those comments were recorded by hello this is bbc news. the labour mp dame margaret hodge. we spoke to her earlier, this is bbc news. here's what she had to say. the headlines at 12pm... i think we have got to such a point a leaked recording ofjeremy corbyn now that there is no alternative but reveals that the labour party lost, to have that independent misled or ignored evidence investigation of complaints, otherwise there will not be an of anti—semitism in the party. opportunity to start rebuilding the trust that we have lost in the system and in the leadership‘s handling of it. the labour mp who made our political correspondent, the recording, says the handling jessica parker, explained to me more of anti—semitic complaints should be about howjeremy corbyn is trying taken away from to tackle the problem of the party altogether. anti—semitism in the labour party. there is no alternative but to have that independent i think people will, potentially, interpret it in a couple of different ways. investigation of complaints, otherwise there will not be perhaps some people will look at the words he is saying and say an opportunity to start rebuilding that it is good that he is taking the trust that we have lost. a personal hand in trying teachers say there is increasing to tackle this issue, and it shows his personal commitment evidence that poverty is damaging to doing that. the education of children in the uk. and indeed the labour party, as you were mentioning before, are saying that this shows demonstrators in sudan say jeremy corbyn‘s desire to make they will not end their protests procedures as robust and efficient as possible and to rebuild trust

against the country's military until all their demands are met. with thejewish community. there has been a sharp rise however, others might look in the number of crimes involving at it and say, "well, dating apps and websites it is one of the starkest across england and wales. and relatively rather recent potential admission that maybe is the tiger roaring back? the complaints procedure isn't doing the job that it needs to do." tiger woods will try to win his and, interestingly, in a letter first major title for more to the sunday times today, than a decade as he enters the final seven labour mps, including round of the masters dame margaret hodge, are calling in second place. for a fully independent body, as they describe it, to deal with complaints of racism and at 12:30pm, click reports and harassment and bullying. from the vatican as the pope hosts and they say, in their view, a workshop on robot ethics the current complaints system is broken. and artificial intelligence. meanwhile, on brexit, jeremy corbyn has been holding talks with theresa may, and their associates have also been holding sort of separate meetings well behind—the—scenes. is there any news of any progress at all on those brexit talks? well, these talks have often been described by both sides as constructive and, from what we understand, they are going to continue a leaked recording of the labour into the easter recess. obviously, mps have now leaderjeremy corbyn has been gone on an easter break. released, in which he suggests david lidington, who has been heavily involved with these talks, the party may have lost, mislaid or ignored and of course theresa may's de facto

deputy, he has been speaking evidence of anti—semitism. to the observer newspaper today. his comments were secretly taped again, he describes the talks as serious and constructive. by one of his fiercest critics, he says there is more that unites them than divides the two sides, the labour mp dame margaret hodge, that they have similarities when she met him to discuss the matter. on things like wanting a close part of the recording has been economic relationship with the eu to protect workers‘ rights, released by the sunday times. and security as well. a labour spokesman said the recording showed jeremy corbyn‘s and they say that talks desire to rebuild trust will continue in the coming with thejewish community. days in good faith. but there is still quite a lot we can listen to part of that recording now... of cynicism, i think, around westminster as to whether the issues the two parties can really resolve, one of those being, of course, that the labour party policy is to be in a customs union with the eu, and the conservative government's policy is not to be in a customs union with the eu because they think that would severely limit the uk's ability to do trade deals with other countries. and of course that was seen by many of those who support brexit as one of the great prizes of leaving the european union. meanwhile, labour's leader in the european parliament has urged the party to back another brexit referendum, or risk haemorrhaging votes in the european elections.

richard corbett says labour would lose pro—eu voters to other parties if its manifesto doesn't guarantee a public vote on any brexit deal. labour's present policy is to keep all options on the table, including pressing for a further referendum. teachers say there is increasing evidence that poverty is damaging the education of children in the uk. the national education union says more pupils are struggling because they come to school hungry or without a good night's sleep. sarah walton reports. overcrowding in homes so children do not have space to do homework. children attending school with no coats, no socks and without other essential items of clothing. "most of my class arrive at a school hungry and thirsty. " some of the quotes from an online survey of more than 8,000 teachers. 91% of them said poverty was a limiting factor in children's capacity to learn.

ahead of its annual conference in liverpool this week, the national education union says its members are seeing more families struggling financially. and one school in watford says it's often left to them to help. we've had situations whereby parents have had maybe an oven stop working or a fridge stop working and they literally can't replace it. thankfully, we have quite a good network and find out things like that and then we're able to access from various charities, support for them, but it shouldn't be like that. the neu also says that the situation is being made worse by the education funding crisis which means schools and colleges can do less to counter the impact of poverty. the government says tackling disadvantage will always be a priority, and it's investing in free school meals for more than a million of the most disadvantaged children. sarah walton, bbc news. a woman remains in police custody following the death of a 10—year—old boy who was attacked

by a dog in cornwall. police were called to the scene at a caravan park in looe yesterday morning. the 28—year—old woman is being questioned on suspicion of manslaughter and having a dog dangerously out of control. the animal involved was described as a bulldog—type breed. the organisers of street protests in sudan have held meetings with senior military figures to demand civilian rule in the country. president bashir, who led sudan for almost 30 years, was ousted by the military three days ago. generals have promised a transition to democratic government within two years, but protesters have rejected the offer. dame rosalind marsden is an associate fellow at chatham house and the former british ambassador to sudan. she gave us her assessment of the stand—off in the country. i think we are at a very critical moment now in this political drama that is playing out in sudan. as you said, the forces for freedom and change which are a coalition

of opposition parties, professionals, youth movements, at the moment, have agreed to negotiate or to start talking to this new leader, general burhan, who has taken over as the head of the interim military council. and i think they will be testing him to see whether he is ready to agree to move swiftly to a civilian government which they would then restore freedoms, respect for human rights, and prepare for free and fair elections. they don't just want to see a change. bashir has gone after 30 years, that was a major achievement for the protest movement. but they don't just want to see a new general at the head of the regime, they want the regime and the whole system to go. and based on your knowledge of the country, how optimistic are you? well, i mean, we have seen really the whole population and whole

segments of society coming together over the last four months to press for change. i mean, this is really an expression of a culmination of anger that has built up over years which has related to, first of all, the war in darfur and in the mountains and the blue nile where the marginalisation of the populations there was at the root cause of the conflict, and the government has been using brutal counterinsurgency tactics. then there has been pressure from the opposition parties over a number of years for democratic transition because of lack of freedoms, and human rights violations. and then on top of that, there has been growing economic hardship. so all of this has come together since december in nationwide peaceful protests, and it really reached its culmination last week

when hundreds of thousands of people converged on the army headquarters to try and persuade the army to side with the people, which is what happened in 1964 and 1985 when previous popular uprisings overturned autocratic governments. so after 30 years of president bashir, you weren't entirely surprised that, in the end, he was toppled? well, i think it is a huge achievement for the courageous protesters and people power and the force of non—violent civic resistance that it was possible to topple him. because he had spent the last 30 years trying to coup—proof his regime to make sure that what happened to previous military governments wasn't repeated. so he had politicised all the state institutions including the security forces and taken control of key sectors of the economy. and it looked as if it was going to be incredibly difficult

for the opposition and the civil society and activists to prevail. but in the end, president bashir proved unable to deal with the protesters through security measures, he was unable to deal with the mounting economic crisis in sudan, and the protest movement has made great progress. but bashir has gone, but there is still a way to go before they reach, before they can achieve their demands for a full civilian government. dame rosalind marsden speaking there. one man has been killed in a drive—by shooting outside a nightclub in the australian city of melbourne. police say they're investigating possible links to biker gangs, which have been trying to extort money from businesses in the city. from sydney, phil mercer. police in melbourne for at least four people were hit by gun shots are fired at close range from a car

into a crowd outside the nightclub. a security guard died later in hospital, and another man in his 20s who was queueing up outside was seriously injured. the motive for the attack is unclear, but australian detectives are investigating possible links to motorcycle gangs and other organised crime groups. senior officers say there have been previous attempts to extort money from the nightclub. there has been a sharp rise in the number of crimes involving dating apps and websites across england and wales. an investigation by bbc radio 5 live found that around half the reported offences were sex crimes. the 0nline dating association says its members do all they can to protect users from harm. the programme's presenter adrian goldberg explained more about why the number of crimes have increased. we've analysed figures from 22 of the 43 police forces across england and wales who responded to a freedom

of information request. they showed that, in 2015, there were 329 offences reported to those forces related to online websites or dating apps. now, that 329 by last year had risen to 528 offences. so an exact doubling across those 22 police force areas. and overall, half of those reported or alleged crimes were sexual in nature. i should say as well, i hesitate to use the phrase ‘tip of the iceberg', but may i remind you, that is just half of the police forces who responded to our freedom of information request. large police force areas like the metropolitan police in london didn't respond. so i think it is reasonable to assume that the real figure of crimes associated with dating websites and apps would be much, much higher. but i suppose we need to put it into context, i mean, do we know how many people use these sort of dating apps? we have been speaking to a number of industry organisations.

one has told us that we have something like 10 million people across the uk who are signed up to dating sites and apps. and they point out that only a tiny number of people that use those sites are predatory in any way or are involved in any kind of criminal activity. nevertheless, there are victims‘ groups, victims‘ families saying that the websites could do more. for example, they could introduce criminal records checks to make sure that people who sign up to sites don‘t have a criminal history, particularly around issues of sexual violence or domestic abuse. the websites themselves though say that they don‘t have the authority to require that of people who sign up. nigeria‘s president buhari, has said he will not rest until the schoolgirls abducted by islamist militants from chibok are reunited with their families. his statement comes on the fifth anniversary of the kidnapping

by boko haram of 276 girls from their school. 60 girls have since escaped, over 100 more have been freed, but 112 are still missing. 12:16pm is the time. you are watching bbc news. you are watching bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... a leaked recording ofjeremy corbyn reveals that the labour party lost, mislaid or ignored evidence of anti—semitism in the party teachers say there‘s increasing evidence that poverty is damaging the education of children in the uk. demonstrators in sudan say they will not end their protests against the country‘s military until all their demands are met. sport and for a full

round up, from the bbc sport centre, here‘s holly. (1215 nc bulletin) we are now just we are nowjust minutes away from the final of this year‘s masters in augusta. 0pen champion francesco molinari will take a two—shot lead over tiger woods and the american tony finau. molinari holed four successive birdies on the back nine to card a 66 and finish on 13 under as he looks to win his second major. but the italian admits anything can happen on the last day. it is golf so probably the favourite is the golf course out there waiting for us. we are all very close, it is nice to be a little bit ahead, but you mightjust need one hole to change, you never know how it is going to go. especially around a course like this one. bbc two‘s live coverage will start at 1:55pm, while additional live coverage from amen corner, holes 15 and 16 and selected

featured groups will be available on the bbc sport website, connected tvs and mobile app from 12:30pm. there‘s also live coverage on radio 5 live from one o‘clock before it moves to five live sports extra at 3pm. world champion lewis hamilton has won the chinese grand prix. hamilton started from second on the grid but soon sped past his mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas and thereafter never looked like relinquishing the lead in formula 1‘s 1,000th grand prix. bottas finished second, while ferrari‘s sebastian vettel was third, but only after the team ordered his team—mate charles leclerc to let him pass. hamilton is six points clear of bottas in the drivers‘ standings. as a result of those ferrari team orders, vettel climbs above team—mate leclerc into fourth. max verstappen remains third. it‘s a huge day in the premier league title race with both liverpool and manchester city in action this afternoon. city travel to crystal palace whilejurgen klopp‘s side host chelsea later

in what is being billed as his toughest game in charge. it is not over yet, and we are very positive about it, the boys are positive, the training sessions are positive. it is all clear. but still it is so difficult, it is still so difficult. if you want to go through without difficulties, you have no chance. the nice thing about this game is it is not possible to play without mistakes. it is absolutely not possible to play football without mistakes so you don‘t have to worry about them, you only have to deal with them. and if something happens, we will make mistakes on sunday, 100%. we have to deal with it and sort it and help each other. and then we can win a football game. it‘s semi—final day of the women‘s fa cup. holders chelsea take on manchester city later this afternoon in a game you can see on bbc one from 3.30pm. by then, they‘ll know whether they will face reading or west ham in the final. that game will be live via the red button and both teams are playing in their first semi—final.

who doesn‘t dream at being at wembley, and for us as a group of players, it would really top off our season. players, it would really top off our season. we know that we have one more hurdle, and of the game is a game of football, it is not a case of we can claim the points elsewhere somewhere in the season. it is a one—off game and it is one we need to make sure we turn up and deliver. all eyes on norwich as they look to take a step closer to the premier league. they‘re in action at wigan athletic this lunchtime. the latics themselves are just a point above the relegation zone so a win is vital for them as well. but they do have a very good home record and are unbeaten in seven at the dw stadium. nearly 20 minutes gone and the score is still goalless it‘s the final day of the european gymnastics championships in poland. yesterday though it was all about max whitlock who claimed pommel gold. after a year of silver medals in 2018, the olympic champion once again took to the top spot on the podium

with this outstanding routine. he claimed his second european pommel gold medal. coverage of the men‘s apparatus finals begins on bbc two from 12:30pm. that‘s all the sport for now. i‘ll have more in the next hour. holly, thank you and see you later on. how many times have you gone to work when you‘re not really up to it? a new study has found more than 40% of employees said their work a figure that‘s risen by a third over the last five years. here‘s our business correspondent, emma simpson. sarah‘s main job these days is looking after her children. a decade ago, she was in engineering recruitment. i was 22. it felt exciting for me to be starting my career. i absolutely loved it, it was a greatjob. but sarah ended up having a breakdown, yet still felt under pressure to get back to work.

it was just quite surreal to be thinking, "0h, i probably have to go to work tomorrow," but i was sat in a hospital bed recovering and being told by doctors, "you‘re really seriously ill, you need to look after yourself. this is something you shouldn‘t be messing around with. you know, you‘vejust tried to take your own life". when you look back on it with hindsight you see, actually, if i‘d have been given a bit more time to become well before i had had a breakdown, i would have been in a better position to keep on working. if you break a leg, it‘s clear you need time off. having a mental illness or suffering from workplace stress can be harder to spot, but researchers found these are the biggest factors behind the growing problem of people turning up for work when they‘re not well enough to do theirjobs. basically did enough to meet the minimums. you know, to get by. dale hit rock bottom when he lost his wife

but his employer helped him including a fitness programme to improve his physical and mental health. overall, i feel better in myself. but how more productive do you feel at work? quite a bit, and i'm definitely a lot better than i was as far as my overall performance in myjob. dale works for dixons carphone. the company‘s been on a journey, too. we‘ve had to be careful about health and safety in the workplace but what we‘ve missed is mental well—being which is just as crucial as all of the other factors as well. people with poor mental wellbeing, they aren‘t as productive as people who are healthier, they‘re less robust, they take more time off through sickness, and they‘re less responsive and we need to help them. we need to help our workforces. good afternoon, thanks for calling technical support. my name is dale. it‘s worked for dale.

he‘s now earned his first ever full—time bonus so if other organisations really started to tackle this problem, might it help solve the uk‘s productivity puzzle where workers aren‘t nearly as efficient as they could be? absolutely. we believe the key issue to britain‘s productivity problem is due to presenteeism, where people are present at work but are not performing in an optimal way. sarah freelances now and is happy. she just wishes she was shown some compassion and flexibility when she needed it most. emma simpson, bbc news, colchester. severe weather in the southern united states has claimed the lives of two children in texas after a tree fell on the family car. tornadoes swept through the town of franklin, causing widespread damage. severe weather has also been affecting communities in neighbouring louisiana and

mississippi. we‘ve got about half of texas coming to help us. we have lost about half of the south side. we need all of the help we can get. we need somebody to get these people back cleaned up and get them back in their homes. visitors to london‘s kew gardens will get the chance to experience a different kind of flower this spring, thanks to a new exhibition by the american artist, dale chihuly. 32 sculptures have been installed around the gardens. our reporter wendy hurrell went to take a look, and to hearfrom the man who designed them. well, i love greenhouses, you know, and how can you not love kew? it‘s just the most extraordinary, with some 300 acres with all these greenhouses. it is notjust under glass that you‘ll find these reflections of nature. the cherry blossoms are out at kew gardens.

poking up out of the grass, not only tulips, but these amazing glass sculptures. this is just one of 32 installations across the gardens that are going to be here until the end of october. it‘s the work of artist dale chihuly, based in seattle. thousands of these pieces of glass have been carefully shipped over here and displayed for us all to see. sapphire star glints in the spring light. summer sun is framed by the lake and palm house. icicle tower alone is made of nearly 2,000 individual pieces of hand blown glass. because of the way they‘re packed and put into containers, containers very rarely getjiggled around very much, so there‘s very little breakage. yet that doesn‘t always apply in the studio that dale chihuly‘s wife manages. when the artist is pushing to the very limit what glass can do, are there designs that just don‘t work? absolutely.

i‘ve worked on things for months and then decided at the very end that it was a bad idea and had to break everything. that's a sad day. that is a sad day. it's a sad day when you have to break things you've made. but these seemingly fragile shards are now nestled amongst the budding plants. they're just even more beautiful and stunning in the landscape than we could have ever hoped for. i've got probably have a number of favourites. but i think the niijima floats in the japanese garden, with the cherry blossom out and the colours, with the pagoda in the background. kew gardens is hoping that the success of chihuly exhibitions across the world will be replicated here once again. wendy hurrell, bbc news. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with darren. it isa it is a familiar theme through today. most places dry on the chilly

side as well. but we are seeing more cloud around. one part of the uk that has been quite cloudy all day has been the south west of england. we have this area of cloud stretching from the south—west across wales and up towards northern ireland. that is not really moving very far, it is actually a weak weather front that is just stumbling into that area of high pressure. that is blocking things off on a drawing in at the chilly air. it is bringing us, early on the least, a lot of sunshine. that averages have risen so we have seen more patchy cloud developing, that is spreading out more and limiting the sunshine a bit during the afternoon. we still have the cloudy skies, strong winds we re have the cloudy skies, strong winds were northern ireland and towards the far south—west, perhaps one or two spots of rain. the odd shower possible around the north sea coast but on the whole it is a dry day. perhaps more cloud than yesterday. damages are struggling to around nine or 10 celsius. the cloud that does develop will tend to decay during this evening. skies will clear in many areas. we will keep cloudy skies for northern ireland across parts of wales and the

south—west, perhaps more rain as well coming in. there will be a touch of frost, more likely across northern england and scotland. not as widespread as recently because the winds will be strengthened, despite those clearing skies. temperatures shouldn‘t get white is low. there is more cloud in northern ireland, parts of wales, the south—west of england, the chance of more rain too. we will see cloud coming and bringing showers from the north sea. for all of us, it will be a windier day on monday. gales possibly for northern ireland and the south—west of england. together with the risk of rain. attempt is here 11 degrees. on the whole, the damages are a little bit higher than we have been seeing. the windier weather comes with the area of low pressure running close to the coast of the uk. this weather front that is bringing the cloud and rain sta rts is bringing the cloud and rain starts to push its way eastward. again, it is getting blocked off to a certain extent by the high pressure. we are not quite sure how far east it will get. they properly won‘t be a great deal of rain as it leaves northern ireland and gets to western scotland and england and

wales. there will be a lot of cloud around on tuesday. those damages continuing to creep up. warmer weather on the way as we get sunshine in the middle part of the week. great news if you are heading out and about over easter.
