To the week in parliament as mps take the first parliamentary step on the road to brexit. The ayes to the right 498. The noes to the left 114. So the ayes have it, the ayes have it. At Prime Ministers questions, Jeremy Corbyn demands theresa may retracts her invitation to donald trump to come to the uk and meet the queen. Just what more does President Trump have to do, before the Prime Minister will listen to the 1. 8 Million People whove already called for his State Visit Invitation to be withdrawn . But theresa may rejects that call, and says labour has nothing to offer the uk. He can lead a protest im leading a country. And, in a debate on the damage done by drinking, a former Minister Talks about growing up as the son of an alcoholic. I know what its like to feel that cold nausea, when you find the empty bottles hidden around the house. But first the result was never in doubt, but there was still a sense of drama in the commons when, after two days of debate, the moment finally cam
To Dateline London. Donald trump and the hugely controversial travel ban. Should the president be welcomed in britain . And parliament votes to begin the process of leaving the European Union but what kind of europe will be in existence in some two or three years time . My guests today are jeffrey kofman, who is a North American journalist, mina al oraibi, who is a commentator on arab affairs, Maria Margaronis of the nation, and michael gove, who is a times columnist and conservative mp.

Petula clark went on to have a host of hits in the uk, france, the us and pretty much everywhere else. She has worked with legendary names from fred astaire to serge gainsbourg, and continues to sing and tour. So what makes her tick . Petula clark, welcomed the hardtalk. Thank you, stephen.
