a short extension to the process, will discuss brexit following on beyond the uk's scheduled departure date of march 29th. from that. that is the latest from number 10 has said this morning that, "the prime minister won t be asking our correspondent in brussels. for a long extension." that is the latest from our correspondent in brussels. theresa may's office says, the education secretary daminan "there is a case for giving hinds has been giving parliament a bit more time interviews this morning to agree a way forward." about the prime minister's "but the people plans to ask for a short extension to brexit. he's been giving his assessment of of this country have been waiting nearly three years now. where we are now to bbc breakfast. they are fed up with my parliament 5 failure to take my assessment is that we are very a decision and the prime minister close to the 29th of march and i would much rather this thing had shares their frustration." been done and dusted some time ago, but it has not been, parliament has any delay beyond the 29th march not found a majority to pass the will need the approval of the leaders of all 27 remaining deal, or indeed to do anything else eu states — they'll meet the prime minister tomorrow either and we need to do that. we need to make sure we honour the at a summit in brussels. referendum and leave the european union and do it in the good, jean—claude juncker said it is negotiated exit way. it will require unlikely the eu will reach a at this point i short extension, but i think it is right it is a sure decision at the summit, adding extension, because we have had a lot another meeting may be necessary next week. of time already. people just want us to get on with it. a week, would you 0ur assistant political editor, norman smith, is at millbank for us now.

agree with that? i don't understand that morning. we had heard of the prime minister had not had a deal by the premise, i understand the question, what do you mean by that? now, a democrat approved by now by the house of commons, she would be 0ne question, what do you mean by that? one of your ministers sitting around asking for a longer extension, but the table with you yesterday has thatis asking for a longer extension, but that is not happening? ——or a deal described this decision as a week? as opposed to what? we need to get a deal, we need to make sure that we approved by now. it seemed pretty are leaving the european union with are leaving the european union with a good negotiated exit. even if clear m rs approved by now. it seemed pretty clear mrs may would leave the door open to a longer delay. wake up this right now that the vote was passed morning to be told by number 10, no, in parliament, there are a number of thatis technical and legislative things morning to be told by number 10, no, that is not going to happen, mrs may will not be asking for any delay that have to happen before the date of exit. you have to think about beyond the 30th ofjune. number 10's what is physically possible. but we also need to get that deal through. positive take on this is mrs may has mines are being focused now. taken on the concerns of voters fed up taken on the concerns of voters fed up and frustrated with the fact collea g u es mines are being focused now. colleagues right across parliament are increasingly coming to the brexit goes on and on and they want conclusion that for their it resolved and she said she shares constituents it is the right thing to do, to make sure that we get on the frustration and believes parliament has to make a decision. and do this and put party politics aside and come together and get a

it is clear she was facing the deal that is good for britain. threat of a major and i mean major cabinet and backbench explosion if breaking news now because we have she went on the road of a delay of the latest inflation figures for february published by the office for up she went on the road of a delay of up to two years. we know that not national statistics. jonty bloom is here to tell us what they are. the just from what brexiteers was core inflation rate is 1.9%. that is saying, but just last just from what brexiteers was saying, butjust last thursday just from what brexiteers was saying, but just last thursday we had a vote on extending article 50, up core inflation rate is 1.9%. that is on the idea of any delay and more up marginally from last month and thatis up marginally from last month and that is still a pretty low figure. than half the tory party voted the bank of england aims to get against including among others the inflation at around 2%. it is within brexit secretary. imagine if you spitting distance of its target and then ask parliament to pack a delay thatis of up to two years. in duncan smith, spitting distance of its target and that is surprising. yesterday we had figures on unemployment showing it was falling, there were another prominent brexiteer, said this morning up to 90% of the tory party 222,000 people in work, and wages would have voted against it in we re parliament. i think the fact is she 222,000 people in work, and wages were increasing at 3.5%. normally at times like that it pushes up knew she was facing an epic report on the backbenches and she realised inflation. it is more expensive to find workers and workers have more she had no alternative and this money to spend and that causes morning interestingly andrea leadsom inflation, but it is not happening speaking on lbc acknowledged there we re at the moment. why do we think that speaking on lbc acknowledged there were divisions in the cabinet over

delay. i feel the prime isn't other factors behind at the moment. why do we think that isn't otherfactors behind inflation right now? there have been some were divisions in the cabinet over delay. i feelthe prime minister plasma entire cabinet needs to remain focused on getting us out of increases in food and other goods, the eu and i believe we are, with but it is a different market at the the eu and i believe we are, with moment. there is a battle on the the prime minister's deal, but there high street for survival and we see companies go bust virtually every day and we have new internet different views of her deal cannot be supported by parliament and my companies arriving all the time view is we need to leave the eu. selling things more cheaply. there the brexiteers are a lot happier isa selling things more cheaply. there is a lot of praise competition at the end we suspect that is holding today but mrs may by taking this back inflation and if people spend money, they are spending it very decision has in some ways made it harderfor her to get carefully. decision has in some ways made it harder for her to get her deal through because one of the big stick the prime minister of new zealand, she was waiting at recalcitrant jacinda ardern, has told the bbc brexiteers was to say, if you do not there needs to be a globalfight to root out racist pack my deal, there is the threat of right—wing ideology. speaking in an exclusive interview a long postponement to brexit —— in the wake of last week's mosque attacks which left 50 worshippers back my deal. that has been taken dead, jacinda ardern told our correspondent clive myrie that her country had been targeted off the table. however, a big precisely because it is a beacon of tolerance and multi—culturalism however, we have still to see mrs and pressed for action to combat the rising threat of far right terrorism. may's letter, and we have to see the

we absolutely have to learn language in the letter. although number 10 say the prime minister the lessons from both what gave rise will not be asking for a long delay, to the ugly ideology of this individual and what environments that does not necessarily close the allow that to grow and door absolutely entirely to the to potentially spread. but i distinguish that possibility of some longer delays. we will have to see the words, the from fulfilling his wish to gain notoriety out of his heinous act. language, to see whether there is any language, to see whether there is a ny recovery language, to see whether there is any recovery metal. this morning, the education secretary was asked and so that is the distinction that i make. what exactly a short delay might when you heard the news of what mean “— what exactly a short delay might mean —— wriggle room. what exactly a short delay might mean -- wriggle room. it is the happened, what were your thoughts? opposite of long, clearly. it means as sooi'i opposite of long, clearly. it means as 50011 as opposite of long, clearly. it means i don't think any leader as soon as possible. when we had the anywhere can really prepare vote in parliament the other day, themselves for those moments. there was an acknowledgement about there was an acknowledgement about the existence of the european elections which creates a particular but it is fair to say i happen watershed moment and i think it to be the prime minister probably does help to define what of a particularly peaceful nation, an inclusive nation, counts as long and short. the prime minister would like to do it as a place where 200 ethnicities quickly as possible. i delay after and 160 languages are spoken. the 29th of march should be as short we pride ourselves on being well

as possible and that is something i share. the other thing that might known as a welcoming place. have concentrated mrs may's mind is in fact, the terrorist who brought getting a longer delay approved by this act to new zealand chose us the eu 27 because they made clear for this terrorist act that if you want a long delay, you because we are all of those things. have to have a very good and and so shock was of course specific reason for it, such as my immediate reaction. another referendumed—macro i general electiontwo even a fundamental change to mrs may's brexit deal —— how could this happen here to us and to this community? you are pushing for tighter gun controls and you want to do it another referendum or a general as fast as possible. election. this morning, the yes. brexiteers feeling a lot more where are the gaps? co mforta ble, brexiteers feeling a lot more comfortable, remainers up in arms because they believe no deal has now what are the loopholes that need to be plugged to prevent this kind of thing happening again? been put back on the table, albeit one is very obvious, that is the availability of military style, semiautomatic weapons put back until 30th ofjune. in new zealand. and, yes, we have gun use been put back on the table, albeit put back until 30th ofjune. norman, thank you. for legitimate purposes, particularly in our rural community, so what reception might this but my view is they will absolutely news that theresa may support us in tackling will seek a short the availability of weapons that extension get in brussels? we have been hearing reports from are very obviously

the president of the european designed to take lives. commission saying that an agreement on an extension from the other 27 eu how concerned are you of a rising tide of white countries might not actually be nationalism in new zealand? achieved tomorrow at a summit in how bad is that situation getting? brussels. 0ur correspondent there is adam fleming. i think the eu 27, the other countries will be ok about the idea my call would be a global one. ofa you know, i am very clear countries will be ok about the idea of a short extension to brexit because that was the idea that here to make the distinction that, yes, this was an australian citizen, eve ryo ne because that was the idea that everyone could agree to. it was the but that is not to say that we do not have ideology idea of a longer extension that had in new zealand that would be people asking hard questions. the an affront to the majority of new zealanders. issue is, will this be settled it would be utterly rejected by the majority, the vast tomorrow night when theresa may majority of new zealanders. comes to see eu leaders? lots of speculation last night that he would but we still have a responsibility need to have an extra summit of eu to weed it out where it exists and make sure that we never create an environment where leaders next week after they had it can flourish. been a vote in parliament to approve but i would make that a global call. the extension, whatever length it what new zealand experienced was going to be. we have now had here was a violent act brought against us by someone who grew up jean—claude juncker, president of and lived their ideology somewhere the european commission, saying exactly that on german radio this else, so actually if we want to make morning. it is not the end of the sure that globally we are a safe and tolerant and inclusive world,

story at all. the eu will be looking we cannot think about this in terms of boundaries. at, 0k, fine, short extension, but that is the kind of leadership i does that mean the so—called cliff think we need to see on this issue. edge of no deal is just moved back a how do you bring this few months from march untiljune? community back together? they will also be wondering whether theresa may will be back to ask for i will first acknowledge that a longer extension and a couple of actually this was a community that months because she still has not got was by and large already together. the deal through. they are also myjob is to ensure asking will the uk end up having to it is not shattered apart. ta ke asking will the uk end up having to take part in european elections in and you are convinced you can succeed in that? may because they will end up staying absolutely because that is in the eu beyond the summer? attem pts in the eu beyond the summer? atte m pts to in the eu beyond the summer? attempts to just do that emoji. what new zealand is. prime minister, thank you. clive reflecting how many of us are feeling this morning. at 9:15am, we will be getting the reaction from myrie speaking to the prime minister the chair of the brexit select of new zealand, jess ardern. committee, hilary benn. later on today, we will be taking a closer let's have a look at the most—read and most—watched look at the options open to the stories on bbc online. prime minister at two 30p this it is brexit. we have also found out afternoon when we will be putting your questions to our experts —— to

in the last few minutes from our 30 pm. correspondent in brussels, adam fleming, that the eu as yet has not get in touch using the hashtag #bbcaskthis. yet received the request for sure you can also text on 61124 and email askthis@bbc.co.uk. extension to the brexit process either in letter or in any other funerals have been taking form. if we go to the most watched, place in christchurch, for some of the 50 people killed number one, brexit, the choice last friday when a gunman facing british citizens living in attacked two mosques. germany. these are three british as the mourning continues, people living and working in germany new zealand police say they hope to have completed the formal who have applied for citizenship in identification of all 50 victims germany because of the uncertainty by the end of wednesday over brexit. they feel it is the and would then be able to release best way forward. you can see one of the remaining bodies to the families. the prime minister of new zealand, them quoted as saying, i think brits jacinda ardern, has been speaking abroad feel a bit abundant in this exclusively to the bbc. she told our correspondent, process. interesting to hear their clive myrie, there needed to be views. let's look at one other story a global fight to root out racist in the most watched, not related to right—wing ideology, brexit, it is at number ten. it is but first, she described how she reacted to the initial news of the attacks. i don't think any leader off piste skiers in austria. they anywhere can really prepare are getting caught up in an themselves for those moments. avalanche. let me press play. they

speak in french at the beginning of this. they sound incredibly calm but it's fair to say i happen to be, when this ridge of snow gives way though, the prime minister underneath them. there it goes. of a particularly peaceful nation, tha nkfully underneath them. there it goes. thankfully no one was injured in an inclusive nation, this. mountain rescue teams were called and no one was buried under a place with 200 ethnicities and 160 the snow. very watch indeed. languages are spoken. we pride ourselves on being very watch indeed. well—known as a welcoming place. that's it for today's morning briefing. in fact, the terrorist who brought sport now and a full round up this act to new zealand chose us from the bbc sport centre. for this terrorist act raheem sterling, these comments are because we are all of those things. generating a debate. they really are and, so, shock was, of course, and there is one word that runs like my immediate reaction. and there is one word that runs like a theme through all of this and that how could this happen here, to us, is togetherness. it has become part of the england team under gareth and to this community? southgate. that is something they are keen to continue as they prepare how concerned are you of a rising tide of white nationalism in new zealand? for a couple of euro qualifiers. they all rallied around raheem how bad is that situation getting, do you think? sterling after he criticised the way my call would be a global one.

the media portrayed black players. you know, i am very clear here to make the distinction that, yes, this was an australian citizen, but that is not to say we do not have ideology in new zealand that would be an affront to the majority of new zealanders, utterly rejected by the majority, the vast this england team is flying, majority, of new zealanders, but it is not only results that have but we still have a responsibility been a breath of fresh air. to weed it out where it exists where previous players were afraid to speak their minds, and make sure that we never create the rise of social media has given an environment where it can flourish. modern football is a voice — but i would make that a global call. and in raheem sterling's case, a powerful one. after he was allegedly racially abused at chelsea earlier this what new zealand experienced season, he took to instagram to say the media's different treatment here was violence brought against us of black and white players by someone who grew up helps to fuel racism. and learned their ideology today, his team—mate danny rose said somewhere else. the squad back him unequivocally. when he put the post up about, so, actually, if we want to make you know, the media, sure that, globally, we were all over the moon with that, we are a safe and tolerant because we all agree, and inclusive world, we cannot think about this and raheem was spot on. in terms of boundaries. raheem was only saying what we all and that's the kind say in the dressing rooms. of leadership i think we need rose understands what sterling has been through. he was himself the subject of racist to see on this issue. abuse from serbian fans, how do you bring this playing for england in 2012. community back together? before last year's world cup,

i would first acknowledge that, sterling's gun tattoo, a reference to his late actually, this was a community that father, garnered yet more negative headlines. was, by and large, already together. myjob is to ensure that was another source of frustration. it was just sad, really. it is not shattered apart. he was 100% spot and you are convinced on with what he said — you can succeed in that? absolutely. that the stick he used to get because that is what new zealand is. from the media was bang 0k. out of order. prime minister, thank you. southgate's reign is notable thank you. for the squad's togetherness. with this trophy up for grabs this summer, this camaraderie could be key. jacinda ardern. and we can go live to christchurch now, evening time, and speak to our correspondent, phil mercer. picking up on the interview, any further sense of how jacinda ardern will take this idea, global fight against a racist right wing ideology that she talks about, how ryan giggs is finding himself she will take that forward? defending the class of 92 after ideology that she talks about, how she will take that forward ?|j ideology that she talks about, how she will take that forward? i would imagine that she would be working in criticism. when you play over 2000 concert with her australian collea g u es concert with her australian colleagues across the sea, the prime minister, scott morrison, there has

rejects leaving with no deal under using high—strength cannabis, any circumstances, the first thing is to try to find out whether there more likely for those using high—strength cannabis, was a different approach that such as skunk, every day. parliament would support. the symptoms such as delusion, so having unusual beliefs, options basically are a free trade being concerned that the noises that might come from the neighbour agreement, i would options basically are a free trade agreement, iwould not options basically are a free trade agreement, i would not support that because it would not solve the are notjust random noises, but they are actually targeting problem of the border in northern the individual, feeling ireland and it would not give us that there is a plot of persecution, friction free trade which is so and to feel under threat constantly, when there isn't any reason important for british manufacturing. to believe that there the customs union, which i would is a danger out there. support, but the prime minister has and all this, the authors say, rejected it. a deal like no way potentially hitting young people which i would also support which the at a vital time, just as they are making decisions prime minister has rejected. —— like about their education or work. norway. the idea of a confirmatory referendum put forward by my collea g u es referendum put forward by my colleagues wilson and kyle, saying now it's time for a to the government, whatever can be agreed by parliament, and if not, look at the weather. it is the first day of spring. your deal, we would be prepared to put it through if you put it to the it is the spring equinox today and british people. if the british people reject your deal, we would we will have some springlike weather remain in the eu. at some point, we over the next couple of days. have to bring this process to an temperatures are on the rise. this

end. parliament remains deadlocked, morning it has been quite cloudy. despite the best efforts to find an this is a photo from the wirral, the alternative way forward, which i think we are honour bound to do now, son trying to poke through the cloud. elsewhere we have had some especially in the absence of the good clear spells. this is a nice government showing any leadership whatsoever, we are rudderless as a picture of the first day of spring. nation at a time of crisis, this is mild air is with all of us today, very, very serious. if we remain deadlocked, the only way to resolve except the far north of scotland. it would be to go back to the british people and say, here is the this is the ms picture and it means one deal that has been negotiated, temperatures will rise quite nicely parliament does not think much of in the afternoon. the best of the it. if you reject that, we will sunshine at the moment is in wales remain. is essential that an and the north midlands and lincolnshire and yorkshire. agreement with the eu if we get to that point there is sufficient time elsewhere, there will be a few for a referendum. my view is if we went back in june brea ks for a referendum. my view is if we went back injune if we decided that elsewhere, there will be a few breaks developing and temperatures was the way forward and said, we could be as high as 15—17, but even need more time to conclude the with the cloud it will still feel referendum which will bring this to quite mild. in the final of scotland an end because we will get a clear decision, the point about a we have got patchy rain moving its confirmatory referendum, it does not way in and that will intensify come back to parliament for further overnight tonight with a debate, the decision will be made, strengthening wind. a few clear spells here and there. you might get

for your time. at least 300 people have been killed by cyclone idai, which has triggered a massive disaster in southern africa. the un says millions of people across mozambique, zimbabwe and malawi could be affected by widespread flooding and devastation. 0ur reporter kathryn stanczyszyn reports. this is the aftermath of cyclone idai. rescue agencies are working round—the—clock in mozambique, zimbabwe and malawi, but many aid trucks are stuck on roads that have become impassible. the un says hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people have been affected. five days ago, cyclone idai hit the continent's south—eastern coast, wreaking destruction across a huge area. it first made landfall near the mozambique city of beira, burying some as homes collapsed, leaving many in a desperate situation. my house is broken. and in my house, i don't have nothing to eat — nothing, nothing.

from morning up to now, we have nothing to eat. powerful floodwaters swept inland, taking with them houses, roads and people. 600,000 people affected, possibly even going up to 1.7 and more million people affected by cyclone and flooding. communication completely broken, infrastructure severely damaged. we're bringing down helicopters and we've started the food distribution for all the people affected in the flood and the cyclone—affected areas. in zimbabwe, whole villages were swept away, displacing tens of thousands. the united nations says the world has not yet realised the sheer scale of this disaster and more help is urgently needed. let's talk to our correspondent shingai nyoka who's following events from mutare in zimbabwe. tell us what conditions are like in zimbabwe festival. -- first of all.

the skies have cleared, good news for rescue and relief efforts. most of the areas cut off are only accessible by air and many more helicopters will be able to which some of those people who really need assistance and the cycling did strike five days ago and cutting off some communities —— the cycling. those in the furthest communities are still waiting for food aid and assistance. we have heard harrowing stories, very moving stories from people who made their way, walked long distances to safety, they talk about their relatives being swept away, they talk about people trapped under rubble that they had to free and some died. we saw some of the physical effects, injuries, broken bones, bleeding, swollen, bruised. it clearly is a devastation no one had anticipated would turn out like

this. the countries affected and the agencies, are they talking yet about longer term recovery or are they still focused very much on the immediate problems at hand? the aid organisations and government and even locals have been trying to donate for the immediate needs as well as medical supplies for the injured. there is a sense that the institutions are overwhelmed by the effects of this. the rescue operations have not even talk that they have begun but so many more people are when need of rescuing —— the rescue operations have not even. . . the rescue operations have not even... this is what authorities are focused on now. the military has also been spearheading the efforts to repair the roads just also been spearheading the efforts to repair the roadsjust so also been spearheading the efforts to repair the roads just so that they can access some of the areas to get to some of the people that need help. zimbabwe is still very much

traumatised by this so the focus is on the here and there now, getting relief to the people that need it, getting medical assistance to those that need it now. thank you. in mutare, zimbabwe. and here... the number of modern slavery cases involving british children more than doubled last year, according to the national crime agency. it says county lines gangs who work to move drugs from cities into rural areas are fuelling the rise, as they often use children to transport illegal substances. a figure of 7,000 in one year, and an increase of 80% over two years, is undoubtedly significant. we should all be concerned around that. we recognise that policing, government, ngo and other partners government, nca, ngo and other partners have all played a really big part in raising awareness, providing better training, reassuring victims. and all of that plays a role in the rise of people identified and referred into the national referral mechanism, to ensure that they get the safeguarding, support and protection that they need.

we're nowjoined by home affairs correspondent, danny shaw. we would not automatically think of children working for these county lines gangs as being slaves, would we? this is the definition applied by the government, modern slavery and trafficking, and the reason is because they are young people. work for the gangs. they are either taking the drugs from city areas to rural and coastal towns —— young people. to work for the gangs. in some cases what we have seen as vulnerable people having homes in effect conclude, that is the time, in which the drug gangs take over a home ina in which the drug gangs take over a home in a rural or coastal town and essentially kidnapped and in full stand to use the place as a network, a place to sell drugs from. that is why this definition of modern

slavery is being applied. 0f why this definition of modern slavery is being applied. of course, it is not i suppose the picture most of us would have on our heads in terms of slavery in people being held in chains, but some of the conditions they are held in and some of the consequences if they do not comply with the orders of the criminal gangs are really serious. clearly these cases involving children are driving the numbers up but more broadly the numbers are up anyway, what else is driving the increase? the overall number of cases referred full support is just under 7000, an increase of over a third year on year. much of that is because there is greater awareness of the problem and the authorities and agencies, they know there are people and support can be offered and therefore the reporting mechanisms are better, but there does appear to be some kind of genuine rice going on in terms of the county lines gangs and networks —— genuine rise. particularly

driving people under the age of 18. thank you for telling us more on that story. in a moment the weather but first let's here's victoria derbyshire with what she's got coming up in her programme at ten. the transfer via twitter row that has ended up as a police investigation, but did the founder of the charity mermaid, complain to the place because somebody message and at her daughter. we will be asking the head of mermaid, susie green, when shejoins us. now it's time for a look at the weather with simon king. todayit today it is the spring equinox and it will be mostly dry today. the temperatures are starting to rise. there could be much cloud around and temperatures could get up to 16 or
