Brexit: Commons tries to break deadlock

News and issues making the headlines each day.

MPs are preparing to vote for how they want the UK to leave the EU, with the Prime Minister due to meet Conservative backbenchers in an effort to win them over to her deal.

The Speaker will select around half a dozen options, likely to range from cancelling Brexit to leaving the EU without a deal. The process is likely to continue into next week.

Also on the programme: A look at captured foreign Islamic State fighters and the debate over where they should face sentencing; and the company that has successfully started salmon farming in the UAE.
