here. interesting statement from the prime ministerfeeling here. interesting statement from the prime minister feeling the need to defend to seek a compromise with labour. she is warning about the outcome would be. the first argument as she needed to speak to both parties. how many times have we sat here on sunday morning and talked about how the prime minister had won over enough conservatives or the dup. she is saying after it happened it was quite clear that the deal had no prospect of getting through. she has also said in this something needs to happen soon. the talks with the labour party need to lead to some sort of breakthrough because the longer it goes on, the more chance there is that brexit quite simply will not happen. the problem for the prime minister, at the moment, the

talks, although we hear lots of speculation about the government being prepared to offer some bold moves like potentially a customs union, they have not led to a breakthrough yet. jeremy corbyn yesterday saying that government have not shown an ability to move red lines, and because of that, there had been no breakthrough. a crunch 72 hours ahead for that relationship between the conservative party and the labour party, if they are going to get a breakthrough. some speculation today she might be prepared to offer some sort of lock because labour are worried if they get a deal and she is not prime minister, someone like borisjohnson are suddenly by minister, he could pick apart the whole thing if there is a compromise agreement under government is offering a parliamentary look —— suddenly prime minister. there are two parts to any brexit deal, the withdrawal agreement, the thing so

many people have been angry about so far, it is legally binding, international treaty, if the house of commons does approve it. the second part is the political declaration which is basically a broad set of intentions for the future relationship. it is that part that the eu has said it might change, it is that part labour are trying to influence by having something like a customs union, but it is not legally binding. there is a fear within some in the labour party and other parties too that a future conservative prime minister could undertake it. one of the ideas being bandied about this morning as there will be legislation which says we commit to x as part of the political declaration and that would make it harder for a future political declaration and that would make it harderfor a future prime minister to undertake. whether it is enough is not clear because you could just introduce new legislation

—— unpick. could just introduce new legislation -- unpick. jeremy corbyn facing new allegations of anti—semitism. -- unpick. jeremy corbyn facing new allegations of anti-semitism. this isa allegations of anti-semitism. this is a set of documents seen by the sunday times, the bbc has not seen it yet, but the sunday times suggest many cases have not been dealt with yet properly by the party and that in some circumstances, extreme cases have not led to people being thrown out of the labour party, including according to the report in the paper references to crazy hitler and blaming dues for many things. labour insists these reports are selective —— blamingjews insists these reports are selective —— blaming jews for many things. i must say, there has been a different reaction from others, labour's deputy leader tom watson telling the sunday times it is deeply shocking and depressing reading that labour members of the jewish and depressing reading that labour members of thejewish community will not understand how the party has not got to grips with the issue. we have

had a statement this morning from the jewish had a statement this morning from thejewish leadership had a statement this morning from the jewish leadership group, had a statement this morning from thejewish leadership group, let me ta ke thejewish leadership group, let me take you through it, he refers to a statement he made injuly calling the labour party institutionally racist againstjews, he thinks the report on the sunday times makes clear for all to see how accurate the statement was and it is simply impossible for labour members to ignore the degree to which racism has infected labour. 0n ignore the degree to which racism has infected labour. on top of that, jewish labour says it is going to discuss today whether it still has confidence in the labour leadership. labour as a party insists it is not afair labour as a party insists it is not a fair picture of what is going on, it is an issue they are determined to deal with, but it is not going away. thank you very much indeed. 0ur political correspondent. today marks 25 years since the start of the rwanda genocide which killed around 800,000 people.

off immediately —— dawn sprayed the perfume over herself. he was in a coma, contracted meningitis, suffered strokes. he is now fitted with a pacemaker. his eyesight is deteriorating. unsurprisingly, he says he suffers from anxiety and depression. because of what happened. extraordinary, really, that he has gone to meet the russian ambassador in london. straightaway, britain said it thought russia was behind the novichok poisonings and named two russian intelligence agencies behind it. charlie went to the embassy in london and he said he wa nted the embassy in london and he said he wanted to ask him about his girlfriend's death, why did you kill my girlfriend? he said the russian ambassador said, russia cannot be behind it because if it was russian novichok everybody who touched it would be dead. you would not have

survived. he tried to suggest other countries were responsible including britain, america, even the czech republic. as you said, charlie was not happy with those answers and he said they were stupid and described it as complete russian propaganda. the russian ambassador said he would contact him again when he has spoken to president putin. it will be interesting to see what else comes from this quite extraordinary case. indeed. thank you, charlotte. three of the uk because my children commissioners have asked the un to investigate restraint in uk schools. government guidelines say teachers can use reasonable force to control children, but campaigners say restraint is often being used inappropriately. the government says it has consulted on reducing restraint and will announce its next steps soon. we will speak to adrian goldberg from radio 5 live.

tell us more about this. i first looked at this issue a couple of yea rs looked at this issue a couple of years ago and we were hearing complaints from children in special schools, children with learning difficulties, autism, they were being inappropriately restrained. the guidelines for the department for education suggests children can be quite legitimately physically restrained if they are causing a threat to themselves, to other children or to their teachers, but thatis children or to their teachers, but that is a line in the guidelines which apply to england anyway which suggests they can be used too, physical restraint, to maintain control in the classroom. many people say it is inappropriate, you cannot really restrain children just as a method of maintaining control in the classroom. some of the children commissioners are seeking guidance from the united

nations torture committee asking for clarification on whatjust is the reasonable use of force when applied to children. what are the government saying and the authorities about this? the uk government says there isa this? the uk government says there is a case for reasonable force, particularly if children are causing harm to themselves or to teachers or other students. they say it should be recorded, but i know from my research it is not always happening. the parents should always be told. again, i know it is not always happening. there is a consultation period which came to an end at the back end of 2018 and they say they will shortly be letting us know what the outcome of the research is. adrian goldberg reporting, thank you. the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu has said he will annexed jewish settlements in the occupied west bank if he is re—elected. israelis go to the polls

on tuesday and he is competing for votes with right—wing parties who support and axing part of the west bank. the settlements are illegal under international law but israel disputes that. reacting to the announcement, a spokesman for the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas, said mr netanyahu's statement did not alter the fact that the settlements were illegal and would be removed. this is what mr netanyahu had to say. translation: you are asking an interesting question, whether we are moving onto the next stage, the answer is, yes. translation: this means, during your next government, you are going to extend settlement? i am going to extend israeli sovereignty and i don't distinguish between settlement blocks and the isolated settlements. in my opinion, each block is an israeli area and is under israeli control. i won't move these blocks to the palestinian authority.

that was the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu. that was the israeli prime minister binyamin neta nyahu. thousands that was the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu. thousands of demonstrators across sudan have taken part in what appears to be the biggest series of rallies since protest began in december. in the country's capital, khartoum, demonstrators reached the army headquarters for the first time. the building lies close to the presidential compound. security forces used tear gas and made several arrests. so far, the army has not intervened in the protests. a look at the latest headlines on bbc news. theresa may says there was a risk brexit will not happen unless a risk brexit will not happen unless a deal can be agreed with labour. three of the uk's children's commissioners write to the un torture committee asking it to investigate the use of physical restraint and exclusion in schools. the man poison in last year's suspected russian chemical attack meets the russian ambassador in london to question him about who was

the leaders. i believe the people of libya have had enough of the violence, they want a political way forward. the proof of this is the great number of libya ns forward. the proof of this is the great number of libyans register to vote. they want the political process to win out over military rivalries. it is important for the global community to support this approach. however, the general has the backing of the united arab emirates and egypt. fresh fighting has flat near tripoli with reports of clashes taking place in three suburbs to the south of the city —— flared. fighting is also said to have taken place near the disused airport in tripoli. it is unclear if there are any casualties. since 2011 and the fall of colonel gaddafi, libya has experienced violence and division as various groups try to ta ke

kensington palace has disclosed that prince william has spent the past three weeks working with britain's three security and intelligence agencies. i wonder how much hands on stuff he actually did! he described his experiences at m15, m16, and gchq as humbling and said he'd gained an appreciation of the difficult and dangerous work being done on the country's behalf. 0ur royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, reports. william has carried out his public engagements as normal in the past three weeks, but he's been keeping a secret. by day, he has been spending time inside the closed world of britain's intelligence and security organisations. he had evidently been keen to see their work at first hand and, most unusually, the future king was permitted to spend time with the agencies normally closed to anyone from outside the secret world. he spent his first week at the headquarters of the secret intelligence service, mi6, whose officers work covertly outside the united kingdom. inside their building by the thames in london, he saw how intelligence is analysed. his second week was spent just across the river with the security service,

m15, which leads on counterterrorism and counter espionage within the uk. according to kensington palace, he worked alongside counterterrorism teams and this included some time out of the office. it's suggested he may have seen some surveillance operations taking place. he then spent a final week with britain's electronic eavesdroppers at gchq in cheltenham. at all three organisations, william said he found people doing what he called the most extraordinary work to keep the country safe. it had been a truly humbling experience, he said. nicholas witchell, bbc news. carole ghosn says her husband, who's a french citizen, should be getting more support. on thursday, the japanese authorities arrested carlos ghosn for a fourth time over allegations that he misappropriated company funds.

now i am 50, i am dedicating the next 50 years to doing something worthwhile. you know, when i meet people around the world, some youngsters, some old people, they turn around and say, "yourfilms make us happy," and that's very encouraging, but i want to make people happy now personally. over the years, he has championed equality for women, so, have things changed in the industry following the #metoo movement which saw women standing up to sexual harassment globally? the roles of women and the kind of attitude that you have at the work place for women is changing for the positive, but i think overall when i see some of the actresses get the kind of roles and even salaries, you know, which i think should be even more equal than it is right now. i think it is very heartening. however, there are some things shah rukh khan feels do not need changing, like the film censorship laws in india. you know, there are going to be issues between creative people

and what they want to say, but i would say that no film—maker wants to disturb the sensibilities of the audience. i don't think any law is outdated. i think of course you have to keep refurbishing. people are changing, the society is changing. but culturally, i think we are a very strong nation and i think that needs to be respected always. the bollywood superstar has made around 80 films over the last three decades. is it time now to take up more senior roles? my next role will be as sexy as my last one. so you want me to be sexy father, sexy hero, sexy heroine, whatever you want me to be. shabnam mahmood, bbc news. five days from now, another brexit deadline looms, but whether the uk actually leaves the european union on friday is still up for discussion. the conservatives and labour have failed to come up with a plan, despite days of talks.

in london two neighbours who have opposite views on brexit have been having their own cross—party talks. mark ashdown reports. we are living in an era of rather poor politicians. two men, one balcony and a debate which has played at across london. i decided to get a banner. imean big. covered the whole front. "vote leave. " i thought it was not representative of the area at all and i gave him a bottle of french wine. he said to me, i hope you don't mind, i have put up my own banner. my wife and i stayed up all night and made a banner saying, "...if you want to cut workers' rights." i thought it was clever. i think he was annoyed, but he saw the humour. there is a different political view... three years on, their views have hardened.

there is a difference. i do not like other countries taking charge of our laws and the way we live and who comes into the country. it is an english view and a narrow english view that harks back to in some ways a mythological past. sovereignty, really? yes, to sum it up, sovereignty. we are in a different world and we have to go forward on that basis. # telling lie after lie after lie... we have let brussels dictate where we are going. that is why you are not getting any one of the stature of, dare i say it, margaret thatcher. i hated her, but hell, i wish she was here now. that is a strange view. yes, it is. a lot of anger. i know friendships have suffered. i have to say some of my

friendships have suffered. there is one thing they do agree on. no doubt it is damaging politics. people in london and across england are completely bemused at what is happening. they are trying to stop it by hook or by crook. we have to work together on this. maybe the seismic change in parliament might give us a chance to do it. what do you think about this flag? it has not affected our relationship. it has brought us closer together. we look out for each other and we have even got a fire escape between the two balconies in case anything happens. very cordial. we just agree to disagree. this will be on instagram! for yea rs for years the giant panda was an endangered species. the habitats we re endangered species. the habitats

# love is in the air... # the right time, the female panda is usually fertile every two to three yea rs usually fertile every two to three years and then only for around 72 hours. the zookeepers have to act quickly but you know what they say, true love never runs smooth. translation: we opened the slide and they sniff each other a bit. she found his behaviour at bit too intrusive and she gently slapped him and she was shocked and scared, she definitely wears the trousers in this relationship. # love is in the air... # she normally shows her unhappiness by walking backwards. maybe this isn't a bad omen for potentially future offspring. she should give birth within three to six months if all goes well and this would be the

first panda ever to be born in germany. a lot of information about pandas on a sunday morning. following that with the weather. pretty cloudy today but i am hopeful many western areas will brighten through the course of the afternoon and to the east, cloud should lift somewhat too except for on the north—east coast. eastern england, she was drifting in with a bit of sunshine and temperatures shooting up sunshine and temperatures shooting up to enable the showers to turn quite thundery —— showers drifting in. particularly in the south—east, east anglia and the midlands. 17 in the west in the best of the sunshine. this evening, the showers drifting across the midlands and north wales, weakening before getting a new lease of life when they arrive in northern ireland by they arrive in northern ireland by the end of the night. clearer skies across scotland, chilly start on monday, but after a cloudy weekend,
