BBC Radio 4 - Today in Parliament, 04/09/2013

Susan Hulme reports from Westminster on the first Prime Minister's Questions since July.

Susan Hulme and the BBC's parliamentary team report as the Prime Minister vows to use Britain's diplomatic 'muscle' to bring Syria's warring factions together for peace talks.

The Prime Minister vows to use all of Britain's diplomatic "muscle" to bring Syria's warring factions together for peace talks.
At question time, David Cameron tells MPs the world is letting the Syrian people down and he regrets losing last week's vote on military action.
But Labour leader Ed Miliband says Labour opposed the government's strategy because it was concerned "about preventing a rush to war" and not because it believed Britain should "shirk its responsibility".
The Government denies it has stopped trying to catch illegal immigrants at Britain's borders following a critical report from the National Audit Office.
And Labour accuses the coalition of presiding over a collapse in living standards and wages. But ministers say their strategy is working with economy now growing again.
Susan Hulme and team report on today's events in Parliament.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
