Mediterranean. Thank you. Also coming up, the night runner. The knight runner. Sir mo farah receives his knightood from the queen at Buckingham Palace. Hello. This is afternoon live. Theyre a set of laws from 1539 and they could be about to give theresa may a huge headache. The so called henry 8th powers will be used to help the government steer through vital brexit legislation. And as mps begin line by line scrutiny in the house of commons thats not her only problem. Hundreds of amendments have been tabled to the eu withdrawal bill by labour and conservative rebels. Heres our Political Correspondent alex forsyth. Pages and pages long. This is the bill that will bring all eu law into uk law, ready for the day of departure, so there is no legal black hole when we leave. But several mps are worried about some of the detail in this bill. Secretary david davis. Yesterday, the government gave in and tried to offer an olive branch to those concerned, promising a new act of parliament on the brexit deal. Parliament will be given time to debate, scrutinise and vote on the final agreement we strike with the European Union. This future act would put the Withdrawal Agreement between the uk and the eu into law once it is negotiated, including things like citizens rights, the financial settlement, and details of any transition period. The government says mps will be able to examine and vote on the deal when both sides reach an agreement. They have said they want to achieve a Withdrawal Agreement deal by october next year. That would give plenty of time for parliament to vote on and discuss this legislation and make sure that parliament has the final say on both the Withdrawal Agreement itself and of the implementation period. So, according to ministers, mps will have a crucial say. Do you think this is a meaningless vote being offered . Not all agree with the government. Their critics say take the deal or leave without one isnt a choice at all. Not only does it not give mps the final say because they are being offered a false choice, but it could come very late on the 23rd hour, which wouldnt give us time to do anything to stop it or ask the government to think again so it is completely meaningless. The government had hoped by putting the final brexit into law, promising a vote, it would appease mps with concerns. It doesnt seem to have worked. In fact, now there is opposition to theresa mays plan to set the final brexit date into law, with some of her own mps threatening to vote against her. A lot of people, more than i would have imagined, who are deeply loyal backbenchers, many ex ministers and people of real credibility, are so cross about this that they may well vote against their partys whip. Stop brexit so parliament is set to become something of a brexit battle ground. This is just the start of complex laws that must be passed. Each one a test of the governments authority. Our chief political corresponded vicky young is at westminster. Today gets very serious, doesnt it . Yes, we have had a blizzard of amendments which tells you there are many mps in the house of commons who want to change this bill, you want to put safeguards into it and really the main concern of many is that mps, not today, but later in the process to have a meaningful say in any kind of deal that theresa brings back from brussels. It is a complicated process , from brussels. It is a complicated process, but this afternoon, and for the other days we will follow this, we will try to help people through it and today im joint by a member of the assembly who will also help of the assembly who will also help of that. The snp didnt want brea kfast cu p of that. The snp didnt want Breakfast Cup exit, were deduced this bill to block brexit . Breakfast Cup exit, were deduced this bill to block brexit . I think leaving the eu is a bad idea and im joint by the majority of scots who think it is a bad idea and have voted against it. But as a parliamentarian i have a responsibility to my constituents, but also elsewhere in the uk to make the best of a bad lot, and that is actually something all of that parliament should be thinking about, how does it impact our constituents . On the Education Sector as well. It is ourjob to scrutinise the work of government and right now the government and right now the government is doing a very poorjob and that means we are in the mess we are fiow. And that means we are in the mess we are now. What are the areas, lets ta ke are now. What are the areas, lets take today for example, what are the areas to date that you will be focusing on . One of our amendment for today is amendment 69 which would set a reset. What it means is if you dont reach a deal, rather than crashing with a new deal and implications forjobs than crashing with a new deal and implications for jobs and than crashing with a new deal and implications forjobs and the economy. We say, were not quite there yet, we fall back on membership and we take it from there. That takes the sting out of there. That takes the sting out of the tail. The government is trying to push ahead with this, even though it isa to push ahead with this, even though it is a parliament minority. The government should be reaching out other parties and seeking a compromise. We have offered a compromise. We have offered a compromise. Being part of the Single Market but leaving the European Union. That was a big step us, but let us see the government to step up also. You know what critics will say. They will say you want to stay in the Single Market, you want to stay in the European Union. That is not reflecting the british peoples view. People who voted league told us we view. People who voted league told us we could retain membership and have full access to the supermarket. He was holding them to account . Just as we are proposing right now, who is holding them to account over £350 million extra funding . You make promises when youre a in parliament you are meant to be held accountable. We also want to push on this compromise. Nobody is going to make any progress unless parliamentarians like myself are willing to compromise. What about this idea of a meaningful vote at the end of the process . David davis had been given what others have called a meaningless concession. Saying that parliament and mps will get a say. You could block a deal that he brings back that you are happy with . David davis is only made matters worse worse for himself. What he is offering is do you want a bad deal or a really, really bad your . That is not much of a choice. What was striking is the backlash from his own backbenchers on this issue. Just as we have had all along, the government have been very bad in the handling of this. That is why we want to see a meaningful vote. We shouldnt forget this has an impact on us all, ourjobs, the economy, every sector of life and the environment. Opportunities were young people in the future. That is why we have a responsibility to question the government and hold it to account as much as we can. And just a word on getting consent from the Scottish Parliament, one of the issues cropping outed the cropping up today. We should leave and left the Scottish Parliament give their consent . Yes, that is something we wanted to see. Even before the referendum. Normally when you are acting on areas that are devolved competence, the Scottish Parliament has a say on that. Any issues with the eu will involve the Scottish Parliament and there will bea Scottish Parliament and there will be a consensus nation that the Scottish Parliament will be seeking to improve. These problems could be ove ico [ti e to improve. These problems could be overcome if the Prime Minister. The devolved administration will be as affected as the house of commons will be as well. None of us have all the answers, which is why it is astonishing that the minority government is trying to shove this through without consideration of anybody else. The snp view that. Thank you. Today put my particular debate getting underway soon. There will be a series of votes today and later on this evening. And another seven days in the weeks get to look forward to. What does pretty soon mean . It depends when the previous debate ends. No one knows. Ok, thank you. Dont forget you can let us know what you think tweet us us using the hashtag afternoonlive theresa may has made her strongest attack yet on russia accusing it of using technology to undermine the international order. Speaking at the lord mayors banquet in london last night, the Prime Minister said state run russian organisations were planting stories, meddling in elections and using fake news to undermine societies. It is seeking to weaponise information, deploying its state run Media Organisations to plant fake stories and Photoshopped Images in an attempt to sow discord in the west and undermine our institutions. So i have a very simple message for russia. We know what you are doing and you will not succeed. Our correspondent Steve Rosenberg told us what the reaction had been in moscow. Well, they heard what she was saying but they didnt like it. One brush and senator says these are groundless allegation. Another senator said to be some may have made a fool of herself will stop the message and mocks go moscow is clear, we do not care what you think we are doing. And part of us think the moscow government do not care about being criticised, because they see theresa may is a weak leader. This is the country that invented the phrase i lady to describe margaret thatcher. But president putin does not see theresa may as an lady, rather as a weak minister. Contrary to the strong message was trying to get across. There is another reason they do not care about being criticised. As bizarre as it sounds, the kremlin seems a benefit in being criticised by countries such as britain. Because soon there will be in an election in russia and already there is the idea that kremlin is. It will help you to get elected. More than 500 people are now known to have died after sundays powerful earthquake in iran. More than 8,000 people have been injured. Officials have called off the rescue operation, saying its unlikely that more survivors will be found. The iranian president Hassan Rouhani has visited the affected area. Richard lister reports. The earthquake shook much of the middle east, but this is where it did most damage. Hundreds of people in Sarpol E Zahab lost their lives, tens of thousands lost their homes. Many of these buildings were built by the government as cheap housing after the war with iraq in the 1980s. The question some here are asking is why did so many collapse in an area long prone to earthquakes . Visiting the town today, irans president pledged that anyone whod failed to follow proper building standards would be held accountable but, for now, hes focusing on the survivors. Translation well provide tents for those who need them, and give loans and grants to all those whose houses were damaged and are unsafe. We will give money to everyone who needs temporary accommodation. An estimated 70,000 people need emergency shelter. Helicopters are bringing them supplies, while many roads are still blocked by landslides. The challenge is to keep these survivors healthy as the winter temperatures continue to fall. This is another challenge for the authorities the towns only hospital was so badly damaged its unusable. More than 1,000 of the injured are being treated at hospitals around the region. They are far from home and many wont have houses to return to. Across the border in iraq, hundreds were injured, but only a handful were killed. Aid agencies there say they are ready to assist iran if needed. In case of any need from our iranian brothers, we will definitely provide, across the border, the support they ask for. Sarpol e zahab had to be rebuilt after the war with iraq. Now it will have to be rebuilt all over again. Richard lister, bbc news.

Inflation remains unchanged last month at 3 a five year high despite a rise in food prices. Earlier this month the bank of england raised Interest Rates for the first time in a decade to try and deal with the threat of higher inflation. Our economics correspondent andy verity reports. Upward pressure on prices. This bristol manufacturer in bristol ma kes hig h pressure safety valves used in everything from refrigeration to transport. The Raw Materials it uses that once passed through bristols nearby docks have to be brought in foreign currencies from the euro to the dollar. Because of the weaker pound, you need more pounds to buy the same amount of copper to make a valve. We have seen a 30 increase of Raw Material Prices since january last year. That is a really substantial issue for us. It is about two thirds of that is weakness of the pound, one third of that is caused by commodity price changes increases. The company cant risk passing on those higher costs to its customers, so its profits are being squeezed, meanwhile the workers face higher prices on the supermarket shelves. Cost of living goes up, cost of things in shops, food etc. We just seem to stay at a certain level. Youre not buying as much as you work with the same money before. You are spending more. 3 inflation might not seem too high, but then you see what is driving it food and clothing. And low income households spend more of their money on those items, so they are hit harder in this new bout of inflation. The overall rate of inflation was 3. 0 , slightly less than expected, but food and soft drinks rose by 4. 1 , the fastest rise for four years. However, there are some signs that Inflationary Pressure is easing with Raw Materials up more than 8 in september, but less than 5 in october. The reason why inflation rose is principally down to the drop in the value after the Eu Referendum and we do not expect the pound to fall dramatically further, not to the same extent and what that means is that what probably close to the peak inflation as a result of that fall in the value of the pound. That means there is less of the need to tighten the screw on inflation with another rise in Interest Rates any time soon. The next rise is now expected in the city until august next year.

Motorists should be forced to have their eyes tested every ten years according to the association of optometrists.
