this is bbc news, i'm shaun ley. the headlines at four... the government insists theresa may had to reach out to labour in a bid to find a way forward on brexit. it has angered some conservatives. working withjeremy corbyn is not something i want to do at all. it's not something the prime minister wants to do. but far worse than that would be to fail to deliver on brexit. labour defends its handling of complaints about anti—semitism after reports that the party failed to take disciplinary action in hundreds of cases. commemorations have taken place in rwanda today to mark 25 years since the genocide in which around a tenth of the population was killed. prince william has completed a three week stint working with the intelligence agencies. cambridge have beaten oxford in the

men's and women's boat races. former olympian james cracknell men's and women's boat races. former olympianjames cracknell became the old est olympianjames cracknell became the oldest competitor in the history of the race. i have missed this, i haven't felt like this for 20 years of! and a lot of other people around, which is good. we started great and just didn't great and then theyjust didn't drop, they hang on really well. coming up in half an hour, we will be in dubai to see how the next generation is preparing for the world of work, that's in half—an—hour, talking business. 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 this the stalemate 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. 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 do 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 that the eu would want to have an extension.

i would think that they would want to avoid no deal. on the other hand, the other side of it is, they will 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're not seeing any element of compromise from the government. we're hopeful that will change over the coming days, and we'll consider any proposals they put to us if they come near to the objectives that we're 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, stopping brexit, 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. but it will be a matter that we consider very

carefully at the time, 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 we can to avoid a no deal situation, and it's something that 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 in another round of votes? brexit divisions have become entrenched — overcoming them won't be easy. we've been to the city of ripon in north yorkshire. its mp is the conservative chief whip julian smith. you may recall, just a few days ago he openly criticised cabinet ministers for their ill discipline during the brexit process. we asked his voters what they thought about the prime minister engaging in brexit talks with the labour leaderjeremy corbyn. you know, if they can actually come to some compromise with the deal and actually agree, then i think that's all to the good. disgusting. he's a communist and they should

just come out of the eu, just walk away without a deal. well, it's wrong, isn't it? they're supposed to be opposition, aren't they, against each other. and like they say, it doesn't sound a very good... i wouldn't want him to get into power, i think we'd all be in a worse way than they are now, really. but ijust wish they'd decide something, it's like playground, isn't it, really. well, i think it's like desperation, isn't it? i think they're as confused, the whole lot are as confused as me, in the conversation, you know, the whole brexit debate. i think it does seem like so much of brexit is the 11th hour, and it feels like a last resort, which kind of highlights maybe the tories‘ self—agenda, ithink, around brexit. but i think it's a welcome move. i think brexit is not a tory brexit, i think it should be a cross—party discussion. i think they should all be working together on something like this, when it comes to such a big decision. and they shouldn't be bickering between each other because if they can't agree with each other, then how are they going to agree with anything?

it's dreadful now, absolutely dreadful. it's beyond a joke, i think. sorry, go on. it actually puts you off thinking about, why bother voting? because you're not going to get the outcome, are you, so what's the point? i'm not bothered as long as she can do the job. actually, i voted to remain, i think maybe people have changed their mind a little bit who voted as regards leaving, because there'sjust no end of the road here. we can talk to nick eardley, our political correspondent. you can sense the frustration there among some of the voters, whatever they view they had in the referendum, that must be multiplied many times overfor that must be multiplied many times over for the politicians, trying that must be multiplied many times overfor the politicians, trying to grapple with what appears to be a gordian knot, something you can't actually break open and get to where you want to be? i think that is right but one reason we are still in that position is because the opportunities mps have had to compromise, there hasn't been enough room to compromise, to get something

through. we have had two rounds of indicative votes where things got close to having the majority but never quite got there. so what labour and the conservatives are hoping is that there is something that they can figure out over the next few days, that would allow them both to agree a way forward. the big stumbling block is the customs relationship, as we heard in the piece there. the labour party want a customs union, the conservative party says, look, it might not be a customs union but it does many of the things you are hoping it would do. weather that is enough i'm not sure. we will see over the next few days weather there is more movement. it could be that it is just semantics, there's looking for words to basically say it is something new when actually it is not, they have both realised they asked daring into an abyss and it is not a path they wa nt to ta ke an abyss and it is not a path they want to take so they will agree something, or are people actually not as optimistic as that in

private? there are some people including in parliament who are dying to get this done and i suspect would go quite far towards compromise to make sure that happens. but there are also some people still completely wedded to their position, and although we've seen divisions between labour and the conservatives, there are huge divisions in parties themselves, too. so, theresa may knows that if she pivots towards a closer relationship with the european union, perhaps through a customs union, that will absolutely infuriating many of her brexiteer backbenchers. we have heard from some of them this morning, we saw the former brexit secretary dominic rab writing in the mail on sunday, that the potential benefits of brexit, many of them would be lost if that happened. on the labour side, 80 mps waiting tojeremy corbyn this morning to say, don't agree to anything that doesn't include another referendum. so, although there might be some room for manoeuvre between the leaderships, potentially some room

for compromise, incredible pressure there as well. and remember, both party leaders won't want to do something if they can't take a large chunk of their party with them. nick ea rd ley, chunk of their party with them. nick eardley, thank you very much. charlie rowley, who survived the poisoning in salisbury which killed his partner dawn sturgess, has met with the russian ambassador in 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. charlie rowley and his brother matthew spoke to the sunday mirror after their meeting with the ambassador. he is saying they don't produce it in russia any more. he kind of kicked around the answers. the czech republic and america are the ones that are producing at. and did he deny all knowledge about russia's involvement? yes. did hejust

say...? well, involvement? yes. did hejust say. . . ? well, that to involvement? yes. did hejust say...? well, that to his involvement? yes. did hejust say. . . ? well, that to his knowledge, he didn't know much about it, it was just what he was able to read in the papers. 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. this afternoon, at its annual general meeting, members of the jewish labour movement have voted overwhelmingly againstjeremy corbyn in a confidence vote of his handling of anti—semitism within the party. speaking before that vote, the shadow attorney general shami chakrabarti, urged them not to "personalise the issue and make it about jeremy corbyn". 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, or an inter—factional 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 not to go, "oh, the tories have got a problem with islamophobia..." we've 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, the national secretary of the jewish labour movement, peter mason, said jeremy corbyn has not done enough to tackle the problem. so, thejewish labour movement a few months ago made the heart—wrenching decision to refer the labour party to the equalities and 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 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 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? ajewish muslim a jewish muslim women ajewish muslim women conference gets under way today in london. one of the overall goals of today has been to produce a list of demands about what government and political parties need to do to tackle both anti—semitism and islamophobia. our correspondent has been at the university of westminster in central london and she told me about what those attending the conference hoped to achieve. this morning they heard

from the queen note speaker cressida dick and also from rachel riley, the countdown presenter, who has been speaking about anti—semitism. one of the people who has beenjoining the conference, the third annual conference, the third annual conference, has been a campaigner from hope not hate, the antiracism campaign group. why was it important for you to come along today?|j campaign group. why was it important for you to come along today? i think what is really special about this is that it what is really special about this is thatitis what is really special about this is that it is real women getting involved, not just that it is real women getting involved, notjust the same campaigners. these are people from communities all around the uk standing up and saying it is time to connect, 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 jewish women who get together and meet to discuss different issues. obviously, both communities since the last annual conference have had their own tragedies, the pittsburgh shooting in a synagogue and also the christchurch shootings

in the mosques. how have these cha pters in the mosques. how have these 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? all kinds of responses, what is amazing about this is real friendships have sprung up, we have whatsapp groups for most of the chapters, so immediately the news breaks, we havejewish people reaching out to muslim people, and muslim in reaching out tojewish women, to express condolences. that is on women, to express condolences. that isona women, to express condolences. that is on a personal level. but also at the conference this morning, took time to mark the victims of both atrocities and we had all the names of everyone who was killed in those two atrocities on the screen while we took a moment's silence to think of them. do you feel that the conference this year feels pertinent, have you seen any changes in anti—semitism or islamophobia in the experience of your chapter or in your experience? i think both anti—semitism and is because phobia are on the rise along with a lot of hate which is bubbling up underneath

across the country. —— and islamophobia. i think what is different this year is a renewed energy to get out and do something about it, we have to do something, and that is why we started the active allies of campaign, it is time we stand up and make a difference, not just by time we stand up and make a difference, notjust by speech but by action. our main headlines... theresa may insists she had to reach out to labour in a bid to deliver brexit or risk letting it slip through ourfingers. brexit or risk letting it slip through our fingers. the brexit or risk letting it slip through ourfingers. the labour party has been defending itself over complaints about anti—semitism. commemorations have been taking place today to mark 25 years since the genocide in rwanda in which about a tenth of the population was killed. time for the sport now, as we join lizzie greenwood—hughes. thank you.

it isa lizzie greenwood—hughes. thank you. it is a busy weekend of sport. the second fa cup semi—final is underway at wembley, watford against wolves affect fa ns at wembley, watford against wolves affect fans expecting a much tighter and more entertaining match than yesterday's i—o and more entertaining match than yesterday's 1—0 win for manchester city against brighton. it is goalless at the moment at wembley, 15 minutes gone. the winner, of course, will play city in the final on 18th may. justé league. the two sides in the premier league. watford have never won the fa cup, wolves have won it a few times but not since 1960. arsenal missed out ona not since 1960. arsenal missed out on a chance of going third today after they were beaten by everton. it ended 1—0 at goodison park. at goodison park, it feels like they are turning a corner. everton came into april on the back of two straight wins and it has put hopes of seventh, and europe, within reach. arsenal are fourth but they are still the only top tier side

without a clean sheet away from home. with one long throw, everton exposed those fears on the road. arsenal's brittle defence left phil jagielka free to score. he was only starting because of a late withdrawal. this was a contribution no—one expected. arsenal's only win away this year has come at huddersfield. and despite changes at half—time, this was starting to look costly. there is only three points between third and sixth, so slipups like this can cost a champions league place. it was everton pushing for more goals and this below par showing from arsenal was heading for defeat. it was a lifeless performance and it means the top four is out of their hands again, while everton are moving upwards. rangers have narrowed the gap to celtic in the scottish premiership with a 3—0 win at motherwell. scott arfield put them in front.

motherwell were the architects of their own downfall again six minutes before half—time, giving it away on the edge of the area, and scott arfield was again on hand. he then completed his hat—trick after the break. jermain defoe set him up. rangers are second, 11 points behind their big rivals. cambridge have won both the men's and the women's about race today. the men's team, including james cracknell, held off a late push from oxford to win by two seconds. we can go live to the river thames now. let's just two seconds. we can go live to the river thames now. let'sjust talk about the men's race first. another win for cambridge and just a brilliant performance by the 46—year—old james cracknell? brilliant performance by the 46-year-old james cracknell? alan a really exciting afternoon here and as you say, it is james cracknell that everyone was talking about. at 46, that everyone was talking about. at a6, he became the oldest man ever to compete in the race. he has won two olympic gold medals, six world

championships, but he said that none of that compares to winning here this afternoon. this is what he had to say after the race. i've missed this, i haven't felt like this for 20 years of! and a lot of people around, which is go! we had a great start and then theyjust didn't drop, they hung on really well. we we re drop, they hung on really well. we were convinced that our rhythm was faster, actually, it was pretty much the same speed because our sprinting is faster this is going to be a humdinger all the way and if we got a length, that was your margin of victory, and then when we went over the line, i thought i would be doing that re—row, to be honest to the margin of victory for the women was different, eleanor? yeah, notjust a good win for cambridge in the men's, but oxford were also well beaten in the women's race as well this afternoon. a really, really good win for cambridge there, too. cambridge winning all four races this afternoon, taking their lead of 8a

wins compared to 80. thank you. that is it from me. there will be more sport here at 5.3 zero. a sombre ceremony taking place today in rwanda, 25 years after the genocide which cost the lives of 800,000 people, a tenth of the country's population. president paul kagame, 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 the genocide. the people carrying the flames are all aged 25, too young to remember the mass slaughter. in 199a, there was no hope.

only darkness. today, light radiates from this place. over 100 days in 199a, 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.

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 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, which are 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. sir ian mckellen and gillian anderson are among the stars who'll take to the red carpet at the royal albert hall in london this afternoon for the olivier awards. the annual ceremony celebrates the best of british theatre. on the red carpet for us is our

reporter thomas magill, and it is already looking quite busy absolutely, a very wet red carpet, i have to say. the rain is off at the moment but i think everybody here is hoping it is going to stay like that. it has the theatre industry, 3a million seats sold across the uk, generating over £760 million in box office sales, for london alone. another £500 million in box office that's why awards ceremonies like this one matter so much to everyone involved in the theatre industry. who are the front—runners? this year we have got something old, stephen sondheim's company, from the 1970s, which has been given a makeoverfor the west end last year, that is up for nine awards, including best supporting actress in a musical. and then there is something new as well,

sean faldo, which has picked up a handful of tonys, and it has transferred to the phoenix in london and it has also picked up nine awards. those are the big budget hits. and it is notjust those big ones which might be in for a good night tonight, the musical six, written by two mates for a little show at the edinburgh fringe, it was picked up there and transferred to the west end, and that is up for five awards tonight. so it could be a really interesting show, i think no matter what happens tonight, the focus for everyone here is to get from this red carpet into the royal albert hall and stay as dry as possible coming i don't blame you, and it looks like the showers are p°ppin9 and it looks like the showers are p°pping up and it looks like the showers are popping up all over the place this afternoon. who are the big names that the audience here are going to be looking out for arriving this evening? absolutely, well, the west

end stage doesn'tjust attract evening? absolutely, well, the west end stage doesn't just attract the best of british talent, but also actors and actresses and indeed there was from behind the stage as well from around the world. patti lupone is up for an award, she is one of the nine awards for company tonight, we believe she will be here, one of our own, sir ian mckellen, is nominated for best actor, this will be his 11th nomination. also here will be gillian anderson, the great and the good, but also this is a platform for those behind the stage and also some of the newer people starting to make their mark in the industry. i mentioned the musical six, and for two of the six queens who play the wives of henry viii, this will be their first west end gig, wives of henry viii, this will be theirfirst west end gig, so not bad to be possibly picking up an olivier giroud tonight! yeah, i heard them talking under the radio over the weekend about the impact of this decision to choose the story of the six wives of henry viii for the

musical and the reaction it had at the edinburgh festival and now, here they are in the albert hall. but what is the state of british theatre at the moment, is it thought to be as well—set, people talk about it as as well—set, people talk about it as a choppy period for the economy, as perhaps it might be? well, it is actually getting a bit of a revival, and do you know, i mentioned earlier there was concerns that maybe numbers and seats sold might take a bit of a battering with brexit, dare i mention it, but that hasn't materialised, 3a million tickets sold in the last year and that is not just from sold in the last year and that is notjust from people here in london, but across the uk. so, what we're seeing, actually, is a lot of shows opening on broadway, here, but we're doing pretty well the other way around as well. we have a number of shows which opened here in london in the west end which are now playing on broadway. so i think it's a good relationship and one which is seeing

us relationship and one which is seeing us punching well above our weight internationally. and i think we are just seven days away from the opening night for glenda jackson and her astonishing performance as king lear which wowed audiences in london last year and is going to be doing the same i'm quite sure on broadway. have a lovely time on the red carpet tonight, stay dry if you can! he's the indian film actor whose global fan base runs into the billions and visiting the uk this week, the bollywood superstar shah rukh khan has been honoured with a degree for his work in philanthropy from the university of law in london. in an exclusive interview with the bbc, khan says gender inequality in india in the workplace is narrowing and that he's seen a positive change in roles and salaries within the indian film industry since the "me, too" movement began. bbc asian network's shabnam mahmood reports.

known as the king of bollywood, shah rukh khan is one of indian cinema's biggest stars and one of the highest—paid actors in the world. more used to receiving film awards, he's now being given an honorary doctorate for his work in philanthropy. thank you very much. genuinely, i want to live to be 100 years so that i can... now i'm 50. ..i can dedicate the next 50 years doing something worthwhile. and, you know, when i meet people around the world, i meet some youngsters, some old people, they will turn around and they say, "you know what, yourfilms make us happy." and that is very encouraging but i want to make people happy now, personally. over the years, he's championed equality for women. so, have things changed in the industry following the "me, too" movement, which saw women standing up to sexual harassment globally? the roles of women and the kind of attitude that you have at workplace 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, which i think should be even more equal than it is right now, i think it's very heartening.

however, there are some things shah rukh khan feels don't 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 filmmaker wants to disturb the sensibilities of the audience. but i don't think any law or rule is outdated, i think of course you'll have to keep on refurbishing them, and 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 a sexy father, sexy hero, whatever you want me to be. shabnam mahmood, bbc news.
