this is bbc news. the headlines: ten days before brexit, british government ministers are talking of a constitutional crisis now the speaker of the house of commons has blocked the prime ministerfrom having welcome to bbc news, a third go at getting her brexit broadcasting to viewers deal passed by parliament, in north america unless there's a substantial change. and around the globe. the european union insists the current withdrawal deal my name is mike embley. cannot be changed. our top stories: a major blow for the british government just ten days before brexit. theresa may's told new zealand's prime minister, she can't ask mps jacinda ardern, has urged her fellow to vote on her deal citizens never to utter the name for a third time. of the gunman who killed 50 people what the government cannot at mosques in christchurch on friday. in parliament, she said he was a terrorist, criminal legitimately do is to resubmit and extremist who sought notoriety. 30 people he wounded to the house the same proposition are still in hospital. or substantially the same proposition as that of last week, dutch police have arrested which was rejected by 149 votes. a turkish man in the city of utrecht where three people were killed in a gun attack on a tram on monday. as new zealand mourns, five were wounded. schools were closed and people warned to stay indoors as armed the prime minister condemns officers searched for the suspect. the gunman who killed 50 people as a terrorist, a criminal and an extremist. speak the names of those who were lost rather than the name

of the man who took them. he may have sought notoriety, but we, in new zealand, will give him nothing, not even his name. a gunmen kills three people in the dutch city of utrecht. police arrest a 37—year—old turkish man. the hunt for survivors of the mozambique cyclone continues. 1,000 are feared dead with hundreds more missing. just 10 days before britain is due to leave the european union, brexit has been complicated even further by a ruling from the speaker of the house of commons. it is a major blow to the prime minister. drawing on parliamentary convention going back 400 years, the speaker has ruled she cannot have a third go at getting her brexit deal approved by mps unless the motion is substantially

different from before. the eu insists the current withdrawal deal cannot be changed. here's our political editor laura kuenssberg. time isn't healing, it's hurting. every day, it seems, theresa may's task gets harder and harder. arriving at the back gates of number 10 today, she'd planned to have another go at getting her deal through, not knowing what the speaker had up the sleeves of his black gown. 0rder. i wish to make a statement to the house. john bercow has the ultimate power in parliament, and as it stands, he says the government cannot try again. what the government cannot legitimately do is to resubmit to the house the same proposition or substantially the same proposition as that of last week, which was rejected by 149 votes.

in other words, the government should forget it, he says, if they think they can just keep asking mps to vote again and again on the brexit deal, because it's been lost twice before. 0rder. point of order. yes, indeed, point of order. you can hear the surprise at his ruling, and see government frontbenchers jumping up to try to push back. remember, the government had hoped to hold another vote today. it requires detailed consideration and we will be looking at it closely and coming to a view on it. clearly, it's not the most helpful intervention we've seen from the chair. those in and out of number 10 trying to get a deal done had no idea. reporter: has the speaker ruined the government's brexit plans? no idea. we're in a major constitutional crisis here, a political crisis, that we want to try and solve for the country. the prime minister's doing everything she can to try and break that impasse. the chair's ruling is the

chair's ruling and it is binding. the speaker's many detractors suggest he is using his power far too aggressively... we march on our way. ..stopping parliament having another say on brexit. but his fans would argue he's doing exactly the right thing. strangely, the move has united some leavers and remainers, who both want to stop the prime minister's deal. we know all these european deals, they always happen at the last minute, so with 11 days to go, something really interesting could come out of this. well, it's clear she can'tjust keep flogging the same dead horse now, can she? and she's been doing that for ages. so, let's maybe get on a different horse. there's anger, though, too. i think what will happen now is that thanks to this afternoon's announcement, brexit will not occur and the people of britain, both those who voted to leave, but also the remainers, who like to see democracy done, they will be absolutely furious. tonight, the government front bench doesn't quite know which way to go next, but the mood is clearly sour. for me, treating colleagues with courtesy and respect is at the forefront of that reform

and any speaker's counsel would have to have that at its heart and i simply would not be confident that that would be the case. well, so be it. i treat the house with respect. respect? there's not much of that around. a cabinet minister told me the government willjust have to find a way around this decision. but none of this has been done before. there's no map, no easy route out. seems a fair chance we will be coming back to that story. new zealand's prime minister, jacinda ardern, has urged her fellow citizens never to utter the name of the gunman who killed 50 people at mosques in christchurch. she said he was a terrorist, a criminal and an extremist who sought notoriety. in parliament, ms ardern said new zealanders should give him nothing, not even his name. with more on events and developments in new zealand, bbc‘s shara njit leyl is in christchurch. that's right. it is a stunning

afternoon here in christchurch, blue skies, the sun is out and people keep coming here to the botanical gardens where i am. they have been coming here all day for days now since the attack happened. there is a huge memorial here, a big pile of flowers, people keep bringing them and they are determined to show solidarity with the muslim community here and to fight off the sense of hate that inspired friday's attack and of course we also heard from the prime ministerjacinda ardern, she has spoken several times, and she spoke several hours ago again, saying she was adamant her government is determined to try and keep the muslim community secure, they would provide the necessary support for them as well, and she explained how she would continue to seek to establish why the attack happened and how to prevent plans for any other such attacks. there

have rightly been questions about how this could happen here, in a place that prides itself on being open, peaceful, diverse. and there is anger that it has happened here. there are many questions that need to be answered and the assurance that i give you is that they will be. yesterday, cabinet agreed that an enquiry, one that looks into the events that led up to the attack on the 15th of march will occur. we will examine what we did know, could have known or should have known. we cannot allow this to happen again. part of ensuring the safety of new zealanders must include a frank examination of our gun laws. as i have already said, mr speaker, our gun laws will change.

cabinet met yesterday and made in principle decisions 72 hours after the attack. before we meet again next monday, these decisions will be announced. mr speaker, there is one person at the centre of this terror attack against our muslim community in new zealand — a 28—year—old man, an australian citizen, has been charged with one count of murder. other charges will follow. he will face the full force of the law in new zealand. the families of the fallen will have justice. he sought many things from his act of terror, but one was notoriety, and that is why you will never hear me mention his name. he is a terrorist, he is a criminal, he is an extremist, but he will, when i

speak, be nameless. and to others, i implore you, speak the name of those who have lost rather than the man who took them. he may have sought notoriety, but we in new zealand will give him nothing, not even his name. that was the prime minister speaking not so many hours ago. this tragic attack directly targeted one small muslim community in new zealand, but the effect of right—wing extremism has broad—reaching implications. to get an insight into how the survivors and their families are coping, and the effect on the broader muslim community, i spoke to ahmed kilani, a disaster relief chaplain for ausrelief. he's come to new zealand to help coordinate the relief effort. the community is holding up quite good considering the circumstances. the injured are obviously traumatised, they are in shock and

also resting from their injuries. they have military weapon grade injuries so they have multiple shootings, which they have also lost loved ones. they have also witnessed something horrific so there will be a lot of healing that is going to go on. but considering the circumstances, they are quite happy to see us and smiling, so they are holding up quite good. you are here on your own time, volunteering for ausrelief, a charity from australia. you have come here specific leave —— specifically to see the muslim community. how are they holding up from this horrific attack? they are in shock and are traumatised. i guess this attack is notjust an attack on them, it is an attack on all of us, all of humanity. for someone all of us, all of humanity. for someone to come into a place of worship, who would think i would attend my congressional weekly prayer and not come home? it is unheard of that this sort of thing has happened, and muslims all around the world as minorities and a lot of western countries specifically are

very traumatised themselves and worried that could this happen to me? tell us about the burial process, because we know the families have been very eager to get their loved ones back, they want a decent spiritual dignified burial. at the moment, it is a bit frustrating for the families because it has been the fourth day now and we try unusually as muslims try and bury our dead as quickly as possible, and they also want some closure on all of this. they cannot access their mosques, the cars are locked in, even where we washed the burial, the bodies is inside the mosque so we cannot access burial, the bodies is inside the mosque so we cannot access that. it has been a huge logistical challenge by support from new zealand muslim community as well as people flying in from around the world, especially australia, to assist, the process has started. we are told by the

government that this morning they will start releasing somebody. 0nce that starts, it should happen quite swiftly. people here in new zealand have been remembering those who lost their lives or were injured in the attacks on two mosques. a particular focus of course has been the children who died in the attacks. young new zealanders here have been gathering together to see how they can help their community. clive myrie reports. this silent memorial shouts its poignancy. 50 pairs of white shoes for the 50 people who died. among them, little children. as so many reflect on this tragedy, lost in a whirl of painful thoughts, it's sobering to remember that the killer didn't see human beings in those mosques. he saw targets and children were fair game. the tributes right across christchurch reflect that abomination.

five perished who were under the age of 16, including a 3—year—old and a 4—year—old, given no chance in life. sayyad milne was 14, now at peace, says his father, and mourned by one of his best friends. in the morning, it was — the news was confirmed. and i was devastated, it was awful. he was known by so many people and loved by so many people and it's so sad that this community has been brought down by this shooting, and it's awful, yeah. it's just. . .i don't know what to say, really. no—one knows what to say. but 0kirano tilaia, who's 17, says it is important young people have a voice in helping a community heal. i know that my school has been majorly affected.

many students have lost loved ones and just making sure that they know that the school is behind them. and, you know, getting involved in the events that i've led just shows them that, you know, hatred cannot drive out hatred. 0nly love can. and this is the fruit of his labour — organising a huge vigil, an opportunity for thousands of young people to celebrate life. singing i think it's amazing how we all gathered together to show our support, and especially how it was done by kids and high school students. i think that was just a really good thing. local schools now have counsellors on hand to help traumatised children after the calamity, recognition that no—one should have to walk through gates of grief and sorrow, especially the young.

clive myrie speaking to some of the stu d e nts clive myrie speaking to some of the students and kids involved, and of course i want to show you the newspaper, this is the largest newspaper, this is the largest newspaper in christchurch, and it has that very headline. the fact that thousands of kids gathered very close to the site of one of the attacks, al noor mosque, and the headline says "let us not hate". there is a sense of conciliation, of wanting to move on from this horrific attack, the worst thing to have happened on these shores in new zealand, and people want to continue to come together. it has been a great honour reporting from here because i have seen such a great out pouring of love and solidarity from the people here in christchurch. we have been here for the last couple of days and i have seen thousands of people blowing in to the botanical gardens where radium, thousands of lacaze, flowers, messages of support

—— bouquet blew back. there is a determination to recover from this. christchurch had devastating earthquakes in 2011, nearly 200 people died, and again there was this rallying among the community. the earthquakes were not man—made, and this was a horrific occurrence that was, and they are determined to get through it. so it has been a real pleasure reporting from here in christchurch. you can keep up to date with the latest on the situation in christchurch on our website. there are more stories of heroism and prime ministerjacinda ardern‘s efforts to reform new zealand's gun laws. that's all at bbc.com/news or you can download the bbc

news app. today, we have closed the book on apartheid and that chapter. more than 3,000 subway passengers were affected. nausea, bleeding, headaches and a dimming of vision — all of this caused by an apparently organised attack. the trophy itself was on the pedestal in the middle of the cabinet here. now, this was an international trophy, and we understand now that the search for it has become an international search.

above all, this was a triumph for the christian democrats of the west, offering reunification as quickly as possible, and that's what the voters wanted. this is bbc world news. the latest headlines: the british government been dealt a major blow just ten days before brexit. the speaker of the house of commons telling theresa may she can't have a third vote on her deal. as new zealand continues to mourn, the country's prime minister, jacinda ardern, has condemned the gunman who killed 50 people as a terrorist, criminal and extremist. now to the rest of the day's news: dutch police have arrested a turkish man in the city of utrecht, where three people were killed in a shooting attack on a tram on monday morning. five people were wounded, some seriously. 0ur correspondent, damian grammaticas,

was there as events unfolded. sirens. late morning, a tramline at a standstill, and dutch medics scrambling. the reports were of multiple casualties. armed police units responded fast, too. they moved in, as well, hunting at least one attacker who it was thought was still nearby. dan molinaar was in the tram. he says, "all of a sudden, the shooter came running, waving a pistol in the air. ithought, i have to get out of here." what eyewitnesses said was that, this morning on the tram here, a man pulled a gun and began shooting. there was panic as people tried to escape the scene and, within minutes, police and ambulances were here. but it is thought that he fled around the corner, and now police have a house surrounded in one of the adjacent streets. erwen van der linden was just getting ready to catch the tram

himself when it all happened. i heard a lot of screaming. i heard a lot of honks from the cars. then all of a sudden, sirens, and hell broke loose. it was chaos. soon, several city blocks in utrecht had been sealed and police issued this picture of the suspected attacker, gokmen tanis, 37 years old, originally from turkey. anti—terror teams thought he might have fled just a few hundred yards around the corner, and as they tried to track him, they ordered people in the area to stay indoors, offices, schools, and universities all in lockdown. "this has been a jolt for our country," the dutch prime minister, mark rutte, said, adding, "we are horrified and in disbelief". and late in the afternoon, the suspect, gokmen tanis, was detained. the police siege at an end, but the sense of shock here still deep. damian grammaticus,

bbc news, utrecht. the cyclone that has torn into parts of southern africa may have taken many hundreds of lives. cyclone idai reached speeds up to 120 miles an hour and brought with it torrential rain and floods. worst affected are mozambique, zimbabwe and malawi. shingai nyoka sent this report from the border between zimbabwe and mozambique. shops with their fronts torn off, windows shattered in the street. roofs rendered useless, ripped from theirjoists. this is beira, where it is thought that there has been the greatest loss of life. while the damage on the ground is bad enough, it is from the air that you can see the scale of what has happened here. beira is the major port on mozambique's coast. now it is largely underwater, after the cyclone tore through it, bringing the sea in its wake. the city's tightly packed suburbs submerged.

no—one knows yet the true loss of life here. translation: flying sheets of metal decapitated people. some people are in hospitals. it's really bad. we don't eat properly, we don't sleep properly. we have no home. from the suburbs, cyclone idai's destructive force spread inland. no respecter of borders, it crossed into neighbouring zimbabwe. landslides, rockfalls and raging waters have marooned hundreds. as you can see, the devastation of cyclone idai — there is a major crater here. now, this is one of the main access roads between the city of mutare, where the support teams and the supplies are, and the villages of chimanimani, which have been cut off. we met an elderly couple who were trying to check on family members on the other side. he tells us he has been trying to call his family, trapped in chimanimani, to find out if they survived the storm, but he hasn't

been able to reach them. his wife, miriam, makes the sounds that that the wind and water made as the storm approached. she says the rains have been relentless. 5 million people were in need of food aid before the floods. this makes matters so much worse. shingai nyoka, bbc news, chimanimani, eastern zimbabwe. let's get some of the day's other news. the chief executive of warner brothers has resigned amid allegations he promised film roles in return for sex. kevin tsujihara had been in charge of the studio for six years. text messages published by an american magazine appear to show conversations between him and the british actress, charlotte kirk. the french government has fired the paris police chief and plans to ban rallies in some areas after saturday's violent protests. 10,000 people took part in anti—government protests this past weekend. they began four months ago, over the rising cost of living. a court in france has convicted congolese singer koffi 0lomide

of the statutory rape of one of his former dancers when she was 15. he was given a two—year suspended prison sentence in his absence. it's maybe not a phrase you'd expect to say too often in a news bulletin, but a retired belgian racing pigeon has fetched a record price in an online auction. the final price for armando was $1.4 million. armando is now heading for a happy retirement, breeding more champion chicks. caroline rigby has the story. described as the lewis hamilton of pigeon racing, armando has created quite a coup. exceptionally strong wings and a fantastic sense of direction make him one of the best competitors of all time. but, despite spending his life in the fast lane, the online auction initially crawled by. fuelled by the growing popularity of pigeon racing in china, it is thought two chinese fanciers fought over two weeks to take him under their wing.

eventually, though, a dramatic race to the finish saw armando sell for almost $1.4 million, $1 million more than the going rate for his fellow feathered athletes. translation: a very special day. we got up thinking, is it going to rise a lot more, or not? we'd hoped for a little more, as we'd already broken the record, but he's more than doubled. that was hectic, incredible. the five—year—old, who could live until he is 20, will now swap beating his wings for breeding, as one of the world's greatest ever homing pigeons moves to his new home — a chinese stud farm. i think caroline has covered all the bases on the puns, but i'm sure someone bases on the puns, but i'm sure someone will prove me wrong. and you can get in touch with me

and most of the team on twitter — i'm @bbcmikeembley. hello there. last week, we were bombarded by deep areas of low pressure, bringing gales and heavy rain, but i'm thankful to say this week is looking much quieter. we've got high pressure, i think, in the driving seat for many of us, so it'll be a lot more settled and quite mild. although we'll have quite a bit of cloud around, where you get the sunshine, it'll feel very springlike indeed. this is the area of high pressure which will be dominating the weather for us throughout this week. but we've still got a few weather fronts to contend with in the short term. so it does look like, early on tuesday, quite a lot of cloud around, some showery bursts of rain across northern and western areas, and it will be breezier here as well. so with all the cloud cover, i think, and even the rain and the breeze, it's not going to be a particularly cold start to tuesday.

but there will be quite a bit of cloud around. sunshine will be limited. i think probably the best of any, if you get some, will be the north—east of scotland, perhaps some spots across eastern england. but elsewhere, quite a bit of cloud, thickest across the north—west, where we'll see further outbreaks of rain, and it'll be breezier here too. so 11—14 celsius for scotland. further south, 12, 13 degrees, maybe 14 celsius in the south—east, which is actually pretty mild — a little bit higher than what we should be looking at this time of year. but things are set to turn even milder midweek onwards. this big wedge of air will move in off the atlantic. the orange and yellow colours denote that. and it does look like, if we get some sunshine across the eastern side of the country, then those temperatures will shoot up. but again, another very cloudy day, i think, across northern and western areas. thickest of the cloud across the west of scotland, where it'll be quite breezy. 13, maybe 14 degrees here. but across the south and the east, given some sunshine, we could be looking at 16 or 17 celsius. we've still got high pressure

with us, dominating the scene, i think, for much of england and wales. this weather front will bring thicker cloud, outbreaks of rain to scotland and then to northern ireland later in the day, and it will become quite windy here too, as well, so a bit of a different feel to the weather here. further south though, largely settled, variable cloud, a little bit of sunshine and again very mild, with temperatures reaching 15 or 16 degrees. something a bit cooler behind this weather front — nine or 10 celsius there, lower for stornoway. this weather front begins to slip south—east, but fizzles out as it does throughout friday. so we'll see outbreaks of rain for scotland and northern ireland, then into north—western parts of england and north—west wales later on. those temperatures dropping a little bit here, but still very mild, with some sunshine across the south and the east. now, it looks like that weather front will slip southwards during friday night, and then for the weekend, something a little bit cooler, as you can see. temperatures down a notch, but it looks still largely settled, with variable cloud, a bit of sunshine.
