jonathan blake has been looking at the statement in detail and he joins me now. it does not look like anything new but it is the tone which is interesting. yes, nothing new in terms of the substance but it isa new in terms of the substance but it is a timely warning, as you say, to some conservative mps and mps across the house that the options are to either back a deal she is hoping to reach with the labour party or to allow a long extension to the brexit process and possibly even a remain in the eu long—term. she begins by saying that delivering brexit has been her priority. she wanted to do with the deals she negotiated. she has been left with no choice but to reach out across parliament. she attem pts reach out across parliament. she atte m pts to reach out across parliament. she attempts to reassure proponents of

brexit in her party, perhaps nervous or angry that the government is even talking to labour, but in fact both parties want to enter free movement, they want to leave with a good deal, and they want to protect jobs. they want to leave with a good deal, and they want to protectjobs. the prime minister says about is the basis for a compromise. she wants the longer this takes the greater the longer this takes the greater the risk of the uk never leaving at all. it would mean brexit slipping through ourfingers all. it would mean brexit slipping through our fingers and she will not stand for that. how she proposes to achieve it is unclear at this point because of the talks with labour, after three days. have not amounted to much. there is something of a stand—off. the dialogue is open but no formal meetings scheduled. labour seemed to be waiting for the government to make a move. the government to make a move. the

government staying tightlipped about exactly what it is willing to offer, and speculations that it is prepared to allow parliament of eight to any changes to a deal, seen as a way of reassuring people in the tory and labour party that a new leader can come in and whip up this agreement and start something new. what is the brexit schedule for the coming days? the one firm appointment is on wednesday, the summit of eu leaders in brussels where the heads of governments from the 27 eu states will consider the extension to the process. we know she has asked for an extension to the end ofjune with the possibility of a get out close ifa the possibility of a get out close if a deal is reached by parliament beforehand so that the uk will not have to take part in european elections. but there are differences of opinion among the european

states. donald tusk has said that a year—long extension would be more appropriate with a potential get out clause. theresa may will be going to brussels for that summit on wednesday. we could, before then, cvs and talks with the labour party reach an agreement —— see these talks. it is all up in the air, i'm afraid. thank you for that update. more on that story and that statement on the bbc website. the defence secretary has ordered an investigation in the military, after it emerged that six soldiers were arrested following an allegation of sexual assault. it's claimed a teenage female recruit was assaulted by male colleagues. the head of the army, general sir mark carleton—smith, said the allegations were being taken very seriously. simonjones reports. "a damaging week for the army",

in the words of its leader, general sir mark carleton—smith, responding to allegations of a sexual assault by troops. according to the sun newspaper, a female soldier is understood to have told her bosses she woke up to find a group of men standing over her. they reportedly had been drinking. it is said she screamed and they ran off. six men, who are members of an army sports club, have been arrested. the chief of the general staff, in a message to his troops, said: the defence secretary gavin williamson wrote on twitter:

that review will also look at this footage. in an unrelated incident, soldiers in afghanistan filmed apparently using an image of the labour leaderjeremy corbyn for target practice, condemned by the mod as totally u na cce pta ble. it is unusual for military top brass to make their concerns about personnel public. but the mod feels it needs to send a message, notjust to serving soldiers, but to the wider community, too, that bad behaviour in the army won't be tolerated. simon jones, bbc news. demonstrators have reached the national army headquarters in the capital khartoum for the first time, calling for the military to join them in theircampaign against omar al—bashir, who has ruled for over 30 years. they have reached the national army quarters for the first time, and tear gas was fired at the protesters

and several arrests were made. our africa editor, fergal keane, has this report. the opposition wanted the biggest demonstration yet and it looks as if they have achieved it. tens of thousands made their way in peace to the heart of the regime in power. they chanted appeals for the soldiers tojoin them. they chanted appeals for the soldiers to join them. as before, women to the forefront. in a movement led by the country ‘s professional classes, turning against the president in vast numbers. omar al—bashir has been president since 1989 after a coup. he isa president since 1989 after a coup. he is a fugitive from international justice, accused of genocide in darfurfor. justice, accused of genocide in darfur for. these are the biggest challenge yet to his rule. some tear gas was fired, arrests made but the sheer size of the demonstration

would have made president omar al—bashir nervous about what the days ahead hold. tonight, this extraordinary scene, thousands sitting in outside military headquarters, with many saying they will keep protesting until omar al—bashir it goes. our africa editor, fergal keane, reporting. widespread condemnation against libya. both the united nations security council and the g—seven group of countries have criticised the attempt by the libyan national army to take control of the country's capital, from the internationally—recognised unity government. from the internationally—recognised unity government. un troops in tripoli have been placed on high alert. thousands of opposition supporters have gathered in caracas to protest against continued electricity blackouts and water shortages. the march was called by the opposition leader, juan guaido, who's been urging his supporters to maintain

pressure on his rival president nicolas maduro. mr maduro has called for a rival pro—government show of support in caracas. hundreds of people have been protesting in central london against brunei's strict new laws on homosexuality. protestors gathered outside the dorchester hotel, which is owned by the brunei investment agency. brunei has increased the punishment for sex between gay men to stoning to death, while lesbian sex will be punished by a0 lashes or ten years injail. jon ironmonger reports. many protests start at the dorchester but this time it is the target and this time there is a barrier, around 200 demonstrators surrounded the five—star hotel, calling for a boycott of the business. one of a number of uk interests owned by the sultan of brunei. the law introduced are comparable to the extreme sharia laws imposed by isis when it rule in syria and iraq. we are hoping to hit

the sultan financially in the pocket. quite clearly he has not listen to reason or compassion so therefore when money talks, we want to make sure that money talks to him. earlier this week, the sultan of brunei introduced further ultraconservative islamic laws that will make gay sex and adultery punishable by stoning to death. it led to a public outcry. eltonjohn tweeting he would refuse to say at the dorchester in future. the process began here, the crowd have since pushed through barriers and they have gathered outside the doors which have been a lot by the management. the dorchester group is trying to distance itself from the issue, saying it should not be played out in their hotels but the boycott is already one backing from some senior politicians. actions have to have consequences and i

think not only should they be demonstrations and boycotts but we should also be considering taking the action of expelling brunei from the action of expelling brunei from the commonwealth if they are not prepared to abide by the basic rules, the - meanwhile, more commonwealth. meanwhile, more british institutions are wrestling with the connections to the country. oxford universityjoined with the connections to the country. oxford university joined aberdeen and king's college london i think it would reconsider a decision to award the sultan an honorary degree in 1983. the tiny nation of brunei has big ties with britain and picking them all will not be easy. the developer persimmon has announced a review into the quality of its housing after increasing concerns. issues with new homes are not just. .. this was

concerns. issues with new homes are notjust... this was supposed to be just his dream home, thinking he would not need to do any work to it. we moved out twice. every ceiling in the entire property has been removed. taylor wimpey was used. it was well below standard.

this solicitor, timothy takes new calls nearly every day from people battling against a host of different developers right across the country. he thinks the problems with new bills down to lack of skills in the workforce. people are making m ista kes workforce. people are making mistakes potentially because they did not realise the significance of what we're doing due to a lack of training. a lack of experience and a lack of supervision overall. developers are under pressure to build lots of home and quickly on top of that every building company i have spoken to have told me it is unlikely to hold of enough staff with the right level of skill. what new build homeowners are living with is the consequences of that. taylor wimpey say number of workers they hired directly by nearly 30%. the

government say they are tackling the issue by creating new homes ombudsman and spending more on new construction training house. there are construction training house. there a re calls construction training house. there are calls for a new law to let owners hang on to some of their final payments for a couple of yea rs. final payments for a couple of years. i spoke to paula higgins. she told me that they are finding it is not just one told me that they are finding it is notjust one developer but an industry issue. we think there is a lack of consumer protection when you buy a new home, you cannot return it. very little things you can do to get your money back. it. very little things you can do to get your money backlj it. very little things you can do to get your money back. i have never bought a new home but they must be some kind of warranty when you buy a new home? there is a warranty before the first two years it is the developer who has to put right to be honest, the reality can be that as soon as honest, the reality can be that as soon as you honest, the reality can be that as soon as you hand over your money and

the keys, it is hard to get them back on side. there is a warranty forup to back on side. there is a warranty for up to ten years but it is about structural elements. people are not protected enough. in defence of developers, could not be a case that we are seeing increase in complaints because we are seeing an increase in development. the government drives to get you homes are built across the country so there is likely to be an increase in complaints. the industry on data showing that in the last year double the amount of people would not recommend their building. we see that nine out of ten people really support a snagging retention. the difficulties are becoming worse and worse. is it the people or the designs then?|j becoming worse and worse. is it the people or the designs then? i think it is the system. there is not enough consumer protection in place. you see the lovely show home and what you think you're going to get

is not what the reality is. and there is no way to get people to come back to fix the snags which is why the start going to the press and go public. but why are we seeing these defects? asa as a down to the design, the materials they are using? are they cutting corners? it is all of the above. they are cutting corners with things like weak mortar, which has been discussed previously. we don't think there is much control over it. you can return a car. you have manuals when you return a car. you don't get that with a new home. there is a lack of consumer protection. it is all of the above. they are building fast but they not building to the right quality. we think there needs to be a high overall —— a huge overhaul of the

industry. allowing people to keep back a percentage of the purchase price, the area needs to be looked at just briefly, price, the area needs to be looked atjust briefly, i want to ask about snagging retention. what is it? it happens very much in the commercial sector are or if you are getting an extension on your home. you keep back a percentage of the purchase price. we suggest 2.5% for six months or longer. it gives the developers incentives to come back and fix things. and if they don't you at least have money set aside so you at least have money set aside so you can do it yourself. and grab the headlines on bbc news: theresa may released a statement saying that the longer it takes to find a deal that can be agreed on the greater the chance of not leaving the eu at all. the defence secretary ordered an investigation. thousands protest in sudan calling for military support to overthrow

their president of 3a years. we will look at the newspapers at help us. but first a round—up of the sport. good evening, james. i will tell you what will be on the front page of tell you what will be on the front pa g e of lots tell you what will be on the front page of lots of those newspapers, thatis page of lots of those newspapers, that is a photograph of a horse that isa that is a photograph of a horse that is a wonderful because it has been an historic day at aintree where tiger roll has become the first horse since red rum 45 years ago to win the grand national two years in a row. the 4—1 favourite, ridden by davy russell, was level with magic of light going over the last fence, but pulled clear to repeat last year's win. it is just brilliant. it isjust brilliant. i never dreamt of winning. i dreamt of winning a grand national. especially in the same horse. it is extraordinary to explain to people what he does. he is an extraordinary 23. we will talk about rum red, the first since rum

red two in back to backs. still not as good as rum red yet. essentially very similar. they were trying to compare him before the race but now he has earned it. he isjust a tremendous horse. he has tremendous people around him. all put together in one little ball and that is it. congratulation. manchester city's bid for the quadruple is still on. they reached the fa cup final with a narrow 1—0 win over brighton at wembley. craig templeton reports. this game started a season defining period for manchester city as they tried to close in on an unprecedented quadruple of trophies. brighton found themselves fighting for premier league survival and enter their first for premier league survival and enter theirfirst fa for premier league survival and enter their first fa cup semi—final for 36 years as heavy underdogs. this label was confirmed afterjust four minutes. gabriel jesus

this label was confirmed afterjust four minutes. gabrieljesus simply could not miss. manchester city lead the semi—final. we have barely begun. conceding an early goal helped brighton find their feet. but davy propper could not test the hands of edison. but then carl walker nearly lost his head and was lucky not to see red for this. especially following aba our review. brighton finished the half strongly but the equaliser continued to prove elusive. and only the quick thinking of aymeric laporte kept it that way. raheem sterling provided tickets for 550 children from his former school. but he couldn't quite wrap the game up. so city not at their absolute best, but they'll be back at wembley next month as they aim for the second part of the four piece puzzle. craig templeton, bbc news. and grab only had a 3—1 when at bournemouth. sean dyche's team overcame an early

own goal from ashley barnes to fight back. barnes himself atoning for his earlier mistake with a second half goal. elsewhere there were wins away from home for both crystal palace and leicester at newcastle and huddersfield respectively. two incidents of alleged racist abuse are being investigated following matches in the championship today. brentford have confirmed a season ticket holder was arrested after derby manager frank lampard said midfielder duane holmes was abused in the dugout during their 3—3 draw. wigan says they are "angered" by an abusive message sent to defender nathan byrne on twitter after their 2—2 draw with bristol city. the club has reported it to police. leicester tigers fears of relegation have worsened after a heavy 52—20 defeat at the hands of exeter chiefs. the chiefs put on a brilliant attacking display, scoring seven tries with seven different try scorers at welford road. the tigers head to bottom side newcastle on friday with just

a five—point cushion and four games to play. golf and angland's megan maclaren has missed out on winning thejordan mixed open. it was the first to see women compete against men for the first money and prize money. maclaren started the final round in the lead, but a bogey and double bogey on the back nine saw dutchman daan huizing win by two shots. that's all the sport for now. james, thank you. let us bring you some other news. gkn aerospace has announced it will close it's kings norton factory in 2021, which means around 170 people will lose theirjobs. gkn was bought by the melrose group in a hostile takeover last year. a statement from gkn says it has "regrettably" concluded its site in kings norton did not have a sustainable future, but the unite union said, the closure decision "flew in the face" of assurances given at the time of the takeover. our business correspondent, rob young, has been following the story.

so the history of this is that about a year ago melrose industry, which specialises in buying poor performing companies and turning them around, bought 23 four £8 billion against huge opposition. to try to make this deal go ahead, melrose entered into a series of undertakings with the government to try to reassure mps and unions. in one of those promises it made was that it would not sell the aerospace pa rt that it would not sell the aerospace part of gkn years. a mother from kent who tried to bring medicinal cannabis for her daughter in to the uk has had it confiscated. emma appleby, whose nine—year—old daughter has a rare form of epilepsy, had bought the drugs in the netherlands for £11,000. she had known it was illegal, but doctors in the uk have so far refused to prescribe it for her daughter. jon hunt has the story.

mrs appleby purchased a three—month supply of medicinal cannabis at a pharmacy in the hague yesterday for her daughter, tegan. it cost her the equivalent of £11000, money raised through crowdfunding. as she prepared to board her plane back to the uk, she knew the home office had threatened to confiscate it. nervous, obviously. but ready. we'll see what happens. if they take it, i'm going to fight to get it back. mrs appleby says she was forced to make this trip because doctors in the uk, while legally able to prescribe medicinal cannabis, are generally refusing to do so because of a lack of evidence. our general position is that we practice evidence—based medicine. so we are really interested in other cannabis—based medicines, as to whether they may be helpful, but we really have to acquire the evidence that they are effective and safe. so our advice would be, until we get that evidence, that we wouldn't prescribe them. on arrival at southend, mrs appleby and her family were met

by border force officers, who interviewed them and confiscated the drugs. absolutely gutted. they just took everything. they asked me at border control how long i was away for, and i thought, "oh, they are asking questions because someone's notified them". and then they asked me if i had anything to declare and there was loads of them waiting, so i knew, if i said no, i was going to get myself in deeper, so ijust said, yeah. the government says new guidance for doctors will be available in the autumn and it's encouraging further clinical research. jon hunt, bbc news, southend airport. a look at the sunday papers coming up a look at the sunday papers coming up next. at first sarah has the paper —— weather. a mixed picture out there. some of us have been lucky enough to sequences of sunshine. in other parts it has been cloudy, particularly in the north and east. outbreaks of drizzly rain. this is the beautiful picture. this was the sun setting earlier in lancashire. liz goes around there. we will keep clear spell through the
