhs is doing things now that it should not be doing? this has been one of the more relentlessly trailed announcements, we have had six or seven areas where we are going to have world—class mental health services, world—class maternity services, world—class maternity services, world—class maternity services, world—class community and gp services, of course everybody in the nhs would want that, we are all up the nhs would want that, we are all upfor the nhs would want that, we are all up for that. the reality is that we're not going to be to afford all of that. we just need to be careful how much we commit to. there is an important trap, if we raise expectations and fail to deliver them, people will understandably saying, hold on, where did the money go? ithink saying, hold on, where did the money go? i think it is very important that we have something that is ruthlessly prioritised and crucially enables us to get back to the quality of care that we want to provide. nobody wants to be working ina provide. nobody wants to be working in a very, very busy a&e department thatis in a very, very busy a&e department that is overcrowded, people are having to wait on trolleys and you have big queues or ambulances outside. we also don't want to be in a position where only a third of people who need mental health services can get access to those. so, there are some big issues to address. but we need to be realistic about it. ambitious, but realistic. is one of the biggest issues staff shortages, the fact the nhs is short of 100,000 people, 40,000 shortages, the fact the nhs is short of100,000 people, 40,000 nurses? that is not a good way to be going into this 10—year government plan. one of the privileges i have is that i get to visit hospitals, ambulances, community mental health services every week. one of the real changes has been when i spoke to the leaders we represent, they would say it is the money, it is the money, now they say it is the workforce, the workforce. i can't tell you how many places i visited recently where they are really struggling to get enough nurses and paramedics to provide the service that they need. i think that is why i am saying this plan, we have to ensure that whatever the nhs is being asked to do, not only can we afford it, but we also have the staff to deliver it. plans to move three million people on to universal credit are to be delayed amid concerns the system is causing hardship to some. instead, mps will be asked to approve the transfer ofjust 10,000 people to the new system, as part of a pilot scheme to see how the payments are working. the government insists the full roll out of universal credit will be completed, as planned, by 2023. michael buchanan reports. more than a million people are currently in receipt of universal credit, either new claimants for benefits or those who had a change of circumstances, perhaps by moving house. in the next few weeks, ministers were due to seek parliamentary approval to move 3 million existing welfare claimants onto the new benefit. but the next phase of the roll—out now appears to have been delayed, with the work and pensions secretary, amber rudd, seeking approval forjust 10,000 people to be moved onto universal credit in the summer. that process will then be assessed, and further parliamentary approval sought, before every other existing welfare claimant is moved. getting mps to approve the migration was always going to be difficult, amid evidence that some claimants on universal credit have been forced to visit food banks, or have faced eviction. but a source close to amber rudd said the pause was the right thing to do, and should reassure parliament that she was listing the mps' concerns. let's talk to david ough now on the phone from portsmouth. david claims universal credit but says problems with the new system is leaving him short of £60 every month for rent and that he's left nothing forfood or bills. david, thank you for being with us. tell us about how universal credit is working or not working for you. well, i was transferred to it two months ago. my first payment was on the 20th of january and they awarded me £316. my rent for the month is £377. so i am £61 short on my rent every month. i have got nothing to live on and my only way of food is pretty much food banks. the government would say this is a simpler system, it is an easier system and it rolls all of the benefits into one. what would you say to that? it is not working for me. i'm signed off sick from the doctor at the moment. he would have thought there would have been more out there, more help and support for a brand—new system, and it was not working for me. it was leaving me short, with no food, no gas, no electric. and i'm still short on my rent every month. so you are better off over the last system, when you we re off over the last system, when you were claiming the old benefits? when i was were claiming the old benefits? when iwas claiming were claiming the old benefits? when i was claiming the old benefits, i would get an income to last me a fortnight and i would have my rent taken care of, because i was in temporary accommodation, bed and brea kfast. temporary accommodation, bed and breakfast. i have just temporary accommodation, bed and breakfast. i havejust been moved onto this system and everybody that i have spoken to has pretty much said the computer says that is what you are entitled to. it is all down to the computer, if you try to complain about that, you don't make any progress? no progress whatsoever. there is no help out there for people like me. the only thing i can do is try to get myself better. get myself back to work. because otherwise i am going to be ina lot because otherwise i am going to be in a lot of debt. how do you feel about it? are you angry, are you angry with the government, are you angry with the government, are you angry with the new system? i'm not angry, i'm just... it just angry with the new system? i'm not angry, i'mjust... itjust hasn't happened, it's not helping my medical condition at the moment. it's just driving me medical condition at the moment. it'sjust driving me mentally insane. there is nothing you can do. red, david, 30 very much for sharing your experiences of universal credit with us. —— david, thank you very much. the headlines on bbc news... theresa may says she is still seeking reassurances from the european union for her brexit deal, and says the commons vote will "definitely go ahead" next week. the government outlines the changes in the 10—year plan for the national health service, which will be published tomorrow. the next stage of the universal credit roll—out is delayed amid concerns about the new all—in—one benefits system. sport, and for a full round up from the bbc sport centre, here'sjohn watson. good morning. the third round of the fa cup continues today. the two remaining non—league teams face big challenges with woking at home to premier league side watford, and barnet away at sheffield united, a side that are third in the championship. the biggest surprise yesterday was gillingham's 1—0 win over cardiff. elliott list struck the winner with nine minutes to go to knock out a side 45 places above them. it means cardiff, who made seven changes, have been knocked out of both domestic cup competitions by sides from outside the top flight this season. fellow premier league strugglers huddersfield are also out — their manager david wagner said this result doesn't help their survival bid in the premier league as they were beaten by bristol city. league one accrington stanley knocked out ipswich who are bottom of the championship, thanks to billy kee's headed goal. i actually watched football focus, and the little lad said 1—0 kee, and i thought i might have a chance now. really happy for the lads. they worked very hard against a good team, a championship team, and i think we performed on the day and we done ourjob. an emotional afternoon for cesc fabregas — he missed a penalty in chelsea's win over nottingham forest and left the field in tears, not because of the miss, but because this is expected to be his last game for the club before moving to monaco. his old club arsenal beat league one blackpool 3—0. teenagerjoe willock with two of the goals — arsenal have won this competition more times than any other team. the protests by blackpool fans towards the club owners continued, this supporter climbed on top of the arsenal team bus preventing it from leaving for the game. lots of supporters continue to boycott matches. so here's a check on all of sunday's matches. there's commentary of woking's game with watford and newport‘s game against leicester on radio 5 live, with the newport match also live on bbc one and online from 4.05. and if you miss that, highlights on match of the day tonight, which includes manchester city's match with championship strugglers rotherham. i would like to have to months holiday right now, definitely. mentally it is really tough. but it is what it is. so, when you want to become a top, top club, organisation, you cannot ignore any game, you cannot drop any i don't know how far we are able to read, maybe the carabao cup will be good for our recovery, maybe not. now away from the fa cup cardiff manager neil warnock has launched a blistering attack on his former player nathaniel clyne and liverpool. warnock thought that he'd agreed to sign clyne from the premier league leaders before the defenderjoined bournemouth on loan until the end of the season. i was disappointed with nathaniel clyne, having given him his debut, i'm disappointed not just with him but with liverpool as well for not telling me, to see it on television when i have done everything right, and they promised he was my player this week, for me, it is a disgrace and a lack of class, really. johanna konta has retired from herfinal qualifying match at the sydney international after

been given more time to question the two people arrested in connection with the stabbing to death of a man on a train in surrey on friday. lee pomeroy, from guildford, was on his way to london with his 14—year—old son. a man aged 35 was arrested on suspicion of murder and a woman who's 27 is being held on suspicion of assisting an offender. detectives have been given an extra 12 hours to question them. two british soldiers serving with special forces in north east syria have been seriously injured. reports say they were hit by an islamic state missile in deir al—zour. one kurdish fighter is thought to have been killed in the incident. john mcmanus has been following the story and spoke to us from the ministry of defence. the ministry of defence behind me is refusing to comment on the incident that happened on saturday morning in north—eastern syria were two british soldiers were seriously injured after a missile attack. they were airlifted to safety by us forces, who were also in the area, but a kurdish fighter who was with them was killed at the scene and we believe that the missile was launched by islamic state forces who are amongst the groups still fighting in syria's long—running civil war. they are very active but they have been suffering setbacks. in 2014, they were in control of vast swathes of territory across both syria and iraq but, since that time, they've been forced back and the fighting is continuing. they are carrying on the fight, though, and we believe that british forces are on the ground perhaps training those who are fighting against them. the government of course believes that tackling militant groups like is on the ground in regions in the middle east is a way to prevent them carrying out terrorist attacks here in the uk. well, as i say, those two soldiers seriously injured. we don't know anything more about that at the moment but we do know that this is a second incident involving the british forces in syria because, back in march, a sergeant with the parachute regiment was killed by a roadside bomb while he was embedded with us forces who were also in the country. a new regulation in saudi arabia is set to stop saudi
