Tonight at Ten, David Cameron says he's "happy to be judged"

:00:00.:00:09.

on the deal he's negotiating with EU leaders.

:00:10.:00:12.

He's calling on MPs to support his draft agreement,

:00:13.:00:15.

which he claims will make the UK "better and stronger".

:00:16.:00:20.

This is the first time someone has stood up with a unilateral deal

:00:21.:00:23.

to bring powers back to Britain, to give us the best of both worlds.

:00:24.:00:28.

I'm not claiming I've solved all of the

:00:29.:00:31.

problems with Europe but this is a big step forward.

:00:32.:00:34.

But there's a note of caution among some senior colleagues,

:00:35.:00:36.

who warn the deal isn't yet good enough.

:00:37.:00:40.

The Prime Minister is making the best of a bad job.

:00:41.:00:42.

It's more or less what I said yesterday.

:00:43.:00:45.

Most people are looking at this and thinking there's a lot

:00:46.:00:48.

And there was even tougher criticism from other Conservative MPs.

:00:49.:00:52.

We'll have the latest on the Prime Minister's defence

:00:53.:00:54.

On the eve of the latest attempt to end the conflict and destruction

:00:55.:01:00.

in Syria, we report on calls for more help

:01:01.:01:02.

As Syria's peace talks are put on hold, we'll be reporting

:01:03.:01:08.

from Lebanon, a country where a quarter of the population

:01:09.:01:10.

42 years after Lord Lucan disappeared in mysterious

:01:11.:01:17.

circumstances, the High Court finally approves a death

:01:18.:01:19.

And a rare glimpse of more than 100 works by Andy Warhol,

:01:20.:01:25.

The daughter of a pensioner who bled to death in hospital tells us

:01:26.:01:34.

And a supermarket where all the items are 25p.

:01:35.:01:38.

Is it the new way for Londoners to shop?

:01:39.:02:00.

David Cameron has hinted that he'll pursue further measures

:02:01.:02:05.

to protect the sovereignty of the UK Parliament at Westminster,

:02:06.:02:08.

if he wins a new deal on the terms of Britain's

:02:09.:02:10.

During the day, the Prime Minister said he was "happy to be judged"

:02:11.:02:14.

But he's faced criticism from some Conservative colleagues

:02:15.:02:19.

said Mr Cameron was making the "best of a bad job",

:02:20.:02:32.

as our political editor Laura Kuenssberg reports.

:02:33.:02:34.

If the Prime Minister has such a good deal on Europe,

:02:35.:02:38.

some of his colleagues, are, well, a bit

:02:39.:02:40.

The Prime Minister is making the best of a bad job.

:02:41.:02:44.

I regret to inform you that my position is still

:02:45.:02:46.

Yes, let's wait and see when this whole

:02:47.:02:53.

thing is agreed, and try to see what it really means for everyone.

:02:54.:02:58.

Should Cabinet ministers be free to campaign to leave right now?

:02:59.:03:02.

They are not allowed to criticise it yet

:03:03.:03:04.

but they could say they are behind him.

:03:05.:03:06.

So the Prime Minister sped off to make his case to the Commons.

:03:07.:03:10.

We will never be part of the euro, never be part of Schengen,

:03:11.:03:14.

never be part of the European army, never be

:03:15.:03:18.

forced to bail out the Eurozone with our taxpayers' money and never

:03:19.:03:23.

That is the prize on offer, a clear path that can lead

:03:24.:03:28.

to a fresh settlement for Britain in a reformed

:03:29.:03:30.

The Prime Minister says he has secured Britain's

:03:31.:03:36.

exclusion from Schengen, a European army and a European superstate.

:03:37.:03:38.

The Prime Minister is living in a never-never land.

:03:39.:03:41.

We have never argued for those things and don't

:03:42.:03:43.

We need to work with our allies in Europe to achieve the more

:03:44.:03:49.

progressive reforms its people need, to build a more democratic Europe.

:03:50.:03:57.

There was upset from Tory Eurosceptics but less fierce

:03:58.:03:59.

Rather than just rearranging the deck chairs,

:04:00.:04:04.

wouldn't it be better to direct the British people to the available

:04:05.:04:07.

lifeboat while the band is still playing before

:04:08.:04:09.

The thin gruel has been further watered down.

:04:10.:04:17.

My right honourable friend has a fortnight in which to salvage his

:04:18.:04:20.

Some are frustrated because the Prime Minister has not

:04:21.:04:23.

The Tory manifesto in which he committed to ending benefit

:04:24.:04:28.

That is clearly in black and white in the manifesto and what the draft

:04:29.:04:38.

deal achieves is limits on these benefits.

:04:39.:04:40.

In every other walk of life, we all have to compromise.

:04:41.:04:43.

Why don't you accept it is a compromise?

:04:44.:04:44.

I'm very happy to be judged on what we set out in the manifesto.

:04:45.:04:50.

Do you accept there's a difference between what you said

:04:51.:04:54.

I'm happy to be judged on what we have achieved.

:04:55.:04:57.

It is big progress for Britain on things that people previously

:04:58.:05:00.

That we would not get a restriction on benefits,

:05:01.:05:03.

we would not have a four-year deal, we

:05:04.:05:05.

would not be able to address these issues.

:05:06.:05:07.

We were careful in saying, I'm not trying to

:05:08.:05:11.

kick over the table, walk out of the door and say I'm not

:05:12.:05:14.

even going to speak to these people unless I get

:05:15.:05:17.

I said, here are the things we need fixed and we are well on our way

:05:18.:05:22.

So you accept you're on your way to fixing the problems

:05:23.:05:26.

rather than achieving what you promised in the manifesto?

:05:27.:05:28.

We have not yet got the agreement fixed.

:05:29.:05:30.

We have to work very hard in the next two

:05:31.:05:34.

And with no less fuss than usual, if a less

:05:35.:05:38.

flamboyant haircut, senior Tories like Boris Johnson have been pushing

:05:39.:05:41.

David Cameron for something else, too.

:05:42.:05:45.

Perhaps I can ask the Prime Minister how these changes as a result

:05:46.:05:50.

of this negotiation will change the treaty, so as to assert

:05:51.:05:53.

the sovereignty of this House of Commons and of these

:05:54.:05:55.

In other words, a new law that would say our parliament,

:05:56.:06:00.

not the European Court, is in charge.

:06:01.:06:03.

That is a separate measure to the renegotiation but a proposal

:06:04.:06:06.

which is likely to be published alongside.

:06:07.:06:09.

Can you confirm that ministers are working on a new,

:06:10.:06:12.

British law that would make clear it is more important that EU law

:06:13.:06:16.

and that would be published alongside

:06:17.:06:17.

If there's more we can do to make clear parliamentary sovereignty

:06:18.:06:26.

and indeed to reform our situation in terms of the Human Rights Act,

:06:27.:06:30.

Do you deny that ministers are working on such a proposal that

:06:31.:06:35.

you expect to publish alongside the final deal?

:06:36.:06:37.

I've answered the question very clearly.

:06:38.:06:38.

Well, that's the answer you're getting.

:06:39.:06:41.

Do you want this referendum to look like a fair race?

:06:42.:06:44.

Why then are you allowed to be out there making the case for the terms

:06:45.:06:50.

colleagues, some of whom favour leaving the EU, are still expected

:06:51.:06:57.

Once those terms are agreed and once there has been a cabinet meeting

:06:58.:07:01.

to work out on that basis, should we stay, recommend to stay

:07:02.:07:03.

in a reformed Europe, then of course cabinet ministers

:07:04.:07:06.

who want to campaign in the other direction are able to.

:07:07.:07:11.

is a preoccupation for the Prime Minister.

:07:12.:07:14.

But keeping the UK inside the European Union

:07:15.:07:17.

Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster.

:07:18.:07:23.

One of the changes Mr Cameron wants is to stop EU migrant workers

:07:24.:07:32.

here in the UK from sending child benefit or child tax credit

:07:33.:07:35.

This week's proposals are that workers should receive child benefit

:07:36.:07:41.

that's in line with the average wage in their home country.

:07:42.:07:44.

Our home editor Mark Easton considers how it might

:07:45.:07:46.

Out of the 2.4 million EU living in Britain, less than 1%

:07:47.:07:57.

claimed UK child benefit for children living back in their

:07:58.:08:01.

homeland. But it is still a cost of up to ?30 million that the

:08:02.:08:04.

government pledged in its manifesto that Britain would not pay. The

:08:05.:08:08.

Greek manager of this Spanish cocktail bar in Preston is amongst

:08:09.:08:11.

those who think the principle is spot on. Right now, I'm a British

:08:12.:08:18.

citizen. My effort and my work goes to those people's houses, I think

:08:19.:08:23.

it's unfair. With the government reducing that, it's a good thing. I

:08:24.:08:24.

think it is more fair. The proposal reducing that, it's a good thing. I

:08:25.:08:32.

is a new child benefit deal for EU migrants in the UK, although not

:08:33.:08:36.

quite what was promised. Instead of always

:08:37.:08:39.

quite what was promised. Instead of government would offer benefits

:08:40.:08:40.

related to the standard of living where the country -- in the country

:08:41.:08:44.

where the child rather than the parent is. How would it work? In the

:08:45.:08:49.

UK, child benefit the first child is just over ?20 a week, about 5%

:08:50.:08:55.

median income, a commonly used measure for living standards. We

:08:56.:08:58.

don't yet have the details but it could be that EU members including

:08:59.:09:02.

Britain would have the option to pay child benefit to reflect the median

:09:03.:09:06.

income of the country where the child lives. If it is 5% in the UK,

:09:07.:09:11.

we would pay 5% of the median income in remain your for example, rather

:09:12.:09:17.

than 20 point for their pounds, a remaining in the bridge would get

:09:18.:09:20.

something like ?3.50 that the child back home. In Switzerland and

:09:21.:09:24.

Luxembourg where median incomes are higher than Britain, the UK

:09:25.:09:29.

Government might have to pay ?33 per week. We don't have exact numbers

:09:30.:09:33.

but experts do think it is quite possible to introduce such a system.

:09:34.:09:37.

It is the kind of thing that has been done in Europe for a long time.

:09:38.:09:43.

Already, with child benefit, HMRC, who administer it, collect details

:09:44.:09:47.

Already, with child benefit, HMRC, in a fairly long form from all of

:09:48.:09:51.

the EU nationals who make a claim in the UK. It may be feasible and it

:09:52.:09:58.

may appeal to many people's sense of fairness but the proposal would do

:09:59.:10:03.

much to reduce the welfare bill. For every ?350 million Britain spends on

:10:04.:10:08.

child benefit, it might save 99p. Mark Easton, BBC News.

:10:09.:10:10.

Your sense today, having spoken to the Prime Minister, of where he is

:10:11.:10:22.

trying -- tried to square opinion in his own party? If you think of the

:10:23.:10:25.

ferocious arguments inside the Tory party over the years, you might have

:10:26.:10:28.

expected today in the Commons to be brutal. There was criticism but it

:10:29.:10:33.

was rather constrained in comparison to that. In part, that is because

:10:34.:10:37.

David Cameron has for now silenced the ministers who want to leave the

:10:38.:10:41.

EU. In part it is because there are frankly several new generations of

:10:42.:10:45.

Tory MPs in the House of Commons for whom the European Union is not what

:10:46.:10:48.

gets them up in the morning but in part also because David Cameron has

:10:49.:10:51.

held out the prospect of something quite separate to the EU

:10:52.:10:56.

renegotiations themselves, that could establish once and for all

:10:57.:10:59.

that UK law is more important and should take precedence over European

:11:00.:11:05.

law. On that dimension because you raised it with the Prime Minister,

:11:06.:11:09.

protecting the sovereignty of the UK Parliament or even strengthening it,

:11:10.:11:13.

how might it work? That's a very good question and no one really has

:11:14.:11:18.

the answer yet. In theory, it all sounds very well. The government

:11:19.:11:21.

could propose a new law that says what is decided over the road behind

:11:22.:11:26.

me can't be overturned by judges in Europe. Basically, our law would be

:11:27.:11:30.

supreme to what is decided in Brussels. In practice, legally, that

:11:31.:11:37.

is maybe be initially difficult. It is also rather similar to something

:11:38.:11:40.

the government tried to do five years ago that has not really made

:11:41.:11:44.

very much change in practice. Ministers are working on something

:11:45.:11:47.

like this. Conservatives particularly Boris Johnson have been

:11:48.:11:51.

pushing hard for this kind of guarantee behind-the-scenes. I

:11:52.:11:54.

expect that something along these lines is likely to be published

:11:55.:11:58.

around the time of the crucial European Summit in a couple of

:11:59.:12:02.

weeks. It could be the kind of last-ditch measure that brings some

:12:03.:12:08.

wavering Conservatives on board. Thank you for joining us. Laura

Kuenssberg at Westminster. Talks in Geneva on ending

:12:11.:12:11.

the conflict in Syria have been torpedoed by the Syrian

:12:12.:12:14.

government and its allies, That's the allegation made today

:12:15.:12:16.

by the French Foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius, who spoke

:12:17.:12:20.

after a major advance by the Syrian army

:12:21.:12:22.

against opposition forces. Tomorrow, dozens of world leaders

:12:23.:12:26.

will gather in London to try to raise funds

:12:27.:12:28.

to help those affected So far, 4.5 million people

:12:29.:12:33.

have fled the fighting, and one of the countries most

:12:34.:12:38.

affected is Syria's neighbour, The country is now home

:12:39.:12:40.

to over a million Syrian refugees. Let's join my colleague Clive Myrie

:12:41.:12:44.

in the village of Ketermaya tonight. This town has a population of around

:12:45.:12:59.

20,000. A quarter of those people are Syrian refugees, a huge total

:13:00.:13:02.

when you consider the UK as a whole last year took in 1000. News tonight

:13:03.:13:08.

that peace talks have been suspended delays yet again the moment they

:13:09.:13:12.

will return home. One option to be put forward at tomorrow's conference

:13:13.:13:17.

is a radical plan to create jobs in Lebanon, with money from European

:13:18.:13:20.

countries, to stop refugees wanting to head to the EE you. -- EU.

Hand-outs for Syrian refugees in Lebanon,

who all hoped their exile was temporary, but for whom the months

:13:32.:13:34.

Of those who fled Syria, 70% now live in extreme poverty.

:13:35.:13:41.

This man says he wants to work, but it's tough, he'd get less

:13:42.:13:44.

than ?10 a day and there are too few jobs anyway.

:13:45.:13:50.

Vouchers secure a bag of supplies, but this isn't government help,

:13:51.:13:53.

Countries like Britain say they want the labour market opened up so more

:13:54.:14:05.

refugees can work, and they won't try to head for Europe.

:14:06.:14:09.

But Lebanon argues the neighbouring war has wrecked growth.

:14:10.:14:11.

There aren't enough jobs for their own people.

:14:12.:14:13.

TRANSLATION: We depend on charities to help the refugees.

:14:14.:14:15.

The numbers coming here are simply too great for us to cope with.

:14:16.:14:23.

Crop picking in Lebanon has traditionally been dominated

:14:24.:14:26.

But newly registered refugees aren't allowed to work and those

:14:27.:14:33.

unregistered must find an employer to sponsor them.

:14:34.:14:38.

At this warehouse in Beirut, we found several men working

He says workers are often exploited, that he wasn't paid for two months

:14:42.:14:52.

work, but there was nothing he could do.

:14:53.:14:57.

Yes, these children, their families, have escaped a war

:14:58.:15:00.

that's killed thousands, but they're suffering in exile.

:15:01.:15:04.

This half finished shopping mall is home to hundreds

:15:05.:15:07.

Most live hand to mouth, borrowing money, surviving on aid,

:15:08.:15:15.

They include Mariam, a single mum with five children.

:15:16.:15:22.

TRANSLATION: There is nothing to live for.

:15:23.:15:27.

I would love to go home, but the war has gone on so long,

:15:28.:15:31.

I guess I might be stuck in this room for a very long time.

:15:32.:15:41.

This is the province in Syria Mariam left behind.

:15:42.:15:48.

She, like millions of others, now left trying to make a new life

:15:49.:15:51.

Millions of those fleeing the war in Syria haven't managed to escape the

:15:52.:16:00.

country. They are displaced in Syria itself. So what's their future as

:16:01.:16:06.

the fighting continues? Our correspondent has this ex-can clue

:16:07.:16:15.

sieve report from Damascus. -- exclusive.

:16:16.:16:26.

It's a run-down and dirty place to play.

:16:27.:16:28.

Just a stone's throw from a war-battered neighbourhood

:16:29.:16:30.

These children take us into the unfinished building

:16:31.:16:33.

We're told there are about 25 families living here.

:16:34.:16:37.

Most of them have been displaced several times and they actually have

:16:38.:16:40.

to pay rent to live here, even though conditions,

:16:41.:16:42.

Electricity is a luxury, three hours a day, perhaps,

:16:43.:16:47.

I follow one of the residents into her flat.

:16:48.:16:56.

She's just lighting a candle because they have no electricity.

:16:57.:17:00.

Apparently, the place is infested with mice and rats as well.

:17:01.:17:06.

She lives here with her husband and five children.

:17:07.:17:09.

TRANSLATION: We used to live in dignity in our own houses.

:17:10.:17:13.

Now, we are running after charities.

:17:14.:17:15.

We escaped only with the clothes we were wearing.

:17:16.:17:23.

Not all the displaced live like this.

:17:24.:17:26.

We went to the western side of the city, to

:17:27.:17:29.

Before the war this was going to be a school, but it never happened.

:17:30.:17:37.

As soon as the displacement crisis began, the government decided

:17:38.:17:39.

There are currently about 90 families here, but the number keeps

:17:40.:17:45.

changing because people come here as a first step and they leave

:17:46.:17:48.

as soon as they find somewhere else to stay.

:17:49.:17:51.

But government and charity hand-outs don't make up

:17:52.:18:03.

Before the war, this was a prosperous man

:18:04.:18:09.

TRANSLATION: Mohammed, my 19-year-old, was killed first.

:18:10.:18:18.

Back at the flat, little Halla gets a lesson from her big sister.

:18:19.:18:35.

Despite their displacement, the girls still get an education.

:18:36.:18:38.

More importantly, their family's intact, but they still live

:18:39.:18:43.

Many of Syria's children have only ever known life ravaged by war.

:18:44.:18:53.

Some have lost their homes, others their families.

:18:54.:18:55.

With no end in sight, it could take their futures as well.

:18:56.:18:57.

The plight of just some of those still stuck inside Syria. So with

:18:58.:19:14.

peace talks breaking down and the news tonight that Syrian government

:19:15.:19:17.

forces, backed by militias and Russian air strikes are making

:19:18.:19:22.

strategic gains around the city of Aleppo the war grinds on. It means

tomorrow's conference takes on an added significant for those trying

at the High Court. Donald Trump, one of the contenders

:23:25.:23:33.

for the Republican presidential nomination, has called

:23:34.:23:35.

for a new round of voting in the state of Iowa

where Senator Ted Cruz topped Mr Trump has accused

Senator Cruz of electoral fraud. Our North America editor,

Jon Sopel, is in Washington. What is going on, Jon? Huw, even by

Donald Trump extraordinary standards this something on social media he

:23:58.:24:03.

posted two interesting ones. Either a new election should take place or

:24:04.:24:07.

Cruz results nullified. Another one said, Ted Cruz didn't win Iowa, he

:24:08.:24:11.

stole it. It's hard to know whether this is more about politics and his

:24:12.:24:15.

attempt to regain momentum or whether it's about psychology of a

:24:16.:24:19.

man who sees himself as a winner and can't quite get used to the idea

:24:20.:24:25.

that he came second. Ted Cruz has called it "a Trumper Tantrum." This

race isn't just about Donald Trump, there is a lot more to come. New

Hampshire, clearly, is the next big contest. How do you see things

:24:38.:24:41.

developing now? That is a very different type of contest. Even

Democrats can vote for Republican candidates. I saw Donald Trump

trying to position Donald Trump. They believe he can do well on the

:25:00.:25:03.

back of ordinary disgruntled working-class voters who will come

:25:04.:25:06.

over to Donald Trump because they think he can do better. I think that

:25:07.:25:09.

that is what Donald Trump is counting on when it comes to New

:25:10.:25:14.

Hampshire he has a huge fight on his hands. A lot of support for Marco

Specially-adapted cars can be essential for living a full

:25:40.:25:41.

and active life for people living with a disability.

:25:42.:25:44.

They're available through the Motability scheme which offers

:25:45.:25:45.

But under new rules, all members of that scheme,

:25:46.:25:49.

around 360,000 people, are to be reassessed.

:25:50.:25:51.

So far, more than 30,000 drivers have had that assessment and nearly

:25:52.:26:05.

half of those have lost their right to the Motablility scheme.

:26:06.:26:08.

Our disability correspondent, Nikki Fox, has been investigating.

:26:09.:26:10.

These adaptations enable many disabled people to drive,

:26:11.:26:12.

A hoist like this can cost thousands of pounds,

:26:13.:26:15.

but help comes in the form of the Motability scheme.

:26:16.:26:17.

Denise got this car on that very scheme.

:26:18.:26:22.

As a child protection officer, for her this specially adapted

:26:23.:26:25.

I can't physically get out without it.

:26:26.:26:32.

Born without thigh bones, Denise says she cannot walk more

:26:33.:26:35.

I can't even walk to work, so I would have to give my job up.

:26:36.:26:42.

360,000 people like Denise are being reassessed as part

:26:43.:26:45.

of the switch from disability living allowance to a new benefit called

:26:46.:26:51.

Following her assessment, Denise was told she's no longer

:26:52.:26:56.

disabled enough to receive the money that helps pay for her car.

:26:57.:26:59.

I have never, ever in my life, never felt disabled

:27:00.:27:04.

It's supposed to be personal independence.

:27:05.:27:08.

It wasn't personal and it's not making me independent in any way

:27:09.:27:11.

Denise is taking her case further, and she's not alone.

:27:12.:27:16.

Latest figures show of all the appeals to do with personal

:27:17.:27:20.

independence payments, 60% have been found in the claimant's favour.

:27:21.:27:24.

What's going wrong with the assessment process?

:27:25.:27:28.

There are millions of people in this system, there will be mistakes.

:27:29.:27:32.

If you don't get the decision that you think is right for you,

:27:33.:27:35.

we set out exactly why, which gives you that opportunity

:27:36.:27:38.

to think - well, actually, if only my occupational therapist

:27:39.:27:40.

or my physio or my GP had submitted evidence.

:27:41.:27:45.

Rightly, we have a system that allows for an appeal,

:27:46.:27:47.

so you've got opportunities to submit that evidence to get

:27:48.:27:50.

For many disabled people, driving is the only option

:27:51.:27:55.

and the Motability scheme helps make that a reality.

:27:56.:27:57.

But with hundreds of thousands of drivers still to be reassessed,

:27:58.:28:00.

the odds are there will be many more who stand to lose their cars.

:28:01.:28:04.

Andy Warhol, one of the most influential artists of the 20th

:28:05.:28:14.

Century, produced images which are instantly recognizable,

:28:15.:28:17.

but a significant body of work remains in private collections.

:28:18.:28:22.

A new exhibition in Oxford offers an opportunity to enjoy the contents

:28:23.:28:34.

of one of the most important private collections,

:28:35.:28:35.

the owner of which has been talking exclusively to our arts editor,

Princess, if you had the money you could have your own Warhol. He has

exhibition are owned by one man Andy Hall a commodities trader. Why

:29:05.:29:09.

Warhol? Why not, Warhol. What does it do for you? He represents an age

:29:10.:29:14.

in an age I grew up in, I guess. When did you start the Warhol

:29:15.:29:20.

Collection? I turned 50, 9/11 happened. Suddenly I thought - there

account. How much has this collection cost you? You know, I

:29:29.:29:32.

can't give you an answer on that. I'd have to look back through old

:29:33.:29:37.

invoices and add them all up. Hundreds of millions. No? No, a lot

:29:38.:29:44.

less than that. They're not cheap. You can, at least I can afford them,

:29:45.:29:48.

fortunately, I think we've been able to put together an interesting group

:29:49.:29:54.

of works that span his whole career. Professionally, you work within the

:29:55.:29:59.

hedge fund arena. Here you have spotted a part of what Warhol's

:30:00.:30:05.

which has been slightly overlooked and is now being reconsidered. You

work of art that your' wasting money. So, it's nice if, I suppose,

:30:13.:30:19.

if it appreciates, that's not the driving reason why we're collecting.

:30:20.:30:22.

It's because we want to tell a story, I guess. With the benefit of

:30:23.:30:27.

hindsight you can see that Warhol actually was probably one of the

:30:28.:30:34.

greatest portraitists of the 20 Century. When you see a group
