deal, which mps rejected this week, might help break the deadlock. the shadow brexit secretary, sir keir starmer, has called on mrs may to cut a deal with the eu that keeps the uk close to it. he also warned that labour had to be ready to campaign for a fresh referendum. our political correspondent alex forsyth reports. when it comes to brexit, there are strong arguments on all sides but, as yet, no agreement. some think one way through would be a series of votes in parliament if she cannot deliver one that parliament accepts, then she needs to become a facilitator and mediator to find out

should happen now theresa may's plan for brexit has been emphatically rejected. one mp is trying to force the government to let parliament indicate its view with a series of non—binding votes. the key thing is to bring into play what has not been brought into play up to now and that is, does the house of commons have a view on the direction the government should now take? some mps are trying to seize control of this process from the government to give parliament the power to force a delay to brexit if no consensus can be reached. today, labour's shadow brexit secretary said a pause now seems inevitable and, if no agreement can be reached, that is what we are about. so far, the prime minister has been against that option in. her 93.1“. eel—qt; agreed—r against backtracking or delay. on

nothing. they were there in groups, but they never said, "get away, because it could cause an explosion." a policy of mexico's new president, lopez obrador, is causing the acute fuel shortages. he has ordered that key pipelines be shut down until they can be properly protected from thieves that frequently tap into the country's fuel supplies. and this devastating fire is not going to change the policy, which means the large loss of life here may be followed by other deadly incidents. richard galpin, bbc news. the duke of edinburgh has been seen driving again, just two days after he was

but the royal college of gps says there are still 6000 short and surgeries are under pressure. we are still struggling to get enough gps to fill in the posts. we are having to rely a lot on locums. there are some places that keep advertising and get nobody. it is a nice area but we still can't get people to come in and do the work. places with fewer elderly people and children may need fewer gps
