not use corrupt prosecutors to help them get elected, which is exactly what they're doing. again, no authority to enforce federal law be it not campaign expenditures under federal law. that's why the doj, which do have exclusive authority for enforcement of law took absolutely no action against trump. they took no action against trump. they took no action against me. they looked it me, they said the only thing they did was the da whatever turned on the case with up by the way, he turned on the case but he could have been brought six or seven years ago, almost eight years ago. right in the middle of my presidential campaign. he simply had no case. if you go back and take a look at your earlier records and would give and offered, he turned it down. he was angry at what took place. when he saw they wouldn't use this scam he was angry. even michael's merck anish of cnn, a person... even michael's merck anish of cnn, a erson. .. . even michael's merck anish of cnn, a erson... . . .

allies. presumably they would believe there is no case. the evidence is picking to nude to be heard that michael cohen has given his evidence to the prosecution. prosecution from the defence we expect will come tomorrow. we focus on in the orton debate taking place in the commons tonight. there's was an important debate and vote taking place in the commons tonight on the plans to ban from parliament, mps who are facing sexual misconduct allegations. penny mordaunt, the leader of the house of commons, tabled proposals which would mean that mps would only be excluded once they've been charged by the police. but many mps think those plans don't go far enough — and that the ban should instead come into force when a member is arrested. here's some of that debate. at the heart of this is our responsibility to ensure that everyone in parliament has a safe working environment and that we uphold the holders two highest standards and expectations. that is a far cry from where we were in the recent past. issues of serious wrongdoing or harassment or bad culture and workplace have been a constant cloud over this place. the headlines bring the entire house into disrepute and add to the erosion of trust in parliament and in politicians. it erosion of trust in parliament and in politicians.— mp's were not whipped on which option to choose. clearly quite a heated debate. in the end the house plumped for the amended version of the bill. it means mps face being barred from attending parliament if they are arrested for serious sexual or violent offences. it passed byjust one vote, 170 to 169, in favour of the amendment to make the threshold for a ban being arrested — not being charged. joining us now is zoe grunewald, westminster editor at politics and culture magazine, the lead. thank you for being with us. it surprised me, there's currently no real system for their heirs. until nmp is actually convicted and sent to prison, does this go some way into solving that dilemma? i think it does. into solving that dilemma? i think it does- this _ into solving that dilemma? i think it does. this is _ into solving that dilemma? i think it does. this is been _ into solving that dilemma? i think it does. this is been a _ into solving that dilemma? i think it does. this is been a long - into solving that dilemma? i think it does. this is been a long time l it does. this is been a long time coming for staff and unions and indeed mps. there was no system in place to prevent an mp who is under investigation for a serious sexual or violent offence from attending the parliamentary estate. this was of real concern to staff, unions because we know in west minister there's a real problem with sexual misconduct, harassment and staff out the interests were being taken seriously. they felt there was no mechanism in place to protect them from those who may have committed these acts. and unions have been pushing for a long time for a mechanism in place to ensure that mps might�*ve done dangerous things that might be a threat to staff are made to stay away. there is got to be lots of pleas faces in the house of commons tonight. because finally this proposal which is been kicked into the long grass again and again is finally been voted on and got through by the skin of its seed. there are some mps who feel strongly that some of these claims are vexatious, indeed there is good evidence that some of them were. we can think of certain instances and just because the police decide to interview an mp and make it a rest, does that mean that it mp should be barred, loses career? we does that mean that it mp should be barred, loses career?— barred, loses career? we have to remember _ barred, loses career? we have to remember that _ barred, loses career? we have to remember that the _ barred, loses career? we have to remember that the threshold - barred, loses career? we have to remember that the threshold for| remember that the threshold for arras is quite high. you need proof. you can'tjust go to a policeman and say, i've been assaulted by this mp and they will go immediately or arrest them. there has to be evidence there. we also know the burden of proof, the charge is extremely high and only a tiny fraction of sexual assault cases in this country go to court even when they are in court it's very rare that they are found in the victims favour because of how sexual assault trials are set up in this country. staff felt it was important and unions felt it was important that there were mechanisms in place. that evenif there were mechanisms in place. that even if the justice system failed to protect victims of sexual violence parliament would set an example into a zero tolerance for that if an mp is under investigation they will not be able to attend the estate until the investigation is finished. when you speak about vexatious allegations, there is no evidence that there are more vexatious allegations about rape or sexual assault than any of the investigation is finished. when you speak about vexatious allegations, there is no evidence that there are more vexatious allegations about rape or sexual assault than any other crime. one thing pointed out in the debate was that parliament really should be setting an example to the rest of the country that they aren't going to use this allegation of vexatious complaint is a reason not to protect victims of sexual violence. they want to set the example and show that they have a real zero tolerance to this and they want to protect women and vulnerable groups from sexual predators. what groups from sexual predators. what ha--ens groups from sexual predators. what happens next? _ groups from sexual predators. what happens next? does _

initial proposal, which is the point of arrest of charge. zoe grunewald, thank ou arrest of charge. zoe grunewald, thank you very — arrest of charge. zoe grunewald, thank you very much _ arrest of

send them in. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. in his recent budget the uk chancellor, jeremy hunt has been lifting pension allowances for higher earners, to try and discourage early retirement. he wants people to extend their careers into later life. but the evidence from the united states suggests people are going the other way. they don't want to work longer. in fact, in the us, an increasing number don't intend to work past 62. that is a problem of course because as populations get older, the tax take is smaller, it puts added pressure on the treasury. new york fed researchers found that since march 2020, the number of years americans who expect to continue working has plunged by 9.5%.and that decline and that decline is broad—based across age, income groups and education. it's interesting, it caught my eye because broadly speaking, work is less physically taxing you could do it with technology and people don't want to work past 65 for the why is that? , , .

used to build towards and that major work in the money you made meaningfulfor that that major work in the money you made meaningful for that with those goals gone more and more people, especially younger workers are looking to the money that they make to go and enjoy in early retirement and to enjoy themselves more than anything else. can the finances work? not always. do you find your work? not always. do you find your work fulfilling? perhaps not. a lot of people don't find fulfillment in retirement either. i think it's the loss of the traditional building blocks of many peoples younger work years, middle gauge working years that you'd see the results and the fruits of that work are now impossibly expensive. if you have couege impossibly expensive. if you have college loans at top of that it's even worse. a lot of younger are just saying, under put together whatever i can put together and go find an island and have a good time. it's a paradox, since the pandemic the 60 and 70—year—olds especially in america have become wealthier because there's been this long bull run. house prices have gone up as well. they've been able to plan for their retirement. it is a key issue. we started the programme talking about growth. you need a workforce. you need a bigger workforce that we currently have at the moment. jeremy hunt sees the alarm bells ringing about how many are

across parts of northern and eastern scotland and down the eastern side of england, there has been some warm spells of sunshine. i've seen temperatures go to 23 degrees in a few spots, but it's a different story further southwards and westwards, with outbreaks of rain for northern ireland, wales and south west england. the rain has all been tied in with this curl of cloud, which is an area of low pressure. these weather fronts have been particularly slow moving, so it's been raining for most of the day for these areas and the front will continue to be slow moving as we go through the night. eventually, the rain crawls its way across the midlands into eastern england, gets into more of scotland through the night. but it should start to ease off across parts of wales, and the south west of england, although there could be a few showers here. temperatures overnight for most around 11 to 1a degrees. so we are looking at a mild night and a mild start to tuesday. this time, though, the rain will be pushing its way in across scotland and eastern areas of england. so that's where some of the wettest weather's going to be. a bit brighterfor northern ireland, wales and south west england, but not dry. it will be a day of sunshine and showers for these areas and some of the showers through the afternoon could turn out to be quite heavy with an odd rumble of thunder. for many areas, temperatures reached the upper teens. it is a bit above average for this time of year and where the sunshine comes out, it won't feel too bad. for the middle part of the week, wednesday we've still got our low pressure still in the same kind of area, still a day of sunshine and showers for many of these southern and western areas, although we could have some more persistent outbreaks of
