now on bbc news — i want to thank the minister monday in parliament. for meeting with me and headteachers from my local constituency area. i know he gets the problems with school funding, hello, and welcome to but i don't believe the chancellor does. so would hejoin me in demanding more funding for schools from the chancellor? monday in parliament. well, it was a real pleasure to meet all of the headteachers that the honourable member the main news from westminster. introduced me to on wednesday. it was a very constructive theresa may says she did everything discussion about the challenges those heads face regarding school she could to avoid a no—deal brexit. funding, all of which we'll take i wanted to leave the european union on the 29th of march with a deal. on board, as the honourable member suggests, as we prepare if the right honourable gentleman and his party agreed for the spending review and our with the government on that, we'd already be out of the... discussions with the treasury. the labour leader says the next thank you, mr speaker. prime minister will not the funding crisis for schools have the support of the commons. in bath is getting worse and worse. for example, one school hasn't employed a new teaching assistant for years and another one has only got one teaching assistant for every 102 peoples. they certainly have no mandate to force a disastrous, only two weeks ago, teachers hard—right brexit on this country. and i make it very clear, mr speaker, labour will work across this house to block no—deal. also on the programme, shock at some of the remarks made and parents went on a huge march by mps about domestic violence... in bath to express their alarm about the threat to their children's education. what can the minister say to them? well, she will be aware of course will you assert that domestic abuse that in her constituency of bath, is neverjust domestic, schools have attracted 6.3% more funding per people this year it is never a personal family matter? theresa may has been reporting back compared to 2017—‘18. there are now 10,000 more teachers to the commons on a meeting in our system and 40,000 more of european leaders teaching assistants employed in brussels last week. today compared with 2010. given the state of flux we would be making the the strongest in british politics, possible case, we are making brexit wasn't very high on the agenda. a more pressing matterfor the eu a strong as possible case to secure council were negotiations on who's going to get the top jobs the right deal for education. in the european union in november. a few of the people who've become familiarfaces in the uk are stepping down, such as the european in march, i surveyed commission presidentjean—claude nottingham south's schools juncker and the president of the eu about the impacts of funding cuts. the responses were frankly council donald tusk. disturbing, revealing concerns not mrs may said the uk was taking just about their inability to buy a back—seat on who gets books and equipment, but also pupils unable to attend the senior roles. school full—time due to a lack of special educational needs provision. one headteacher even told me they may have to close the whole dining room because they can't the uk supports president tusk‘s afford to undertake urgent repairs approach to create a package that are needed. of candidates across the top jobs can the minister tell parents in my constituency what he's doing which reflect the diversity to secure extra funding for nottingham schools in the forthcoming spending review? of the european union. as there was no consensus on candidates at this meeting, the council agreed to meet again after the g20 this coming sunday, as well as holding further discussions with the european parliament. she will be aware that since 2017, so, mr speaker, while i had originally anticipated that this every local authority has been given more money for every 5—16—year—old would be my final european council pupil in every school as prime minister, i will in fact while allocating the biggest increases to schools that have have one more. been most underfunded. laughter. finally... as for special educational needs finally, mr speaker... funding, that has increased from £5 finally, mr speaker, billion a year in 2013 president tusk and presidentjuncker to {6.3 billion this year. updated the remaining 27 but as i said to other honourable member states on brexit. this scheduled update was part members, we'll be making a strong case to the treasury as part of the agreement i reached in april to extend the article 50 deadline for our departure from the eu of any review process. to the 31st of october. the council repeated its desire to avoid a disorderly brexit you're watching monday in parliament with me, and committed to work constructively kristiina cooper. with my successor as prime minister. mps have backed government plans the labour leader was concerned to cut greenhouse gas emissions about the brexit policy of the next in the uk to almost zero by 2050. prime minister. it is deeply worrying that those who seek to lead this country seem to have no grip on reality. the energy minister said the revised target would be a legally binding commitment to end the uk's the prime minister... contribution to climate change. last year, the intergovernment panel for climate change published the prime minister, mr speaker, a sobering report on the impact said the council reiterated its wish of global warming at 1.5 degree to avoid a disorderly brexit. centigrade above i'm not sure they will have been preindustrial levels. reassured by the statements of her potential successors. in that report, they made clear that labour put forward a plan that could bring the country back said targets set limit global together, but the prime minister warming at about two degrees refused to compromise. above preindustrial levels whoever the next prime minister is, was no longer enough. they will barely hold the support of this house, so they certainly have no mandate to force they made it clear by limiting warming to1.5 degrees, a disastrous hard—right we may be able to mitigate some brexit on this country. and i make it very clear, of the effects on health, mr speaker, labour will work livelihoods, food security, across this house to block no—deal. water supply, human security, and economic growth. but, whatever plan the new tory they made clear that countries across the world, leader comes up with, including the uk, after three long years of failure, they should have the confidence to go back to the people and let them decide the future of this country. i am actually supposed to be talking would need to do more. about what happened at the eu council. nevertheless, i'm in a generous mood. so... the green mp said mps had to listen to the swedish teenage campaigner greta thunberg. when she was in parliament a few weeks ago, she really called on politicians to be honest at all times. does he agree it is a bit misleading to suggest that we have got great credit by reducing emissions by 40% to 1992, given that we have done that primarily by outsourcing a huge amount of our manufacturing emissions to other countries? i will respond to a small number we do not count for our consumption of the points that the right emissions and if we did account for that, our success would look honourable gentleman made. rather less rosy than the one he's just presented? we've always recognised as a country we will be on a journey towards reducing our carbon emissions. thatjourney includes making sure we show global leadership he talked about the talks in demonstrating to other countries that we had to try to find that are not cutting their carbon a compromise and a majority across this house. emissions of the need to do so. we did indeed enter those talks. i think both sides entered those talks in a constructive spirit, and i would remind the gentleman many of my constituents, especially school children, that it was he who terminated those will be delighted with this announcement, but others are rightly talks. he asks about my view, sceptical about the cost of it. and i wanted to leave the european union on the 29th what steps is the minister taking of march with a deal. to ensure that the plan will be if the right honourable gentleman achievable and affordable ? and his colleagues had voted with the government on that, we'd already be out. and i... the honourable lady is absolutely right that when it comes just to reiterate that point and remind him i have done to legislating today, everything to avoid a no—deal brexit it isn't simply about saying warm by voting for a deal three words or passing a law. we need to be able to then times this year. demonstrate action that he's done everything to increase lies beneath it. the chance of no—deal by voting and that action will come relatively against a deal every time. quickly with the publication of an energy white paper over the summer that will look at the future of our energy supply at a household level and an industrial level. will she confirm today that she will not vote for a tory leadership candidate supporting a no—deal on the 315t of october? the government plans to ban the sale mr speaker, will the government not of new petrol vehicles by 20110, finally accept the reality and support a people's vote. but some mps want that prime minister, this is your legacy, to happen sooner. your last few days in power. use them to stop the hard brexiteers if there will be any chance of meeting that commitment of net in your party that have pushed you out and who want to push us out zero by 2050, will the minister look again at the phasing out of the internal combustion engine so we get more electric vehicles on our roads to bring of the european union at any cost. down carbon emissions? i appreciate the prime minister i couldn't agree with her more that we want to be able to see will not want to wade the greatest possible transition towards electric vehicles, into the battle for her succession, hybrid vehicles, for the future but given she spent more time talking to other eu leaders and more as fast as possible. time speaking to members across this house than i suspect anyone else, staying with the environment, she knows what the challenges should it become law are in here, she knows for all our food packaging to be recyclable? what the boundaries and parameters a petition to mps calling for that are around the negotiating table, has attracted nearly a quarter what does she reasonably expect our country may be able of a million signatures, to negotiate by october the 315t triggering a debate in westminster hall. that hasn't already been achieved by her and her negotiating team? labour's daniel zeichner said it was evidence that the public was starting to take the honourable gentleman is trying the issue very seriously. to tempt me to step into an issue which, yes, he nods his head we have woken up. there is genuine public recognition and says yes, is an issue of the climate crisis, which will be a matter real concern over the natural for my successoi’. destruction caused by non—recyclable it is for my successor to take waste. forward with this house and with the european union the approach to our leaving i'm sure others will mention this, the european union. as i've said before, but over 11; million of us watched if the honourable gentleman david attenborough‘s blue planet and others across this house had two, which revealed the impact waste joined me in any one of the three votes that have taken place is having on our seas and wildlife. on the deal that was negotiated, while hugh's war on plastic found uk we could actually have already plastic waste abandoned all the way away in malaysia. left the european union. in my view, we must take people with us rather than being punitive. several mps are unhappy that the next prime minister may not which is why education and making address mps in the house of commons for several months. change easy for people is crucial. the result of the tory leadership election is due to be announced essentially, if we make it too much on monday the 22nd ofjuly. of a fuss for people to change their behaviour, a few days later, mps are scheduled people will be turned off by it to break for the summer holiday. and will not do it. i believe people want to do the right thing — both as home secretary and as prime minister, to be environmentally conscious, to live sustainably, the right honourable lady has been but time and resources dictate that we have to make this the easy extremely assiduous about coming choice in a sociallyjust way, not simply for those who can afford to this house and the time or money to change addressing this house. their consumption habits. in fact, she's probably spent more neil parish used a nearby hours than she's wanted probably and more than any other prop to demonstrate why prime minister in many years. she addressed the house within a week of becoming prime minister. there were still problems. if you take, i have this will she ensure that whoever her successor is addresses beaker here, sir george, this house within a week of becoming prime minister because it if i put that in my garden would surely be a disgrace with a whole load of beakers, for 41 days to pass before a prime minister did so? leave them together, that will never decompose or it will take a very long time. if you then mix it with garden waste and other organic materials and you can get the temperature up to 16 degrees, it will break down i thank the honourable gentleman probably within12 for the comments that he's weeks to six months. made about myself. so it can be done. can i say the question he has asked and it will break down. they will actually break right down. is not a matterfor me, it will be a matter for the incoming but it has to be done properly and you do not want these mixing prime minister and this house. with plastic that a new prime minister must set out before this summer recess here in parliament his approach to brexit so that we and the european union can establish whether it commands the confidence of the house. is not combustible. that will be a matter for the incoming prime minister. the issue was also raised with the speaker. the minister said the government had this is an extremely grave matter, plans to make recycling mr speaker, because what we're easier for everyone. seeing is probably around a quarter of 1% of the population who will be selecting the next prime minister at an absolutely crucial time i would like to stress in our history. that the government sees the elimination or avoidance of plastic waste as a priority, and indeed we look forward to making further measures to make this is there anything you, mr speaker, country greener still. we are already the greenest can do to make sure this house has government ever and we plan to build on that. an opportunity when other members the speakerjohn bercow has are here to properly debate this issue, to make sure the next confirmed that chris davies is no prime minister can be held longer the mp for brecon and radnorshire in wales. to account by this house it comes after more than 10,000 without having an extended period people signed a recall petition of summer recess in the way? to remove the conservative mp, who was recently convicted of submitting a false expenses claim. the conservative party has reselected him to fight the seat. chris davies has therefore ceased i have been assured that there is no to be a memberfor brecon intention on the part and radnorshire and the seat of the government to prevent is accordingly vacant. the new prime minister appearing he can no longer participate in any before the house before this house parliamentary proceedings as a member of parliament. rises for the summer recess. the leader of the house, relatively recently, had his first outing on a thursday morning at the business question. and as the honourable gentleman addressed the house, the government chief whip approached me unsolicited, but on the back of a number of queries about prorogation to the house of lords now, and about timescale for the announcement where some peers are worried that of the new prime minister, music is being increasingly sidelined in state schools. a recent study by birmingham city university found that the average a—level music class has just three students. specifically in order to tell me, a—level music is a crucial gateway to a professional career in music, and if it dies out, the future of music in the uk itself is threatened. is my noble friend therefore alarmed as i say unsolicited, at the shocking decline that the government had no intention in the number of people taking it of doing that. down almost 40% in eight years, earning the record of being the fastest disappearing a—level subject? is he aware, more disturbingly still, the research by birmingham city university which has painted a devastating picture of provision, with 20% of entries clustered around i think i can confirm that it'd fewer than 50 schools and four local certainly not be the intention authorities of the most deprived of the government to allow parts of the country not having any a situation in which there was not a—level music centres and therefore an opportunity for the new prime no a—level entrances minister to appear before this house. and the second thing i would also say is... at all last year. before recess indeed, in before the recess, and the second thing i would say is my noble friend therefore is it will be also i think accepted as angry as i am as such that parliament will express indefensible inequality with access its will if there were any to a level of music and therefore likelihood of that the chance of a music career becoming the sole preserve of the wealthy and independent becoming an issue. schools disappearing completely from poor areas? staying with the conservative leadership contest, it's been dominated in recent days by media it is of course correct to say that reports about an argument between boris johnson a—level entry and music have and his partner carrie symonds at their home in south london. declined over recent years. the labour mpjess phillips was very however, we do want them uncomfortable about some to have the opportunity to study our subjects of the reaction to the incident. at a—level if they wish to, whatever their background this weekend, i have been shocked and appalled at the rush of members and wherever they live. of this house to insist on the idea of moving back the dial in this area to suggest that matters such as this are private family matters, are issues that are to be kept it is up to individual schools and colleges to decide within the confines of walls. which available courses to offer now, i am certain that and they may wish to work together in almost any circumstance, that the people in this house don't with other schools and colleges to maximise choice. believe that that is the case. i would also point out the noble however, i guess they had lord that there are other routes their priorities elsewhere when they went out to say it. into music, for example on friday evening, i was in norwich cathedral what that has led to is that with the choir and they are teaching all the women's charities in this children to sing in english, country have had to today reissue german, italian and indeed even a statement to assert that of course russian, all of this can lay people should call the police, the foundation for a of course people should gather future career in music. the research clearly shows that evidence where they can teaching music improves quality and of course people should try of ability, it improves memory, and intervene because the message it improves manual dexterity that came from this house, and improves emotional development. and perhaps the speaker could send a different message today, was that people should not try to help. please, mr speaker, will you assert that domestic abuse is neverjust 00:12:11,125 --> 2147483051:42:50,277 domestic, it is never 2147483051:42:50,277 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 a personal family matter? and the noble lord is right in asking this very important question. if we do not have enough teachers, and may be the noble lord the minister can tell me how many music teachers are currently practising in the state schools, how can we manage with the decreasing ability of so many british pupils in the state sector? i don't have the specific numbers of music teachers in the system but i know the vacancy rate is only .5%. so i don't see that as a crisis. i think we have seen pressure on some schools crowding out subjects for example in key stage two by elongating key stage four, however the new framework for the ofsted inspection starting from september will be putting more emphasis on a broad and bounce curriculum which music is part. well, there was no lack of verbal skill in the commons as mps congratulated john bercow for reaching his ten—year anniversary as speaker. he was compared to sir thomas more, who famously objected to henry viii separating england from the roman catholic church, a stand that led to his execution. thank you, mr speaker. can i congratulate you on your ten years? sir thomas more, who held yourfine office, went on to be both a martyr and a saint. laughter. i clearly hope it is the latter for you, sir. after this, maybe we can have a discussion about which moisturiser you use as well. we look for to hearing the speaker's beauty tips! well, that's it from monday in parliament. mandy baker will be here for the rest of the week. but from me, kristiina cooper, goodbye! hello. the heat and the humidity have been rising over recent days and that is bringing us feel for some heavy showers and some thunderstorms as well. as we head through the day on tuesday, we're going to keep that warm, humid, fairly sticky feel to the weather and we are expecting further thundery showers as well. now, we've got this weather front that's been pushing up from the south over the past few hours. it will continue its progression north—eastwards, as we head on through tuesday. but early in the day, this is the zone we're most concerned about, in terms of those heavy thunderstorms and torrential rain. not everywhere is going to see them but if you catch one, could well see some flash flooding problems, particularly across this part of eastern england and into eastern wales as well. through the course of tuesday morning then, that first batch of rain tends to drift its way northwards and eastwards, across north—east england, and eventually out into the north sea. we'll also see some further heavy showers building through into the afternoon, particularly trough parts of the midlands, perhaps wales as well. scotland and northern ireland having a bit of a dryer day. whereever you are, it's feeling reasonably warm. most of us around about 19—25 degrees or so. just a little bit cooler along some of these north—east coasts. as we move through the course of tuesday evening and overnight into wednesday, then that first batch of rain clears away and we then we've got a little bit of a change on into wednesday. quite a lot of cloud across the country, and it's going to be another mild and fairly muggy feeling night, with temperatures between around 10—16 degrees overnight. so heading through wednesday, once we have lost that frontal system, high pressure tends to topple in from the north, becoming more of a player and quietening the weather down. so through the day on wednesday, there will not be as many heavy downpours and thunderstorms. still the chance of perhaps one or two showers lingering across the far south—west of england, the channel isles too. most other parts of the country looking dry. best of the sunshine, i think, across scotland and northern ireland. quite a bit of cloud for england and wales but it will tend to break up through the day, allowing temperatures to rise to around about 23 degrees or so. later in the week then, that high—pressure topples in further. we see low pressure moving out towards the west. so we are going to be drawing in these warm southerly or even south—easterly winds. lifting temperatures to as high as about 31 degrees or so in the warmer spots. so through the day on thursday, plenty of sunshine around. it's looking like a dry day across the uk, bit more brightness, i think, compared to wednesday. still a little cooler, with a bit more cloud around parts of eastern scotland and north—east england as well, where we draw the breeze off the sea. the warmest temperatures are going to be found further west. but later on inthe week it is looking dry, mostly sunny, again hot and pretty humid, and also fairly muggy and sticky by night. bye for now. welcome to bbc news. i'm duncan golestani. our top stories: the frontrunner to be the next british prime minister — boris johnson speaks exclusively to the bbc. he insists he can deliver brexit by the october deadline. my pledge is to come out of the eu at halloween, on 31 october. the us imposes new sanctions on iran. president trump calls them hard—hitting. the iranians accuse his administration of "thirsting for wa r" the sinister side of south korea's glitzy gangnam district. we have a special report into the underbelly of seoul's most elite nightclubs.
