a special report on propaganda, fake news and russia in particular. this deception these days simply designed to confuse us. we will try to understand the new rules of the game and alistair campbell will be here talk about politics, and lies as well. good evening and welcome to bbc news. the board of deputies of british jews and thejewish leadership council held talks with labour's jeremy corbyn this evening following the incidence of anti—semitism in the party. they described the meeting as a disappointing missed opportunity. mr corbyn said he was committed to rooting out anti—semitism. 0ur deputy political editor john pienaar has more. celebrating equality. jeremy corbyn is always keen

on events like this one, today saluting women's suffrage, but it's his commitment to fairness and decency that's being challenged now. chanting: shame on you! remember this? jewish activists demanding action last month to confront anti—semitism in the party. community leaders were bringing the same demand to westminster today. if these concerns are genuine, they are the last thing you would want to hear. we have to deal with anti—semitism in our society, including in the labour party and the labour movement, and that's exactly what we're doing. any sort of breakthrough this evening? listen, it's not a question of breakthrough, it's a question of continuing the work all the time to deal with racism and discrimination in our society, and say that we're not prepared to accept anti—semitism in any form. reporter: will this meeting mark a turning point, do you think? they came from the board of deputies of britishjews and thejewish leadership council.

supporters insisted mr corbyn had questions to answer. labour's anti—semitism is much worse sincejeremy corbyn became the leader. at least 80 cases of anti—semitism not dealt with. regularly, almost daily, i hear allegations about anti—semitism. the delegation wanted action — an ombudsman answerable to the party and to them, a ban on mps and others sharing platforms with anyone suspended for anti—semitism. afterwards they said all their demands were turned down. 0ur sole objective from this meeting was to build trust with mr corbyn, but this will not be possible until he and his party turn their many strong words against anti—semitism into equally strong actions in order to bring about a deep cultural change in his supporters' attitudes to jews. so, as of now, you're not minded to accept mr corbyn‘s good faith? we are again going to test his words by the actions which follow them or which don't follow them.

so, no resolution, no breakthrough in this confrontation so far. some of mr corbyn‘s supporters believe the complaints are a ploy by his political opponents. mr corbyn hasn't endorsed that view and today he apologised, but his critics want more action, notjust more words. mr corbyn has plenty of support and his team say he will personally lead labour's response. his party's reputation forfighting racism and hate depends on convincing the doubters. john pienaar, bbc news, westminster. president trump has warned iran of big problems if it restarts the nuclear programme that it agreed to limit in a deal struck in 2015. mr trump described that deal as insane and has been threatening to reject an extension which has to be in place within weeks. on a state visit to the white house, france's president macron urged him to consider a new agreement. 0ur north america editor jon sopel reports. the first state visit of the trump era and the french

were given quite the welcome. these things are about pomp. they're about ceremony. and this one had one added ingredient — bromance. the two men held hands, they kissed, they hugged. and the biggest beast of the politicaljungle even engaged in a bit of interpersonal grooming with his younger colleague. in fact, i will get that little piece of dandruff off. little piece. we have to make him perfect. he is perfect. this most unlikely pairing have forged a close personal relationship. though on many policies, they are miles apart. just listen to emmanuel macron‘s introductory comments. it sounded like a repudiation of trumpism. he says the world must resist aggressive nationalism and work multilaterally. it is really great to be with

you and you are a special friend. their biggest divide is over the iran nuclear deal. president macron says keep it, donald trump for three years has said it has to go. it's insane, it's ridiculous. it should have never been made. but we will be talking about it. ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states and the president of the french republic. but then, after lengthy talks that overran massively, the french president seemed to offer a new way through on iran. don't scrap the deal which the americans have to renew by may 12th, build on it. in other words, a third way. what we have to work on, obviously with iran, and the different parties, the regime, the p5, our allies, is to find a third deal where we can fix the situation. this is the only way to preserve sovereignty in the region and to build peace on the very long run. and donald trump, significantly, did not rule that out.

there is a chance, and nobody knows what i'm going to do on the 12th, although mr president, you have a pretty good idea. but we will see. we will see also if i do what some people expect whether or not it will be possible to do a new deal with solid foundations. at that, the french president seemed to nod in agreement. but from outside the white house cocoon, a stark warning from tehran. translation: i'm telling those in the white house that if they do not live up to their commitments, the iranian government will firmly react. if anyone betrays the deal, they should know that they will face severe consequences. and that brought an even more muscular response from the president. if iran threatens us in any way, they will pay a price like few countries have ever paid. the news conference ended as the day began with bon ami, —— bonhomie, and president macron making a determined effort

to pull donald trump in a new political direction. a high courtjudge has rejected the latest application from the parents of the severely ill boy, alfie evans, to allow him to travel abroad for treatment. the judge said his decision represented the final chapter in the case of this extraordinary little boy. alfie, who's nearly 2 years old, has a degenerative neurological condition and is being cared for at alder hey hospital in liverpool. doctors say further treatment would be unkind and inhumane, as our correspondent danny savage reports. alfie evans' father says his son was taken off life support treatment late last night, but after breathing on his own for several hours, lawyers from the christian legal centre again asked the judge to allow alfie to be taken to italy for treatment. if they either let me go to italy or to at least give me the grace and the dignity to take him home to share whatever days or weeks that he may remain.

so, i think the doctors now need to sit down amongst themselves and say would it be the right thing, and is there a way out of this for us. tom evans met the pope last week to ask for help. alfie's family want his treatment and life to continue. last night, the pontiff tweeted his support stating, "i renew my appeal that the suffering of his parents may be heard and that their desire to seek new forms of treatment may be granted." at the court hearing this evening, a judge ruled that taking alfie abroad was not in his best interests. the judge said that the hospital and alfie's parents must now discuss his end of life care, either here at alder hey, in a hospice or possibly even at home. staff here say a hostile atmosphere, from some of alfie's supporters, isn't helping.

they are trying to do their best for him. all of the things that they can do to support alfie, in terms of his wellbeing, will be done, but they're supportive measures rather than new treatments or cures at this stage. tonight, alfie's father suggested another court hearing will take place. alfie's fighting, so i'm going to remain at his bedside with his mum all night, and i'm going to fight. he is not giving up his legal battle to get his son moved out of the country. danny savage, bbc news, liverpool. a man accused of deliberately driving a van into pedestrians in the canadian city of toronto has been charged with ten counts of murder and 13 of attempted murder. alek minassian made his first appearance in court. officials say the 25—year—old has no known links to any terror groups. 15 people were injured in the attack. tsb says it's still working to resolve the issues which have left its 5 million customers without proper access to mobile or online banking for more than four days. some have been able to see details

of other people's accounts; others are unable to make payments as well as access their money. tsb's chief executive said he was deeply sorry, and that no customers would be left out of pocket due to the problems. there's a growing divide between the young and the old in the uk — with people from different generations leading increasingly separate lives. that's what mps have been told today. they've been looking at research which shows that both old and young are among the most likely in society to feel lonely. as part of our crossing divides season alison holt has been looking at the work being done to bring generations together. i get exercise, plus it's a little feel good thing when i visit dennis. when viviennejones starts a run, she knows her coach dennis is waiting at the other end. she belongs to a charity called the good gym and this run is helping

tackle the increasing problem of loneliness faced by both young and old. hello. it's very cold out there. yeah, it's a bit chilly. 78—year—old dennis is called her coach because he's the motivation for the run. since having a stroke, he's found it difficult to get well, i've been like a hermit, ijust sort of gave up. that is what people do, really, the older people. how do you like being vivienne‘s coach? oh, yeah. i'm somebody again. do you think that's where the double decker bus came from? and dennis' stories of growing up in london's east end help vivienne, whose family's in australia, feel rooted in her new home. he's a really great storyteller. it's also real interesting just to hear his way of thinking and, like, the different values and things like that. yeah, it's always a bit of a treat. a bit of a surprise every time. there'll soon be more than 50 such gyms providing grassroot support for people like terry grant, who's recently returned from hospital and needs his garden clearing. he believes initiatives

like this, that connect the generations, are vital. it's a lifeline. if you do not talk, you never understand, you never learn. tell me why you feel it's a lifeline, terry? human beings need to mix with one another. over a million people in the uk, who are over 60, are always or often lonely. instead ofjust saying — oh, you're old and lonely, you need help, what we're saying is — why don't you help us to get fitter. projects like this bring different generations together, helping people understand more about each other‘s lives, and that's an idea that's really taking hold. do you remember taking records to parties? and people nicking them! manchester cares is another expanding charity tackling the same sort of issues by getting people involved. this desert island discs evening brings neighbours of different ages together. i suppose i've been in manchester

three years now and i was kind of like, i barely know anybody either, so it felt like a good way to meet other people as well. you don't think younger and older people mix these days, but they do, if they try. younger people can have hundreds and hundreds of interactions or connections in our social media age, but not that many roots in their community, and these two groups are often living side by side. so we bring those two demographics together. evenings like this break down barriers. but with different generations living increasingly separate lives, the big challenge is to get many more people taking that first step. alison holt, bbc news. that's a summary of the news. now on bbc news, it's time for newsnight with evan davis. he is going to be a great president of france, that's my prediction, only a prediction. we do have a very

special wallacia ship. in fact i can do this. he is perfect! i like him a lot —— special relationship. suddenly it seems there are three of us suddenly it seems there are three of us in this special relationship. trump and macron, an extraordinary bromance in washington. should it be the reason they who is there? maybe we don't want to bid from's best friend anyway. we cannot help but ask if this is a sign of diminishing uk influence. labour is meeting withjewish community groups does not seem to have gone well. we hear of a key player in the room. also tonight: this is a world with as many realities as there are points of view. in this game, seeing and believing have switched places.
