this is bbc news, i'm martine croxall. the headlines at eight. two people are arrested following a car bombing in londonderry last night. police describe the attack as unbelievably reckless. a highly unstable crude device could have detonated at any time. a callous act. a deliberate act against the people of derry. the prime minister briefs her cabinet ahead of a statement to mps tomorrow about the next steps on brexit. it comes after downing street warned mps not to try and block brexit. parliament has not got the right to hijack the brexit process because parliament said to the people of this country, "we will make a contract with you. you'll make the decision and we will honour it." a funeral is held in hertfordshire for six unknown auschwitz victims — whose remains were handed to a british museum more than 20 years ago. police speak to the duke of edinburgh after he was seen driving without a seat belt — two days after being involved in a crash near sandringham.

and astronomers are hoping for clear skies early tomorrow morning, to view a total lunar eclipse known as a super blood wolf moon. and in a special edition of inside out — a britishjewish man, whose family fled the nazis, considers applying for german citizenship — and lorry drivers discuss their views as kent prepares for brexit. that's coming up at 8:30pm. good evening. welcome to bbc news. there's been widespread condemnation of a car bombing outside the courthouse in londonderry last night, which police have called a callous attempt to kill people. no—one was injured, but a nearby hotel was evacuated. the dissident republican group, the new ira, is suspected of being behind the attack. two men have been arrested.

our ireland correspondent, emma vardy, reports. this cctv shows the vehicle arriving outside the courthouse in londonderry city centre. the driver parks up, then runs away. shortly after, a group of people passed by oblivious. the device detonates atjust after eight o'clock last night. i thought this was all a thing of the past, so it's a bit, you know, don't really know what to think, to be honest. this doesn't accomplish anything, it doesn't prove anything. what are they trying to prove? a warning was called in, but police had already spotted the suspicious vehicle some ten minutes earlier, and were evacuating the city centre. hundreds of people were led to safety from the busy hotels and bars. today, two men in their 20s were arrested and remain in custody. thankfully, the local community and the police service acted bravely together, and we got everybody awayjust in time.

the bomb detonated just as we were leaving the area, and it's only by good grace that local people weren't killed. this attack has been linked to the dissident republican group, known as the new ira, prescribed organisation which aims to bring about a reunited ireland. police say a pizza delivery van was hijacked by two armed men in derry, a short time before the explosion. it was a very crude device that was placed inside this vehicle, but officers described it as a significant attempt to kill people. scenes like this were once common in northern ireland, but not any more. my message to those, whoever they are, who were responsible for this action, is to stop. to understand that they have no support for such actions. the democratic unionist party leader, arlene foster, called it a pointless act of terror, which must be condemned in the strongest terms. the police evacuation meant there were no

injuries, but the incident reawakens memories of darker times. emma vardy, bbc news, derry. theresa may has been speaking with members of her cabinet to discuss how she intends to break the brexit deadlock. the prime minister is due to address mps tomorrow. meanwhile, with the uk due to leave the eu on march 29th, at least one cross—party group of mps is discussing how parliament could ensure a no—deal brexit is avoided. our political correspondent alex forsyth reports. the noes have it. unlock! it's been five days since theresa may's brexit plan was thrown out, rejected by mps. and while she's working out her next steps, some of the back benches have plans of their own. some want to change parliament's rules, its standing orders, so mps could delay the brexit process to stop a no—deal scenario. what the commons, or this group of mps, is doing,

is trying to work within the normal traditions of the house, albeit changing some of the standing orders, to try to ensure the house of commons has a proper voice in, what is without doubt, the biggest crisis in our modern peacetime history. it could change the way this place works, giving backbench mps, not ministers, more power to dictate what comes before parliament, shaping policy. something government claim, that's extremely concerning. what we are now getting are some of those who are always, absolutely opposed to the result of the referendum trying to hijack brexit, and in fact steal the result from the people. the bottom line is, parliament is gridlocked. while some mps want a pause in the process, others want to get on and leave, deal or not. some want a total rethink, or another public vote, and some believe the prime minister's deal, with some changes, can be salvaged. the international trade secretary said changing the controversial plan to avoid a hard irish border might bring mps around. to avoid a hard irish border might bring mps round.

we actually agree that no matter what, there should be an agreement that ensures that there's no hard border between the united kingdom and ireland, the question is, can we achieve what the irish government wants, and what we went, by a different mechanism? but there's no detail of an alternative and at of an alternative and the irish foreign minister isn't convinced, tweeting, the irish government's commitment to the current withdrawal agreement, the existing plan, is absolute. labour says theresa may now has to fundamentally shift her position. if the prime minister won't move her red line, won't move her red lines, she can see what's going to happen, which is parliament is going to try to take control of the process. that is, that is because people are frustrated with the prime minister this is only happening because of not, and i think in the next week or two, other options will now be tested one way, or another. so, expect further turbulent scenes when the prime minister appears here tomorrow to update mps on her thinking, the battle now isn'tjust over what should happen with brexit, but who gets to control it. alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. alex forsyth reporting.

a man has been charged with flying a drone near heathrow airport on christmas eve. george rusu is accused of using a drone on a field near the runwayjust days after a scare at gatwick grounded more than 1,000 flights. he's due to appear at uxbridge magistrates‘ court on tuesday. a man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a 21—year—old boxer at a pub in doncaster. tom bell was shot on thursday night, and died in hospital. he trained at doncaster plantworks amateur boxing club, which said in a statement it is devastated by the loss of a great warrior. norfolk police have spoken to the duke of edinburgh after he was photographed driving without wearing a seat belt — 48 hours following his collision near sandringham. meanwhile, a woman injured in the accident says she's yet to receive an apology from the duke. simonjones has the latest. behind the wheel again, prince philip and his new land rover. behind the wheel again, prince philip in his new land rover. but something is missing, he's not wearing a seat belt. norfolk police say they have been

made aware of these images, ta ken near the entrance of the estate. the duke, they insist, he's been given suitable words of advice. just days ago, the car crashed along this busy road. emma fairweather was a passenger in a kia, driven by herfriend with a baby in the back. they collided with prince philip's land rover, although his vehicle ended up on its side, he emerged relatively unscathed. she broke her wrist. emma fairweather told the sunday mirror, i'm lucky to be alive and he hasn't even said sorry. it has been such a traumatic and painful time and i would have expected more of the royal family. the queen attended church without the duke this morning, the palace said well wishes had been exchanged with those involved in the crash, but emma fairweather said she only received a call from a police family liaison officer, saying the queen and duke of edinburgh would like to be remembered to you. she says that's not an apology or a well wish. and she's concerned thatjust days after the incident, the duke chose to drive without buckling up. the danger of not wearing

a seat belt is that if you are in an accident, you are literally going to get thrown around inside the car. that's going to hurt, the seat belt is there to stop that from happening. it's going to hold you in place. the investigation into the crash along this stretch of road is continuing. the duke passed a police eyesight test yesterday morning, but police say they will take action if necessary. the palace‘s response to what happened is coming under increasing scrutiny. a boat with 100 migrants on board is reported to be taking in water 60 miles off the coast of libya. it's the latest in a series of incidents in the mediterranean in recent days. on friday, a rubber dinghy with 120 people on board sank in the sea off the libyan coast. and on thursday, 53 people are reported to have died trying to cross from morocco to spain. elizabeth throssell from the un

refugee agency says more help is needed to stop people making the crossing. well, i think what we have to remember is we are talking about people, we're talking about individuals who are at the risk of drowning. what are we going to do, just let them drown? absolutely vital to save people's lives, that is part of international law at sea, for example. also, if you think about the people who are prepared to set across the mediterranean in these rubber dinghies, for example the rubber dinghy that set off and where 170 people are believed to have drowned, that is absolutely a tragedy waiting to happen. how desperate must they be to actually embark on that kind ofjourney? whether there are rescue vessels or not rescue vessels, they will still make that type of journey. what we have to focus on is really creating ways that they do not feel that they are absolutely forced to make these desperate journeys. and that means countries working together, establishing safe and legal ways that people who are fleeing persecution, fleeing discrimination,

fleeing conflict are able to make the journey safely. elizabeth throssell from the un refugee agency. two people have died and 22 others have been injured in a fire in the ski resort of courchevel in the french alps. the blaze broke out in the middle of the night in an accommodation block for resort workers. it took 70 firefighters until daybreak to bring it under control. at least 79 people are now known to have died in a fuel pipeline explosion in central mexico. the governor of the state of hidalgo has said that more bodies had been found at the site. the accident happened as crowds of people filled up containers with fuel after the pipeline was deliberately ruptured by thieves. democrats in the us congress have rejected president trump's compromise plan on immigration, an attempt to end the partial shutdown of the us government. it's now affected 800,000 government workers for weeks, making it the longest in american history. david willis reports from washington. from the diplomatic reception room of the white house came a less than

was going to build a great big beautiful wall and pay for it. this morning the president took to twitter to see his signature to twitter to see his signature campaign promise would cost far less than previous politicians thought possible. building, after all, is what i do best, even when money is not readily available. as this stand—off enters a fifth week the pain is starting to show. government workers were queueing around the block at this food bank in washington, dc. i think what this really shows is that the shutdown is impacting a lot of people, many of the folks that we were talking with have never done this before. never had to stand in line for a plate of food, but they're hurting. thank you for showing up. as we filmed a woman started handing out money. later this week these workers will face a second payless payday. david willis, bbc news, washington. the authorities in zimbabwe have promised a continued eraskdeafifn against eretcfifi= ' ' beaten by security forces — after protests which were sparked by a rise in fuel costs.

my father lost his entire family. the material was among a number of holocaust related items, donated to the imperial war museum in 1997. but only subjected to scientific testing last month. we sought expert analysis, which was able to confirm that these where human remains, and infact, that they came from at least five adults, and at least one child. it's so critical to bear in mind that amongst this vast history, what we are really talking about are millions of acts of murder. the findings from humanities darkest hour were quickly shared with the nations chief rabbi. we find exceptional poignancy and the fact that there are six souls that we are burying, each one stands fori million souls who perished. among 1,000 mourners, were 3a

survivors of the holocaust, who accompanied the casket to the burial site. we need a strong reminder such as this to let us know what can result, even within a democratic society, even amongst a seemingly civilized society, if anti—semitism, if racism, if xenophobia, go unchecked. quoting the prophet isaiah, the chief rabbi said that the six unknown victims would now have an everlasting name in the presence of god himself. the headlines on bbc news. two people are arrested following a car bombing in londonderry last night. police describe the attack as unbelievably reckless. the prime minister briefs her cabinet ahead of a statement to mps tomorrow about the next steps on brexit. a funeral is held in hertfordshire for six unknown auschwitz victims — whose remains were handed to a british museum

ultimately australia had that little bit of quality and experience they needed to get over the line to win the quad series title. for them it isa the quad series title. for them it is a strange situation. they've won the series but they know on the big stage that they have lost again to england, having also lost to them at the commonwealth games last year. so really there roses have gained momentum going forward to the world cup and that was seen by a sell—out crowd cheering on the final whistle, an almighty roar as england celebrated what is ultimately only their seventh win over australia in their seventh win over australia in their history. so, strange situation, australia won the series, england won the match, but arguably the roses have the momentum going into the world cup. the line—up for the champions cup quarterfinals is now confirmed after today's final two pool matches. holders leinster visited wasps, where our rugby correspondent chrisjones watched them secure a home tie in the last eight. the champions leinster came to coventry knowing they needed

a few questions, and it's done. 1m mfgnrfigmgpmw why? because i've been here to? ‘fiyeirs; ., g, children with my british wife, so from that point of view i am settled already. under the government settlement scheme, eu nationals resident here continuously for five years can apply for settled status to remain in the uk after july 2021. those here for less, can apply for pre—settled status until eligible for full settlement rights. the rules do not apply to irish citizens. we know that most people will find the process easy, but even if 5% of people miss out, that's still nearly 200,000 people. the home office has developed an app, currently only available on android phones,

that allows people with biometric passports to apply for settled status electronically. 3 million eu citizens is a big number, but they've got two and a half years in which to go through the process, we've deliberately made this a streamlined, straightforward process. the home office does not have a fantastic reputation with this stuff, there are so many stories, and the windrush scandal is perhaps one the worst. actually, the home office has a much better track record on processing applications than you might expect. one that we've won awards for. dom schmitz, a school administrator, who was born in britain to german parents and has lived here all his life. as a german citizen, he has £65 to pay to avoid being deported. i was born here, i have paid taxes, i done everything. taxes, i've done everything. ijust feel like i'm being penalised because i have a nationality from somewhere else. which, frankly, i don't think is fair. the home office is

trying to reassure eu citizens in the uk that they are welcomed and valued, but if freedom of movement goes, than their status must change. and so will their relationship with the country they currently call home. mark easton, bbc news. rescue teams in southern spain are drilling a tunnel in an attempt to find a two—year—old boy who fell down an unmarked well a week ago. engineers, emergency services, and volunteers have been working around the clock to find julen rosello at the site near malaga. his family say they heard him cry out as he fell, but he hasn't been heard since. courtney bembridge reports. a normally quiet part of southern spain, this is now the scene of a large—scale rescue operation. it's been a week since the toddler disappeared from a family outing and his father raised the alarm. translation: we feel dead but with the hope that we have an angel that will help my son get out of there as $0011 will help my son get out of there as 50011 as will help my son get out of there as soon as possible. we won't stop
