summit on paedophilia. celebrities have started arriving for hollywood's biggest night of the year, the oscars. all eyes are on the award for best picture in what is considered to be one of the most eclectic oscar line—ups for years. and at 11:30 we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers ruth lea and rob merrick. stay with us for that. good evening. the prime minister says mps will have another chance to approve or reject her brexit deal by the 12th of march, just over two weeks before britain is due to leave the eu. she was speaking in egypt where a summit of eu and arab leaders is taking place,

and ahead of a series of votes this week, which could give parliament the opportunity to delay brexit to avoid leaving without a deal. labour's jeremy corbyn accused mrs may of putting the country at risk by "recklessly" running down the clock. 0ur political editor laura kuenssberg's report from sharm el—sheikh contains flash photography. she might fly around the world to do the deal, but how much further can theresa may really get? massed ranks at home rejected her brexit compromise and now they won't get their say for another two weeks. we won't be bringing a meaningful vote back this week, but that will happen by the 12th of march and 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 am going to be working at. she can be friendly and fundamentally disagree, what seems like a rare public display of affection from a fellow eu leader tonight.

the biggest problem with the deal that the prime minister agreed with her counterparts is still the irish backstop. that guarantee that there will never be a hard border in northern ireland. at home, remember, parliament kicked it out. abroad, they don't want to change it. but the uk is trying and trying to get an extra legal guarantee, but it cannot last forever. but the frustration among the eu shows. this is a situation that the uk has created for itself, so we are not playing chicken, we are not playing poker, we are just standing by our position, which has been solid from day one. this is not a joyful process. and while the prime minister is here, trying to push for a tweak to her deal, many at home are pushing her to delay the whole thing. she needs much more than small talk. some eu leaders are talking about delay, too. if there is also, at the beginning of march no support for the deal we have, i think it would be good to postpone the brexit, because a no deal scenario is bad for the european union,

but it will be extremely bad for the uk. that is not what the prime minister wants. and although there has been stubbornness on both sides, perhaps, is there now a glimmer of a move? you need two to dance tango. and i know how to dance. right now, any movement from eu leaders in public is scarce. tonight, the test for the prime minister is to see if any of her counterparts might join her on the floor. and a little earlier laura gave a look ahead to what might happen in parliament this week as a result of the prime minister delaying the meaningful vote. it is surreal talking about brexit, we are on the shores of the red sea. but this is now a problem one opportunity, depending how you see it, that follows theresa may depending where she is. that is why

she is here, she will see the irish leader leo varadkar tomorrow as was the critical voice of angela merkel, the critical voice of angela merkel, the german chancellor. the announcement of a new date today may have been designed to cool some of those tempers at home, but there will still be a concerted effort in parliament this week to try to force her to say, ok, parliament this week to try to force herto say, ok, if parliament this week to try to force her to say, ok, if i cannot get a deal through this month, if i cannot get what i want from the eu leaders, than i will push a delay button on brexit. and remember, all along, that has been something the prime minister has been extremely relu cta nt to minister has been extremely reluctant to do, notjust because she feels that the referendum and what she has done since then is repeatedly make a promise to the public that we will leave on time, but also because if she does flirt with the idea of delay, then the furia of the brexiteer wing of the party could be brought to bear in a pretty heavyweight. —— fury. because, as ever, there are

suspicions tonight on the eurosceptic fringe on the party that any kind of delay to the process might mean that brexit does not happen at all. but as ever, theresa may is in a real bind. there are two senior ministers who are telling me behind the scenes they believe she will have to offer some kind of concession on a delay if no deal can be reached by the middle of march. but that dilemma, that real bind between two different sides of the tory party is as clear and hasn't a danger to theresa may as it has ever been. —— clear and present. labour's deputy leader said today that the party was heading in the direction of supporting another eu referendum and that that point might come in the days ahead. tom watson also spoke of a "crisis for the soul" of the party after the resignation of nine of its mps. he said jeremy corbyn had to take a personal lead in tackling anti—semitism within labour. a party spokesman said all such complaints are taken extremely seriously. here's our political correspondent alex forsyth.

they were all elected as labour mps, but in the past week, nine in total have left the party, each leaving behind stinging criticism of the way it's run. today, labour's deputy leader said more could follow. he warned the party was at a perilous point. there's almost a sort of crisis for the soul of the labour party now, and that means that everyone that cares about our future, whatever tradition they represent, has to find it within themselves to work more closely together. he said the party had to be a broad church. 0n brexit he said labour was moving closer to backing another public vote. 0n anti—semitism, he urged the labour leader to personally intervene. the test for us, the test for him as a leader, is to eradicate anti—semitism. it is not other labour party members that will be the judge of that, it's the britishjewish community, and i think he understands now that if he is ever to be prime minister, he needs to rebuild that trust. tom watson said jeremy corbyn had

to take a personal lead and make changes to the labour party if he wanted to get into downing street. this was a direct challenge to the labour leader from his own deputy. at a rally yesterday, jeremy corbyn said anti—semitism in any form was unacceptable. his allies say action is being taken, although admit it could be faster. i want us to be the best political party in dealing with issues like anti—semitism and racism and i want us to be able to, with clean hands, get out there and tackle it within our wider community. labour is wrestling with divisive issues, its leader under pressure to determine its direction. alex forsyth, bbc news. pope francis has pledged an end to cover—ups of child abuse in the catholic church, saying that victims would now be the priority. he was speaking at the end of a four day conference aimed at tackling abuse, after a series of scandals. 0ur religion editor

martin bashir reports from rome. mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. words of repentance by bishops on the last morning of this four—day summit. they've heard presentations on responsibility, accountability and transparency, and there is no doubting the challenge. translation: i make a heartfelt appeal for an all—out battle against the abuse of minors, both sexually and in other areas, on the part of all authorities and individuals, for we are dealing with abominable crimes that must be erased from the face of the earth. one senior bishop at the summit says every church in every country is now on notice. i think we just have to accept that our moral authority and our credibility in more general terms has been massively damaged. it's shot to pieces, isn't it? i accept that our credibility is shot to pieces.

how will it be restored? over a very long period of time and with great tenacity. no amount of spin in all the world is going to do the trick. as the pope gave his traditional sunday address, the vatican announced that he will soon issue a proclamation with new church laws to protect children. they're drafting a handbook for bishops, and a task force will be established to help churches struggling with safeguarding. but peter saunders, who was abused by a priest, says these measures are simply not enough. it had a great opportunity this weekend to make real change, and it has failed to do so.

pope francis closed the summit by adopting the language of warfare, calling for an all out battle in the fight against sexual abuse. faithful catholics have demanded action. what they have received today are another set of promises that they must wait to see fulfilled. martin bashir, bbc news, at the vatican. the duke and duchess of sussex have been meeting young women in morocco to show support for girls‘ education. the couple were welcomed to a boarding school in the village of asni by pupils who waved flags and sang songs. during the visit, the duchess was given a traditional moroccan henna tattoo, to celebrate her pregnancy. the us secretary of state has said he believes nicolas maduro‘s days as president of venezuela are numbered, after troops used force against a convoy of civilians trying to organise aid supplies. there's been widespread condemnation of the violence at venezuela's border with colombia. officials there say more than 100 venezuelan soldiers have deserted their posts, and crossed into their country. our international correspondent orla guerin reports now from the border area.

embers are still smouldering today on a bridge that became a battle ground. desperately needed aid went up in smoke here yesterday when venezuelan troops blocked an opposition convoy on the orders of president nicolas maduro. but some have broken ranks. this weekend foot soldiers have been deserting. it's over 100 now and counting. we managed to speak to a group of them sheltering in a church in the border town of cucuta. they fear for their families back home in venezuela. so we are concealing their identities. translation: there will be a domino effect. there are many professional troops who want to do this. they realise this is their moment

to leave this dictatorship and free venezuela. we cannot remain a slave. we are freeing ourselves. them and told us they had deserted for the sake of their loved ones and their homeland. they say nicolas maduro has divided the nation. translation: there is already a civil war in venezuela. i saw it yesterday at the bridge. venezuelans were attacking each other with rocks and the armed forces were shooting at their own people. among those who lay down their weapons yesterday, a sergeant major and a lieutenant. both mothers now parted from their children. they say their orders were simple: to attack. translation: it was tense. i was thinking i could not harm my own people. that was against my principles, my values, and professional ethics. i felt i was not doing the right thing. we want a better venezuela. this woman says many troops and officers want change but anyone who speaks out can disappear

like one of her colleagues. translation: she made a comment on whatsapp and has been missing for more than a month. they went to her apartment. she had a baby. they left it with a neighbour as if the baby were a dog. the soldiers told us that the military leadership is still bound to nicolas maduro by corruption. and they believe the president will fight to stay in power. at mass here today, a former general was among the congregation. he abandoned nicolas maduro a few months ago. prayers were offered for venezuela, a nation that has suffered so much and now faces an uncertain future. orla guerin, bbc news, on the colombia, venezuela border. 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,

in the post match press conference. i understood that he had a cramp and didn't want the goalkeeper to go to the penalties in that physical condition and i realised the situation only after three or four minutes after the doctor arrived at the bench. in the meantime, i wanted him on the pitch and hejust the bench. in the meantime, i wanted him on the pitch and he just wanted me to know he was in condition to go to the penalties. it was only a big misunderstanding. kepa arriza balaga was right but in the wrong way. this competition means a lot and now we are going to suffer for the champions league, the premier league but we hope it will help us go

forward. city's rivals, manchester united, did them a favour by holding liverpool to a goalless draw at old trafford, in the premier league title race. city and liverpool were level before this game but liverpool, who haven't won the league title in 29 years, now lead by a point. jurgen kloop may see it as a missed opportunity, as they continue a patchy run of 4 draws in their last five matches. arsenal are up to fourth after beating southampton 2—0 at home, thanks to goals from alexandre lacazette and henrikh mkhitaryan. the result means arsenal a point ahead of manchester united, who are fifth. leicester city has sacked manager claude puel afterjust 16 months in charge. it follows yesterday's 4—1 defeat at home to crystal palace which means they're without a win in the premier league since new year's day. they were also knocked out of the fa cup by league two side newport county last month. defending champions celtic

are still 8 points clear at the top of the scottish premiership, thanks to a 4—1win over motherwell. midfielder odsonne eduoard scored twice, including that stylish free—kick. it's the first time celtic have conceded a league goal in 2019. rangers are still second, five points clear of third placed aberdeen, after a 5—0 win at hamilton. rangers were four up by half time. the result leaves hamilton just 4 points ahead of bottom side, st mirren. ireland survived a scare against the side bottom of the six nations table, italy, but they did emerge with a bonus—point win in rome. the italians had a lead at half—time, but the reigning champions eventually made their quality show, scoring four tries. for italy, it's now 20 consecutive six nations defeats. england's women remain on course for a grand slam in their six nations championship, after a massive 51—12 win over wales in cardiff. making up for some of yesterday's disappointment for england fans, by scoring 9 tries.

prop sarah bern and wing jess breach scored two each as england claimed a bonus point afterjust 26 minutes. they go back to the top of the table but play the only other unbeaten side italy next, on the 9th of march. american dustinjohnson has won the world golf championship event in mexico city. he ended on 21 under with a final round of 66. 5 shots ahead of northern ireland's rory mcilroy. mcilroy hit a wayward drive on the 6th hole and ended up in an extremely unfortunate place, plugged right up against the trunk of a tree and unable to play naturally back onto the fairway. he used all of his cunning to play the ball out with his weaker hand and with the back of his club face. however, with his following shot he ended up straight in the water, one of 3 bogeys. england's paul casey and ian poulter were tied for third, 5 shots further back. that's all the sport for now.

this evening you can get the rest of oui’ this evening you can get the rest of our story on the bbc website. the stars of the film world have begun arriving on the red carpet, for this year's oscars, with a global audience in the millions expected to watch the famous statuettes being handed out. but this year, the televised awards ceremony has come in for significant criticism. our arts editor will gompertz in hollywood. the winner is cecil bieber miele. the winner is cecil bieber miele. the first televised oscar ceremony in 1953. presented by the academy awards. it will not be winning any prizes with the host kevin hart quitting after homophobic tweets came to light. followed by an ill—fated plan to bury

cinematography awards in an ad break. i think the academy took some ill considered decisions this year andi ill considered decisions this year and i think there will be a price to pay and when the academy steps in as badly as it did this year and embarrasses itself so publicly, there are consequences and i think you will see them. what is the worst case scenario? being irrelevant. the oscars are unlikely to sink without trace but they could certainly do with another titanic. it delivered a world breaking audience. the film academy gets more than 85% of their income from this one night. the telecast of the oscars. the television ratings have been going down, quite dramatically. last year was a 44 year low. an arthouse film

like roma is not the sort of mainstream commercial movie likely to bea mainstream commercial movie likely to be a rating winner. hence the attem pts to be a rating winner. hence the atte m pts to to be a rating winner. hence the attempts to make it more audience friendly. they think you need to make the people that have suffered through best cinematography. i think it is the price to pay. i think you have to compromise between the show and the principles of the academy. which one is more important? a guest of both. the principal... and therein lies the problem. art or money? that is show business. our north america correspondent barbara plett usher is on the red carpet.

you have reached a point where everybody stands on the toes looking out for famous faces? we have spike lee and william dafoe down here. a number of directors coming through and the really big stars will be coming through, i think, in the next hour or so. let tend to waitjust before the production to make a grand entrance. what you expect come awards themselves? the frontrunner for best picture is roma, the spanish arthouse film, set in mexico, green book, travelling through the segregated south in the 19605, through the segregated south in the 1960s, black panther has a lot of lives. so they are all talked about in glowing terms but it still fairly

wide open at this stage. that gives itafair wide open at this stage. that gives it a fair bit of suspense. the best actress, because of cost olivia colman has been nominated. she has a tough competition from the enclosed but she has got quite a lot of praise for her role in the favourite. the ceremony itself will be heavily scrutinised this time round? yes, the leader has been quite... cheering and applause. sorry. i cannot quite see who it is, perhaps you can... no, i was trying to help but i cannot either. the leader has been controversial and thatis leader has been controversial and that is because they are trying to get more viewers, ratings have been falling. they are trying to make it

shorter. they wanted to award some of the categories during advertisement breaks and that backfired strongly. lots of different things happening ahead of time to make people raise their eyebrows. now that we are here, everybody is curious what sort of show the producers have come up with. we will leave it to spot some stars. thank you. and for all the best bits of the acceptance speeches and the drama the red carpet, join us on bbc news for an oscars special, tomorrow morning at 9:30. president trump says north korea could quickly become one of the world's great economic powers if it agrees to give up its nuclear weapons. mr trump is due to meet the north korean leader, kim jong—un, again this week. he's already on his way to vietnam for what will be the second summit

with the united states in a year. our north america editorjon sopel assesses what the meeting could mean. was there ever a more improbable coming together? it was genuinely a moment to behold. the us president with the dictator of a reviled outcast nuclear power. it was an extraordinary gamble by donald trump, because this summit in singapore last summer gave kim jong—un a platform in the world stage, but donald trump thought it had brought peace nearer. we had a really fantastic meeting, a lot of progress, really very positive. i think better than anybody could have expected. it's certainly true there have been no nuclear tests, no ballistic missile launches, the temperature's been reduced, but the assessment of us intelligence chiefs is that for all the optics, not much has changed. the regime is committed to developing a long—range nuclear armed missile that would pose a direct threat to the united states.

that's not how donald trump wants it framed. he says a lot has changed from when president obama was in the white house. and where are we now? no missiles. no rockets. no nuclear testing. we've learned a lot. but much more importantly than all of it is we have a great relationship. i have a very good relationship with kim jong—un. the last serious talks with the koreans took place over a decade ago. they were led by ambassador christopher hill. he says this next meeting needs to be better thought through than singapore. the last summit was not nearly prepared as it should have been. so, in a sense, maybe what we really need here is a do—over. we have to have a clearer understanding of what the north koreans are prepared to do in terms of denuclearisation. it's an ugly word and one that the white house doesn't want to use, but this next summit will be about deliverables, a concrete timetable for denuclearisation, agreed confidence building measures.

last time around it was enough that there were handshakes and smiles and good optics and atmospherics. now it needs to get down to specifics. donald trump has always insisted he's not in a hurry and there is no rush. aides, though, say there are few issues that have a higher priority for him. both can be true. but senior administration officials are doing everything to play down what might come out of hanoi. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. even more incredible when you consider that this time a year ago we we re consider that this time a year ago we were beginning to feel the effects of the beast from the east, an exceptional bout of winter.m feels more like spring because the air is coming from a long way south.

it actually has its origins in the tropics. 19.1 degrees in west wales today, that is a new february record for wales and more of this to come as well. through the next few days, more warm sunshine. the night cold and frosty. some foggy mornings but later in the week, science of change, something more unsettled. the southern half, it temperatures to freezing if not below. extra cloud in scotland and the odd spot of rain. yorkshire and north—east england, likely to be some file, dense patches tomorrow morning and some mr nessjust dense patches tomorrow morning and some mr ness just about everywhere. —— missed. another beautiful blue sky with lots of sunshine, rain moving across northern scotland but aside from that dry. some places

could get to 19. nine would be more typical. it is because of the high pressure, it stays with us through monday night and into tuesday. a touch of frost on tuesday morning. the odd spot of rain in northern ireland. everywhere else drive. temperatures well above average. on wednesday, more likely to see the return of some of the mist and fog. quite stubborn and slowed to clear. those temperatures are likely to reach values are similar to the last couple of days. in the thursday, things begin to change. it will be a gradual process. this weather system does not look like much of it brings the chance of showers in the south. and this may bring showers in the

north. it is the start of a trend that, as
