something which she described extension is agreed, we could leave on friday with no deal. some want as "the basis for a compromise". the idea of revoking article 50 to be left on the table. that will be today, the leader of the house of commons andrea leadsom has said that it is important disappointing and as a result of the to compromise as long as we actually crisis but the government has end up leaving the eu. she said that "through gritted teeth" the government caused, unfortunately. it will be a are going to have to listen matter we consider very carefully to the labour leadership. working withjeremy corbyn is not but we have promised our party something i want to do at all. members and constituents that we will do all we can to avoid a no it is not something the prime minister wants to do. deal situation and it's something we but far worse than that, would be would consider very, very strongly. to fail to deliver on brexit. this place has another big week that would be the appalling thing, because we were quite clearly told ahead. can the two main parties come by the people in 2016 to leave the european union and every single toa ahead. can the two main parties come to a compromise? if not, can mps politician who went on the air decide on another round of votes? said, "what you decide, we will implement", and parliament brexit divisions have become has failed to do that. entrenched, overcoming them will not this is interesting, so your position is to get brexit be easy. delivered, it is worth doing a deal and nick is with me now. with jeremy corbyn, even if that clearly another crucial coming week for theresa may. can she secure a deal? means you are little bit away from the prime minister's current red lines? specifically, provided we are leaving the european union, it's still a huge task. if you then it is important that we compromise. listen to both parties, you would that is what this is about, think they aren't that far apart.

and it is through gritted teeth but nevertheless, the most important thing andrea leadsom hinting that much of is to actually leave the eu. what labour wants in a customs union is already on the deal that's fair. labour hinting they are willing to andrea leadsom, there. compromise and there will be more meanwhile, shadow business secretary rebecca long bailey, discussions on exactly what a one of the labour team in the cross—party talks, customs arrangement with the eu in said further negotiations were planned but added it was "disappointing" the future looks like. but both there not been any movement on the government's red lines. parties face huge internal pressure as well. if the conservatives were we are only waiting for the government to come to pivot towards the labour back to us now to say whether they are prepared to move position, some in the brexit wing on any of their red lines. as i say, we had great discussions will be furious. likewise, 80 labour and we went into a lot mps are writing tojeremy corbyn of technical detail, but so far we have not seen anything this morning, saying if he wants to from government that would suggest agree a deal with the government it they are prepared to change any part of the deal going forward. obviously, that is disappointing has to include another referendum. going back to the people to make the because we know the prime minister committed to compromise and indeed, final choice. divisions, as i said we have committed to the same but we have not seen any at westminster are entrenched and real compromise yet. it's not going to be easy. if that also speaking this morning, doesn't happen, we will potentially london mayor sadiq khan has told the bbc he was in favour see another round of votes which could see other options visited of cancelling brexit and revoking article 50, again. two weeks after we were but he welcomed the prime minister's

decision to hold talks supposed to leave, the debate rages with jeremy corbyn. on. thank you. she's been negotiating with the eu, charlie rowley, who survived last the cabinet and her party year's novichok poisonings in salisbury, which killed his partner dawn sturgess, has met with the for a thousand days so the idea that russian ambassador in london. after the meeting — which was set up in two or three days, there will be a resolution by the sunday mirror newspaper — between the tory leadership and the labour leadership mr rowley said he "didn't really get is just not realistic. any answers" from the ambassador, in those circumstances, who told him russia i believe we should stop the clock. wasn't behind the attack. we don't want to sort scotland yard and the crown prosecution service have said of inadvertently leave the eu they have enough evidence to charge without any deal whatsoever two russian men linked with or a bad deal. the country's intelligence services. let's stop the clock and revoke article 50, whatever deal is reached. commemorations are taking place in rwanda, 25 years you don't expect jeremy corbyn after the genocide in which 800,000 to come to a deal either? i think it's unrealistic. people, a tenth of the entire it is not about how good or bad jeremy and his team are or how good population, was killed. or bad theresa may and her team are. the reality is, we have got a clock president paul kagame, who led a rebel army which is running down, that ended the fighting, this artificial deadline placed upon us because of the lit a remembrance flame at the kigali genocide memorial, circumstances of article 50. where many of the victims the thing to do is withdraw that are buried. so the pressure is taken off. charlotte gallagher has this report. cool, calm heads could reach a resolution. this is the light! that could be some sort of a deal and the deal that secures the most a flame to remember and reflect, votes in parliament, a quarter of a century after one that should be one of the options of the world's worst genocides.

put to the british public, with the option also of remaining in the eu. the people carrying the flames are all aged 25, too young to remember the mass slaughter. sadiq khan, there, the mayor of london. meanwhile, labour has defended its handling of complaints about anti—semitism after it was reported that the party had failed to take disciplinary action in hundreds of cases. the sunday times said it had seen leaked internal documents which showed the party's system in 1994, there was no hope. only for dealing with complaints had been beset by delays, inaction and interference from the leader's office. shami chakrabarti, speaking darkness. today, light, radiance on sky news' sophie ridge on sunday, urged thejewish labour movement not to "personalise the issue and make from this place. it about jeremy corbyn" over 100 days in 1994, at their annual general meeting 800,000 men, women and children were murdered — later today where they will hold many by militias armed on a vote on whether they have with machetes. confidence in the labour leader. the majority of those killed were from the tutsi ethnic group. we have to tackle it but it will be most of the perpetrators much easier to tackle it if we don't were hutu extremists. make it a personal attack child cries. those who survived the violence onjeremy corbyn, or were forced to flee. a conservative attack on labour 2 million people became refugees. or an inter—factional attack,

it seems to me. we need to take the same approach, by the way, when there are claims the country will now mourn about the conservative party, not to go, "oh, the tories have got for the next 100 days, a problem with islamophobia now". we have got to come together the time it took for one in ten as democratic people in the context rwandans to be murdered 25 years ago. of the rise of the far right charlotte gallagher, bbc news. in europe and in this country. the democratic people who are anti—racist need to come kensington palace has revealed that together and tackle it. prince william has spent the past three weeks working with britain's three security and intelligence agencies. a british man who was exposed he described his experiences at m15, to the novichok nerve agent last m16 and gchq as "humbling", year has met the russian ambassador and said he'd gained an appreciation of the difficult and dangerous work in london to question him being done on the country's behalf. about the incident. charlie rowley said he didn't really get any answers our royal correspondent and he still believed russia nicholas witchell reports. was to blame. william has carried out his public engagements as normal yesterday, he met the ambassador, alexander yakovenko, in the past three weeks, with his brother matthew. but he's been keeping a secret. by day, he has been spending time they were accompanied by the sunday inside the closed world of britain's intelligence mirror newspaper. but we wanted to do something and security organisations. on a permanent basis, but the crown estate, he had evidently been keen they said historically listed, to see their work at first hand and, you cannot change anything. most unusually, the future king

we can talk now to the tv presenter and he said never mind the two rachel riley who is at the conference in central london. good olympic golds and the six world afternoon. tell us a bit more about championships, competing today he what the conference is trying to said would topple all of that. he was involved in a bike crash in achieve. we have got 250 ladies here today and it is about bringing us 2010, he fractured his skull and he said his neurologist never thought together to become active allies for it would be possible for him to each other, so talking about the compete in an event like this. today experience as a jewish woman and as he is studying for a masters at a muslim woman and what anti—semitism or islamophobia means cambridge university and described it as cambridge university and described itasa cambridge university and described to our lives. trying to get rid of it as a humbling experience saying after a week, no one was really the stereotypes and just explain to bothered about his roving each other what is happening, just credentials and he was never guaranteed a place. a great story. talk about it and find ways to connect as women, to support each other in what is basically the same thank you. thing, racism and hatred. it is you can see more on all of today's horrible, nobody likes it and we stories on the bbc news channel. need to find ways to make it stop. the next news on bbc one is at 6:35. bye for now. and are the women there finding common ground and connections with the way that they are being treated? huge amounts of common ground, yes. women especially get a lot more abuse, whether you are talking about online or in real life, women are hello, you're watching

targeted a lot more, there's a lot the bbc news channel of into that, and obviously, for muslim women, it is more visible with ben brown. because they might be wearing a it's 12:40pm. veil, and jewish ladies might be five days from now, another brexit deadline looms, wearing a star of david but they are but whether the uk actually leaves an easy target. the far right especially like to target women, the european union on friday, is still up for discussion. they are misogynistic, they see us as inferior. there's a lot of commonality of whether we have had the conservatives and labour have failed to come up with a plan, to move countries. a lot of muslim despite days of talks. and jewish women in their family in london two neighbours — history has been refugees, they have who have opposite views on brexit — come to this country, if they are have been having their own here now, fleeing persecution. cross party talks. mark ashdown reports. wherever it rears its ugly head, a tiny amount is unacceptable and we need to talk to each other more because there is way more in common we are living in an era of rather poor politicians. than we have different. is there a two men, one balcony and a debate sense that both problems, which has played out across london. anti—semitism and islamophobia, are i decided to get a banner. getting worse? i mean, it certainly imean big. covered the whole front. feels that way from my point of "vote leave. " view. i think, i thought it was not representative feels that way from my point of view. ithink, you know, of the area at all and i gave him islamophobia, racism, hatred, anti—semitism, none of these things a bottle of french wine. are new and the internet is a new he said to me, i hope you don't way for us to see it so we are mind, i have put up my own banner. seeing it a lot more than we have

my wife and i stayed up all night before. but from my experience, i and made a banner saying, see the holocaust was not the first "...if you want to cut workers' time anti—semitism happened, it was just the most modern way at the time rights." i thought it was clever. together and as modernity graces and we have more technology, the way to i think he was annoyed, spread these hateful ideologies and the way to bring more people but he saw the humour. together more quickly accelerates. there is a different political view... three years on, their now with the internet, you can see views have hardened. conspiracy theory spreading, whether it is about muslims orjewish people there is a difference. and they are getting a wide i do not like other countries taking audience. it used to be rubbish bits charge of our laws and the way of paper that you can ignore and you we live and who comes could see it was a crank. but now into the country. the cranks have proper websites and it is an english view and a narrow they are getting their message onto english view that harks back to in some ways a mythological past. more and increasingly mainstream positions. we need to be able to sovereignty, really? call it out and say that conspiracy theories and hate, conspiracy yes, to sum it up, sovereignty. we are in a different theorists are the ones with the world and we have to go problem, it is notjewish people are forward on that basis. muslims and we did get together and fight them. getting together and fight them. getting together and fight them. getting together and # telling lie after lie after lie... fight them is what you are doing today. what are the ways forward to tackle both anti—semitism and islamophobia? what kind of methods we have let brussels are you talking about to try and dictate where we are going.

that is why you are not getting any deal with these problems? we are one of the stature of, dare i say it, margaret thatcher. becoming active allies, making friends, talking to each other and i hated her, but hell, not just being i wish she was here now. friends, talking to each other and notjust being a watcher, notjust that is a strange view. being someone that sees it and does yes, it is. not say anything. the extremists are a lot of anger. not say anything. the extremists are not worried about having their i know friendships have suffered. voices heard. if we only leave it to the extreme is to make their voices heard, that is all you hear and it i have to say some of my becomes normal and it spread. one friendships have suffered. there is one thing they do agree on. way i am trying to combat this is with a project called stop funding no doubt it is damaging politics. people in london and across england fake news, telling companies they are completely bemused are probably inadvertently funding a lot of the website that helps spread at what is happening. they are trying to stop it the hate and conspiracy theories about muslims and migrants and by hook or by crook. jewish people and we need to come we have to work together on this. together and say," maybe the seismic change jewish people and we need to come together and say, " your company branding is being positioned on in parliament might give us a chance to do it. these terrible websites, i am sure you were not aware but look and now what do you think about this flag? you were not aware but look and now you know this, please stop funding it has not affected click bait, hateful website and stop our relationship. it has brought us closer together. giving money to these things". it is not about freedom of speech. you can we look out for each other stand on a street corner and chat whatever you like but i'm not paying and we have even got a fire escape between the two balconies for you to do that so that is one a in case anything happens.

very cordial. way to really, take and stop we just agree to disagree. conspiracy theory spreading, whoever this will be on instagram! they are against. thank you for joining us. rachel riley, speaking from europe's only jewish joining us. rachel riley, speaking from europe's onlyjewish and muslim women's conference. today marks 25 years since the start now time for click. of the rwandan genocide, which killed around 800,000 people in 100 days. a remembrance flame was lit in the country's capital city, kigali, to mark a week's worth of commemorations. we can speak to our correspondent in the rebound in capital now. good to have you with us. —— rwandan this is the sight lots of cities capital. tell us about the across the world wake up commemorations and to what extent to every morning. has ruan de smidt unable to move on from the horrific events a quarter ofa pollution well over the safe limits. from the horrific events a quarter of a century ago? —— to what extent has rwanda been able to move on? we now know this is killing more president paul kagame has people than smoking. this week the ultra low emission commemorated 25 years of the

genocide, already lighting the flame zone launches in london. which will stay lit for 100 days and it hopes to keep the worst there will be 100 days of mourning to remember the 108 in which more polluters off the streets. but whether a £12.50 surcharge than 800,000 people were killed. will actually stop enough people right now, he is at the kigali convention centre where he is using their vehicles is, expected to address the public any time now, and then they will walk some might say, questionable. from parliament to the stadium where it's a beautiful day in london today a series of murmuration is and at and right now pollution levels aren't too high. night they will have a candlelit vigil. rwanda is still healing. i spoke to the chief body that looks but come hour the story changes. this goes beyond the busy roads, too. into the welfare of the genocide london's deepest tube stations, survivors and it says that the trauma statistics are going up. a a new study suggests, lot more people are free to speak can be 30 times more polluted. about it now and as a result, they are getting more and more people at london marylebone, actually now showing signs of a new air filtering system is trying trauma, who has been hiding it but to tackle the problem. it isa trauma, who has been hiding it but it is a good thing because now they can get to that sort of feeling. in well, i wouldn't usually be standing terms of peace, the country has this close to a fan blowing air in my face, but apparently this remained largely peaceful, stable is giving me the cleanest air and progressive ever since paul in the station. kagame took power. the economy grows atan behind this advertising board kagame took power. the economy grows at an average of 7% but in terms of is a contraption containing a nano

politics, there are those who feel carbon filter capable of removing it can free up a democratic space a over 90% of harmful gases bit more. ferdinand, thank you very from the environment. the devices are deliberately positioned alongside the shops much. and waiting areas where most three of the uk's children passengers spend their time. commissioners have asked you torture this map shows how the quality committee to investigate the use of of the air is improved significantly physical restraint and seclusion in where the filters are. uk schools. government guidelines say teachers the polluted air is being sucked can use "reasonable force" to control children, in through the top of the unit but campaigners say restraint and sent to a chamber is often being used inappropriately. the government says it has consulted in which there is a high—voltage on reducing restraint, and will electrical field where the ultrafine announce its next steps soon. particles are being captured. bruce adamson is the children and young people'scommissioner for scotla nd young people'scommissioner for scotland and joins us now from edinburgh. thank you forjoining us. tell us to what extent do you think this is a real problem in the british education system? this is a huge human rights issue. for some of the children who need the most support. my office in scotland did an investigation into the effect of

this across scotland and we found real concerns about the lack of guidance available, and even the recording of the number of incidents. this is the same across all of the parts of the uk. myself and the other child ren's commissioners have raised this directly with the un but also the council of europe and we are asking them when they do the examination of them when they do the examination of the uk in early may to raise this as a matter of urgent concern. parents across the uk have been raising this and this is restraint of children, this is being held down, this is being... the use of straps and the use of force, or being secluded, and the impact on notjust children's education but physical and mental health is quite extreme. it also has a really big impact on teachers and others in those settings, who are left without the support and training and guidance they need to keep children safe. what we are demanding from government if they ta ke demanding from government if they take urgent action to put in place for guidance and support teachers and others need to make sure they can see the children as needing additional support. this should not be seen as a behavioural issue.

these are not children acting out. they are expressing distress and need and trying to communicate their need and trying to communicate their need for support. these are children with autism and other additional support needs. urgent action is needed from the governments and local authorities to make sure the support is in place for teachers to keep our children safe. as i said in the introduction, three of the uk's children's commissioner is asking the un torture committee to investigate this. some people would say that sounds a bit extreme. investigate this. some people would say that sounds a bit extremem investigate this. some people would say that sounds a bit extreme. it is not extreme at all. one of the roles we have as children's commissioners is to promote and safeguard children's right and we work domestically and in close partnership with the un, the council of europe and other international human rights bodies and the committee against torture's job is to help prevent things that harm children in terms of torture or inhuman and degrading treatment. the use of restraint is really degrading and very harmful to children. what we are asking the un to do is to

make sure that the uk government and all of the different parts of that live up to their obligations to treat children with dignity and respect their human rights and protect them from all forms of torture and inhuman and degrading treatment, including things like restraint for some of the children that need the most support. government guidelines say that teachers can use reasonable force to control children. are you saying the guidelines are out of date or wrong? the guidelines are different in different parts of the uk. certainly, there is real concern by collea g u es certainly, there is real concern by colleagues in england and in wales and northern ireland, around this, and northern ireland, around this, and there are new welsh guidelines which i understand will take a human rights —based approach. there is real concerns in england. in scotland, my concern is that the guidelines arejust a scotland, my concern is that the guidelines are just a couple of pages and they are set within the context of behaviour management and addressing school exclusions, but what we need our specific guidelines on supporting children with additional support needs, communication needs and to make sure

we involve pa rents communication needs and to make sure we involve parents and we have specific plans for children in support, training and guidance for teachers to make sure that they are seeing this as a support need, not as bad behaviour that needs to be managed or punishment in anyway. they should be looking after the child and putting their needs first and their first. there should be a clear plan in place and support and staffing and training in place to make sure that restraint should only ever be used as a measure of last resort. but what we need is a specific guidance that sees these children as needing support, not behaviour management. thank you, bruce adamson, the commissioner for children and young people in scotland, joining us from edinburgh. time to get the latest sport now, reflecting on yesterday's grand national and today's boat race. good afternoon. tiger roll‘s owner michael o'leary says it is unlikely they will

attempt to make it three in a row at the grand national next year. he became the first horse since red rum in 1973 became the first horse since red rum in1973 and 7a became the first horse since red rum in 1973 and 7a to make back—to—back wins, although red rum had a record third victory in 1977. we still have another step, you know, we're still not as good as red rum yet but at the end of the day, he's very similar. they were trying to compare him before the race but now at least, he has earned it, now. at this stage, really, he is a tremendous horse. he's got tremendous people around him, and it is all put together in one little ball and that's it. manchester city will find out later who they'll face in the fa cup final. watford and wolves go head to head at wembley this afternoon in their semifinal. you have to know how to play it, knowing that... focus on the game, don't think about anything else, don't think what it could mean or what could happen after. focus on the game. make the game special. this is the best way to approach competitions.

just play the game, action after action. the players i think are keeping the same attitude during all the season, and it helps, it helps us to feel in this moment all the work we have done before. we are getting a good reward, enjoying with a semifinal, enjoying at the end of the season, because we have many options to improve points, to improve positions. great britain's women have lost their latest game in hockey‘s pro league, going down 11—2 against argentina. grace balsdon found the net with an impressive drag—flick to take them into half—time at 1—1. but it took less than a minute for argentina to retake the lead in rosario, and they ran away with the game to go to the top of the table.

in tennis, the former world no 1 victoria azarenka is through to her first singles final in three years. she's at the monterrey open in mexico where she'll play garbine muguruza. it's also the final of the charleston open later today, the first clay court touranment of the year. another former world no 1, caroline wozniacki, is in the final there. she had a straight sets win over croatia's petra martic, and she'll take on madison keys. that is all the sport for now. much more on the website, including all the build—up to the boat race. you can watch it on bbc one and on the website, coverage starts from 1:20pm. the men's race goes off at 3:10pm and the women at 2:15pm or thereabouts. more sport in the next hour. thank you. an app that enables hand car wash users to report concerns over workers has received nearly 1,000

reports of potential human trafficking in the first five months. the safe car wash app was launched by the church of england's anti—slavery arm, the clewer initiative, and the catholic church last year. users of the app have flagged up fearful workers, lack of protective clothing and workers living on site, just some of the signs people might be working in conditions of slavery. let's discuss this now, with our reporter in brighton. tell us first of all, alex, what is the idea of the app and how does it work? so the idea of the app is to try to map the extent of these car washes around the country and to kind of gauge how bad the levels of exploitation are in the car washes. the national crime agency has identified them as a place where exploitation is very likely. what the church of england

and the catholic church have done is designed this app to be downloaded, and if you get to a car wash and you have concerns, you can and if you get to a car wash and you have concerns, you can open and if you get to a car wash and you have concerns, you can open up the app and it will ask you a series of questions. it will ask if you paid cash, if the workers appeared fearful, if they appeared to be living on site, where their children working? if you answer enough of those questions, it will then prompt you to call the modern slavery helpline and the idea is then that the agencies involved can step in and report it to the local police. lots of people have been using it. they have revealed potentially lots of cases of human trafficking. yeah, well, since the app was launched in june last year, between june well, since the app was launched in june last year, betweenjune and december, it was downloaded 8000 times. there were over 2000 people who logged reports and out of those, about 930 were seen as serious enough to prompt that advised to call the modern slavery helpline. actually, only 18% of people made

the call, which was seen as quite low. but what experts say it is a relatively new crime and sometimes people don't even think there is a problem with a car wash they are visiting. also, just maybe, people lack the confidence to actually make the call. maybe they are a bit worried in case there might be a comeback on them. when it comes to modern slavery, it is notjust car washes, is it? not at all. the other areas are seen as problematic are agriculture, construction and also nail bars. i think the national crime agency and the gang masters and labour abuse authority have got their eyes are nail bars as well. i think the reason they saw this as a really effective way to start people thinking about the issue is because these car washes have become so prevalent in recent years. they did not use to be —— there did not he is to be as many as there are now. they are waiting to see how successful the app is and there may be looking at using a similar technology to log problems in other areas. thank you

for joining problems in other areas. thank you forjoining us. in a moment, we'lljoin viewers on bbc1 for a full round—up of the lunchtime news. now it's time for a look at the weather with susan powell. hello, we're up against it with the cloud across the uk today. there's been a lot of it about, certainly through the morning. i'm hoping things will brighten for many through the afternoon, but the east coast, which started with very closed in skies and some dense patches of fog, will always struggle. we may see that visibility improving but we keep an easterly breeze which will keep things pretty chilly and also cloudy. further west, though, the promise of some brighter skies, also some brightness across some parts of eastern england. what that may then do is allow temperatures to shoot up enough to turn some showers that will feed in from the east into some pretty punchy, thundery downpours through the middle part of the afternoon. that could be potentially very tricky for the boat races

because lightning is the only thing that could keep the boats off the water. there will be showers around certainly in the london area through the afternoon. but the temperatures, though, where we get the sunshine up to 17 degrees, possible. more cloud for scotland which caps the figures at around 11 or 12 at best. through the evening, heavier showers briefly for the midlands and north wales before they weaken. it looks like they will get pepped up again as they arrive into northern ireland by the end of the night. much clearer skies by the end of the night across scotland. a slightly chillier start to monday, but thankfully, finally, a much brighter start, after what has been a very cloudy weekend. still quite a bit of cloud in the east, some going into the central lowlands but as the day goes on, most areas brightening very nicely. some punchy showers possible again, though, across the midlands and north wales, maybe a few in the south—east. the risk of some showers in the south—west later in the afternoon. again, 16 or 17 degrees the potential highs, particularly away from the east, where we keep that easterly breeze. those showers are actually tied in with a weather front which is not

too coherent at the moment but looks like it could mean business by tuesday, bringing some heavier rain into the south of the uk. of course, it is the school holidays. if you have outdoor plans for tuesday, stay tuned to the forecast because the position of that weather front looks like it may alter slightly during the course of the next 2a hours or so. you will notice for tuesday, a cooler scene generally across the uk, with highs of 12 or 13. for much of the week ahead, the temperatures are going to struggle to get up to the mid—teens at best. there will also be a lot of cloud around but by the end of the week, it should start to feel much more springlike once again.
