Is about to come in to circulation but at what cost to businesses . Good morning. Its monday, 27th march, im joanna gosling. Welcome to bbc Newsroom Live. Theresa may will meet scotlands first minister Nicola Sturgeon later today for the First Time Since she rejected calls for a second referendum on Scottish Independence. The visit is part of a tour of all four nations of the uk before the process of leaving the European Union formally begins on wednesday. Its an important time for brexit negotiations with a number of key discussions across the week. Later today, the Prime Minister is expected to give a speech on unity, saying uks union will become even more important as britain leaves the eu. Tomorrow, msps in the Scottish Parliament are to vote on a whether scotland should have a second independence referendum following the brexit negotiations. On wednesday, the Prime Minister will officially begin britains two year exit from the European Union in which shell write a letter to the Eu Commission triggering article 50 of the lisbon treaty. On thursday, the government will publish its white paper on the great repeal bill which outlines how it plans to transfer european legislation into british law. And on friday, the European Commission president donald tusk is expected to outline the 27 nations plan for brexit just 48 hours after receiving the formal confirmation. Our correspondent Catriona Renton looks at todays visit by the Prime Minister to scotland. Brexit was top of the agenda when these two leaders met for the first time, shortly after theresa may took office. Later today, they are set to meet again. But first, the Prime Minister will meet at the office for national development. On wednesday, she will trigger article 50, initiating the uks exit from the eu. But 62 of scots voted to remain. Nicola sturgeon has therefore called for a second referendum on Scottish Independence. Not only is there no uk wide agreement on the week ahead, agreement on the way ahead, but the uk government has not moved even an inch in pursuit of compromise and agreement. But theresa may has said not now. We should be working together to get that right deal for scotland and the uk. So i say that is myjob as the Prime Minister. So for that reason, i seated the snp that now was not the time. So for that reason, i say to the the snp that now was not the time. Lastly, the Scottish Parliament started debating whether to seek permission from the uk government for a second independence referendum. It was halted due to the Terror Attack on london. It is expected that with the backing of the scottish green party, the first minister will achieve a majority in favour. A representative for the Scottish Government says they understand the uk government wants to discuss article 50, and they hope there are areas that the Prime Minister can provide answers. Earlier this morning, keir starmer spoke about this. Norman smith is in westminster. What has he said, what are the demands . Hes set out the conditions which he says mrs neigh will have to meet, will have to be in Herfinal Brexit will have to meet, will have to be in her final brexit deal if labour are to support the package. There are to support the package. There area number of are to support the package. There are a number of conditions in which you probably think she will be able to meet, such as ensuring the package protects our national security, getting a deal that reflects the interests of different parts of the uk having a fair and managed migration system. But there is one condition which has raised eyebrows at westminster, and that is that mrs may must ensure the deal gets britain exactly the same benefits as we currently enjoy. Now, a lot of people say, how on earth is this possible if we are not in the Single Market, how can we have the benefits of being in the Single Market, if we are not in the Customs Union, how can we have the same benefits, labour say, but union, how can we have the same benefits, laboursay, but that union, how can we have the same benefits, labour say, but that was what the brexit secretary david davis promised, those were his words. Some brexiteers Suspect Labour is trying to position itself so labour is trying to position itself so that it can reject the final deal that mrs may eventually strikes. Keir starmer this morning though warning mrs may not to be tempted or pushed around by Hard Brexiteers in the tory party who might want no deal at all. Once a small minority in the conservative party, the brexiteers are now in office and in power. This ideologically driven approach to brexit would be disastrous and divisive. And it would stand as a roadblock to continued co operation in the important fields of technology, research, medicine, security, science, art and culture. The Prime Minister needs to face down these brexiteers. Norman, as we have said, theresa may meets Nicola Sturgeon later. How difficult is that meeting likely to be . I think its likely to be very strained, not just be . I think its likely to be very strained, notjust because of the personal difficulties these two women seem to have, their relations do not seem great, lets be honest. They have been publicically trading blows with each other. But also politically, they seem to be heading for a right old stramash because Nicola Sturgeon said clearly she wa nts a Nicola Sturgeon said clearly she wants a second independence referendum before brexit or possibly just a few months afterwards. We know theresa may has said now is not the time and both it seems are not for budging, indeed Downing Street making very clear this morning mrs may is going to set out in forthright terms her views that now would not be the appropriate moment to hold that second referendum. Although interestingly in a speech later today, she will float the idea of strengthening the devolution settle m e nt of strengthening the Devolution Settlement which has led some to suggest that perhaps she could look at transferring more powers to scotla nd at transferring more powers to scotland as an olive branch for Nicola Sturgeon. Again, Downing Street playing that down so i suspect this is going to be a difficult meeting between the two women later this afternoon. Tonight theres a Special Edition of Question Time featuring brexit secretary david davis and Shadow Brexit secretary sir keir starmer. Thats tonight from birmingham at 8pm on bbc one. Later today well be putting your questions to bbc journalists on the triggering of article 50.

Amber rudd is having meetings today to discuss Terror Attacks and how Khalid Masood may have used whatsapp shortly before his attack on westminster. The Iraqi City Of Mosul has had an agonising weekend. The jihadists of so called Islamic State seem determined to fight to the death. It is now clear that at least 100 and maybe many more were killed in an air strike on 17th march. Yalda hakim has been talking to some of the mosul residents who survived the militant snipers and Coalition Airstrikes. They arrived with what little they had. These are the desperate survives of the caliphate. Theyve managed to flee notjust isis snipers but coalition and iraqi air strikes. This is the entrance to the refugee camp. These buses bring people to the actual camp. As soon as people start to arrive, the men and the women are separated because they want to screen some of the men to make sure that theyre not isis fighters or sympathisers. Near a makeshift school, i meet 12 year old mohammed. Mohammed tells me first isis snipers killed his father and then his mother as they tried to get away. He fled here with his two brothers. The camp, now home for the orphans. The camp is overflowing and people are being asked to go to other camps or to east mosul. We travel to the east where injanuary after a battle, thejihadis were driven out. On the side of the road in east, omar his wife and two daughters are waiting for a relative to pick them up. In the dead of night, they left their homes and the fighting in west mosul. Translation the fighting was still happening. We didnt know what we we re happening. We didnt know what we were stepping on. Sometimes even bodies. It was dark and our kids kept falling over. Duecht isis gone from your city . Do you want isis gone from your city . Translation god will have revenge on isis and those who helped isis enter the city. This is one of the bridges that leads to west mosul. Here in the east, life is starting to go back to normal. The traffic is slowing. People are coming out of their homes. Its hard to imagine that just a few weeks ago, isis was beheading people in these streets. Everywhere you look, there is a co nsta nt everywhere you look, there is a constant reminder of the battle that was fought here. 67 year old alia and her family have just rebuilt their home after an air strike destroyed it. How did you find out your city was liberated . Translation they knocked on the door, they were calling out, army, army. They were with tanks and humvees and before that we wouldnt even open the door. Are you worried about the future of your city . Yes, aim worried because west mosul hasnt been liberated yet. The Battle To Retake West Mosul is complicated. The frontline is now in the old city and the area is densely populated. I first came to mosul four and a half years ago, it was tense even then with curfews and complaints from the local sunni population that they were being mistreated by the shia led military. This battle is now in its final stages. Iraqi forces may be fighting to free the people of mosul from the tyranny of the so called Islamic State and their caliphate, but in even more complex tasks lie ahead, reuniting a very divided city. Hakim, bbc news yalda mosul. It has emerged that People Living close to the site of a major explosion on merseyside, reported smelling gas at least 2a hours beforehand. The National Grid has confirmed that reports of leaks were investigated, before the suspected gas blast in bebbington in wirral on saturday. Two people were seriously hurt and dozens others injured when several buildings collapsed. Bt has been fined a record £a2 million by the Communications Regulator ofcom. It found bts Openreach Division had Cut Compensation Payments to other Telecoms Providers for delays in installing high speed business lines. The company said it apologised wholeheartedly for the mistakes. Simon clemison reports. Whether at home or at work, Cable Switch Connectors are still provided by bt. Some carry large amounts of data at great speed. But there are cases where the company has been slow to deliver the lines. And the uk relies on the bigger cables, which make up the network, as they support mobile and broadband operators, as well as big businesses, schools, and hospitals. Where bt fails to meet deadlines for ethernet services, as they are known, they need to pay compensation to the likes of vodafone and talktalk. But they have been using a clause in the contract to reduce payments. Now, bt has been hit with a huge extra bill. In a record fine, ofcom has ordered them to pay £a2 million on penalties. This is the highest fine we have imposed. We feel it reflects the seriousness of the breach in question and the importance of this particular sector of the uk economy. Of course the fine needs to be seen in context and in the round with the significant compensation package. The scale of the fine is said to reflect the importance of bt to other companies, who offer services such as broadband. Bt has apologised, adding that it should never have happened, and that measures have been put in place to stop it happening again. But in addition to the fine, it will need to find the additional £300 million owed to companies in compensation. The family of the us tourist killed in the westminster Terror Attack have been speaking at a News Conference in london. Theyve said that theyve been through a Humbling And Difficult Experience but theyve felt the love of so many people. We are hoping to bring you their words shortly. He was with his wife, melissa, On The Last Day of a trip celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. He was killed, she was badly injured. The family are speaking and well bring you that when we can.

Mps must introduce tougher measures to tackle Childhood Obesity in england, including controlling Supermarket Price promotions on junk food and food high in sugar. A report out today by the Health Select committee argue that plans published by Government Ministers last year miss several important opportunities and dont go far enough. A levy on sugary drinks was the main strand of the governments strategy against obesity last year. Many said it was a start, but they also thought the government could have and should have gone further. Now a group of mps has agreed that much more needs to be done to tackle Childhood Obesity. In particular, they want action to curb discounts and Price Promotions on unhealthy food. The Committee Calls for clear goals on reducing overall levels of Childhood Obesity and for the levy on sugary drinks to be extended to milk based products that have added sugar. We know that one in three ii year olds are overweight or obese and thats not just ii year olds are overweight or obese and thats notjust about individual choices, its about the environment that children are growing up in and really the key thing thats missing from the current strategy is regulation around marketing and the promotions to children. Representatives from the Food Industry itself told the committee that responsible retailers are being disadvantaged by those who continue to offer big discounts on food high in sugarand to offer big discounts on food high in sugar and fat. In a statement, the Department Of Health in england defended its use of a largely volu nta ry defended its use of a largely voluntary approach from the Food Industry to the reduction of sugar and fat and said ministers have not ruled out further measures if results are not seen. The mps argue the situation with Childhood Obesity is so serious and urgent, ministers need to take much morrow bust action. Dominic hughes, bbc news.
