when people came to westminster taken if mps are to avoid giving interprets them, that law needs rewriting and that is something demanding decisions. which we also have to face. with no deal by the new deadline of nevertheless, the electoral commission give us all a final say! april the 12th. this morning was the is trusted by many people. the government suffered another at the time of their original defeat and now waits judgment, vote leave said to make its next move. prime minister seeking divine it was wholly inaccurate and contains false accusations that intervention to break the deadlock. do not stand up to scrutiny. tomorrow mps will try again she is likely to resurrect her do you stand by that statement? to agree on an alternative defeat a deal this week in the hope i felt that... to the prime minister's deal. that mps prefer it to the and one cabinet minister has made alternatives. but if it fails again, clear the government must listen. our biggest problem in the end was that we destroyed all our data, this member of the cabinet wasn't if parliament is voting and therefore some of the evidential overwhelmingly against leaving against negotiating a closer basis which people the european union without a deal were asking for... but is voting in favour of a softer relationship with the eu. if all i can tell you, andrew, is that every stage, brexit then i don't think parliament is voting overwhelmingly in terms of the processes, it is sustainable to say, against leaving the european union we did our level best to being well, we will ignore parliament's without a deal, but is voting in in compliance with the rules. position and therefore, leave without a deal. if they were interpreted afterwards in a way which was different favour of a softer brexit, i don't from the advice we got at that time, then so be it. think it's sustainable to say, well, i don't think that is the regulators always a sustainable position. have the final word. you destroyed the data. time for reflection we'll ignore parliament because my position and therefore leave without at church this morning. a deal. tomorrow mps will debate the electoral commission were very the prime minister knows a customs upset that you did not cooperate more clearly with them at the time. union with the eu would be a huge alternatives to theresa may's deal shift and a promise broken. do you understand why many people including a closer economic in this country on the other side relationship with the eu such as a it is still her ambition, we are of the argument feel that this told, to get her deal through. referendum in 2016 was corrupted customs union, or single market this weekend she will be and cannot be trusted, weighing up when, if, membership. but leaving with no deal because of the way that to put it to a fourth vote leave behave? could also be an option as well as putting any deal to any referendum. well, the electoral commission never and final vote. sought any evidence from the people from the vote leave campaign.

too late, say labour but let me say something else... who want to break the deadlock and that is the option favoured by they say they did. with a general election. labour because my deputy leader. we no, they didn't. but what would be their promise need to move beyond brexit and it on another public vote? we offered more evidence. seems to me the only way we can do obviously i don't write labour's manifesto. i am one vote around that now is with a people's vote, but, andrew, if this was based — the table but it seems to me, inconceivable that if there that now is with a people's vote, thatis which people are now saying — was a general election tomorrow that now is with a people's vote, that is the solution, not an option. and we hope there will be, to raise faces tough choices this on a lie, that people didn't know we have been calling for one week, there is no question of her what they were voting for, for months that a people's vote that they were somehow unaware will be in that manifesto. of what this vote was, he knows what it is like to fight well, opinions would have changed. and lose an election, cancelling brexit, revoking article opinions have not changed, 50, but some options favoured by and today warned that's the last thing his party mps, a customs union for example, or the country needs. but as another senior conservative opinions have hardened, said the tories were planning also run counter to the conservative sensibly and pragmatically, this former prime minister said ma nifesto. the parties coming together also run counter to the conservative manifesto. if she goes along with thing which we still haven't done that she could lose some of her top is look at what "remain" to govern may be the only way out. tea m that she could lose some of her top team around the cabinet table. she in the context of the rest of the european union would mean. could take a different option and in the interests of the nation, call a general election. senior hello there. we may have stepped forward in the interest of decisions into spring with the clock being taken, and the interest change, but it will — of ending the chaos we have now, conservatives have said pragmatic for many of us — feel more and that could continue, preparations around a way for a like winter next week. we must have a government that has it was a much chillier a working majority and that is possible election but that prospect start, as you can see has horrified many in the party and the only reason for a time in gloucestershire anyway today. limited unity government. but this cloud is melting the former occupant of number ten.|j away in the south. the sun certainly out further north. more sunshine than we had think a general election will solve yesterday, as you can see nothing at this moment. so what is on the earlier satellite picture. parliament and the government have and with lighter winds, long been divided about the best way his solution? in the interests of it has felt much more pleasant in the north. to deliver brexit and now but the clouds been a little with a new deadline looming,

pressure is building ending the chaos we have now, we stubborn to clear in the south. on the prime minister and time it is tending to melt away, and her options are running out. must have a government that has a working majority, and that is the so we will see some late sunshine only reason for a time—limited unity for most of us and it will feel really quite pleasant, i think, jonathan blake, bbc in the north despite temperatures have been a little down government. so, a cross-party on what they have been recently. news, westminster. however, to add insult government. so, a cross-party government to unite a sometimes very to injury in the south, not only are the temperatures down cross country. not likely, but these jonathan came back from westminster today but we've got a bracing days, normal political rules don't easterly wind to contend with. a little earlier and joined me in but, again, that is going the studio to assess the challenges apply. to be a fading feature. the rules on police stop—and—search facing theresa may and becoming powers in england and wales for the rest of mothering sunday, are being relaxed to try to stop a little bit of late sunshine. weak. there is a divide in cabinet, the rise in knife crime. and then overnight, we pay for that as we know, and have reported more police officers, sunshine under the starry skies at less senior ranks, because temperatures fall for some time about the best way will now be able to authorise to frost levels. forward for brexit and fairly widely, as you can see what it should mean. the tactic in several areas across the mainland. the conservatives in their manifesto where knife crime is high. even towns and cities will get close to freezing. at the last election promised campaigners have questioned but after the early frost to deliver brexit by taking the uk for northern ireland the effectiveness of stop—and—search with the increase of cloud and out of the single market and out some showers, temperatures and described the move will tend to lift, of the customs union, as "disappointing and regressive". and that's the change, really, as we go and the prime minister has our home affairs correspondent through the coming week. the high—pressure that's been with us for so long repeatedly said that to do is relinquishing its grip, anything different would be dominic casciani has the details. allowing the atlantic a betrayal of that promise. weather systems to come in, which mean that we'll see some showers initially across northern another knife off the streets, found ireland into western scotland. they'll push their way gradually but there are those in government who believe that sort of brexit ina stop another knife off the streets, found in a stop and search in north sorts across the rest of scotland into northwest england later. where you keep a relatively close london. some 40 fatal stabbing so economic relationship and you apply far this year. now police in the the same import and export tariffs but for most, a sparkling start to goods coming in and out most affected areas are being given despite being chilly with that frost of the eu, which is what being and we should keep the sunshine. in a customs union would mean, a search power band when theresa may and with lighter winds

is the best course of action. was home secretary. the whole gamut than today in the south, it is also what labour advocate it won't feel quite so chilly. but we do have quite a significant as part of their vision for brexit. band of rain to come in later. as we have seen, it is something notjust because it's significant which could perhaps has almost rain, but behind it, recognise that stopping church is a the really cold air comes in. commanded a majority in the house useful power. we still wanted to be you can trace its origins right of commons, it might this time the way back from the arctic, at the second time of asking targeted but with these increased and that will push right power we all agree, including the in these indicative of votes. across the uk by the end of tuesday. this is in tomorrow's prime minister, this is exactly is so we've started april anyway needed to help fight the rise in session of parliament? on monday, and it will be a very the votes are to going to happen serious violence. knife crime fell showery picture by the time we get tomorrow in the house of commons. to tuesday behind this weather but it is controversial after 2011 but it has been rising front as it clears away. and there are those that will not there's that cold air to come south. for almost five years. the police's like it because it would restrict for the uk doing independent trade use of stop and search plunged over so these indicate the chance of some deals with other countries around wintriness in those showers, the world even though it is outside the last decade from 1.4 million over the hills in particular. of the european union. times a year to less than 300,000. some hail and thunder at lower levels. gusty winds and temperatures that fall after conservatives said struggling to get to double figures. so, well below where they should be there is an issue for this time of year. about what we meant the tactic was failing by wrongly in the referendum about being out so, again, overnight frost will be targeting young black men. the main a risk through the coming week. of the european union. stop and search power requires and with that low—pressure police to have a reasonable staying put and this cold flow suspicion someone is carrying a down from the arctic, do you mean out of the european yes, it is going to be a pretty cold union or out of every aspect in our weapon. they could use it if this week compared with what we've had. engagement with europe in terms of knife detector raised and alert. night—time frost, wintry air, especially over the hills formal mechanisms, and that would be and plenty of april showers. another formal mechanism. today's changes mean police inspectors rather than the seniors can authorise anyone to be searched it would and that is the problem in an area where they believe politicians have faced, violence may, rather than well, a it was a binary choice, it was in or out. car. police hope the return of this people did not vote for a certain

strategy will help them respond more type of brexit and did not vote necessarily to leave the customs quickly. while there is no proof of union and single market, and it is down to government a direct link between the rise in and parliament to decide what leaving the european union means and that is why we have faced knife crime and the use of stop and difficult decisions. search, police officers deter —— the government has felt it has been might believe it deters people from trying to stop the process carrying blades. but critics say it from grinding to a halt. parliament has felt paralysed is still intrusive and any increased because everyone wants to do it in a different way. david gauke acknowledged use will be highly controversial. in the interview earlier on, too many of my experiences have been you heard a clip in the report, we cannot get our first choice in parliament so we have to look very unpleasant, which leads into a at another way which may look at doing things we lot of tension between police and promised we wouldn't. young people to the point where you whether theresa may is willing to do have young innocent civilians running away from police just to avoid being stopped and searched. that herself is a different matter. police chiefs say they are listening to concerns about how they use their is it still your impression that the government wants to try once more for theresa may's deal powers. tomorrow the prime minister or at least the prime minister hosts a summit to hear from officers wants to try once more? i think she would but who could know themselves about how to reverse the deadly violence. what is theresa may's mind the founder of facebook, mark zuckerberg, says he wants and what she is being advised. governments to play a more active role in policing internet content. he says the responsibility is too great for companies we know there are different opinions like his to tackle alone. in downing street about the best

course of action from here on. let's speak to our business correspondent rob young. it remains, we are told, rob, why is he saying this? the ambition of the prime minister to get a deal through parliament there's been growing concern still after those three about what goes on online — defeats and number ten and on the world's biggest social were spinning on friday votes were going in the right direction media platform in particular. but it is still a huge to get ahead of any new rules, task and tall order. facebook‘s founder, mark zuckerberg, is calling for new internet regulations to deal with some of the issues it's been that is what you have got government ministers and others saying criticised for mishandling — if we tweak things and take the idea harmful content, the integrity of a customs union that parliament can get behind and tack that of online material related onto the political declaration of the deal that looks at our future to elections, privacy, relationship at the eu, maybe that would fly. and data portability. but there would be a lot of conservatives who would not facebook says it has to decide what online material may be harmful want to swallow that. and argues it shouldn't have to take jonathan blake there. such important decisions. new stop and search powers are being given to police in england and wales to try and tackle rising knife crime. it says it would like to see some the home secretary sajid javid is making it easierfor officers global regulator to deal with that. to intervene where they think serious violence may occur. but critics say it's when it comes to our privacy, intrusive and could increase internet companies have huge amounts tensions between the police of information on all of us. and local communities. our home affairs correspondent, facebook says it wants global rules danny shaw reports. to protect our data,

another knife off the streets. complete with sanctions when they make mistakes. this three—and—a—half inch blade are these rules was found when a young man likely to be adopted? was stopped and searched in north so with or without this intervention, new internet london. regulations are coming. now police in the seven areas worst there's been growing criticism affected by knife crime will be able of some online behaviour. to carry out more searches because the government to critics of the tech giants, is relaxing rules brought facebook‘s suggested reforms in when theresa may was home don't go far enough. secretary. some want facebook to be broken up. the government here is preparing to outline its plans for new rules soon. the whole government agree that stop and search is a vital power. we still of course want it to be targeted and focused there've been calls and intelligence—led, for a new internet regulator that which it will be, but with these would be able to impose big fines new powers and increased powers, we all agree, including the prime minister, this is exactly on web firms that break the rules. what is needed to help fight the rise in serious violence. the social media giants could also be given a legal "duty of care" towards their users. so new internet rules may well end under the changes, police will be able to search anyone in areas up being much tougher than those outlined by the facebook boss. where they believe serious violence may occur. thank you. police inspectors can the bbc has learned that more approve the powers rather than 50 british fighters than more senior officers. police say stop and search with the islamic state group have acts as a deterrent, been captured in syria helping to prevent violence and keep in the last three months. weapons off the streets one of those men, a former police but it is an intrusive tactic cadet from west london spent five

and highly controversial. years with the extremists. too many of my experiences our middle east correspondent quentin somerville has been speaking and stories i've heard have exclusively to hamza parvez been very unpleasant, who was captured in which leads to building a lot the last is stronghold of tension between the police and young people to the point of baghouz in eastern syria. where you have young, innocent civilians running away from police just to avoid the long line of surrender of the islamic state group stretched far further than anyone expected. being stopped and searched. among these men, the bbc has learned but for the vast bulk of knife searches police conduct, as many as 50 british fighters have they need reasonable suspicion that been captured in the caliphate's someone is carrying a weapon danny shaw, bbc news. final three months. hamza parvez is one of them, and one of is's earliest british recruits. a lot of the westerners i spoke to nathaniel pete who spoke kept distances from one another, because of... to the safety box programme. fish one of the primary fears programme operates across london and elsewhere in the uk. he said was targeted drone strikes. although stopping search can be so, people wouldn't really effective when applied in a targeted want to be associated with one another, just in case... way, to overuse it can be dangerous. we are seeing more incidents of because we didn't actually have a list of who was young people using weapons. it seems on the drone list or not, so, we'd really be scared of, this guy might be and this guy might be, very reactive. stopping search is a so i would just keep to myself. very reactive. stopping search is a but this is an extraordinary thing,

very effective tool when it is evidence—based. if you've got because for anybody else, intelligence and officers that have if you realised you were on a drone hit list, maybe you might actually a very good conversion rate, for start questioning what the hell example stopping i7 enough at 17 you were doing in raqqa they got 15, and then if you are and why you were being a member of islamic state. getting regular officers who are now didn't you think that was a time given this power to randomly search to leave the group? anyone from within a particular yeah, of course, there was many group or demographic, speaking in times when i thought, "time to pack up and leave." london context, that might be a and there was many times i did try to pack up and leave... black group, and you're talking yes, but you did join about maybe black young people which that group willingly. the horror for most people come from a poor environment. with is that they had no choice over it. syrians, iraqis, libyans, yazidis, somebody that doesn't have a strong who were all either displaced, conversion rate, which is not equipped to understand cultural who were raped, who were murdered by islamic state... norms or have a level of personal you willinglyjoined that group. they had no choice. cultural bias towards particular it wasn't. .. group, that can become dangerous. if you were to ask me, cultural bias towards particular group, that can become dangerouslj suppose the difficulty now is would you willingly go and join a group which consists of one, compared to now as to where we were two, three and four... before the stop and search powers one, two, three and four being genocide, rape, where introduced under theresa may, we had a higher level of the front enslavement, murder? line police with presumably more mm—hm. daily contact between particular anyone in their right mind officers and places. that is right. would have never, ever, you are worried that that effective ever gone over tojoin something of that... so, you weren't in your offices has been parachuted into an right mind, then? i wasn't going to join something... area where there has been a state of

knife attacks, and she would put it i didn't know there was something randomly, they still seem to be waiting for me like that. intelligence based but nonetheless so, most of the foreign fighters, using it where they have not when they do step in and when you do necessarily expert suspicion, but are concerned there might be a talk to them, the first thing problem and that could cause a they'll say to you is hostile reaction which makes the that we would have never, ever come if we had known problem worse? absolutely. if you've the realities of isis. got young people which i stopped, the tabloids called him hungry hamza. here he is on the left, harassed, you are talking about a 30 kilograms heavier. he complained on social media young person being stopped and that about missing british food, young person being stopped and that young person being stopped and that young person may be intimidated by and then almost starved in is's the police, it may have a knock on last stand in baghouz. effect on the family, brothers, only now, in defeat, sisters, the school they attend and does he condemn the group he served for five years. that then causes a community issue. where you have not officers that are because many kids, they did trying to build a trust, it doesn't pass away in baghouz, do anything to trust but it destroys many kids passed away from severe malnutrition. it. did we overreact perhaps the do you blame the west for that? other way when theresa may set the powers are being used too much? i no, i blame islamic state for it. was looking at the figures. this is 100%. because they did have food in 2014? that's right. by the time and they did have medicine, this was introduced, i think the two and they did have enough to provide. but they didn't. contiguous —— continuous years, for he grew up in a privileged west your figures 2015—16 there have been london home to pakistani parents.

he has now been stripped of his british citizenship. 2500 your figures 2015—16 there have been 250 0 sto ps your figures 2015—16 there have been 2500 stops in england and wales young british men brought ruin here. under this power. by the following year, it had fallen to 631. i wonder they turned their backs on theirfamilies, their friends and their country. if they had gone to much the other now they are paying the price. way. they said ok, we can't use it for most, there is no way back. because it is too sensitive, so perhaps they have not used it in quentin sommerville, bbc news, opportunities where it should have north—eastern syria. been used. if not to look deeper beneath that and look at the link between stop and search and violent a comedian in ukraine, who's made his name playing crime. has there been a direct link, the president in a satirical tv show, is favourite to take on the role for real. an evidential link, to the reduction volodymyr zelenskiy is expected of violent crime linked to stopping to beat the incumbent president, sex? the answer is no. you cannot petro poroshenko, in the first round of voting, which pinpoint it directly to stop and is taking place today. search. this goes back again, this jonah fisher reports. isa search. this goes back again, this is a backward movement. they have had this before. might it not be a meet volodymyr zelenskiy. he's a comedian, a candidate confidence building measure albeit a temporary one, in a sense of saying and a favourite to become ukraine's next president. it isa temporary one, in a sense of saying it is a reaction to such a terrible problem and people don't know what as always, he was laughing to do about it and the community more generally wants reassurance? as he arrived to cast his vote. and the idea that police can stop mr zelenskiy has no political experience and has waged people gives that reassurance. a highly unusual campaign.

and the idea that police can stop people gives that reassurancem and the idea that police can stop people gives that reassurance. it is he has held no rallies, not a level of reassurance. it is avoided debates, and appears to have really about having proactive very few political ideas. solutions, evidence—based practise solutions. talking about the public very funny, yes. a few weeks ago, i caught health model, we have huge examples. up with mr zelenskiy. a new york when they reduced stopping sex, the violent crime wind he talked about something down. he pushed towards community he does know lots about. benny hill. development, the push towards benny hill? providing provisions for young yes, he's more understandable people, this is a social issue. it than monty python. is not necessarily a tool to take a for me, monty python is better, i'm sorry. mr zelenskiy‘s pitch knife out of a young person packing for the presidency, ican. knife out of a young person packing i can. will that stop them? no. it and his appeal to ukrainians, isa i can. will that stop them? no. it is based in part... is a mindset change that they need because if you can change the ..on his role in a television series mindset thing you can stop them effectively from using the weapon. where he plays an ordinary man if you take a knife from their hand, who becomes president, they still make pick up a pen, a called vasiliy goloborodko. sharp and blunt object. you have to think of the social issues and get deeper beneath that. finally, when you are looking at ways to try and you do realise that being a president in real life is very tackle this on a focused level you different from what you are already, are dealing with, what does work? which is a tv president? yes. providing them with proper translation: i am different from my opportunities. that means move to character, vasiliy goloborodko. implement. for those who fall below but our moral values are the same.

a national helpline for the children of alcoholic parents, according to figures seen by the bbc. the husband of a british—iranian woman who is currently in prison in iran has delivered a mother's day card to her on the steps of the iranian embassy, as part of his campaign for her release. nazanin zaghari ratcliffe was jailed for five years in 2016 on spying charges which she denies. with more, here's our correspondent sangita myska. almost three years ago, nazinin zaghari—ratcliffe was stopped by iranian police at tehran airport. she was about to fly home with her child but was instead arrested and accused of spying. seen here with her daughter gabriella, just before being jailed for five years, the british government and herfamily have repeatedly called for her release.

today, on mother's day, her husband, who has tirelessly campaigned on behalf of his wife, delivered a card and dozens of flowers to the iranian embassy. it's a message, this is the third mother's day that nazinin is a way. this year we are back in front of the iranian embassy, the message is flowers, it's a soft one. the reason for flowers is that is what prisoners are given when they are released, it's mother's day and hopefully that she will be home soon. the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt was in iran late last year to push for her release. he recently took the unusual step of granting nazinin diplomatic protection in the hope that iranians would be compelled to release her. yet 40—year—old nazinin remains injail. separated from her daughter for yet another year. there's been a sharp rise in the number of adults calling a national helpline for the children

of alcoholic parents, according to figures seen by the bbc. in 2013 the majority of calls to the national association of children of alcoholics were from children but now more than 80% of calls are from people over the age of 18. the department of health said it was investing £6 million to tackle the issue. adrian goldberg from, bbc radio 5live investigates, has more details... these figures come from the national association of children of alcoholics. back in 2013, they tell us that the majority of the calls that they have received seeking help and support from their helpline, the majority of those calls were from children. but they did at that time have around 6500 calls a year from adults. anybody over the age of 18. that 6500 figure has rocketed between 2013 and 2018, to the point where last year they had 23,000 calls from people over the age of 18. that now makes up around 81%

of their caseload at their helpline. a really significant increase in the number of adults contacting that helpline for support. and assistance. do we know why there has been such a big rise? what are the theories behind that? it's very interesting. i think around 2015 when you had high—profile figures like the labour mp liam byrne, talking as an adult about his experiences having been a child of an alcoholic and finally overcoming what he perceived to be the same and the stigma coming forward to talk about that, that has prompted a lot of other adults to come forward and say that they too had problems like this as a child, with a parent who would turn to drinking. amelia, who grew up with an alcoholic father, joined us earlier. she sought help after his death two years ago. she's been speaking to my colleague ben brown. i was about five when my dad's alcoholism took over, so that was a lot of,

you know, drunken pick—ups from school, things like that. it was really difficult but you grow up and you realise as you get older that that is not normal, it is not ok. and what were the symptoms of his alcoholism? he used to get pretty angry? yeah, very aggressive. a lot of drunkenly passing out. luckily i am the youngest of four. i had older siblings who were able to help me deal with that. it was a lot of really difficult times, and unfortunately, my dad passed away from alcoholism about three years ago now. how old were you then, and what were your feelings then when he died? i was 21. i was at university. to be perfectly honest,

ifelt this massive relief, because when you have an alcoholic parent from a really young age, you are grieving for that person from when they become an alcoholic, you lose your parent anyway. when that person actually dies, ifelt this horrible relief, and then a lot of shame associated with feeling that relief as well. at the time, when you were a child and he was still alive and an alcoholic, did you try to talk to people about it, did you try to get help? not really. i had a good family, a good support system. we had our mam and my siblings and a big extended family and we used to talk about it a lot within the family but it was not something i sought help for externally until i became an adult. do you think that it is important that children who have alcoholic parents do try to get help? definitely.

when i was younger, we did not have the internet the way that we do now. we were not aware of those things as much, so charities like the national association for children of alcoholics, the rise of the internet and social media, it brings awareness of those things and means children can contact those places if they need to. if you, or someone you know has been affected by any of the issues raised, you can find details of where you can find support at www. bbc.co.uk/actionline, or call 0800 — 066 — 066. lines are open 24 hours a day with recorded information and calls are free of charge. ukrainians are voting in the first round of a presidential election. the frontrunner to win is a television comedian — volodymyr zelensky — who is expected to beat the incumbent president, petro poroshenko.

it's ukraine's first presidential election since russia seized part of its territory in 2014. the main candidates are all largely pro—european. slovakia has elected its first female head of state. the anti—corruption campaigner zuzana chaputova won around 58% of the vote in a run—off against the governing party's marosh shefchovich. ms chaputova is a prominent environmental lawyer but has almost no previous political experience. she ran as an outsider for the liberal progressive slovakia party, framing the election as a struggle between good and evil. following the livestreaming of a terror attack in new zealand two weeks ago, the debate over who should regulate social networking sites, is back in the spotlight. facebook boss mark zuckerberg has called for more government regulation on the internet, and the australian government has announced plans for new laws which put more accountability

on the social networking sites. sophia tran—thomson has this report. he founded the biggest social network in the world. a role that comes with a serious social responsibility. now mark zuckerberg says it is time regulators and governments play a more active role in controlling internet content. in an open letter, he has called for regulation of what he describes as harmful content online, saying private firms can't do it alone. he says there should be new rules relating to political advertising and the creation of common standards. there should be effective privacy and data protection for all users with countries adopting a common framework. and he has called for data portability, meaning people should be able to move data from one service to another. it comes as facebook faces questions over its role in the cambridge analytica scandal about data misuse during election campaigns and two weeks after a gunman used facebook to livestream his attack on a mosque in new zealand.

but mark zuckerberg says those at the top need to step up. some governments say it is the social media giants who are responsible. on saturday, australia's prime minister announced plans to introduce laws which could see the networking sites fined and executives sent to prison if they fail to quickly remove violent material from their platforms. the social media laws we will be introducing are about calling out the social media companies on their responsibilities. they have a responsibility when they put these platforms into public use to make sure they are safe and that they cannot be weaponised by terrorists. the debate over who is responsible for regulation is farfrom over, as is the question of how to monitor social media content globally and to what level. catherine miller is director of policy at doteveryone — an independent think tank that champions responsible technology, and asked her what she made of mr zuckerberg's remarks. it is not the first time

mark zuckerberg has called for regulation, when he faced questioning in congress last year he said we need regulation but the right regulation, and i suppose this article is an indication of what facebook thinks the right regulation is. it is focusing on content moderation, on the integrity of elections, on privacy and on data portability. on the integrity of elections that has been raised by what happened in the united states, concerns there may have been attempts to try and influence the online coverage and advertisements people received during our election. presumably that is not hugely contentious but there is a bit about moderating content. for a lot of internet users that is contentious and has proved for facebook especially to be highly controversial, not least what happened with the live streaming of the terrible massacre in christchurch. this article deals in response to that moment and the sense of unbelievable outrage

you could have someone streaming a mass murderfor over a quarter of an hour without any intervention at all. the interesting thing with this is that it may seem incredible there is no regulation of this in the first place and that this is news worthy to be asking governments to regulate, but you have to remember that companies like facebook come from the west coast of the united states where freedom of speech is a constitutional right. so nobody even raises concern about it because it is essential to the character of the american system? absolutely, but you see in the united kingdom it is not an absolute right and you see the problems of taking this absolutist approach to freedom of speech. what occurs if you have people streaming a mass murder? that was catherine miller.

firefighters have rescued more than 650 people from locked toilets since 2016. london fire brigade urged members of the public to "use common sense" before dialling 999 after receiving 659 calls from people locked in loos. it said firefighters also had to rescue a child with their head wedged in a potty, a woman stuck up a tree and a pigeon trapped inside a chimney. as well as the "unusual" calls, the brigade had more than 30,000 malicious hoax calls in the last five years. it's been described as uber, but for haircuts. a new london barber service is offering male grooming on the go. dougal shaw has more. this may look like an ordinary van on an ordinary street but there's something a bit different going on here. this is actually a mobile barbershop. it's a sight londoners might have to get used to if one young entrepreneur has his way. so when we originally created

the idea, we modelled the customer model, we modelled the experience around someone like me, young, black male. he's been running his business for a year now from these offices in brixton, south london. more than 17,000 people have downloaded the app used to book the barber vans. he has a fleet of three which are fully booked, working morning to night. the idea behind the service is that a new generation of young black men doesn't have time to be waiting around in barber shops anymore. even though for many years they were an important social hub for the black community. and remain so. i'm 23, i'm managing properties and i work part—time. so i don't have time to go to a barbershop and wait for my turn. i can communicate him like a client rather than having the whole, like, background noise and everyone debating and everyone screaming. the team say that they were surprised by the demand for the service in the commercial areas of central london where a new breed of successful black professional can't find

the kind of barbershops they want. the service has also attracted white and asian clients as well. and whoever uses the service, parking is always a consideration. but not everyone is convinced that the traditional barbershop has had its day. it's for socialisation and entertaining people around the community. when they all want to have fun, they come to the barbershop. there's a lot ofjokes that is going on in the barbershop. so we keep the place entertained. dougal shaw, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. hello there. we may have stepped forward into spring with the clock change, but it will — for many of us — feel more like winter next week. it was a much chillier start, as you can see in gloucestershire anyway today. but this cloud is melting away in the south. the sun certainly out further north. more sunshine than we had yesterday, as you can see on the earlier satellite picture. and with lighter winds,

it has felt much more pleasant in the north. but the clouds been a little stubborn to clear in the south. it is tending to melt away, so we will see some late sunshine for most of us and it will feel really quite pleasant, i think, in the north despite temperatures have been a little down on what they have been recently. however, to add insult to injury in the south, not only are the temperatures down today but we've got a bracing easterly wind to contend with. but, again, that is going to be a fading feature. for the rest of mothering sunday, a little bit of late sunshine. and then overnight, we pay for that sunshine under the starry skies because temperatures fall to frost levels. fairly widely, as you can see across the mainland. even towns and cities will get close to freezing. but after the early frost for northern ireland with the increase of cloud and some showers, temperatures will tend to lift, and that's the change, really, as we go for the coming weeks. the high—pressure that's been with us for so long is relinquishing its grip, allowing the atlantic weather systems to come in, which mean that we'll see some showers initially across northern ireland into western scotland. they'll push their way gradually sorts across the rest of scotland into northwest england later. but for most, a sparkling start despite being chilly with that frost and we should keep the sunshine.

and with lighter winds than today in the south, it won't feel quite so chilly. but we do have quite a significant band of rain to come in later. notjust because it's significant rain, but behind it, the really cold air comes in. you can trace its origins right the way back from the arctic, and that will push right across the uk by the end of tuesday. so we've started april anyway on monday, and it will be a very showery picture by the time we get to tuesday behind this weather front as it clears away. there's that cold air to come south. so these indicate the chance of some wintriness in those showers, over the hills in particular. some hail and thunder at lower levels. gusty winds and temperatures struggling to get to double figures. so, well below where they should be for this time of year. so, again, overnight frost will be a risk through the coming week. and with that low—pressure staying put and this cold flow down from the arctic, yes, it is going to be a pretty cold week compared with what we've had. night—time frost, wintry air, especially over the hills and plenty of april showers.
