action to tackle child sex abuse at the end of a vatican summit on paedophilia. venezuela's opposition leader calls on the international community to consider "all measures" to oust president nicolas maduro after several people are killed in border clashes. final preparations are under way for hollywood's biggest night of the year, the oscars. there s hope for greater diversity amongst the winners this year after a shakeup in the membership of the academy. and in inside out north west — we meet the eco—warrior and his volunteers on a mission to clean up the isle of man — that's in half an hour here on bbc news. the prime minister theresa may has promised that mps will be able to have another say on her brexit deal by march 12th.

speaking as she arrived at a summit in egypt, she ruled out holding the so called "meaningful vote" where parliament can approve or reject her compromise with the eu this week. of course i'm going to have the opportunity while i'm here, but this is not principally a summit about brexit, but i will have the opportunity to speak to fellow european leaders. and we have made good progress with the european union, and with the commission. as you know, i and ministers were in brussels last week. my team will be returning to brussels on tuesday. we have been working on how we can deal with the issue that has been raised by parliament, ensuring that the northern ireland backstop cannot be indefinite, and as we are continuing with those talks, we will not bring a meaningful vote this week but that will happen by the 12th of march, and it is still... we still have it within our grasp to leave the european union with a deal on the 29th of march, and that is what i'm going to be working at. what the government is doing

collectively, the cabinet are doing, is coming together to work for a deal. we want to leave the european union on the 29th of march with a deal. that is what we are working for. we have had good progress, constructive discussions with the european union and we will be continuing that work so that we can leave on the 29th of march and leave with a deal. theresa may in sharm el—sheikh. we will have more on that in half an hour. tom watson, the deputy leader of the labour party told the andrew marr show that there was a crisis of the soul in the party. earlier, i spoke to jonathan the soul in the party. earlier, i spoke tojonathan blake who reflected on the labour resignations. it has been interesting to see those different responses since those labour mps resigned at the beginning

of last week. jeremy corbyn has really not looked to dwell on it and issued a very brief response saying he was disappointed that they had resigned, he regretted it. and if you contrast that with others calling for them to call by—elections, which senior party figures have, but contrast to the words we have heard from tom watson, particularly this morning, calling this a crisis for the soul of the labour party and he said last week it is a moment of regret, it is a moment for people to reflect. a real sense it is a big problem that these labour mps have gone. it is extraordinary to hear what he has had to say today. for the deputy leader of the party to make what really was quite a clear challenge to the leader of the party, to say that you really need to be stepping up here and doing more to personally tackle the problem of anti—semitism. to put it in those words, if jeremy corbyn ever wants to be prime minister, he needs to do this. he is effectively telling him what to do, so it will be very interesting to see jeremy corbyn‘s response. let's talk about the prime minister and the position she is in. she agrees a deal with

the european union in november. we are told we are going to get a vote on it in december, that gets delayed untiljanuary. then there is a vote and she loses it badly, then she says 0k, we will go off and do something else and you will get a vote on the 14th of february. then it was going to be the end of february and now she says it's going to be the middle of march. what is going on? very good question. we have sat at pretty much every one of those points that this really is the last possible moment, the last possible time, when theresa may can get a deal through and everything can be done from then on which needs to be put in place before we can leave the eu. but as this process has shown, things really are going right down to the wire. this new deadline she has set for parliament to vote on the 12th of march means that there will be just a couple of weeks or so to go until the 29th of march which, when it is written in law at the moment, britain will leave the european union. so running the clock down is what people are accusing her of doing but in setting that date it is interesting because she is hoping i think to take the wind out of the sails of this plan

by the labour mp yvette cooper and conservative oliver letwin, which has received a fair bit of support. not least those cabinet ministers yesterday who indicated they don't want to be part of a no—deal brexit. exactly and that date would have put this plan down for the 13th of march. if parliament hadn't passed adeal by then, they would seek to delay the process and force the government's hand and either rule or extend the negotiations. pope francis has called for the catholic church to give priority to victims of abuse. the pontiff spoke at the end of a four day conference aimed at tackling abuse within the church. our correspondent james reynolds reports from rome. for four days catholic bishops from across the world heard the testimony of victims abused by priests. at the end of the conference the pope called on the entire church not to blame others. instead he said it should take action and make victims the priority. translation: if in the church

there should emerge even a single case of abuse, which in itself represents an atrocity, that case will be faced with the utmost seriousness. indeed, in people'sjustified anger the church sees the reflection of the wrath of god, betrayed and insulted by these deceitful, consecrated persons. pope francis said his bishops will now review and strengthen their guidelines. bishops promised to take steps on their return home. a mission stretches before us. a mission demanding notjust words, but real, concrete action. we will do all we can to bring justice and healing to survivors of abuse. we will listen to them, believe them, walk with them. we will ensure that those who have been abused, who have abused, are never again able to offend. we will call to account those

who have concealed abuse. no mas abusos! but survivors of abuse, marching this week in rome, demand more than vague commitments they have heard many times before. they want the church to take practical steps and they plan to hold the pope to his promises. venezuela's opposition leader has called on other countries to consider "all measures" to remove president nicolas maduro following violent border clashes yesterday. international pressure is building on president maduro after he blocked aid deliveries from entering the country. our correspondent katy watson is in caracas. everyone here is asking the same thing, what happens next? juan guaido was convinced that humanitarian aid would get into the country on saturday. the opposition had hoped it would signal a weakening of the maduro government with soldiers defecting. internationally he is becoming more

isolated, but because maduro is still in power and it does not look like he is going anywhere anytime soon. plan b, juan guaido is headed to the capital bogota on monday. there he will meet with the lima group, a regional grouping of countries who have come together to try to solve the crisis in venezuela. the us vice president mike pence is expected to attend. juan guaido said on saturday that the events of trying to get the humanitarian aid into venezuela led him to realise he had to ask the international community formally that all options remain on the table. add to that the us secretary of state mike pompeo said the us is prepared to take action against those who oppose the restoration of democracy in venezuela. but what does action that mean? read between the lines all options are open and the most extreme option would be military intervention. but that is a deeply controversial

option in venezuela in a region where the us has historically played such a big role and had such a big influence in the politics of latin america. the path forward is not going to be easy. counter—terrorism police in leeds have arrested a man on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts. west yorkshire police say the 33—year—old was held as part of a pre—planned operation into suspected extreme right—wing activity. a property in leeds is being searched by police votes are being counted in nigeria's closely fought presidential election. nearly 73 million people were eligable to vote, making it the biggest in african history. a handful of polling stations remained open into a second day after logistical problems and violence meant some people had not been able to cast their ballots. as our nigeria correspondent explained to me a little earlier, it's likely to be some time before we get any results from the vote. we have just heard from the electoral commission in the past hour, saying that voting

is still going on in some places, but the majority of the votes have gone ahead. there were delays in other places where there was violence in some parts of the south of the country. those have been put off indefinitely. we are expecting to hear from the electoral commission any minute now as to what is going to happen with those but as for the general results, that is only going to start being collated from about 6pm local time, that is in just a few hours. it is unlikely we will get any certainty about whether president buhari has been re—elected until the coming week. what are the challenges for whoever takes office? well, whoever takes office has a lot to work on. i think there are several issues that affect nigerians. the economy has not been doing too well in recent years, particularly with fluctuation in the price of oil which nigeria

depends heavily upon. reviving that will be a major issue for the winner of this election. corruption is a major achilles' heel for nigeria. it pops up in every sector you can think of in this country, so that is also another to be dealt with. of course, security, the problems in the north—east of the country with boko haram and the jihadist insurgency there, as well as clashes in the central parts of the country between different communities. infrastructure, jobs, education, health care, those are many of the issues that have to be worked on urgently in this country. there was lots of concern when the vote was delayed last saturday, that it might have an impact on the number of nigerians who turned out to vote. is there any indication yet about whether there has been a fall off in the vote as compared to what people had been expecting?

it is difficult to say that, we will probably get a sense of that once the electoral commission starts to announce the results, we will know what the turnout was like. for example, there were 84 million registered voters but only 72 million of those picked up their voters' cards, so a significant drop, and having the vote postponed by a week probably added a dent so we will have to see how many of those came out, but millions of them braved harsh weather conditions, rain, sun as well, but lots of people came out despite the challenges to cast their vote. the headlines on bbc news: theresa may arrives at a summit in egypt with a promise that mps will be able to have another say on her brexit

deal by march the 12th, ruling out a meaningful vote this week. labour's deputy leader, tom watson, sasteremy corbyn must take a "personal lead" over claims of anti—semitism in the party. pope francis promises concrete action to tackle child sex abuse at the end of a vatican summit on paedophilia. sport and a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. yes, a huge day of football. manchester city play chelsea in the carabao cup final at wembley shortly. with city not in premier league action, liverpool had the chance to go three points clear at the top of the table, but they could only get a point with a goalless draw against manchester united at old trafford. a red letter day in any football season, this remains a red—hot

rivalry that refuses to cool. liverpool chasing the premier league title, yet manchester united determined to have a hand on it some way. but all the plotting and planning counts for little when players just cannot play. three united injuries before half—time live their team and hopes depleted. the game punctuated by substitutions with only this chance to show for it. liverpool were able to take advantage of the misfortune. for the briefest moment, they like to have given united a helping hand, turning into their own net but the goal was ruled out for offside. an occasion that never match the anticipation, united with the final chance in a game where chances were scarce. a goalless draw that sees liverpool return to the top of the premier league, a day dominated by injuries, when neither side could cause any real damage. that result sees manchester united slip out of the top four as arsenal won 2—0 at home to southampton.

the gunners were quick off the mark with alexandre lacazette opening the scoring in just the sixth minute and henrikh mkhitaryan adding the second just eleven minutes later. they're now a point above united. leicester city have sacked manager claude puel. it was confirmed this morning following yesterday's 4—1 defeat at home to crystal palace. puel‘s been under huge pressure afterfailing to win in the premier league since beating everton away on new year's day. they were also knocked out of the fa cup by league two side newport county. i personally find him really hard work, obviously we have had managers before who were energetic, positive, getting you up for games, and when she came and it was pretty much the opposite. when things do not go well, you need someone to motivate you and make sure you perform, but i do not suppose there will be many disappointed players in the changing room today after they heard the news. rangers have narrowed the gap at

he top of the scottish premiership with an emphatic 5—0 win at hamilton. although celtic could re—establish their 8—point advantage by beating motherwell. rangers were four up by half—time. ryan jack scored their first, scott arfield was among the other scorers with this cracker. the result leaves hamilton just four points off the bottom of the table, there's about half an hour to go in celtic‘s match, they currently lead motherwell 2—i. ireland have a slender lead over italy in today's only six nations match. a short time ago, the irish were winning 19—16 in rome, but they've only recently regained the lead from the italians, who are hoping to avoid their 20th successive six nations defeat. the two—time middleweight world championjames degale says he'll consider his future in boxing after a unanimous points defeat to chris eubankjunior. degale saw the referee's countdown twice at the o2 arena, once in the second round and then later in the tenth, as eubankjunior produced one of the most impressive performances of his career. he now says this victory can set him

up for world title belts in the super middleweight division. degale said he would consider retirement if he lost the fight and says he'll now speak to his family to work out his next move. that's just about all the sport for now. but don't forget the carabao cup final between manchester city and chelsea gets under way at wembley in around ten minutes' time. you can follow live text on the bbc sport website and listen to live commentary on radio 5 live. more now on those talks theresa may is expected to hold with european council president donald tusk and other key eu figures in egypt later, during a summit between leaders of eu and arab league countries. downing street has played down hopes of a breakthrough on her brexit deal being reached. the summit is the first between leaders of eu and arab league countries and will focus on tackling concerns over security and migration, and boosting trade. ros atkins is at the summit in sharm el sheikh.

good evening. good evening. the good evening. the prime good evening. the prime minister good evening. the prime minister the prime minis arrived good evening. the prime minister arrived a few hours ago, in fight, her plane flew over the spot where i am speaking to you from. it has been clear from number 10 they are am speaking to you from. it has been clearfrom number 10 they are not expecting a big moment in terms of interactions with the european union, they are emphasising this is an ongoing conversation with the european union as the prime minister tries to get to the point where she can bring something new to the house of commons, the big breaking news we got as the plane landed was that the prime minister has confirmed there will be a meaningful void by march the 12 that the latest, but that thatis the 12 that the latest, but that that is not going to happen in the coming week. a few hours ago, each of the leaders in turn came into the vast conference centre and the prime minister, as she walked in, made a beeline for the waiting press pack. we want to leave the european union on the 29th of march with a deal. that is what we are working for, we have had good progress, constructive discussions, with the european union,

and we will be continuing that work so that we can leave on the 29th of march and leave with a deal. the bbc‘s europe correspondent gavin lee is with me. sometimes it european union summit is the big guns say we do not want to talk about brexit, we have other issues to speak about. are they happy to talk about it here? to an extent because you have 44 litres, half from the eu, half from arab states, trying to work out how you have so many issues, basically going into a channel of two days. in this building behind us, they have five 01’ building behind us, they have five or six minutes each for a0 litres, one at the time, they do not negotiate, the speak what is on their agenda. you could ask if this is more than a talking shop but what does that do? it means there will be no firm result on migration tomorrow, and that means that theresa may, many diplomats say, she has the advantage of going to

smaller bilateral meetings with european leaders to make the most of the time she has got. this vote will come on the 12th of march. in some ways the summit opens up fascinating issues around why brexit is happen. brexiteer say that the uk should deal with the world bilaterally, but not to scan the european union say we are stronger as a blog?|j not to scan the european union say we are stronger as a blog? i have beenin we are stronger as a blog? i have been in the pack ofjournalists that have experienced this a few times, i thousand people shouting questions to the leaders. i have got her few questions to them and this gives you a sense of where they stand with 30 days to go. the prime minister of luxembourg said, step back from this, look at what is going on. this is the first time we have had arab state leaders with the eu. if we had had this before the project might vote and understood the issues of migration more, maybe that would not have conflated migration with terrorism and may have not led to the brexit vote. the dutch prime

minister, worth mentioning, he said to mea minister, worth mentioning, he said to me a short while ago, he believes it is more likely there will be a no till, than a deal. these european union leaders, do they also describe what theresa may is describing, an ongoing process, progress towards a potentially positive outcome? there are two thoughts. there are two leaders with very different backgrounds using the same words. theresa may is in, trust this deal, she speaks about strong and stable government. the president of egypt talks about this being the strong and stable moment of the summit. we have heard this been called the do not rock the boat summit. the saudi arabians are here, jamal khashoggi, the saudi journalist who was killed in the turkish embassy, theresa may is meeting with the king very shortly. it is the art of diplomacy. they all have their own agenda,

brexit being the key one for the british now. a quick word on donald tuskin british now. a quick word on donald tusk in the european union. he is the co—host along with the president of egypt. he was sitting next to the president, donald tusk spent his younger years fighting for democracy in poland. he is sitting next to a man who ousted egypt's's first democratically elected leader.m man who ousted egypt's's first democratically elected leader. it is fascinating and they have become accustomed to being next to one another and expressing things subtly. the hungarian prime minister, the bad boy of the european union, has a personal campaign againstjean—claude juncker, using adverts on hungary right now, they were close to each other, talking briefly. this is fascinating because when you step back from this, it takes days to work out what happened within these meetings, but these meetings through them up, and you have to think, what is the most important thing now? it is the most important thing now? it is perhaps investment unity and

influencing on both sides. thank you. i have to confess, it is a surreal scene in sharm el sheikh in the middle of the egyptian desert, on the red sea. all the characters and the issues with which we have becomes so familiar as the brexit story has played out have become transposed to this egyptian setting for a few hours and tomorrow they will be moved back to europe and the story will continue. brexit the ghost at the feast with you. saudi arabia has for the first time appointed a woman as its ambassador to the united states. princess reema bint bandar takes over at a sensitive time, with relations between the two countries strained following the murder of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. princess reema follows in the footsteps of her father, bandar bin sultan, who held the us ambassador post from 1983 until 2005. the number of people who have died after drinking toxic alcohol in north eastern india

has risen to 130. more than 200 others are being treated in hospital. all the victims worked on tea plantations in assam. the workers drank a locally brewed liquor called "sulai", which is made of dark palm sugar and ethanol. an inquiry has been ordered into the tragedy. the duke and duchess of sussex have arrived in morocco, for their first official visit to north africa. the couple visited the atlas mountains to meet young women getting a secondary education. they were welcomed to a boarding house in the village of asni by the girls, who waved flags and sang songs. the secondary school is run by a moroccan group that provides classes for girls from rural areas whose families cannot afford their education. the oscars is being held in hollywood this evening. the favourite, starring olivia colman, is up for ten awards, jointly leading the nominations with roma, a mexican film produced by netflix. there s hope for greater diversity amongst the winners this year after a shake—up in the membership of the academy, following criticism that hollywood s focus has been too white and too male.

from los angeles, dan johnson reports. black panther‘s a marvel comic action film that's set box office records, as well as breaking cultural boundaries. it's the first superhero movie nominated for best picture, and it's the highest grossing film by a black director. costumes from the fictional kingdom of wakanda were designed by a hollywood trailblazer, who has her own oscar nomination. there have been too many misconceptions about africans and where we come from and that connection between african—america ns and africa, so culturally, it really gave, i feel, african—americans and africans a bridge. i've never had fried chicken in my life. multiple nominations for films like green book, roma and if beale street could talk

are being held up as evidence that the oscars, and the movies, are more embracing. because you can do better, mr vallelonga. we keep hope alive, the expectation of something good, i hope stories will continue to be told that embrace the fullness of humanity, and that includes absolutely, at the forefront, the life of a black empowered female. blackklansman has earned director spike lee his first oscar nomination after 35 years in the business. and lots of people think it's well overdue. well, they‘ re right. a lot more people are in front and behind the camera but, if you look at the numbers overall, it's still small, so a lot more work to do. the red carpet and the nominations list may feel more diverse but, of course, the real test is whether that's reflected in who and what actually wins. and there are other voices cautioning that deeper change is still needed. while we have some really great things that we can celebrate,

projects that make us incredibly proud, creatives that are breaking through, on the whole, we have not seen the type of real change to the way that hollywood does its business, to its business model. you look like a badger. there are strong female stories, too — the favourite is nominated ten times. the best director list is stubbornly all male, showing there's still a challenge behind the scenes, as well as on screen. danjohnson, bbc news, los angeles. and we will find out whether they have hit the jackpot, for the oscars, ina have hit the jackpot, for the oscars, in a bbc news special tomorrow morning. that will save you staying up to the middle of the night. now the weather. it has been another and usually one day for the time of year with the sunshine

turning quite chilly overnight. there will be a frost around in places, particularly towards parts of east anglia in south—east england, minus four degrees in the countryside. dense fog this evening and overnight across yorkshire and north—east england, some cloud for northern ireland in two west of scotland. patchy rain possible here but england and wales will see the lowest temperatures and the frosting to east anglia in the south—east of england. do not be surprised how cold it is to start the day. for gradually clearing from yorkshire in north—east england in the morning, rain moving away from the north—west of scotla nd rain moving away from the north—west of scotland towards the northern isles, a sunny day in northern ireland, plenty of sunshine across the uk with light winds and temperatures bouncing back after the chilly start and the warm spots will again be reaching into the high teens, and more of the same on tuesday. goodbye.
