We'll have details of the pricing war and we'll be examining

claims that this is part of the Brexit fall-out.

Ministers say Parliament can't have a veto over the Brexit talks

as some MPs demand a much bigger say in Britain's future outside the EU.

We still have got no offer of a vote, and we need some clarity about

the policy that the Government will pursue, because the Government is

News: Sealed with a six - Chris Woakes finds the stands

to clinch the one-day series The supermarket giant

Tesco is at loggerheads tonight with Unliever,

one of Britain's biggest suppliers It's understood that Tesco has

refused Unliever's demand to raise prices on a range of goods

by around 10%. The demand was said to be prompted

by the falling value of the pound Unilever has now stopped deliveries

to Tesco and the supermarket is running short

of a range of brands. Our business editor Simon Jack

has the story. Out of stock, Marmite, Ben and

Jerry's ice cream, personal, some of Britain's best-known brands have

been withdrawn from the Tesco website tonight as the UK's biggest

retailer refused to accept a 10% price increase from the giant

supplier Unilever. Retailers and suppliers followed all

the time, but university -- industry sources say this is a different

magnitude. For the biggest retailer to fall out with the biggest

supplier marks a new front in a perennial price war that sum say has

escalated because of Brexit. The value of sterling has fallen 17%

against the euro since Brexit, meaning Dutch company Unilever is

seeing revenue from UK sales fall, so they are upping the price in

pounds and pence to compensate. We have seen the pound fall as a

result of the Brexit vote. As a lot of food products are imported, this

is putting pressure on suppliers. Eventually something will have to

give and we eventually may see some of these cost increases coming

through to actual prices on supermarket shelves, which will be

bad for the everyday average British consumer.

It was just last week that the boss of Tesco told the BBC that price

pressures were building. There are some pressures, commodity prices and

exchange rates will bring pressure into the marketplace, historically

that has seen prices rise. But I stress, our approach Tesco is to

work ourselves and with suppliers to try to offset those pressures

through productivity and other things so but prices do not rise.

Working together it appears to have stopped working. In a statement

tonight, Tesco had hoped that the dispute would be resolved soon, but

until then, shoppers may find that some objects are missing.

Simon, can we put some of this into perspective, make sense of the

context of the falling pound and Brexit? It is not just Tesco having

this problem with Unilever, all the major grocers were hit with the

price demand from the Dutch company about three and a half weeks ago,

they have mulled over how to respond. It is interesting but Tesco

have chosen to call their bluff, if they like. Dave Lewis, the boss of

Tesco, used to work at Unilever, so nobody knows about the pricing and

pressures that you believe about him. I am saying call their bluff,

there are price pressures, obviously the pound has fallen against the

euro and the dollar, but some of this is made in the UK, so blaming

across-the-board price increases on Brexit on the fall of the pound is

trying it on. What will be very interesting is how many other

supermarkets going to the same process at the moment will fall in

behind Tesco or think to themselves, actually, Tesco not stocking Marmite

or personal, that is a horrible place for them to be and we will let

them sweat it out. -- not stocking Marmite all Persil. They say that

they are acknowledging there are price pressures, they think that the

way that Unilever has gone about it wrong, but the price pressures are

real and we may see more of them. Thank you, Simon.

The Prime Minister has come under more pressure

from MPs to allow a vote on her Government's Brexit strategy.

Labour insisted that Parliament had to be given the opportunity

to vote on it before the UK begins its formal

But ministers insist that Parliament can't be allowed to have a veto.

During a debate called by Labour, some Conservatives also expressed

unease about the degree of parliamentary oversight.

Our deputy political editor John Pienaar reports.

REPORTER: Should MPs have the final say, Prime Minister?

Theresa May wasn't saying, but she knew the answer.

She's in charge and no one will block Britain's path out of

The Prime Minister and her team mean to be the ones speaking for Britain.

Government and MPs don't always face the same way.

But MPs who say they accept the EU referendum have been told

in the comments they have no choice by the most Eurosceptic

What I'm not going to allow is for any party to have a veto

on the decision to leave the European Union.

Opposition MPs and some Tories want a say and a vote in deciding

Britain's negotiating position as it leaves the EU.

They were told ministers won't show their hand, and they had

In security terms, in control of our borders terms,

in democratic terms and in terms of the access to markets

across the whole world, the European Union and all

of the opportunities we have outside.

And the British people did vote for that, 17

At Question Time, the Prime Minister again made clear trading with Europe

may mean give and take, but EU migration would be controlled

That will include the maximum possible access to the European

market for firms to trade with and operate within

But I'm also clear that the vote of the British people said

that we should control the movement of people from the EU into the UK.

The Labour leader mocked the absence of detail.

This is a Government that drew up no plans for Brexit,

that now has no strategy for negotiating Brexit,

and offers no clarity, no transparency and no chance

of scrutiny of the process for developing a strategy.

The Government is still working out its negotiating position,

Most MPs never wanted Britain to leave and many fear Brexit

There'll be many chances to vote before Brexit becomes reality,

but by ruling out any formal opportunity for Parliament

to approve or veto the deal, the Government is staking not just

Britain's place in Europe but its own authority

From MPs on all sides who opposed Brexit and lost, persistent fears.

Nobody voted on the 23rd of June to take an axe

to the economy or to destroy jobs and livelihoods.

Many people in the country don't think that there is a policy to put

Members opposite want to split us up by saying everything

If you wish to negotiate successfully, show

MPs will have more chances to have their say.

But negotiations are for ministers and they'll stand or fall

by the best deal they can get to take Britain out.

So the Government says there won't be a vote

But there will be votes on the Great Repeal Bill -

legislation to end the supremacy of EU law in the UK, promised

And it's expected that MPs will have a vote on the

Let's speak to our political editor Laura Kuenssberg,

What do you make of the way that this pressure has been building on

the Prime Minister for more oversight in Parliament? Does not

seem right now that ministers will budge on this. Technically they

don't have to off a vote at this stage, and why would they risk

something that would be an extremely serious defeat if they fail to get

enough MPs onside. There are two really important things, not just

from today's debate but a similar rehearsal of the arguments which

happened in the Commons on Monday. First, when it comes to this

fiendishly, located process of untangling ourselves from the EU,

MPs are clearly not just going to say yes, ma'am, three bags full to

everything Theresa May decides to do. Secondly, it has been really

striking to see how senior MPs from the Labour Party, the Liberal

Democrat party, the SNP and some very well-known Tory faces are kind

of collaborating on all of this to push the Government, to call for

more scrutiny and, frankly, to send a pretty loud message to ministers

that they don't think it is good enough that they are sharing so very

little of their intentions for how we get out of the European Union.

Two very interesting markers have been put down this week. Parliament

will be running at high volume. In a sense, it has its mojo back. There

is a sense on the green benches that MPs feel this is a huge moment and

they are absolutely determined to have their say by Google or by

crook. It is also important to remember that we are in the

foothills here of a process that will be like climbing a whole range

of mountains, and the big moves, the big power plays in how we actually

leave the European Union are months and years away. And the mood in

Parliament, the mood in the public and the mood around the whole

continent might feel very, very different by the time we actually

get to those crunch moments. Thank you very much, Laura

Kuenssberg at Westminster. The Russian government has expressed

anger at the call for protests outside its embassy in London

because of its role The Russians were responding

to comments made yesterday by the The Kremlin said Britain had a duty

to guarantee the safety of Russian Our diplomatic correspondent

James Robbins has more details. Russian television has

been full of the story. News of Boris Johnson's verbal

assault in the Commons on Russia's bombing,

including the destruction of a UN aid convoy as well as his call

for demonstrations outside Moscow denounced his words

as Russophobic hysteria and used images from the archive to ridicule

the Foreign Secretary. In London, Jeremy Corbyn's spokesman

suggested protesters against atrocities heading

for the Russian embassy might That angered many at Westminster,

including some Labour MPs. Apart from a lone protester,

there's no sign of demonstrators answering Boris Johnson's call

and massing here outside any of Russia's embassy buildings

in Kensington, but behind the exchange of harsh words

between London and Moscow there lies a brutal political reality -

western governments are all but impotent in the face of Russian

military action in Syria. Humanitarian appeals to stop

the bombing of Aleppo The UN predicts rebel-held areas

in the eastern part of the city will be totally destroyed

by the end of the year, but calls for a no-fly zone

confrontation between Russia In Aleppo itself - and these

are some of the latest pictures - an estimated 250,000 civilians face

death and starvation, Britain's former spy chief is blunt,

he does not see how Nato forces can You cannot pursue humanitarian goals

in Syria and in the process risk confrontation between

the United States and Russia. That is just a gamble

which we cannot afford to take. Which leaves President Putin calling

the shots in Syria, today he blamed President Obama

and the West for the war. TRANSLATION: It is very

BBC News, Istanbul. Three West Midlands police officers

have been charged with perjury and perverting the course of justice

following an investigation into the death of a man

in custody in 2011. Kingsley Burrell, who was 29,

died four days after being detained by officers under the Mental Health

Act. A man has been jailed for at least

27 years for the murder of 15-year-old Paige Doherty,

in West Dunbartonshire, last March. The teenager was stabbed more

than 60 times in what the judge called a "savage and

frenzied" attack. John Leathem, from Clydebank,

murdered Paige after she stopped at his shop on the way

to her Saturday job. Reports from Germany say a Syrian

man suspected of planning a bomb The reports say Jaber

Albakr was found hanged He had been turned in to police

officers says he believes at least 100,000 men in the UK regularly look

at obscene images The Chief Constable of Norfolk,

Simon Bailey, says forces can no longer deal with

the scale of the problem. His comment came on the day

- received a four-year Our correspondent,

Angus Crawford, has more details. We're going to go to his

address and arrest him... A specialist police team have

of an investigation by BBC News. We discovered paedophiles

were using secret groups on Facebook Farey had set up one called

Schoolgirls. It's clear he's taken the picture

from his own jacket, After his previous conviction,

he wasn't even meant to have Today, Farey was given a four

year extended sentence. The judge said he was a dangerous

man, but the truth is there are tens of thousands,

possibly hundreds of thousands, of other men just like him

across the UK who view images of child abuse online and the police

say they're overwhelmed It's significantly in excess

of the 50,000 figure that I believe was probably

accurately assessed in 2013. I think it now goes

significantly beyond that. So is it possible that there

are as many as 100,000 men in the UK regularly viewing

obscene images of children? Yes, I think that's

a conservative estimate. So how can society best protect

children from this kind of threat? Recent figures suggest one in five

by young people themselves. Anybody can take your photographs,

at Pinewood Studios A leaked document, seen

by the BBC and Pulse Magazine, says some GP surgeries at risk

of closure in England should be allowed to fail

and go out of business. A letter from an NHS official

to managers and GPs in one region suggests that these practices

could be "left to wither away." But NHS England suggested it didn't

agree with the comments and it's promised more money

to support some practices. Our health editor,

Hugh Pym, reports. They're at the heart

of local communities, GP practices are at the front-line

of healthcare, but rarely a month goes by now

without reports of closures. Dr Dean Eggett is a GP

leader in South Yorkshire, he says recruiting doctors

is getting harder, patient numbers keep rising and the job becomes

ever more difficult. The pressure on GPs

at the moment is insane. GPs are really struggling

to keep their head above the water and to be able to provide

safe care for patients. It's not going too far to say

that general practice is absolutely in crisis

and on the brink of failure. NHS England says around one in ten

practices are vulnerable, including It set up a ?10 million

support fund, but nearly a year after the launch,

hardly any money has A note, seen by the BBC,

written by an NHS chief in the A mixture of kind of

health promotions stuff... This GP, at a practice

near Huddersfield, doesn't know if they're on the list, he does know

budget cuts are possible, I cannot point to one example

of something that somebody has done. I can see no new investment

into our bottom line budgets. You know, it is no good promising

us a lifeboat in three Patients at the surgery told me how

they felt about the possibility of closure and having to go

further for care. There is a big worry that people

will end up in these super surgeries where it will be difficult to get

an appointment and it's unlikely This surgery to me represents

a certain spirit, it's I'd very feel very angry,

I'd feel frightened. NHS distanced itself

from the comment about practices GPs in Scotland, Wales

and Northern Ireland have called on their governments to invest more

in general practice. It's a frequent refrain around

the UK as the pressure across the NHS landscape

continues to build. For the first time in over 30 years,

Britain is to host cycling's prestigious Road World

Championships. They'll be held in 2019 in Yorkshire

which, two years ago, successfully hosted the start

of the Tour de France. But the news does of course coincide

with a period of controversy over drug use in cycling as our sports

editor, Dan Roan, It's a sight that's becoming ever

more familiar, just some of Otley's Cycling Club's 500

members out on their daily The club has doubled in size

in the last two years, evidence that Britain's

now a cycling nation. And today, here in Leeds,

came more good news. The UCI Road World Championships

in 2019 will take place It'll be the biggest sporting

event in the UK in 2019. It rounds off a decade of great

sport for the country and, for us in Yorkshire,

having had the Tour de France in 2014, two editions already

of the Tour de Yorkshire, to have this huge cycling event

coming here cements us as one This is what helped Yorkshire beat

competition from around the world, the millions that lined

the streets for the start of the Tour de France here,

two years ago, proving a true Two years ago, the world's most

famous bike race began right here in Leeds city centre and now

Yorkshire finds itself right at the heart of Britain's cycling

revolution once again. But today's news comes

amid a growing crisis which is affecting not only

the country's top professional bike team, but also the sport's

governing body. First came scrutiny over

Sir Bradley Wiggins and his therapeutic use exemptions

for a banned steroid shortly before Then came claims from former rider,

Jonathan Tiernan-Locke, that a powerful painkiller

was freely offered when he competed for Britain at the World

Championships in 2012. And finally, it emerged a mystery

medical package had been delivered to Team Sky in June 2011 in France

on the day Wiggins won a race. Team Sky, Wiggins and governing

body, British Cycling, all say that no rules have been

broken, but a UK Anti-Doping investigation has now been launched

into allegations of wrong-doing. The man at the centre

of the controversy is British cycling doctor, Richard Freeman,

formerly at Team Sky. At the weekend he was withdrawn

from travelling to this year's World Championships, but I caught up

with him in Manchester. Can I just ask a quick question

about the delivery you took Can I ask you about Jonathan

Tiernan-Locke's claims that I will answer your questions,

but I'm on the phone. Yeah, I know, but can I just quickly

ask you about that delivery? The use of tramadol,

that Jonathan Tiernan-Locke says Another medal haul in Rio

this summer reinforced cycling's status as Britain's most

successful Olympic sport, but some senior figures

now want change. It's out of control,

how it's been handled. I mean this year we've had one saga

after another, so you've got to look at the governance and, hopefully,

it's all going to get sorted out. Tonight, the sports most powerful

figure gave his view. My time as British Cycling

president, we insisted on the highest possible standards

of integrity in anti-doping. And, ss I say, I will be

surprised and disappointed Let's see what this

investigation produces. For Yorkshire's cyclists, this

is a movement gathering momentum, but for those at the top

of the sport the questions It's called walking football,

it's a low-impact version of the game for over 50s and it's

become so popular that the FA is now drawing up standardised rules

for competitive matches. There are more than 1,000

clubs registered to play, that is up from 200 just

a couple of years ago. Our correspondent, Jon Kay,

has been along to a game in Bath It looks like football, it sounds

like football, but watch closely. In the last couple of years, 25,000,

mainly older people, have taken up walking football,

making this one of the fastest growing, but slowest

sports in Britain. For some of these men in Bath,

it's the first time Kicking a ball again,

especially these nice new balls they've got,

you know, it's a new world. It's nice to play again

and meet new people. I'm slower and I'm older,

but the passion for the game and the touch and the feel

of the ball is still the same. Just keeping fit and

keeping the doctor away. With the first home nations

tournament taking place next month, the FA says it's time

to clear up the rules. Well, people play just three

touches, people play over the head, So you need some sort

of standardisation so you can play everywhere because with different

leagues, even around here, you can play in different games,

but they're all different rules. For example, some clubs say the ball

must remain below head height, How do you decide what is walking

and what is running? And, should teams be in different

leagues according to the age There are a large number

and growing number of people Can we play them in structures

and leagues and competitions so therefore, at the very heart

of that, is having a consistent set We've got guys who've had Parkinson,

cancer, still suffering from cancer, But Angelo says walking football

should be about inclusion But we don't want it

to be too strict. At the end of the day,

it's about getting people out of the house, meeting other people

and having a game of football. The FA insists it doesn't

want to put people off having an informal kick about,

but it does want to take walking Newsnight's about to begin over on
