this is bbc news. the headlines... the government insists theresa may had to reach out to labour in a bid to move forward on brexit. working with jeremy corbyn to move forward on brexit. working withjeremy corbyn is not something i want to do at all, but far worse than that would be to fail to deliver on brexit. labour has defended its handling of complaints about anti—semitism. commemorations take place to mark 25 rwanda, in which about a tenth of the prince william hasjust rwanda, in which about a tenth of the prince william has just finished a three week stint working secretly with the uk intelligence agencies. a new boat race record, james

cracknell will become the oldest person ever to i’ow cracknell will become the oldest person ever to row in the annual oxford— cambridge clash this afternoon. good afternoon. theresa may says there's a risk brexit won't happen, unless a deal can be agreed with labour. cross—party talks have been taking place to break the stalement on getting an agreement through parliament. labour says further talks are planned, but said it was disappointing that there had not been any movement on the government's so—called "red lines". here's our political correspondent nick eardley. what does theresa may do in the coming days? another brexit deadline approaching, still no breakthrough in talks with labour. the prime minister now says continuing to delay our departure could mean it doesn't happen at all.

in a statement, she said... the leader of the commons admits talks with the opposition are happening through gritted teeth, but she says now is the time to deliver. i just want to point out, we are out of time. we should have left on 29th march. on wednesday, european leaders will be here to decide whether to push brexit day back again. the government wants a few more weeks. european leaders have suggested an extension could be much longer, with the ability to get out early if parliament backs a deal. i would think the eu would want to have an extension. i would think they would want to avoid no deal. on the other hand, the other side of it is they would also want to avoid the uk fighting european elections, which is something i'm also extremely keen to avoid. talks with labour will continue in the coming days. so far, the party says the government hasn't accepted its main demand, a customs union, but it isn't giving up hope of a breakthrough. at the moment, we aren't seeing any

element of compromise from the government. we're hopeful that will change over the coming days, and we will consider any proposals they put to us if they come near to the objectives we are trying to achieve. all the while, the legal default remains. if no extension is agreed, we could leave on friday with no deal. some want the idea of revoking article 50 to be left on the table. that will be disappointing, and it will be as a result of the crisis that the government has caused, unfortunately. it will be a matter that we consider very carefully, but we have promised our party members and constituents that we will do all we can to avoid a no deal situation, and it's something we would consider very, very strongly. this place has another big week ahead. can the two main parties come to a compromise? if not, can mps decide on another round of votes? in another round of votes? brexit divisions have become entrenched — overcoming them won't be easy.

talk of working with jeremy talk of working withjeremy corbyn through gritted teeth is not very encouraging, necessarily, to suggest that there is compromise, and it seems everybody is now drawing up red lines of their own, andrea leadsom saying, no second referendum, we can't take part in european elections, it is almost as if people's positions are hardening, rather than moving? it is highly controversial. all of this, all of the things that are being put on the table now have been contested at some point over the last two and a half years. there are no new ideas? exactly. there does seem to be a fairly limited space between the two when it comes to this idea of a customs relationship. labour insisting it is a customs union, you heard rebecca long—bailey making that point this morning. the government saying, actually, if you look at the customs arrangement we have, it is quite, love. to what you

have, it is quite, love. to what you have been suggesting. so i think there is still a bit of thrashing about of that. that needs to be some movement, it is quite clear labour will not agree unless there is a movement over the next few days — is that possible? perhaps it is. but the other thing to throw into the mix which makes it even more complicated is the huge pressure that both the prime minister and jeremy corbyn are under from their own parties. theresa may's side, there are brexiteers who will be furious if she pivots in a meaningful way towards labours position. we have seen it in the papers this morning, dominic raab, for example, the former brexit secretary, saying that jeremy corbyn's position would mean the benefits of brexit could not be fulfilled as he sees it. on the other side, 80 labour mps writing to jeremy corbyn this morning saying to him, you can't agree anything that doesn't involve another referendum. so the divisions are still there. there are the divisions between the parties but then subdivisions, if you like, within the parties themselves. so, getting that over themselves. so, getting that over the line and getting something in

the line and getting something in the next few days, remember, which would unite the two parties, i think isa would unite the two parties, i think is a big ask. 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 for dealing with complaints had been beset by delays, inaction and interference from the leader's office. shami chakrabarti, speaking on sky news' sophie ridge on sunday, urged thejewish labour movement not to "personalise the issue and make it about jeremy corbyn" at their annual general meeting later today where they will hold on a vote on whether they have confidence in the labour leader. we have to tackle it but it will be much easier to tackle it if we don't make it a personal attack onjeremy corbyn or a conservative attack on labour, oran corbyn or a conservative attack on labour, or an inter—factional attack, it seems to me. and we know to ta ke

attack, it seems to me. and we know to take the same approach when there are claims about the conservative party, not to go, the tories have got a problem with islamophobia... we have got to come together as democratic people in the context of the rise of the far right in europe and in this country. the democratic people who are antiracist need to come together and tackle it. earlier i spoke to the national secretary earlier ben brown spoke to the national secretary of the jewish labour movement, peter mason, who says jeremy corbyn has not done enough to tackle the problem. the jewish labour movement thejewish labour movement made the heart—wrenching decision to refer the labour party to the human rights commission, alleging institutional racism, because quite frankly, what we have seen, and what today confirms, is that the structures and mechanisms of the labour party are so mechanisms of the labour party are so incapable of dealing with anti—jewish racism that quite frankly, they need to bring in full independence to get the situation under control and to really shine a light on what we now know has been

happening. ultimately, organisations are led by the top, cultures of organisations are set by those that lead them. and over the last three yea rs, lead them. and over the last three years, one year on from the protests in parliament square by thejewish community, can the labour party and the labour party leadership really say that enough has been done? meanwhile, europe's only jewish—muslim women's conference gets underway today in london, expecting 100—200 jewish and muslim women from all around the country to attend. one of the overall goals of the day is to produce a list of demands for what government and political parties need to do to tackle antisemitism and islamaphobia. )our correspondent caroline davies is at the university of westminster in central london. she's been spending the day with those attending the conference. this morning they heard from keynote speaker cressida dick and also from rachel riley, the countdown presenter, who has been speaking about anti—semitism. one of the people joining about anti—semitism. one of the peoplejoining the about anti—semitism. one of the people joining the conference has been a campaigner from

people joining the conference has been a campaignerfrom hope not hate, the antiracism campaign group, why was it important for you to come along today? i think what is really special about this is that it is real women getting involved, it is notjust the real women getting involved, it is not just the same real women getting involved, it is notjust the same campaigners, these are people from communities all around the uk standing up and saying it is time to connect, it is time to find people who live near me who i have never had conversations with and starting to have genuine interactions to make a positive difference. so the groups here have over 27 chapters i understand around the uk with muslim and jewish women who get together and meet to discuss different issues. obviously, both communities, since the last annual conference, have had their own tragedies, there has been the pips to pittsburgh shooting in a synagogue and the christchurch shootings in mosques, how have the cha pters shootings in mosques, how have the chapters come together and what sort of responses have they had to both of responses have they had to both of those atrocities for different religions? i think there are all kinds of responses at different levels. what is amazing is that real

friendships have sprung up and we have what subgroups for most of the cha pters have what subgroups for most of the chapters so that immediately the news breaks, you havejewish people reaching out to muslim women, and the other way round, to express condolences. it is on a very personal level. but also at the conference this morning we took time to mark the victims of both of those atrocities and we had the names of everybody who was killed on the screen while we took a moment's silence to think of them. do you feel at this conference this year, it feels particularly pertinent, have you seen any changes in anti—semitism or islam a phobia or in the experience of your chapter or in your own experience? in the experience of your chapter or in your own experience ?|j in the experience of your chapter or in your own experience? i think both islam phobia and anti—semitism are on the rise, along with a lot of hate which is bubbling up underneath across the country. i think what is different this year is a renewed energy to get out and do something about it, it is no longer the time to talk, we need to get out and do something, and that is what the active allies of campaign is all

about, time to stand up and make a difference by action, notjust speech. charlie rowley has met with russia's ambassador to london. after the meeting, which was set up by the sunday mirror newspaper, mr rowley said he "didn't really get any answers" from the ambassador, who told him russia wasn't behind the attack. scotland yard and the crown prosecution service have said they have enough evidence to charge two russian men linked with the country's intelligence services. history will be made at the boat race this afternoon, when the double olympic gold medallist james cracknell becomes the oldest person to row in the annual clash between oxford and cambridge universities. at a6, he beats the previous record by eight years and is more than twice the age of some of his cambridge team—mates. our sports correspondent patrick gearey has more. when you row, you push back, not only against water, but against pain. this is a sport which takes your body to gasping, agonising exhaustion, a place james cracknell knows well

and yet keeps coming back to. a man who has rowed at the olympics and across the atlantic will now take on the thames as a 16—year—old, having gone to cambridge to study. it's definitely a lot harder. i don't bounce back in the same way. i have to be a bit more careful about that. you can't burn the candle at both ends, but... it is quite fun to abuse 22—year—olds. their cultural references are totally wrong and they educate me on all manner of things, from chemical equations to tinder. great britain get the gold medal! he swiped his sport's top honour twice, winning olympic gold in 2000 and 200a. after those highs, he took himself to other extremes. together with ben fogle, he trekked to the south pole and hauled himself across the atlantic ocean. but while cycling in arizona, he suffered the accident that would change his life. a petrol tanker hit him from behind. cracknell sustained brain injuries that left him with epilepsy

and altered his personality. his sense of adventure, though, remained. neurologists are great people but if you listen to them too much, they'll set what they think you can do. if i said to them, "look, i want to go and study at cambridge and want to do the boat race", they will look at you, like, no. i think anyone who has had a tough time, then you need close people around you to challenge you. and also, set your own limits and work out how to get there. the journey from an arizona roadside to cambridge and onto the thames has taken in another challenge, crossing the arabian desert with the man he had been to the ends of the earth with. the ups and downs for james are so extreme. seeing his long—term recovery from that head injury, when everyone said he couldn't... that's the reason it makes me emotional, is i hate people who say that you can't. this year has been a very defining yearfor me, mentally. i think finishing it off, not finishing half of it off,

with the boat race, and the other half of course, i've proved a lot with the boat race, and the other half of course, i'll have proved a lot to myself and hopefully, answered a few questions. when he breaks water this weekend, cracknell breaks a record. the boat race's oldest man, crossing yet another new frontier. patrick gearey, bbc news. and the women's race underway here. you can see the crowds alongside the river. the men's race will start at ten past three. the course starts here in putney, with the record currently set at 16 minutes for the race. it is james cracknell that everybody is talking about. 13 years

since he retired from elite rowing, i sat with down with him a few weeks ago and he said, never mind the olympic gold medals and the world championships, it is the boat race today and that will mean the most to him, as you heard in patrick's report, he fractured his skull back in 2010 after being hit on his bike and neurologists at the time never believed that he would make this kind of recovery, it is an enormous achievement for him, he said it has been an extremely humbling experience studying at cambridge university, he said the first week people were interested in his experiences but then, it didn't really matter, and he was never guaranteed a spot on the boat. cambridge won both the men's race and the women's race last year and they will be hoping that they can do they will be hoping that they can do the same this afternoon with the help of james cracknell. all of that will be shown here on bbc one.

and there are the reserve races to come as well, and then the men's race as well. the headlines on bbc news... theresa may insists she had to reach out to labour in a bid to avoid brexit are slipping through our fingers. complaints about anti—semitism in the labour party after reports the party failed to ta ke after reports the party failed to take disciplinary action in hundreds of cases. charlie rowley, one of the people poisoned in last year's suspected russian chemical attack which took place last spring in salisbury, has met russian's ambassador here in the uk to try to find out more about what happened. but he says he didn't get any satisfactory answers. commemorations are taking place 25

yea rs commemorations are taking place 25 years after 800,000 people were killed in the genocide in rwanda. the president who led a rebel army which ended the fighting lit a remembrance flame at the kigali genocide memorial, where many of the victims are buried. charlotte gallagher has this report. this is the light! a flame to remember and reflect, a quarter of a century after one of the world's worst genocides. the people carrying the flames are all aged 25, too young to remember the mass slaughter. in 1994, there was no hope. only darkness. today, light radiates from this place. over 100 days in 1994, 800,000 men, women and children were murdered — many by militias armed

with machetes. the majority of those killed were from the tutsi ethnic group. most of the perpetrators were hutu extremists. child cries. those who survived the violence were forced to flee. 2 million people became refugees. the country will now mourn for the next 100 days, the time it took for one in ten rwandans to be murdered 25 years ago. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. there is fresh fighting on the outskirts of the libyan capital tripoli. on the way towards tripoli, there've been heavy clashes with forces supporting the internationally

recognised government. with me is our middle east analyst sebastian usher. first of all, quite a lot has happened in that eight year period, even though stability has definitely not returned to libya? yes, the attempt forcibly to goes back several years, when the government in tripoli now was set up by the un. but the trouble is that the way the country is divided between different malicious, different power bases, it's authority does not run very far and some people would say that the prime minister's authority does not run further than a few streets in tripoli so he is dependent on support from malicious, all of these played a big part in the battle against colonel gaddafi. the man who is taking him on, has his power base in the east, he took benghazi after a long siege, and he now controls it is estimated about two thirds of the country with his forces and he

launched this latest offensive just four days ago. presumably it would bea four days ago. presumably it would be a huge coup for him, to take control of the capital, but in practical terms, is there any group in libya which is able to enforce nationwide control? there isn't. i mean, his supporters would say that is the man, and there are outside countries which have sided with him, essentially putting their money on him, united arab emirates, egypt, russia, and other countries to some extent, in such chaos it needs a man like him, at least he goes out there and he takes places, but he also is relying essentially on malicious being allied with him. if he wants to ta ke being allied with him. if he wants to take tripoli, that is his genuine aim, his hope is that the militias will switch sides. i have spoken to people who think this is quite possible. as a military offensive in itself, he hasn't made very much

progress in these last four days, he is still pretty much in the same place, with heavy skirmishes again today, we have just place, with heavy skirmishes again today, we havejust had place, with heavy skirmishes again today, we have just had the place, with heavy skirmishes again today, we havejust had the un mission in libya calling for a two hour truce this afternoon. that's to allow, in the places where the fighting is heaviest, people to go in and get the injured and civilians out. we don't know the numbers of casualties so far. one figure from the libyan health ministry said about six people had been killed but who knows? there is random shelling happening and airstrikes from both sides. this is clearly not what britain, france and others were hoping for when they gave support to those trying to destabilise, ultimately successfully, mr gaddafi, eight years ago, but in terms of the state of the country now, it still has amazing resources, its people, although many became migrants to europe, but also, oil, of course.

the potential for the country must be considerable? that was the thinking. during the uprising and the outside countries which got involved felt that libya perhaps had a better chance than most of the other countries involved in the arab spring uprisings because of a small population and great reserves, but it fell to pieces, these militias continue to fight each other. what khalifa haftar‘s supporters say is that since he took benghazi, things have assumed a proper kind of order there. the kind of chaos in tripoli muscles although life goes on, you are always at risk of kidnap, it is essentially lawless. and they say that benghazi shows that when khalifa haftar goes in, he can bring law and order. an many others will say the price of this, the bloodshed, and allowing another man to ta ke bloodshed, and allowing another man to take such control, is not something which anybody should be countenancing. they depose one

strong man, do they necessarily want another? absolutely. but one of the big unanswered questions at the moment is, did he get the green light from his outside supporters, does he know something...? in light from his outside supporters, does he know something. . . ? in other words the russians, french and others? exactly. saudi arabia, there isa others? exactly. saudi arabia, there is a lot of speculation over the role they might have played, we know that across the region they have played a role in yemen and in syria and that has been mooted about what is happening in libya at the moment. fascinating stuff, thank you very much, sebastian usher. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said he will annex jewish settlements in the occupied west bank if he is re—elected. israelis go to the polls on tuesday and mr netanyahu is competing for votes with right—wing parties who support annexing part of the west bank. the settlements are illegal under international law, though israel disputes this. this is what mr netanyahu had to say. translation: you are asking

an interesting question, translation: this means, during your next government, you're going to extend settlement? i'm 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. three children's commissioner is in the uk have asked the united nations to investigate the use of physical 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. 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, and 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. our reporter alex strangwayes booth has been following the story for us. the idea is to try to gauge how bad the levels of expectation are in the car wash places across the country. the national crime agency has identified them as a place where exploitation is very likely so what the church of england and the catholic church have done is to design this app which you download and if you get to a car wash and you have some concerns, you and if you get to a car wash and you have some concerns, you can open and if you get to a car wash and you have some concerns, you can open it up have some concerns, you can open it up and in what ask you a series of

questions like, did you pay cash in hand, did the workers appear fearful, did they appear to be living on site? were their children working? and if you answer enough of those questions, it will then prompt you to call the modern slavery helpline. the idea is then that the agencies involved can step in and report it to the local police. the other areas 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 eye on nail bars as well. but 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. there did not used to be as many as there are now. so i think they are waiting to see how successful this app will be and then maybe looking at using a similar technology to log problems in other areas. kensington palace has disclosed

that prince william has spent the past three weeks working with britain's three security and intelligence agencies. 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. our 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's 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. let's ta ke let's take a look at the weather prospects with darren bett. to say the least it is a bit mixed, signs of hope, but also signs of the need to wrap up? that is about it, i think we have covered everything! it is going to get colder next week. there will not be a lot of wet weather and most of it will be

coming in across southern parts of the uk. this will be hanging around over the next few days. ahead of that, there is some brightening of the skies. still pretty grey and quite chilly across much of scotland. there is the showery rain, some heavy bursts through the likes of the fence, heading into the midlands over the next few hours. he's away from east anglia, some late sunshine here and you can see how the rain pushes across wales towards northern ireland. some brea ks towards northern ireland. some breaks in the cloud in the south—west. and some breaks across scotla nd south—west. and some breaks across scotland as well. there could be a bit of frost in scotland. otherwise, frost free. we have got a zone of cloud to the south of northern ireland, and that will produce some showers every now and again. every side of that, we should see some sunshine coming through which will give us a bit more one. not so for eastern scotland and north—east england, where it is still going to

be cool and cloudy and a little bit grey. the headlines this hour. theresa may has insisted she had no choice but to reach out to the labour party in a bid to deliver brexit, or risk letting it slip through our fingers. labour party handling complaints of anti—semitism, after concerns that it failed to handle properly. one of the people poisoned in last year's suppose alleged russian chemical attack in salisbury has met the russian ambassador to london to question him about the incident. now, it's time to look back at the week in westminster.
