after a vintage plane crashed into a mountain in switzerland. the crash happened on a range to the east of the country after half a century making people laugh, barry chuckle, of the chuckle brothers, has died. brother, paul says he's lost his very best friend. and at 2:30, the money clinic travels to nairobi in kenya, where young couples are trying to work out how to manage the considerable costs of getting married. good afternoon. the president of venezuela, nicolas maduro, says an attempt has been made on his life using drones carrying explosives. he was addressing a military parade in the capital, caracas,

during a live television broadcast when the alleged attack occurred. mr maduro escaped without injury, but officials say seven soldiers were hurt. here's matt cole. addressing crowds with a speech on the economy, with his wife alongside, nicolas maduro was unexpectedly interrupted. all eyes looked up, seeking out the source of the two loud bangs. set out in precision formation, the national guard had been listening to their leader. but look to the right of the screen. after the bangs, a handful break ranks, followed by a stampede for cover. it's claimed two drones exploding above were the source of the panic. later, and clearly furious, president maduro spoke about what he termed an attempted assassination. translation: i have no doubt that everything points to the right, to the venezuelan ultra—right in cahoots with the colombian ultra—right and the colombian

president is behind this attack. colombia denies any involvement, and by contrast to his leader, venezuela's communications minister has blamed his president's right—wing opponents for the alleged attack. with investigations now under way, so much remains unclear, including suggestions the drones were shot down before reaching their target. a little—known group called soldiers in t—shirts has claimed on social media that it was behind it. but with venezuela's leader painted by opponents as a ruthless despot who detains political rivals on trumped—up charges, some are questioning whether this will be used to justify further clamp—downs. president maduro‘s allies cuba and bolivia have condemned the incident. us officials say the white house is monitoring the situation closely, but added no further comment. matt cole, bbc news. jeremy corbyn, has posted a video online addressing anti—semitism, saying it has no place in the labour party.

the labour leader said that they must drive it out of our movement for good. it follows comments by the party's deputy leader tom watson, who has said that the party faces what he calls "eternal shame" unless it immediately stops its "damaging" arguments over anti—semitism. our political correspondent, tom barton, is in westminster. this has been a dispute that labour seems unable to get beyond. what is mr corbyn and his allies hoping can be achieved by his video message following an article he wrote in a newspaper on friday? this dispute over the rules over anti—semitism in the labour party just over the rules over anti—semitism in the labour partyjust goes on, and on. to answer your question, they had to draw a line under it. the video message today will attempt

that. but that might prove difficult when you've gotjeremy corbyn‘s second in command, tom watson, talking to the guardian this morning saying that the party is at risk of disappearing into a vortex of eternal shame and embarrassment over this issue. there is a danger the party might render itself unfit for office. tom watson's issue is around the rules that the labour party has recently adopted, surrounding how it deals with anti—semitic conduct. while they did adopt the internationally accepted definition of anti—semitism, they didn't include or change for examples of what anti—semitic conduct could look like. tom watson says they should include all of those examples. we did askjeremy corbyn‘s office and jeremy corbyn himself to respond to tom watson's comments today and they

we re tom watson's comments today and they were unwilling to do so. but we do have this video published by the labour party ofjeremy corbyn, sent directly to labour party members and in itjeremy corbyn said anyone who uses anti—semitic poison, need to know they do so not in his name or the name of the labour party. and anyone who denies anti—semitism has emerged within the labour party is actually wrong, in his words, and he says are contributing to the problem. why is this row causing so much damage to the labour party givenjeremy corbyn has said, it in his view, the changes still capture the essence of the international definition, even if they don't use they exact words? the issue is around the fact that many within the jewish community, and indeed many labourmps, jewish community, and indeed many labour mps, jewish labour mps and those who are notjewish, don't act

set his argument. they say around the world, this definition has been accepted. why should the labour party set itself apart from all of those other organisations which do accept this definition. as you say, the labour party said the changes they have made to the definitions expand on and contextualise the arguments surrounding anti—semitism and that essentially, they say they are improving it. they point out of course, that the labour party has reopened a consultation into the code of conduct they have recently introduced and so changes could potentially, in the future, be made to it. but some, tom watson, among them may be disappointed by the messagejeremy corbyn put out today doesn't address the key issue which

definition and have the definition of anti—semitism is rolled into the labour party rule book. let's talk about another story in the newspapers today, that liam fox has given to the sunday times, talking up given to the sunday times, talking up the prospects for a no—deal brexit? not just up the prospects for a no—deal brexit? notjust talking them up, but saying it is the most likely outcome at the moment. liam fox saying intransigence outcome at the moment. liam fox saying intra nsigence by outcome at the moment. liam fox saying intransigence by the european commission in the negotiations means there is a 6040 channels, in his view of a no—deal brexit. —— chants. downing street have distanced themselves from those comments saying, in their view a good deal for britain within the european negotiations is the most likely outcome. they say that is their focus and they think they are going to achieve it. it is worth pointing out, to some extent, liam fox has been our message with this. jeremy

hunt, the foreign secretary has been around europe this week, talking up this idea of a no—deal brexit, saying every single day, the likelihood of an accidental no deal gets closer. 0f likelihood of an accidental no deal gets closer. of course, what he didn't say is that it is more likely to happen than not. but there is a message from ministers and that is that no—deal brexit is possible and if it were to happen, it might be damaging to the british economy, but it would be very damaging to economies across europe. thanks very much. the government's publishing plans for a new system for organ donations in england. from spring 2020, most adults would be considered as potential donors unless they opted out. ministers say up to 700 more lives could be saved each year. our health correspondent catherine burns reports. she was always bubbly there, weren't she?

hayley louisejordan‘s parents say she was always fun but liked to plan ahead, so she was in her 20s when she signed up to the nhs organ donor register. her family thought nothing of it. she's gorgeous there, ain't she? yeah. but when hayley was 32, she had a brain haemorrhage. doctors pronounced her brain dead and asked her parents about donation. i didn't have no hesitation. we walked hayley to theatre, said goodbye and ijust kissed her and said, "go save some lives, hayley." public support for organ donation is high. it's thought about 80% support the idea, but only 37% have signed up to become donors. in reality, only a tiny number of deaths are suitable, but the government thinks changing the system could generate hundreds of extra transplants a year. the system for organ donation was overhauled ten years ago with some considerable success. now, for the first time, more than 5,000 people have had transplants in the uk over 12 months. last year, just over 1,500 people

donated organs after their death, and that is a record high, but still, there are just over 6,000 patients on waiting lists for transplants, so, under the new system, all adults would automatically be considered as donors unless they actively opt out. in the last year, more than half a million people across the uk have officially said no to donation, even though so far only wales has a system where people need to opt out. scotland plans to introduce one too and northern ireland has rejected the idea. there just isn't the evidence that this will actually deliver more organs that are in line with the wishes of the donor. and secondly, there is a fear, and we don't know if this is the case or not, that it may change perceptions of donations, so rather than it being seen as a gift, it could be seen as the state taking organs. so could this mean organs being taken against the wishes of relatives?

the government says absolutely not. their views would still be paramount. the reality is what we're trying to do is make it easier for people to record their wishes and by definition that will make more organs available, but i would say we will never stop looking to see what else we can do to increase the supply of organs and save more lives. carol says she gets great comfort from knowing her daughter's organs went on to help several sick people. it's like a miracle that's happened for six recipients, and i just wish them all the happiness and health. catherine burns, bbc news. swiss police have confirmed that all 20 people on board a vintage plane which crashed yesterday in eastern switzerland were killed. the junker 52, built in the mid 20th century, came down high in the alps. the reason for the crash is still unclear. swiss police say the plane appeared to nose dive, and then hit the ground at high speed. the bodies of the victims, 17 from switzerland and three from austria, are still being recovered. a second major earthquake
