ensuring that the northern ireland backstop cannot be indefinite, which uk has created for itself and and for socialism. and as we are continuing with those we are just standing by our position talks, we will not bring which has been solid from day one. it will also be our answer a meaningful vote this week but that to the hostile discourse will happen by the 12th of march, this is not a joyful process and of president trump. while the prime minister is here trying to push for a tweak to her "a new constitution, and it is still... deal, many at home are pushing her by everyone and for everyone," this to delay the whole thing. she needs we still have it within our grasp pro—government propaganda says to leave the european union here in revolution square. with a deal on the 29th of march, much more than small talk, some eu but many cubans say that's simply and that is what i'm going to be working at. not true, that the government leaders are talking about delay, is pushing so hard for a yes vote what the government is doing too. if there is also at the that it's demonised anyone collectively, the cabinet are doing, is coming together to work who dares to say no. for a deal. beginning of march no support for either way, this vote represents the deal we have, then i think it we want to leave the european union a unique opportunity to many people on the 29th of march with a deal. would be good to postpone the to make a small show of dissent. brexit, because a no deal scenario that is what we are working for. will grant, bbc news, havana. we have had good progress, constructive discussions is bad for the european union but it with the european union will be extremely bad for the uk. and we will be continuing that work time for a look at the weather so that we can leave on the 29th with nick miller. that is not what the prime minister hello. a few days ago it was the turn of march and leave with a deal. wa nts. that is not what the prime minister wants. and although there has been of scotland to register its highest stubbornness on both sides perhaps, is there now a glimmer of a move? temperature it has ever recorded the prime minister in in the month of february, 18 degrees, and it looks like wales has done it today. sharm el sheikh in egypt, you need two to dance tango. and i this is a view from north—west wales earlier. a bit further south, speaking earlier. know how to dance. right now, only we exceeded 19 sources according

5:06 pm
that if we are going to be in number 10, he needs to change the labour leader, is to eradicate party and there are things we need anti—semitism. it is not other labour party members that will be to do. firstly, we have to eradicate thejudge of that, labour party members that will be the judge of that, it's the british jewish community, and i think he anti—semitism, anti—jewish racism in understands now that hit he is ever all its forms. this week i have had to be prime minister, he needs to 50 complaints of anti—semitism from rebuild that trust. tom watson said my party colleagues which i shared jeremy corbyn had to take a personal with jeremy and for us lead and make changes to the labour my party colleagues which i shared withjeremy and for us to address that now, i think he needs to take a party if he wanted to get into personal late on examining those downing street. this was a direct cases and if necessary, recommending challenge to the labour leader from his own deputy. at a rally to our nec what has to be done. yesterday, jeremy corbyn said anti—semitism in any form was earlier i spoke to our political correspondent jonathan blake — who started unacceptable. his allies say action by reflected on the labour resignations this week. is being taken, although admit it it has been interesting to see those could be faster. i want us to be the different responses since those labour mps resigned at the beginning of last week. best political party in dealing with jeremy corbyn has really not looked issues like anti—semitism and racism to dwell on it and issued a very andi issues like anti—semitism and racism and i want us to be able to, with brief response saying he was disappointed that they had clea n and i want us to be able to, with clean hands, get out there and resigned, he regretted it. tackle it within our wider community. labour is wrestling with and if you contrast that divisive issues. its leader is under with others calling for them to call by—elections, pressure to determine its direction. which senior party figures have, but contrast to the words we have alex forsyth, bbc news. heard from tom watson, particularly this morning,
5:07 pm
calling this a crisis for the soul the united states, colombia of the labour party and he said last and brazil have said they will intensify pressure week it is a moment on the venezuelan president nicolas maduro to relinquish power. of regret, it is a moment it comes a day after his troops used for people to reflect. force against a convoy of venezuelans trying to collect and transport aid supplies. a real sense it is a big problem today, the colombian president said that these labour mps have gone. the violence marked the moral defeat of what he called a dictatorship. it is extraordinary to hear what he has had to say today. for the deputy leader of the party pope francis has called to make what really was quite for the catholic church to give a clear challenge to the leader priority to victims of abuse of the party, to say that you really and promised to "spare no effort" in bringing abusers to justice. need to be stepping up here and doing more to personally tackle the problem of anti—semitism. he was speaking to put it in those words, at the end of a four—day conference if jeremy corbyn ever wants aimed at tackling to be prime minister, child sex abuse within the church. he needs to do this. he is effectively telling him our religion editor what to do, so it will be very interesting to see jeremy corbyn‘s response. martin bashir reports from rome. let's talk about the prime minister words of repentance by bishops and the position she is in. she agrees a deal with on the last morning the european union in november. we are told we are going to get of this four—day summit. a vote on it in december, that gets delayed untiljanuary. then there is a vote and she loses they have heard presentations it badly, then she says ok, on responsibility, accountability we will go off and do something else and transparency, and there is no and you will get a vote doubting the challenge. on the 14th of february. then it was going to be the end a mission demanding notjust words, of february and now she says it's
5:08 pm
but real, concrete action. going to be the middle of march. what is going on? this morning's preacher, very good question. the archbishop of brisbane, we have said at pretty much every says every church is now on notice. one of those points that this really is the last possible moment, the last possible time, i think we just have to accept when theresa may can get a deal that our moral authority, through and everything can be done and our credibility in more general from then on which needs to be put terms, has been massively damaged. in place before we can leave the eu. but as this process has shown, it's shot to pieces, isn't it? things really are going right down to the wire. this new deadline she has set i accept that our credibility for parliament to vote on the 12th is shot to pieces. of march means that there will be how will it be restored? just a couple of weeks or so to go until the 29th of march which, over a very long period of time when it is written in law at the moment, britain and with great tenacity. will leave the european union. so running the clock down no amount of spin in all the world is what people are accusing her is going to do the trick. of doing but in setting that date as the pope gave his traditional it is interesting because she is hoping i think to take the wind out sunday address, the vatican of the sails of this plan announced that he will soon issue by the labour mp yvette cooper a proclamation with new church laws and conservative oliver letwin, which has received a fair to protect children. bit of support. not least those cabinet ministers yesterday who indicated they don't they're drafting a handbook want to be part of a no—deal brexit. for bishops, and a task force exactly and that date will be established to help churches would have put this plan down for the 13th of march. struggling with safeguarding. if parliament hadn't but peter saunders, who was abused passed a deal by then, by a priest, says these measures
5:09 pm
they would seek to delay the process are simply not enough. and force the government's hand and either rule out a no deal it had a great opportunity this or extend the negotiations. weekend to make real change, and it has failed to do so. that was jonathan blake talking that wasjonathan blake talking to me earlier. pope francis has called somehow, i think we're going to be for the catholic church to give leaving disappointed, priority to victims of abuse. but also encouraged that the eyes the pontiff spoke at the end of the world have of a four day conference aimed been on this event. at tackling abuse within the church. pope francis closed the summit our correspondent james reynolds reports from rome. for four days catholic bishops by adopting the language of warfare, from across the world heard the testimony of victims calling for an all out battle in the fight against sexual abuse. abused by priests. faithful catholics at the end of the conference have demanded action. the pope called on the entire church what they have received not to blame others. today are another set instead he said it should of promises that they must wait take action and make to see fulfilled. martin bashir, bbc victims the priority. news, at the vatican. translation: if in the church there should emerge even a single case of abuse, which in itself represents when the oscars take an atrocity, that case will be faced place later tonight, many millions of people around with the utmost seriousness. the world will watch the famous statuettes being handed out. indeed, in people'sjustified anger the church sees the reflection but this year the televised of the wrath of god, ceremony has come in for betrayed and insulted by these significant criticism, deceitful, consecrated persons. as organisers tried to make changes
5:10 pm
that some saw as too commercial. our arts editor, will gompertz, pope francis said his is in hollywood for the big night. bishops will now review and strengthen their guidelines. bishops promised to take steps iam, mishal, i am, mishal, and iam, mishal, and it is i am, mishal, and it is 9.115 in the morning here, iassume on their return home. i am, mishal, and it is 9.115 in the morning here, i assume most of the nominees have got up and had a healthy californian breakfast a mission stretches before us. wondering if tonight is going to be their night. effectively nobody has a mission demanding notjust words, got any idea whatsoever, the field is wide open and the movies which but real, concrete action. have been shortlisted, most of them we will do all we can have been shortlisted, most of them have proved controversial, as have the awards this year. to bring justice and healing to survivors of abuse. the winner is cecil b demille... we will listen to them, it's 1953 and the first believe them, walk with them. televised oscars ceremony, we will ensure that those who have the annual awards presented by the academy of motion picture arts and sciences — been abused, who have abused, which won't be winning any prizes are never again able to offend. for the way it has handled this year's tv show. i thank you. we will call to account those what with host kevin hart quitting after past homophobic tweets came to light. who have concealed abuse. and then there was a botched attempt to create a best popular film no mas abusos! category, followed by an ill—fated but survivors of abuse, plan to bury the cinematography marching this week in rome, demand more than vague commitments award in a tv adbreak. they have heard many times before. added to which, viewers they want the church to take are switching off in their millions. practical steps and they plan i think that the academy took some to hold the pope to his promises.
5:11 pm
ill—considered decisions this year and i think that there will be a price to pay. and when the academy steps in it as badly as it did this year, and when it embarrasses itself so publicly, there are consequences, james reynolds, bbc news, rome. and i think you're going to see those consequences. what's the worst—case scenario? venezuela's opposition leader has called on other countries to consider "all measures" to remove well, i think the worst case president nicolas maduro following for the oscars would just violent border clashes yesterday. be being irrelevant. international pressure is building on president maduro this is it! after he blocked aid deliveries from entering the country. the oscars are unlikely our correspondent katy to sink without trace, but they could do with another titanic, a blockbuster movie watson is in caracas. and best film winner with an a—list cast, delivering a record—breaking tv everyone here is asking the same audience that keeps advertisers happy, which is very important thing, what happens next? to the academy. juan guaido was convinced that humanitarian aid would get the film academy gets more than 85% into the country on saturday. of their income from this one night, the opposition had hoped it would signal a weakening the telecast of the oscars. of the maduro government with soldiers defecting. internationally he is becoming more their television ratings have been isolated, but because maduro going down quite dramatically, is still in power and it does not last year was like a ali—year low. look like he is going anywhere anytime soon. an arthouse film like roma, a frontrunner for best picture this year, is not the sort of mainstream plan b, juan guaido is headed commercial movie likely to be a ratings winner to the capital bogota on monday.

there were delays in other places where there was violence in some where chances were scarce. a parts of the south of the country. goalless draw that sees liverpool return to the top of the premier those have been put league, a day dominated by injuries, off indefinitely. we are expecting to hear where neither side could cause any from the electoral commission any minute now as to what is going real damage. adam wild, bbc news. to happen with those but as for the general results, that is only going to start well, that result gave arsenal being collated from about 6pm local the opportunity to leapfrog manchester united into 11th in the table. they were comfortable 2—0 home time, that is in just a few hours. winners over a struggling southampton side, who stay third from bottom. it is unlikely we will get any certainty about whether president steven gerrard's rangers continued their impressive form, buhari has been re—elected thrashing hamilton 5—0 until the coming week. what are the challenges in the scottish premiership. for whoever takes office? they remain eight points well, whoever takes office behind leaders celtic, who easily beating motherwell in the later kick—off. has a lot to work on. leicester city have sacked their manager claude puel. his final match in charge was yesterday's 4—1 i think there are several issues defeat to crystal palace. that affect nigerians. puel was their third manager since they won the title three years ago. the economy has not been doing too well in recent years, particularly with fluctuation it follows a topsy turvy season with leicester, in the price of oil which nigeria 12th in the premier league. depends heavily upon. ireland survived a scare to beat italy in rugby union's reviving that will be a major issue for the winner of this election. six nations championship.
5:15 pm
corruption is a major achilles' heel for nigeria. they had to fight—back from 16—12 it pops up in every sector you can down at half—time in rome. looking unconvincing think of in this country, despite scoring four so that is also another tries for the bonus point. to be dealt with. of course, security, the 26—16 victory the problems in the north—east of the country with boko haram and the jihadist insurgency there, keeps alive ireland's slim hopes of defending as well as clashes in the central the title they won last year. parts of the country between different communities. but italy have now lost their last 20 games in the tournament. meanwhile in cardiff, england made up for some of yesterday's disappointment by thrashing wales in infrastructure, jobs, education, health care, the women's six nations. those are many of the issues that they scored 9 tries in the 51—12 have to be worked on victory to go back to the top urgently in this country. of the table and still on for the grand slam. that's it from me, there's much more there was lots of concern on the bbc sport website, when the vote was delayed last where you can follow all the action saturday, that it might have an impact on the number from the league cup final, where chelsea are playing of nigerians who turned out to vote. manchester city at wembley. it's goalless with around is there any indication yet half an hour to play. about whether there has been a fall back to you, mishal. off in the vote as compared that's it. to what people had been expecting? we're back with the news at 10. now on bbc one, it's time it is difficult to say that, for the news where you are. 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. thank you very much. 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 12th — ruling out a meaningful vote this week. labour's deputy leader, tom watson, warnsjeremy corbyn he has to act urgently if the party is to stay together.

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 — 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, our hope stories will continue to be told that embrace the fullness of humanity, and that includes absolutely, at the forefront, the life of the black empowered female.
5:19 pm
black klansman 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.
5:20 pm
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. with me now is our north america correspondent barbara plett usher who's on the red carpet... good evening. the atmosphere is building up already? or will it be a long wait before the stars start appearing? both. we have started here at the red carpet and there is a lot of hustle and bustle already. it will be a couple of hours before the stars start to trickle in but the stars start to trickle in but the big names will come right before the big names will come right before the programme. it is a long day but it will be a long day of hustle and bustle and excitement. you say a long day, there has been a debate about how long the actual broker should be and a lot of dispute about whether or not all the award should be seen live and there is a row with
5:21 pm
the academy. no host this year, lots of things to distract people from what it is supposed to be about. are they hopeful they can get this back on track and make it a night to remember rather than a night about all the controversies in the lead up to it? they say they are hopeful and we will see what kind of show they come up with but you are right, the big problem has been that the viewership has dropped. there was a 20% drop in viewership last year from the year before and there has been this pressure to get the viewers, to get up the ratings and the essence of that was the show is too low, it gets boring, it needs to be shorter. the gaps that you mentioned, some of them, are because they were trying to make it shorter and then they had a backlash and then the host, that is a separate thing, there were some anti—gay, homophobic tweets found in his history and that was controversial and he stepped down and now the producers are hoping there is a silver lining, that there will not bea silver lining, that there will not be a presenter, one main mc, there will be a number of different

celebrity once and that may trim some time off the show. fewerjokes. i will get to the point, olivia colman, will she be the queen of hollywood by the end of tonight? she has a chance but not a great one. glenn close is the frontrunner in that category, but she is a very strong contender in the second place and she has not been ruled out for sure and that would be a real price to bring home from her. she did win a golden globe and she has made a lot of buzz with her role in the favourite. this has introduced to international crowd. we can forget with all the glitz and glamour, this isa with all the glitz and glamour, this is a really big industry. an industry where there are huge opportunities for people who leave tonight with an oscar in their arms.
5:23 pm
yes, of course. to have an oscar means you become much more bankable, obviously and it is a huge industry and it is an industry that is changing and we saw that in one of the best picture nominations, roma, which was put up by netflix, the streaming service and that indicates the way we see movies is changing and it means the academy has to rethink how it does its job and netflix is seen as a bit of a threat because it is a threat to movie—going. that whole issue is plain around underneath the seams as well. that would play into the debate about whether the awards are too white until male. it has been a persistent theme, there been criticism by black film workers, in particular, directors, actors, they we re particular, directors, actors, they were getting frustrated and then there was a shake—up of the voting on the membership of the academy. are they confident that it will change as a result? it has changed a bit. you have quite i divert a number of films in the best picture category, you have three of them
5:24 pm
that are about black heroes, black stories, two of them about racism in america. you have romeu which is a spanish—language film from a mexican director which is quite an interesting contribution and you have the favourite which is very strong, has strong female leads, so it isa strong, has strong female leads, so it is a big mix of best picture but in other areas, not so much in the actors and actresses, only two of them nominated and in directors and photography and editing, no women at all. lots of ways to go yet. have a great night, thank you very much. and for all the best bits of the acceptance speeches and the drama from the and the drama from the red carpet, join us on bbc news for an oscars special, tomorrow morning at 9.30. 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

products high in salt and saturated fats are being marketed as healthy by leading supermarkets — according to an investigation by bbc radio 5 live. sainsbury s and tesco have promised to change their labelling and say they are committed to "promoting healthy eating". the royal society for public health says its time to consider whether a supermarket regulator is needed. ben brown has been speaking to adrian goldberg from 5 live investigates. we found that in at least three cases, we are talking about sainsbury‘s, tesco and morrison's, goods were on sale in the healthy or healthier sections which were either high in salt, in fats or saturated fats, sometimes a combination of those with products having the red traffic light symbol to suggest they were offering more than your recommended daily intake. we were particularly looking at foods around the chilled and freezer cabinet, ready meals, often vegan or vegetarian meals, often meat substitutes as well.
5:27 pm
certainly pushing the boundaries of what most people might consider to be healthy or healthier. and what have the supermarkets themselves had to say about this? both tesco and sainsbury‘s have said sorry, they have agreed to update their labelling around these products. morrisons, the other supermarket, say where something is in the healthier section, even if it has a red traffic light symbol against it, for example if it has a relatively high level of fat they say that we'll still have less bad than an alternative product that might be found within their story. healthier, yes, healthy? that's a moot point. north korean leader kimjong—un has departed for hanoi by train for talks with us president donald trump. he arrived at the chinese border city of dandong on saturday night. the much anticipated second us—north korea summit is scheduled for the middle of this week in the vietnamese capital.

5:29 pm
the city is hosting the event at the request of the two parties. translation: vietnam will ensure maximum security and safety to all the distinguished guests coming to vietnam. this week's meeting aims to build on the ground work of the two leaders' first summit last september. donald trump is expected to offer mr kim economic incentives for his impoverished state in return for giving up his nuclear weapons programme. but days before the hanoi meeting, the exact agenda remains unclear. a plump pussycat who was returned to an animal shelter four times has finally found a home. mitzi weighed almost 17 pounds when she first arrived at woodside sanctuary in plymouth, as a stray. the massive moggy, dubbed "britain's fattest cat", has since slimmed to 11 pounds and has been rehomed by the family of one of her old owners.
