this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 2pm... tens of thousands of people are marching through central london, demanding another brexit referendum. these are the latest aerial pictures from central london where protestors are gathering to hear speeches from leading referendum campaigners. meanwhile, theresa may warns mps a third meaningful vote may not take place next week if it doesn't get "sufficient support". american—backed kurdish forces declare victory over islamic state after capturing the group's last remaining stronghold in syria. a 17—year—old is stabbed to death following a fight outside a block of flats in west london. us special counsel robert mueller submits his report into alleged russian collusion with president trump's campaign during the 2016 presidential election.

and researchers in london have produced these unprecedented images of a baby's heart whilst it's still inside the womb. tens of thousands of people are marching through central london, calling for another brexit referendum. the demonstration, which has been organised by the "put it to the people" campaign, is marching to parliament square, where speakers will address a rally. these are some of the pictures. numbers have been gathering possible

are saying they expected significant numbers of people to march from park lane, making their way to parliament square and the rally will then commence in front of parliament itself. a number of speakers are expected. there have been a collection of placards and you can see that the crowds are building over the last few hours. flags of the european union flying as well. labour's deputy leader, tom watson, is taking part, along with scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon. it comes ahead of another critical week in the brexit process. our political correspondent pete saul reports. whether it's to be or not to be, many believe another referendum is the only way forward. it's still growing, but this could become one of the largest protests this country has ever seen. their argument is clear —

if parliament cannot resolve the issue, why not put brexit back to the people? i never wanted to leave in the first place and ijust think i have no faith in the government being able to run the country. we should have a say, now that everyone knows what the deal is, we should have a say on what the future of the uk should be. we've got to a shambles where we're one week before and even the house of commons, even may does not appear to know what deal she wants. the chances of another referendum appear slim, though. most mps are opposed, including the prime minister. after the eu give her a new timetable for brexit, theresa may is fast running out of options. in a letter to mps, she admits there might not be a third vote on her brexit deal this week if it appears there is not sufficient support. the numbers are against her and there is little sign of them changing. tensions are running high, including within the government. one minister says he would resign if the uk asked for a longer delay. i cannotjustify going to my

constituents and explaining why we have not left the european union. others believe the prime minister's time is up. she has to go. i'm not saying the government should go — that's the last thing we want — but she has to go and we need some temporary prime minister who can reach out, put the country first, get this back to the british people. that is what we are marching for today, a people's vote. as the crowds swell in central london, mps are preparing for another set of votes. the idea is to work out what they are for, rather than what they are against. but whatever they choose might be too much for the government to stomach. next week could be key to the future of britain, and of our prime minister. peter saul bbc news. this is the scene around trafalgar square. you can see the people milling around, indicating how many of the roads have been closed. the

crowds are expected to grow, gathering obviously to put their feelings across for a second referendum but also they will be hearing from a number of speakers. the rally itself will be opened by richard bacon and mariella. but the key speakers, we are expecting nicola sturgeon just after 2:30pm but there will be eight mps speaking and headlining the rally, the likes of anna soubry, justine greening, caroline lucas, phillip lee and david lammy also expected to speak and hopefully we will be listening in to what they have to say. let's now speak to conservative mp for wokingham john redwood. thank you for speaking to us. firstly, the past week, what are

your thoughts on what has taken place? it has been very sad, the prime minister should understand that her agreement is deeply unpopular in the country, with only about 15% support, and it is deeply unpopular in parliament. she needs to lead us out and keep a promise that we will leave on the 29th of march, which she had often told us we will do, and she needs to offer a comprehensive free trade deal to the other members of the european union so other members of the european union so that we can leave with negotiations under way for a free trade agreement which would mean we need imposed tariffs and new barriers. that is all easier said than done, isn't it? we're having this extension because we have not been able to achieve that. how is she going to unify parliament to get them behind her deal that we can come as she says, fulfil what the british public want, which is brexit? her deal is dead and that is why i told you, the easy way out from here is to table the free trade

agreement which donald tusk said they were interested in receiving, which she has obstinately refused to table, and get us out on decent terms at the time she told us we would be leaving. that is what parliament also expressed a strong preference for when it sent the article 50 letter which meant that, in international law, we leave at the end of next week. and when it passed the european withdrawal agreement. i think this whole idea of vindictive votes is a crazy idea because we have had nothing but debates in parliament for the last two and a half years —— indicative votes. parliament has already voted down staying in the customs union, staying in the single market, it voted down by a big margin this idea ofa voted down by a big margin this idea of a second referendum. what is the point of rerunning all that to annoy 17.4 million leave voters who were promised to do what we asked them to put. parliament has to understand

that the public expect us to solve it and next week. there are some saying that they will vote for the deal if it is put back on the table in order to simply achieve brexit. round two will be when they can work on the finer details about the trade deal. is that the right approach?m course not. i have explained that the public have seen through that and most mps have seen through that and most mps have seen through that and it does not look as if it is going to change. why am i someone who wants to deliver what the parliament asked for, say mining against the agreement? because it is not brexit. it looks as into the eu for another 21—45 months, it may lock us into the customs union interpret unity, it makes as a rule ta ke interpret unity, it makes as a rule take and we would have to pay a huge sum of money to the eu that we don't owe. sum of money to the eu that we don't owe. it gets in the way of taking back control of our money, our laws and borders which was what leave voters voted for. they were right, i wa nt to voters voted for. they were right, i want to help them, it's high time

parliament understood the majority view in this country and understood that when parliament promised leave photos that we would do what they said if they won, they meant it and they should see it through. 50 said if they won, they meant it and they should see it through. so it sounds as if no deal is ok by you, despite the warnings that have been coming from the likes of the cbi?|j don't believe it is no deal, it is many deals. there is already a government procurement deal, a haulage deal, an aviation deal, and i've explained how we can work to a trade deal in an damaging way which would mean we didn't need to impose ta riffs would mean we didn't need to impose tariffs and new barriers when we left the eu. many deals is what we have and what we need. it is quite misleading people to say we would be leaving with no agreement at all. it is even worse to leaving with no agreement at all. it is even worse to scaremonger. leaving with no agreement at all. it is even worse to scaremonger. the drugs will come in, the food will come in, there are no companies on the continent threatening to stop supplying under contract they already have with us and the ports

of calais and dover have made it very clear to all that are prepared to listen that it is business as usual the day after we leave because they value the business. wouldn't they? it sounds as if you are speaking directly to parliament to get in shape and sort themselves out? realistically, how likely is it that that will happen?” out? realistically, how likely is it that that will happen? i don't know and my colleagues and i will be there next week with the others are saying to the rest of parliament, the remain dominated parliament, that they have to forget that they work remain voters and understand that, as members of parliament, elected on either the conservative 01’ elected on either the conservative or labour manifesto, they were elected on a clear promise to implement the wishes of the majority in the referendum. they were proud enough to stand on those election ma nifestos enough to stand on those election manifestos to get elected so it is their duty to implement what they promised in the election. it is different if your snp or liberal democrat because they always said they hated the whole thing and they wa nted they hated the whole thing and they wanted a second referendum. but 83% of the public voted in the general

election to see it through and leave the eu and their representatives in parliament must get on with it and dojust parliament must get on with it and do just that. we can go back to 2016 and what is happening now on the streets of london. you are saying that parliament should deliver what the people want. seems as if, looking the petition online, the people on the street, the people, some people, may want a second look at things. are you saying that they should not do? what you make of the march and the petition? we know that 60 million people wanted to stay in the eu and some of those would still prefer the eu and some of those would still p refer to the eu and some of those would still prefer to stay in the eu although not necessarily all of them and we know that within that, quite if you would like to have another go with a second referendum it was always a minority. we had this big argument in the general election. when i stood for election in wokingham, the liberal democrat challenge it said he did not like the result of the referendum and he offered people a second referendum if he and his friends were elected to parliament.

he got 15% of the vote only and if anyone in wokingham had wanted a second referendum, they had to vote for him because both i and the labour candidate clearly ruled it out. i can't break my promise to my electors in the general election. i thought then against a second referendum and that is exactly what i would do next week if we have to a nswer i would do next week if we have to answer the question again. remember that parliament has recently voted on this and 334 mps, an overall majority, voted against a second referendum so that even if labour decided to vote for it changed policy of wanting one, it would not make any difference because there is already a majority against. mrs may is under significant pressure. do you think she should be looking to step down early? i think mrs may should deliver her promise and if she delivers her promise, which i have set out, i'm very happy to support her. if she doesn't want to deliver her promise and she wants to tearup her main deliver her promise and she wants to tear up her main policy of leaving the european union, then i think her

future is very much in doubt. john redwood, thank you very much for joining us. you're watching bbc news. it is 13 minutes past two. us—backed kurdish forces say they have defeated islamic state militants, and conquered their last, small foothold in syria. syrian democratic forces have been fighting the remaining jihadists outside the village of baghuz. let's just take a look at how their territory has diminished. back in january 2015, the areas marked in red were under the control of the group. but since then it has slowly declined as islamic state were pushed back and, over the course of the last four years, their control has dwindled. and by the start of this year, they only held a few small areas of territory. recent fighting has focused on the area near baghuz and today us—backed forces in syria claim they have taken back that final strip of land.

the syrian democratic forces have been holding a press conference during which william roebuk, a us state department advisor, had this to say. we congratulate the syrian people, and particularly the syrian democratic forces, on the destruction of isis's fraudulent caliphate, and for the liberation of isis's remaining territory in eastern syria. this critical milestone in the fight against isis delivers a crushing, strategic blow and underscores the unwavering commitment of our local partners in the global coalition to defeat isis. the prime minister has also been talking about this today. she has issued a statement in which she says...

a teenager has been stabbed and killed in west london. scotland yard say the victim, believed to be a 17—year—old boy, was found seriously injured after reports of a fight outside a block of flats in union lane, isleworth. 0ur news correspondent jane—frances kelly is at the scene. update us with the latest. a crime scene tent is still behind me, that is where the teenager was found last night. officers were called at about 10:35pm after reports of a fight. they found a 17—year—old boy with serious wounds, stab wounds. they

gave him first aid, an ambulance arrived but he was pronounced dead at the scene. the detective fronting the investigation said that the teenager earlier had been at nearby syon park with a group of people and that a car pulled up, a group of males got out and they chased him from syon park to this block of flats where the attack took place. the mayor of london, sadik khan, who was on the brexit referendum in march, has been talking about the stabbing. i've been in touch with the commissioner and it's heartbreaking. it's a 17—year—old boy who's lost his life because of a knifing. and my thoughts and prayers, as i'm sure those of londoners are, are with his family. the police are following a number of lines of enquiry. there is currently a section 60 in place. that means, in that area, the police are able to stop and search anybody without the need for reasonable suspicion to see if they could be carrying a knife or an offensive weapon. there are extra resources

in isleworth, in that part of london, and i would say to the public, if anybody knows or has any information at all, there is no honour in staying silent. there is a family that is grieving now and they are bereaving because of this death. please contact the police, you can ring 101, or crimestoppers anonymously. residents say they are utterly shocked. normally this is a very quiet place to live in. they have been describing what they have heard. i went out about ten o'clock last night because there was a group of youths under my flat and i asked them to keep their voices down because i was going to bed. they were very apologetic. then, about half an hour later, i heard a bit of commotion and i looked out my window, getting ready to ask them to be quiet and it was the police with a police dog, right outside our flat. and then we came down and they said there had been a serious assault and woke up this morning and it was a fatal stabbing. i wouldn't expect this, especially

in some quiet type of estate. we are all a bit shocked and terrified about our children and ourselves. so hopefully this will not happen again. this has shaken residents. the police are appealing for witnesses, people who were here and also at syon park last night. thank you. the headlines on bbc news... tens of thousands of people are marching through central london, demanding another brexit referendum. meanwhile, theresa may has written a letter to mps, warning a third meaningful vote won't take place next week without "sufficient support" for her brexit deal. and in other news, american—backed kurdish forces declare victory over islamic state after capturing the group's last remaining stronghold in eastern syria.

bbc news has learned that the family of mark duggan, who was shot dead by a metropolitan police officer, is suing the force for damages. an inquest jury found that he was lawfully killed. the shooting in north london in august 2011 led to riots across england. keith doyle reports. the family of mark duggan have campaigned for the police to be held responsible for his death. mr duggan, who was 29, was shot and killed by officers who were trying to arrest him in north london in august 2011. the police said at the time they suspected he was in possession of a firearm. the killing lead to the worse riots seen in britain for 30 years. for five nights shops were looted and set on fire. five people died and hundreds were injured. trouble spread to other cities, including manchester, liverpool and birmingham. the inquest into mark duggan‘s death heard that armed police had

intercepted a minicab he was travelling in, as part of an arrangement to collect a gun. he was shot when he got out of the cab. the inquestjury concluded he was not holding the gun when he was shot, but said the killing was lawful because police honestly believed he was and he posed a threat. campaigners say the inquest left unanswered questions about the police operation. mr duggan‘s family now wants scotland yard to be held liable for his death and to pay compensation. scotland yard is defending the civil claim but says it is inappropriate to comment. keith doyle, bbc news. the mother of libby squire, the hull student whose body was found in the humber estuary on wednesday, has paid an emotional tribute to her "beautiful girl" and said no family should have to endure what hers has gone through. the 21—year—old's body was found seven weeks after she went missing following a night out on the 1st of february. humberside police is treating her

death as a "potential homicide". writing on facebook, libby's mother, lisa squire, said she'd lost one of the most precious things in her life, and that her heart is broken. she said that it was an "honour, privilege and a joy" to have been libby's mother, that she kept her safe as long as she could, and that she was "so sorry" she could not keep her safe on the night that she vanished. in the united states, democrat politicians say the public must be told the findings of the investigation into claims of collusion between donald trump's election campaign and russia. special counsel robert mueller submitted his long—awaited report yesterday. now the attorney general is deciding how much to share with politicians in congress, as our north america correspondent david willis explains. i have no idea about the mueller report. i'm going to florida... he'd reach there, in fact, by the time the most highly anticipated report

of his presidency was delivered. news that robert mueller had concluded his investigation of russian interference in the 2016 election came in a letter to lawmakers from the attorney general, william barr, who said he was reviewing the report and may be in a position to advise them of the special counsel's conclusions this weekend. the enigmatic mr mueller, who was once head of the fbi, has spent nearly two years looking at allegations of collusion between the trump campaign and the kremlin during the 2016 election. in that time, he's brought charges against several trump aides such as the former campaign chairman paul manafort — people with ties to russia but whose convictions were for lying or financial wrongdoing, not plotting to subvert the outcome of a presidential election. the usjustice department says no further indictments will be issued, so is that because a sitting president can't be indicted, or is it because mr trump

was telling the truth all along? the question now for the attorney general is how much of the mueller report to make public. all of it, say the democrats, and quickly. attorney general barr must not give president trump, his lawyers or his staff any sneak preview. announcer: the president of the united states... the mueller enquiry began just four months into donald trump's presidency and has cast a shadow over it ever since. but did it unearth evidence of wrongdoing on the part of the president himself? we may be about to find out. david willis, bbc news. there's growing anger in mozambique over the pace of the relief operation to help those affected by cyclone idai. the area around the port city of beira has been largely cut off and aid charities are warning of the threat of diseases like cholera. earlier our deputy africa editor

anne soy, who is in the capital maputo, explained what's gone so wrong with the relief operation. i am at the sea port in maputo, this ship is being loaded with emergency supplies which will be transported up north to the effected city of beira. beira was the fourth largest city of mozambique but it has completely been destroyed, 90% to 95% of the buildings, the infrastructure there has been destroyed. roads have been washed away, bridges have been destroyed. it will be very difficult to even distribute the emergency supplies that were generously donated by the local people here, roughly 2000 tonnes of food stuff, water, clothing, all manner of supplies that they need. now a new emergency, as you mentioned, an outbreak of ebola has been confirmed at one town there. it will be very difficult for the people who have survived the cyclone, the devastating impact of that cyclone, now having to deal

with an outbreak of disease. two cyclones are hurtling towards the northern and western coasts of australia. cyclone trevor has made landfall in the northern territory, where thousands of homes have been evacuated. further west, cyclone veronica has strengthened to a category—three storm. the al noor mosque in christchurch, new zealand, has reopened, eight days after the fatal shootings there. heavily—armed police continue to guard the building but small numbers of worshippers are being allowed in. thousands of people marched through christchurch last night in support of those affected. eight days ago, the al noor mosque was the scene of mass murder. 42 of the 50 victims died at the al noor mosque, and today the police handed it back to the muslim community.

it will remain the epicentre for the community's grief, but there is a sense that this is a very symbolic step forward. across the road at hagley park here in christchurch, 5000 people marched in what's known as the march for love. this event, organised by three 16—year—old high school students, another powerful act of solidarity eight days after the attack. further north in new zealand's biggest city, auckland, the prime minister, jacinda ardern, has addressed the country's biggest mosque and she's brushed aside global praise of her compassionate and decisive leadership during this tragedy here, saying that she's simply been echoing the humanity of all new zealanders. a new type of satellite tag for tracking birds of prey is being trialled at cairngorms national park in scotland. over the next 18 months, some young golden eagles, like the ones seen here, will be fitted with the raptor tracker tag.

it's hoped that the new technology will provide better information on the birds' movements and help to curb wildlife crime. earlier, i spoke to grant moir, the chief executive of the cairngorms national park authority, which is involved in the project. they have been issues with golden eagles in scotland, we have about 400 breeding pairs but some vacant territories and one of the things around that has been issues around persecution. what we are looking to do with this tracker is find out more about the birds' behaviours and research that side of things and also at the same time it gives us an insta nt also at the same time it gives us an instant fix on matt a bird may have died and we can find out where it was and what the cause might be. what about the population at the moment? how small is it? there is a good population on the west side of

scotla nd good population on the west side of scotland and within the cairngorms national park but there are still va ca nt national park but there are still vacant territories within the national park and part of this is to try and ensure that over time those territories are filled we try to get a full range of golden eagles within scotland. i suppose the challenge is how you achieve that. the tagging clearly is one helpful tool but there have to be other interventions to try and ensure this happens? absolutely, the tag is part of that in terms of giving us more information and being able to respond to things quicker than we previously have but we are also working with land managers closely, different organisations, a lot of different organisations, a lot of different things we can do. a lot of things going on but the tag is the key pa rt things going on but the tag is the key part of that. for you, what makes the golden eagle particularly special? it is an iconic species. people come from all around to view it. there are a lot of businesses within the cairngorms who rely on the golden eagle in terms of people

get to enjoy the area but the main thing for me is the thing of seeing them in the air when you're in the hills, the forest and glens and being able to know that the golden eagle is thriving within the national park. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. it looks very springlike and feels it but will it last? there will be a lot of dry weather in the week ahead. we have high pressure which will keep it settled for many but in the north—west of scotland, perhaps where those eagles are, a blustery day, plenty of showers on the radar and if you have been sneaking into the central belt of southern scotland and northern ireland. one of two showers to be expected. very windy, we have seen it up to 60 mph across shetland in recent hours but further south, a lot of dry weather, some sunshine but then quite cloudy but right in the south of england. a mixture of conditions out and about in the next few hours. overnight tonight, the winds will background to become a

south—westerly bringing plenty of showers. elsewhere, the temperature is drifting down and it will turn out to be a chilly night with clearing skies, one or 2 degrees in towns and cities and cold enough for some frost to start the day in the country. tomorrow, better for england and wales, more sunshine but showers in scotland were pushed southward into northern ireland and a few into northern england and north wales. some showers around, can produce between ten and 14 for most but peeling colder across the north of scotland when you factor in the win.
