:02:16. > :02:19.of a range of brands. Our business editor Simon Jack
:02:20. > :02:32.has the story. Out of stock, Marmite, Ben and
:02:33. > :02:35.Jerry's ice cream, personal, some of Britain's best-known brands have
:02:36. > :02:41.been withdrawn from the Tesco website tonight as the UK's biggest
:02:42. > :02:45.retailer refused to accept a 10% price increase from the giant
:02:46. > :02:49.supplier Unilever. Retailers and suppliers followed all
:02:50. > :02:53.the time, but university -- industry sources say this is a different
:02:54. > :02:56.magnitude. For the biggest retailer to fall out with the biggest
:02:57. > :03:04.supplier marks a new front in a perennial price war that sum say has
:03:05. > :03:09.escalated because of Brexit. The value of sterling has fallen 17%
:03:10. > :03:13.against the euro since Brexit, meaning Dutch company Unilever is
:03:14. > :03:18.seeing revenue from UK sales fall, so they are upping the price in
:03:19. > :03:23.pounds and pence to compensate. We have seen the pound fall as a
:03:24. > :03:28.result of the Brexit vote. As a lot of food products are imported, this
:03:29. > :03:32.is putting pressure on suppliers. Eventually something will have to
:03:33. > :03:37.give and we eventually may see some of these cost increases coming
:03:38. > :03:40.through to actual prices on supermarket shelves, which will be
:03:41. > :03:45.bad for the everyday average British consumer.
:03:46. > :03:51.It was just last week that the boss of Tesco told the BBC that price
:03:52. > :03:55.pressures were building. There are some pressures, commodity prices and
:03:56. > :04:01.exchange rates will bring pressure into the marketplace, historically
:04:02. > :04:05.that has seen prices rise. But I stress, our approach Tesco is to
:04:06. > :04:08.work ourselves and with suppliers to try to offset those pressures
:04:09. > :04:12.through productivity and other things so but prices do not rise.
:04:13. > :04:17.Working together it appears to have stopped working. In a statement
:04:18. > :04:21.tonight, Tesco had hoped that the dispute would be resolved soon, but
:04:22. > :04:26.until then, shoppers may find that some objects are missing.
:04:27. > :04:34.Simon, can we put some of this into perspective, make sense of the
:04:35. > :04:38.context of the falling pound and Brexit? It is not just Tesco having
:04:39. > :04:41.this problem with Unilever, all the major grocers were hit with the
:04:42. > :04:45.price demand from the Dutch company about three and a half weeks ago,
:04:46. > :04:49.they have mulled over how to respond. It is interesting but Tesco
:04:50. > :04:54.have chosen to call their bluff, if they like. Dave Lewis, the boss of
:04:55. > :04:57.Tesco, used to work at Unilever, so nobody knows about the pricing and
:04:58. > :05:02.pressures that you believe about him. I am saying call their bluff,
:05:03. > :05:05.there are price pressures, obviously the pound has fallen against the
:05:06. > :05:09.euro and the dollar, but some of this is made in the UK, so blaming
:05:10. > :05:14.across-the-board price increases on Brexit on the fall of the pound is
:05:15. > :05:17.trying it on. What will be very interesting is how many other
:05:18. > :05:22.supermarkets going to the same process at the moment will fall in
:05:23. > :05:25.behind Tesco or think to themselves, actually, Tesco not stocking Marmite
:05:26. > :05:33.or personal, that is a horrible place for them to be and we will let
:05:34. > :05:36.them sweat it out. -- not stocking Marmite all Persil. They say that
:05:37. > :05:39.they are acknowledging there are price pressures, they think that the
:05:40. > :05:42.way that Unilever has gone about it wrong, but the price pressures are
:05:43. > :05:44.real and we may see more of them. Thank you, Simon.

:09:55. > :09:58.Let's speak to our political editor Laura Kuenssberg,
:09:59. > :10:08.What do you make of the way that this pressure has been building on
:10:09. > :10:11.the Prime Minister for more oversight in Parliament? Does not
:10:12. > :10:15.seem right now that ministers will budge on this. Technically they
:10:16. > :10:19.don't have to off a vote at this stage, and why would they risk
:10:20. > :10:24.something that would be an extremely serious defeat if they fail to get
:10:25. > :10:28.enough MPs onside. There are two really important things, not just
:10:29. > :10:34.from today's debate but a similar rehearsal of the arguments which
:10:35. > :10:36.happened in the Commons on Monday. First, when it comes to this
:10:37. > :10:42.fiendishly, located process of untangling ourselves from the EU,
:10:43. > :10:46.MPs are clearly not just going to say yes, ma'am, three bags full to
:10:47. > :10:51.everything Theresa May decides to do. Secondly, it has been really
:10:52. > :10:56.striking to see how senior MPs from the Labour Party, the Liberal
:10:57. > :11:01.Democrat party, the SNP and some very well-known Tory faces are kind
:11:02. > :11:05.of collaborating on all of this to push the Government, to call for
:11:06. > :11:09.more scrutiny and, frankly, to send a pretty loud message to ministers
:11:10. > :11:13.that they don't think it is good enough that they are sharing so very
:11:14. > :11:17.little of their intentions for how we get out of the European Union.
:11:18. > :11:22.Two very interesting markers have been put down this week. Parliament
:11:23. > :11:26.will be running at high volume. In a sense, it has its mojo back. There
:11:27. > :11:30.is a sense on the green benches that MPs feel this is a huge moment and
:11:31. > :11:34.they are absolutely determined to have their say by Google or by
:11:35. > :11:39.crook. It is also important to remember that we are in the
:11:40. > :11:44.foothills here of a process that will be like climbing a whole range
:11:45. > :11:50.of mountains, and the big moves, the big power plays in how we actually
:11:51. > :11:53.leave the European Union are months and years away. And the mood in
:11:54. > :11:58.Parliament, the mood in the public and the mood around the whole
:11:59. > :12:02.continent might feel very, very different by the time we actually
:12:03. > :12:03.get to those crunch moments. Thank you very much, Laura

:26:28. > :26:30.the country's top professional bike team, but also the sport's

:27:32. > :27:35.but I'm on the phone. Yeah, I know, but can I just quickly

:27:41. > :27:45.this summer reinforced cycling's status as Britain's most
:27:46. > :27:48.successful Olympic sport, but some senior figures
:27:49. > :27:50.now want change. It's out of control,
:27:51. > :27:53.how it's been handled. I mean this year we've had one saga
:27:54. > :27:57.after another, so you've got to look at the governance and, hopefully,
:27:58. > :28:03.it's all going to get sorted out. Tonight, the sports most powerful
:28:04. > :28:06.figure gave his view. My time as British Cycling
:28:07. > :28:09.president, we insisted on the highest possible standards
:28:10. > :28:13.of integrity in anti-doping. And, ss I say, I will be
:28:14. > :28:19.surprised and disappointed Let's see what this
:28:20. > :28:21.investigation produces. For Yorkshire's cyclists, this
:28:22. > :28:23.is a movement gathering momentum, but for those at the top
:28:24. > :28:26.of the sport the questions It's called walking football,
:28:27. > :28:38.it's a low-impact version of the game for over 50s and it's
:28:39. > :28:42.become so popular that the FA is now drawing up standardised rules
:28:43. > :28:43.for competitive matches. There are more than 1,000
:28:44. > :28:50.clubs registered to play, that is up from 200 just
:28:51. > :28:52.a couple of years ago. Our correspondent, Jon Kay,
:28:53. > :28:55.has been along to a game in Bath It looks like football, it sounds
:28:56. > :29:00.like football, but watch closely. In the last couple of years, 25,000,
:29:01. > :29:03.mainly older people, have taken up walking football,
:29:04. > :29:08.making this one of the fastest growing, but slowest
:29:09. > :29:14.sports in Britain. For some of these men in Bath,
:29:15. > :29:16.it's the first time Kicking a ball again,
:29:17. > :29:19.especially these nice new balls they've got,
:29:20. > :29:22.you know, it's a new world. It's nice to play again
:29:23. > :29:24.and meet new people. I'm slower and I'm older,
:29:25. > :29:27.but the passion for the game and the touch and the feel
:29:28. > :29:30.of the ball is still the same. Just keeping fit and
:29:31. > :29:33.keeping the doctor away. With the first home nations
:29:34. > :29:36.tournament taking place next month, the FA says it's time
:29:37. > :29:44.to clear up the rules. Well, people play just three
:29:45. > :29:47.touches, people play over the head, So you need some sort
:29:48. > :29:50.of standardisation so you can play everywhere because with different
:29:51. > :29:52.leagues, even around here, you can play in different games,
:29:53. > :29:55.but they're all different rules. For example, some clubs say the ball
:29:56. > :30:00.must remain below head height, How do you decide what is walking
:30:01. > :30:05.and what is running? And, should teams be in different
:30:06. > :30:08.leagues according to the age There are a large number
:30:09. > :30:14.and growing number of people Can we play them in structures
:30:15. > :30:18.and leagues and competitions so therefore, at the very heart
:30:19. > :30:21.of that, is having a consistent set We've got guys who've had Parkinson,
:30:22. > :30:26.cancer, still suffering from cancer, But Angelo says walking football
:30:27. > :30:34.should be about inclusion But we don't want it
:30:35. > :30:38.to be too strict. At the end of the day,
:30:39. > :30:41.it's about getting people out of the house, meeting other people
:30:42. > :30:44.and having a game of football. The FA insists it doesn't
