cabinet discussions as the prime minister prepares to set out her next steps on brexit. but divisions continue to be laid bare among mps and within the government and the opposition. with theresa may due back in parliament tomorrow, we'll have the latest. also tonight... four people are arrested after a bomb explodes outside the courthouse in londonderry. a highly unstable, crude device. it could have detonated at any time. a callous act, a deliberate act against the people of derry. ijust want i just want to ask you a couple of questions. i have tried very hard. the doctor at the centre of allegations over deaths at a gosport hospital, as new police review begins. pressure on the palace over the duke of edinburgh's car crash. a day after, he's seen driving without a seatbelt. and the 20—year—old who knocked defending champion roger federer out of the australian open. good evening.

theresa may has held a conference call 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 the 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 has the latest. so, the noes have it, the noes have it. 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 on the backbenches 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.

is unfolding and extremely concerned that we are in danger of crashing out of the eu with no deal and it's probably right to say that what brings us all together is that we think it's such a disaster for this country that something is going to have to be done to try to ensure that that's stopped. it could change the way this place works — giving backbench mps, not ministers, more power to dictate what comes before parliament, shaping policy. some in 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 gridlock. 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.

one option being floated, attempting to change the controversial plan to avoid a hard irish border to try to bring mps round. we actually agree that no matter what there should be an agreement that ensures 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 want by a different mechanism?" but there's no detail 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 lines, you can see what's going to happen: which is parliament is going to try and take control of the process. that is because people are frustrated with the prime minister. this is only happening because of that and i think, in the next week or two, other options will now be tested one way or another. the battle now isn'tjust over what should happen with brexit

but who gets to control it. and alexjoins me now. on the subject of who, what do we know about discussions within the cabinet today? the prime minister is due to make a statement to the commons indicating her thinking. she phoned the cabinet, updating them on when she is act. the focus in number 10 is to try to do something to resolve the issue of the backstop. the hope of being, if she can soften that she might win round tory backbenchers and the democratic unionist party put up the problem being, what she can do, who knows? where does that leave other people, other parties you have been speaking to in the last few days? number 10 said she was still have cross—party conversation. she was big to

business leaders and union leaders. there was an acknowledgement that theresa may would not soften her position enough to get widespread support. of course that is going to anger some labour mps who say she is just not prepared to compromise on this. whichever way theresa may turned when she was going to alienate someone for that she has picked a route she think she will have the best chance of getting a deal through. it could be parliament has other ideas entirely. four men have been arrested in northern ireland after a bomb exploded outside the courthouse in londonderry last night. police called it a "very significant" attempt to kill people and suspect the dissident republican group — the new ira — of being responsible. our ireland correspondent, emma vardy, is in derry now. what can you tell us? it is several yea rs what can you tell us? it is several years since something like this has happened in northern ireland. there isa happened in northern ireland. there is a sense of shock here. many people believe bomb attacks like

this had been consigned to the history books. bands paramilitary groups do still have a presence here and they still pose a threat. this was a very close call on a busy saturday evening. 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 pass by, oblivious. the device detonates atjust after 8pm 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 out of the busy hotels and bars. today, four men were arrested and remain in custody. thankfully, the local community and the police service acted bravely

together and we got everybody away just in time. but 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, a proscribed organisation which aims to bring about a united 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. in a place where politics can be so divisive, today political leaders were united. my message to those, whoever they are, who were responsible for this action is to stop, to understand 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."

scenes like this were once common in northern ireland, but not any more. this attack re—awakens memories of a darker time. emma vardy, bbc news, derry. an 18—year—old will appear in court tomorrow, charged with the murder of a boy in east london. 14—year—old jaden moodie was unconscious when he was stabbed to death after being knocked off his moped in leyton, earlier this month. police are still looking for four other suspects who fled the scene. more questions have emerged for the royal family today about how the duke of edinburgh's car crash on thursday has been handled and about the fact that he's been seen since driving on a public road without a seat belt. the woman who suffered a broken wrist in the collision near the sandringham estate in norfolk says no one from the royal household has spoken to her. simonjones has the latest. the queen attends the sunday service at sandringham, but there's no sign of prince philip.

he was last spotted yesterday driving on a public road in his replacement land rover, failing to wear a seat belt. that's against the law. norfolk police say they've seen these pictures and have spoken with the duke. that's not impressed one of the women injured in this crash on thursday. emma fairweather was a passenger in a kia that collided with prince philip's vehicle. he emerged relatively unscathed. she broke her wrist. she told a sunday paper... the palace said well—wishes had been exchanged, but emma fairweather insists she only received a call from a police family liaison officer, saying, "the queen and the duke of edinburgh would like to be remembered to you." in her view, that's no apology. emma fairweather believes prince philip, at the age of 97, should consider quitting driving altogether. and she says if he is found to be at fault for the crash that happened

here, he should face prosecution. that will now be for the police to determine. meanwhile, the palace's response to what happened is coming under increasing scrutiny. simonjones, bbc news, sandringham. around 1,000 people have attended a jewish funeral service in hertfordshire for six people who were murdered in the holocaust. the remains of five adults and a child — whose names are unknown — were interred at the united synagogue cemetery at bushey. they were taken from auschwitz at the end of the second world war and had been given to the imperial war museum. from tomorrow, eu citizens in the uk will be able to apply for a new legal status allowing them to continue to live and work here after brexit. the new "settled status" will be awarded by the home office through online registration. but as our home editor, mark easton, reports, the system's already being criticised. from tomorrow, millions of eu citizens who live in britain,

some who've called this home for decades, will be urged to register with the authorities and pay £65 or, ultimately, risk deportation. mariola, a care workerfrom poland, and yanni, a public relations manager from finland, have had different reactions to the new home office rules on staying in the uk. theyjust scan my passport, scan my head, i need to pay £65. just answer a few questions and it is done. i am not going to apply for it. why? because i have been here for 15 years, i own a house, i've got two children with my british wife and so from that point of view i am settled already. under the government's scheme, eu nationals resident here continuously for five years can apply for settled status, to remain in the uk afterjuly 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 most people will find the process easy, but even if 5% of people miss out, that is 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 have two and a half years in which to go through the process. we have deliberately made this a streamlined, straightforward process. the home office does not have a fantastic reputation on this stuff, there are so many stories, and the windrush scandal is perhaps one of the worst. actually, the home office has a much better track record on processing applications than you might expect, and one that we've won awards for. this school administrator 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, pay taxes

and done everything. ijust feel like i'm being penalised simply because i've 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 welcome and valued, but if freedom of movement goes then their status must change, and so will their relationship with the country they currently call home. mark easton, bbc news. let's take a look at some of today's other news stories. zimba bwe's government says the security forces‘ response to recent protests in which a number of people have reportedly died is "a foretaste of things to come". news of a violent crackdown has emerged despite the government blocking social media sites; ' ' scores of migrants are feared missing off the coast of libya after a number of overcrowded boats were intercepted by the italian navy. the un refugee agency estimates that

170 people may have drowned in two recent incidents. the detective who led an investigation after hundreds te bring criminal charges." ~ ~ ~ ~ . for the first time about his work at gosport war memorial hospital, where staff were accused of killing patients with painkillers. last summer, an independent report concluded that more than a50 people had their lives shortened at the hospital but nobody has ever been charged. richard bilton reports. this place has a dark secret. it's the hospital that killed people

— people like ethel thurston. she went to recover after a hip operation but like hundreds of others she died after she was given powerful painkillers in a massive dose she didn't need. she was a poor lady who didn't fully understand what was going on. she didn't deserve that. she wasn't ready to go. she was a fun—loving lady. most of the prescriptions were written by drjane barton. the death rate doubled after she arrived. she previously said she was overworked and that patients were too poorly for rehabilitation. we tracked down one of the nurses who worked with her on the ward. as far as i am concerned, dr barton didn't shorten any lives on my ward. but is there a possibility that

dr barton decided when end of life started and she decided that too early? not on my ward, no. no. but we have been through the police files and some nurses were worried. these are their original words being delivered by actors. i think that diamorphine was used to keep the waiting lists down. it got to the stage that every time dr barton came to the annex i would think to myself, "who is going to die now?" the allegations against dr barton could not be more serious — drugging hundreds of patients to death. despite three police investigations, she's never been charged with any offence. but now there's a new police review. she refused to answer our questions, so i caught up with her. dr barton, hi, it's richard bilton.

i'm from bbc panorama. i just want to ask you a couple of questions. i've tried very hard. don't do that to the camera, please. can you tell me why hundreds of people died on that ward? let mejust... it'sjust a question. dr barton... she has said she does not want to speak with you. why did so many people lose their lives on that ward? because the families, they say, that they want justice. do you understand why they might want to see you on trial? could you just tell our viewers, dr barton, what happened on those wards? just one last question, dr barton... what happened on those wards? the new police review will re—examine 30 years of evidence already enough to bring charges. do you think the evidence will ever be strong enough to go before a court? i think it's strong enough now. i think it was strong enough then and there was an overriding public interest in it doing so. hundreds lost their lives,

their families are still waiting for justice. richard bilton, bbc news, gosport. you can watch panorama‘s: ‘killed in hospital‘ on bbc1, tomorrow night at 8:30pm. with all the sport now, here‘s lizzie greenwood hughes at the bbc sport centre. thanks very much, mishal. good evening. just two games in the premier league today. match of the day 2 follows the news, so if you don‘t want to know the scores — please avert your attention. manchester city kept the pressure on premier league leaders liverpool by comfortably beating the bottom side huddersfield and narrowing the gap at the top of the table back to four points. harry winks scoring the winner in the 93rd minute. hearts will face the part time — giant killers auchinleck talbot in the fifth round of the scottsh cup. they‘re through after narrowly

beating fellow premiership side — livingston. cup holders celtic will face stjohnstone. roger federer has been knocked—out of the australian open in the fourth round. the defending champion and six time winner was surprisingly beaten by the young greek player stefanos tsitsipas. our correspondent david ornstein reports. the utter disbelief of achieving something you have barely dream to is even possible. stefanos tsitsipas, a name view beyond the world of tennis would have heard of until now. most expected him to be sent tumbling by roger federer and despite an encouraging first set, stefa nos despite an encouraging first set, stefanos tsitsipas was marginally second—best. then came the start of something special, having grown up idolising federer, stefanos tsitsipas singh began emulating him, levelling the match to swing the momentum. he refused to let go, delivering on the promise seeming

him marked out as a future star of the game for the weather while not this proves a change of the guard, it was a breakthrough performance, the first greek player to reach the last eight of a grand slam. if celebrations inside the rod labour arena where restraint, they were not outside. federer has reigned supreme in melbourne across the sport here stood a potential heir to his throne. there was also a big upset in the masters snooker in london tonight, where the first time finallistjudd trump thrashed the seven—time champion ronnie o‘sullivan. leading 7—1 after the first session of the all—english final, trump kept his cool and went on to win it ten frames to four. england‘s netballers have pulled—off another victory over australia but it wasn‘t quite enough to win the quad series. they needed to beat the world‘s top team by five clear points to stop them taking the title — but their winning score at london‘s copperbox was an agonisingly close — 52 points to 49. that‘s it from me but there‘s much more on the bbc sport website

including the line—ups for the quarterfinals of european rugby. but for now, back to you mishal. before we go, if you find can‘t sleep later tonight or you‘re getting up early, you could catch a glimpse of a rare lunar eclipse. it occurs when the earth comes between the sun and the moon. this one will startjust after 2:30am with totality at around 5am, where the entire moon will appear to be a reddish—orange colour. the eclipse will end just before eight tomorrow morning. this is all assuming the skies are clear, which will give any of you who are up the best possible view of the blood moon. if you miss it for whatever reason, we will leave you with images of what looked like last time. from all of us, a very good night. hello. this is bbc news with martine croxall. rescue teams in southern spain are drilling a tunnel in an attempt to find a two—year—old boy who fell
