Parliament to vote again on Brexit – BBC News

Published

on



The British government has confirmed that parliament will vote on Brexit again on Friday, but only on one part of the deal reached with the European Union.

Members of parliament will vote on the withdrawal agreement including the Irish ‘backstop’, divorce bill and citizens’ rights.
But it will not amount to a third ‘meaningful vote’ on the deal, as it will not include a vote on the UK’s future relationship with the EU.

Meanwhile the British Chambers of Commerce said MPs need to stop “chasing rainbows” when it comes to resolving the Brexit impasse. At their annual conference, they said the Brexit uncertainty is already doing “real world damage” to the UK economy.

The 29th March was meant to be the day that Britain left the European Union. The BBC has been talking to voters in Weston-Super-Mare in North Somerset, where like the UK as a whole, they voted 52 to 48 in favour of Leaving.

Laura Kuenssberg, Emma Vardy, Simon Jack, John Pienaar and Ed Thomas report for the BBC News at Ten, presented by Sophie Raworth.

President Xi greeted by Donald Trump as he rolls out red carpet for Chinese leader | BBC News

Published

China’s President Xi has been greeted by Donald Trump as he arrived in Washington for a historic summit.

The White House has rolled out the red carpet for China’s leader Xi Jinping, with AI, trade and Taiwan expected to be on the agenda for the leaders of the global superpowers.

Xi was greeted personally by Trump at Andrews Air Force Base on the eve of a White House state dinner and a military flyover.

The three-day trip marks Xi’s first state visit to the US since 2015 and his third meeting with Trump in the past year.

Adding to the high-stakes state visit, a US-China trade agreement reached last year is set to expire in November.
The trade truce – reached in October 2025 as Trump and Xi met in South Korea – saw Washington suspend steep tariff increases on Chinese goods while Beijing eased back from restricting rare earth exports critical for manufacturing.

Experts said they will be watching for some sort of announcement around an extension of this agreement during the state visit.

Xi’s trip to Washington, which ends on Friday, will have plenty of pomp and pageantry, and includes lavish dinners, private tours and performances. He is accompanied by First Lady Peng Liyuan who is expected to visit the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art with US First Lady Melania Trump on Thursday.

Reeta Chakrabarti presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Sarah Smith, Laura Bicker and Faisal Islam.

Official data shows police forces across England and Wales, excluding the British Transport Police, recorded 502,011 shoplifting offences in 2025-26 alone.

More than half of those investigations were closed with no suspect identified.

The government said it is exploring other avenues of tackling prolific shoplifting, in addition to prison sentences and drug treatment, such as technology or court orders preventing them from visiting certain shops or areas.

Earl Spencer, the brother of Diana Princess of Wales, has told the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg that he stands by his claims that King Charles, in the days after her death, said “rest assured, we’ll forget her soon enough”.

A Buckingham Palace Spokesperson said: “While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss.”
