"indicative", or advisory, votes. it's obviously very disappointing that the government lost yesterday. 0ur political correspondent
10:02 pm
i think that's put the country alex forsyth reports. in some difficulty, and i think there is clear frustration in westminster. still on show the day the best way forward after mps rejected theresa is the prime minister's deal, may's brexit plan again. but we'll see what the options are. will she put her deal back? we'll see. the question now the cabinet will need to consider what the next steps forward will be. is what happens next? the ayes to the right, 286. as yet, members of the government the noes to the left, 344. can't give any real clarity. i think what we have to do is to make sure that we deliver yesterday's rejection on the will of the people at the referendum. we have to keep trying. of the brexit plan was smaller some still argue the prime minister's brexit deal than the two previous efforts is the best option. but still substantial. on monday, mps will it's obviously very disappointing vote on alternatives that the government lost yesterday. to the prime minister's plan. i think that has put the country in some difficulty and i feel last time, parliament could not the best way forward agree on any one option, is the prime minister's deal but we will see but having another public vote what the options are. or keeping close to the eu in so will she put her deal back again? a customs union proved most popular. well, obviously, the cabinet will have to consider what the next the government is waiting to see step forward will be. if mps can agree a way forward the ayes to the right, 286. but isn't clear if that the noes to the left, 344. will change its direction. a customs union doesn't actually reflect or respect what was in our own manifesto, but we've got to look yesterday's rejection of the brexit plan was smaller at what parliament coalesces around next week. but i think the best way forward than the two previous efforts is to be looking at getting that
10:03 pm
but still substantial. withdrawal agreement through. on monday, mps will but the labour leader, vote on alternatives to the prime minister's plan. campaigning in newport today, is holding firm last time, parliament could not against the prime minister's plan, calling for further agree on any one option but having compromise, or an election. another public vote or keeping close the absolute priority at the moment to the eu in a customs union is to end this chaos that this proved most popular. government has brought us to by their endlessly running down the clock, and basically bullying and threatening people. the government's waiting to see the bullying hasn't worked. if mps can agree in a way forward but isn't clear if that the threats haven't worked. will change its direction. it's time now for the sensible the customs union doesn't people to take over. actually reflect or respect today there were protests along what was in our own manifesto but we have got to look the irish border by those concerned at what parliament coalesces around next week. about brexit and what it but i think the best way to go might mean here. forward is to be looking at getting at the same time, elsewhere, that withdrawal agreement approved. but the labour leader, others are pressing the government campaigning in newport to walk away without a deal. today, is holding firm against the prime minister's plan calling for further two weeks until the uk's compromise or an election. new planned exit date, the absolute priority at the moment is to end this chaos that this and finding a solution seems as hard as ever. government has brought us to by their endlessly running down alex forsyth, bbc news. the clock and basically bullying and threatening people. meanwhile, senior conservatives have the bullying hasn't worked, the threats hasn't worked. rallied around the former it's time now for the sensible attorney general and high—profile people to take over. remain campaigner, dominic grieve, let us pray for our parliament. after his local party made
10:04 pm
let us pray for union. moves to deselect him. and let us pray for peace. mr grieve, who has called for a further referendum on eu membership, lost a vote the church of england arranged of confidence by his local prayers for unity today but less conservative association. than two weeks before the new date he blamed what he called on which we are due to leave, an "orchestrated campaign" by pro—brexit figures division is entrenched. some want to walk away with no deal. in his beaconsfield constituency. others are resisting. 0ur political correspondent parliament is at alex forsyth joins us now from westminster. a crucial crossroads. alex forsyth, bbc news. today is the deadline alex — i dare hardly for public sector bodies with more than 250 employees to reveal how much of a pay ask — what next? difference there is between male and female workers. in the short term at least? to put but thousands of companies it bluntly, it's not clear what the are yet to file their data. government is going to do next, but earlier, deborah hargreaves, the founder and director they will be watching very closely of the independent think—tank what happens here on monday when mps the high pay centre, explained why the gender pay gap vote on a whole series of alternatives to the prime minister's continues to be such a problem. brexit plan. if they can get behind any one idea, the expectation is it will be something that retains close well, i think that what happens ties to the eu, perhaps a form of is you are seeing a lot of job segregation. customs union, and it could be that a lot of women in the lower ranks of organisations, and the men, of course, the prime minister presents a are at the top. they are better paid. choice, her deal or that option, in so, some organisations have tried to address that by appointing the hope it will bring some
10:05 pm
a very senior woman, brexiteers on board, but that is far who then obviously skews the pay gap but does not do much from certain. meanwhile, she is for the people on the lower ranks. under pressure from a number of what we have got to conservative mps just to walk away, see more happening is to leave without any deal at all, for women to get up the ranks in organisations, to get into more and labour is pressing for a general powerfuljobs and to election to break the impasse. at start to affect this. least one minister today has warned against that prospect, but with all when you look at something these options on the table and no like the national health service, for example, britain's biggest obvious route out of it, the employer of women, government only really has two weeks women are predominantly until we are due to leave the eu on in the lower paid bands. april 12 to make these crucial pay band one, which is decisions. alex, thank you. £17,500 per year, that is 75% of women. palestinian authorities say whereas, right at the top, four people have died, they are predominantly men including three 17—year—old boys, and most of the nhs trusts as tens of thousands of palestinians protest at the perimeter fence between israel and gaza. are run by men. some demonstrators threw so, we have really got to start stones and burned tyres, trying to encourage women, with israelis returning tear gas or not even encouraging women, but actually making it possible and live fire. tonight israeli forces say rockets for them to come through the ranks. have been launched from gaza. it's the first anniversary in some cases, i think of weekly protests we even need to have legislation to get against a security blockade by the israelis which prevents women into top jobs. the movement of goods it is happening so slowly. and people in and out of gaza.
10:06 pm
why? 0ur middle east correspondent tom companies are very bateman sent this report from gaza. resistant to do this. a warning, his report does when you look at... contain distressing images. there is currently a target for getting 30% of women on boards by next year. he throws a rock. gunshot. an israeli sniperfires back. that has not been met by all companies. when you look at the excuses they make, a bullet to the leg — they are quite shocking. another palestinian joins the thousands with wounds they will say things like, "well, from a year of protests at gaza's boundary fence. all the good ones have gone." 0r, "we have got one woman, week after week, they we do not need any more." "i do not think they would understand the technical have come back here. issues we discuss." this couple got engaged after you know, terrible excuses that you would not expect to hear in 2019. meeting at the protests last year. every palestinian has that is, really, a very the right to live... unambitious target. we are here in gaza. that target of 30% of women on big company boards should be met next year, but i am saying, why are we not we are oppressed people. we want to live our lives, getting 50% of women? we want to feed our children. why do we not see 50% the protest began over the palestinian right to return of women at all levels to ancestral homes in the land throughout the economy that is now israel, but they have and throughout our workforce ? become about much more — a venting of anger over we should be represented. the crippling state of life in gaza. we are half of the workforce. nearly 200 people have been shot in fact, in some cases, dead since last march. among the younger ages, last year, an israeli soldier
10:07 pm
we are more than half the workforce. was killed by a palestinian sniper. the protesters are currently and so why are we not less than 100 metres from the perimeter fence. represented at the top? and why do we not get our voice heard more clearly? israelis, so far, they have mostly been firing tear gas at the protesters. you can see the people here who are throwing rocks back, some have been burning tyres. from the snipers' nests, they watched. israel deployed thousands we'll be taking an in—depth of extra troops today. look at tomorrow's front pages in ‘the papers' explosives and petrol bombs with our reviewers dawn foster were thrown at them, they said. and james rampton. that's coming up at 10.30 they feared attempts to breach and 11.30 this evening. the fence and hurt civilians. viewers on bbc one will be joining us in a moment, in this event today, when kate silverton will have we've had approximately 40,000 all the headlines. demonstrators and rioters. see you shortly. but the key difference being, is hamas obviously making a choice here, deploying people on the ground and making sure that there were less rioters coming towards the fence. hamas is the militant group that controls gaza. its leaders were in the crowds today, its security men controlling the protesters, part of an arrangement with israel to calm tensions after fears a military flare—up earlier this
10:08 pm
week could slip out of control. the stakes are high. hamas is under pressure. israel has closely fought elections in ten days hinging on security, but for now at least, a more serious conflict seems to have been averted. tom bateman, bbc news, gaza. let's take a look at some of today's other news. the bbc has learnt that the pilot flying the plane carrying cardiff city striker emiliano sala when it crashed into the english channel was not qualified to fly at night. david ibbotson is thought to have been colour blind. the civil aviation authority has declined to comment while investigations continue. eurostar and southeastern train services from st pancras station have resumed after major disruption, caused by a protester, led to trains being suspended. the man made it onto the roof, waving the flag of st george. he's since been arrested. an anti—stall system has been blamed for the fatal crash
10:09 pm
of a boeing 737 max aircraft in ethiopia this month. sources involved in the investigation say the black box shows the nose of the plane was pushed down by the system, before it crashed outside addis ababa, killing all 157 people on board. a bbc investigation has discovered rogue traders are selling tens of thousands of pounds worth of receipts and invoices in a black market trade to cheat uk taxes. the dealers — who advertise online — sell authentic documents to enable others to fraudulently claim back vat and reduce the amount of income tax they pay. colin campbell has the story. how much is here? it is ten... 10,500. 10,500? and what do you want... he wants to sell me £10,000 worth of construction material receipts for £800, and boasts they can be used as a way to work around paying income tax. you have sold these to other people, yeah? yes, yes. i had almost 20. 20 grands' worth?
10:10 pm
yes. an illicit black—market trade, i contacted dealers posing as a self—employed builder, seeking to use the receipts to evade tax and fraudulently claim back vat. with a ring binderfull of construction material receipts, this polish builder wanted £2,500 for £30,000 worth of receipts. will these create trouble for us? no, no? no, no. you can see. this is not my name. it is not my name and it is also the cash. you can see. pay cash? another rogue trader, this time decorating receipts. can i use them for self assessment tax as well? yes, yes, ithink. this is paid by cash in the shop. this is like yours.
10:11 pm
you just say, "i buy this by cash. that's it." these guys are essentially committing tax fraud. i showed the footage to a tax expert. it's a crime because what it's doing is enabling people to reduce their tax bill and their vat bill illegally, because they haven't actually incurred the expense that they're going to claim for. i found more than a dozen dealers advertising the receipts on uk based polish classified ad sites. hmrc says it's committed to ensuring all companies and individuals pay the right tax at the right time, and will pursue those who fail to do so. so how many have you manged...? so how many have you managed...? 5,000. 5,000? 0k, great. all the dealers we spoke to had a ready supply of receipts. i'm actually a journalist from the bbc. but none wanted to discuss their illicit trade. what you're doing is criminal. it's fraudulent. you're helping people cheat the tax system, aren't you? no. vat? self—assessment? you're helping people cheat their tax. i don't know. you've got £30,000 worth of receipts here. a previously hidden crime,
10:12 pm
now a brazen illicit trade that's hard to combat. another form of tax evasion, cheating the country of much—needed revenue. colin campbell, bbc news. sir mickjagger says he's devastated to disappoint fans after the rolling stones announced they were postponing a tour of the us and canada while he receives medical treatment. the 75—year—old said he will be working hard to get back on stage as soon as possible. no details of his condition have been released. the tour was due to begin next month. with all the sport now, with lizzie greenwood hughes at the bbc sport centre. thanks very much, kate. good evening... saracens are the only british side left in rugby union's european champions cup. they brushed aside a scottish revival by thrashing glasgow. edinburgh were also knocked out by munster. but the closest game was in ireland where defending champions leinster had to dig deep to see—off ulster. adam wild has the story of the day.
10:13 pm
this is european rugby's top prize. never before had the scottish game had such strength in numbers. for the first time, two clubs through to the first time, two clubs through to the quarterfinals. in edinburgh's way, munster, experienced and competition hardened and he are too quick thinking for the edinburgh defence will stop but by half—time their lead was gone. christine's try helping the home team in front. and there they stayed until the game's closing moments. keith earls with a second try, squeezing in at the corner. the frantic finished followed, but edinburgh's moment had gone. munster through to the semifinals. for scotland's other hope, glasgow arguably an even tougher task. a visit to the two—time champions saracens. the english side were flawless, seven tries. now munster await. english side were flawless, seven tries. now munsterawait. in english side were flawless, seven tries. now munster await. in dublin, quite extraordinary contest. lei nster quite extraordinary contest. leinster are the reigning european
10:14 pm
champions, but here ulster caught them off—guard in the opening moments. the head of the break, a lead they looked to extended when jacob stockdale crossed the line, but as their fans celebrated, video replays showed the ball was dropped. no try. a calamitous, costly error compounded as adam byrne put lei nster compounded as adam byrne put leinster in front. a thrilling contest that swung one way and when the other. luke marshall levelling the other. luke marshall levelling the scores, only to see a hobbling ross byrne break their hearts. ulster, like edinburgh and glasgow, left to reflect on what might have been. adam wild, bbc news. it was an important day in the premier league, match of the day follows the news, but i'm going to give you the results now. huddersfield town have been relegated. the bottom side's 2—0 defeat at crystal palace means they equal the record for the earliest relegation from the premier league. at the other end of the table, manchester city are back on top after a stylish 2—0 win at fulham. city are now one point ahead of liverpool, who play tottenham hotspur tomorrow.
10:15 pm
elsewhere there were vital wins for southampton and burnley. leicester's resurgence under brendan rodgers continues. 0le gunnar solksjaer celebrated his first game as manchester united's permanent manager with victory over watford. and everton won at west ham. hearts are guaranteed a top six finish in the scottish premiership after beating aberdeen. kilmarnock thumped hamilton to move up to third. motherwell beat stjohnstone. and st mirren are off the bottom of the table after victory over dundee. ferrari's young driver charles leclarc is making a name for himself at the bahrain grand prix. the 21—year—old took his first f1 pole in only his second race for ferrari, out—pacing not only his team mate, sebastien vettel, but also the reigning world champion lewis hamilton. tiger woods has beaten rory mcilroy to a place in the quarterfinals of the world golf matchplay.
10:16 pm
in their first ever matchplay meeting, the three time champion woods, held his nerve in texas, while mcilroy‘s putting fell apart. that's it from me but there's much more on the bbc sport website including how a british heavyweight boxing fight ending in disqualification for biting. back to you, kate. and before we go, landmarks around the world have turned off their lights for 60 minutes this evening to mark this year's earth hour. world famous attractions in greece, france, russia, germany and spain and here in the uk were all plunged into darkness. the event has been organised by the environmental group wwf, and aims to raise awareness of climate change and other man—made threats to the planet. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. that's all from me. goodnight.
10:17 pm
hello, it isn't start to much england and wales. —— a decent start. it was warm and that spring sunshine. temperatures reached 20 celsius in kew in london, warmest the place in the country. change as we had and descended. this temperatures dropping by nine celsius. the cooler weather is brought about by this cold front that has already been pushing southwards. as we go through this evening and overnight, that weather front is going to continue to push southwards. so cloud and a little bit of rain working into parts of wales, the midlands, east anglia, maybe the south—east of england towards the end of the night. the cloud stopping things from getting too cold for most of england and wales,
10:18 pm
but for northern england, northern ireland and scotland, cold enough for some frost, and that frost will be widespread in scotland. temperatures down to —3, —4 celsius. and a reminder that, overnight, those clocks go forward, meaning, for most of us, it's an hour less in bed unless you're a mum, in which case you've got the lie—in card for sunday. for sunday, there's going to be a lot more cloud around across england and wales and a chilly easterly wind as well, really knocking those temperatures down — highs of 11 celsius in london. probably scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england having the best of the day's sunshine. looking at highs of 7—10 celsius, so feeling a little on the chilly side here. and through sunday night, with those clearing skies again, it will be another cold one with a widespread frost. a cold start to the day on monday but a lot of dry weather for east scotland, most of england and wales with some decent sunshine after that actually start and, with the winds coming in more from a southerly direction, temperatures lifting a little bit across southern parts of england and wales but, at the same time, wet weather gets into northern ireland and western scotland through monday afternoon. that rain is tied in with another cold front. here it is. and that will push eastwards across the uk during tuesday
10:19 pm
and this cold front will really hammer the temperatures. we start to get cold north—westerly winds feeding in so, as the rain clears, there'll be some sunshine, but plenty of showers for north—western areas of the uk. those showers are wintry over the hills, and it will feel really cold across north—western areas with temperatures just 6—7dc. that's your latest weather. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. the prime minister looks for ways to bring her eu withdrawal agreement back to the commons for a fourth time. i think what we have to do is to make sure that we deliver on the will of the people at the referendum. we have to keep trying, that is what people voted for. put it at the end ofjanuary and lost by the largest ever majority the government was defeated in parliamentary history,
