an opportunity to start rebuilding it's the week in parliament the trust that we have lost. teachers say there's increasing evidence that poverty is damaging the education of children in the uk. two children have been killed in texas, after a tornado caused a tree to hit their family car. hello there, and welcome to the week in parliament, where there's anger at the prime minister over the further brexit delay. does my right honourable friend, the prime minister, appreciate the anger that her abject surrender last night has generated across the country? mps welcome plans to get tough with internet companies. for the sake of the family good afternoon. theresa may's deputy says both of molly russell and the victims the conservatives and labour will have to compromise, of christchurch, we must work if their continuing talks over together across this house to make brexit are to end in an agreement. sure that social media companies and tech companies are properly held to account. cabinet office minister david lidington insists a deal can get through parliament before elections for the european parliament on may 23rd. it comes as former conservative

leader iain duncan smith has warned tory activists have little appetite to campaign for those elections. he said holding them would be a disaster for the country. here's our political correspondent, jessica parker. westminster has seen rising tensions in recent times. now, mps have departed parliament for an easter break, urged to reflect on the current deadlock. but cross—party talks between the government and labour are set to continue this week. a man who is very much involved in those discussions, the prime minister's de facto deputy. he says an agreement hinges on both sides giving ground. while we will do our best to try and reach a compromise with the main opposition party, it would mean compromise on both sides. if that doesn't work, then what we will want to move towards is to put before parliament a set of options with a system for making a choice and parliament actually having to come to a preferred option, rather

than voting against everything. talks have been described as constructive but can a deal really be done when it comes to issues such as how to craft a future customs policy? there are fears in labour, too, that any compromise agreement will only survive as survive as long as theresa may's premiership. people are putting their best endeavours to work. but if come a change in the leadership of the conservative party, that may account for nothing and that's the worry. my colleagues are trying their very best to find a way through this so they can have those assurances that any progress that is made is embedded and entrenched in that way. theresa may, give us all a final say! a complication, too, for labour on what stance to take on another referendum, some mps clear that such condition must be attached to any agreement. it's clear that there is a mood in the party to accept

the deal that emerges, as long as it's put to referendum. that is, in a sense, the compromise. theresa may hopes a deal can be done in time to avoid participating in the upcoming european parliamentary elections but if it can't, a warning that the tory grassroots are feeling far from enthusiastic. we simply can't fight the euro elections. i gather dozens of conservative association members have now written a letter to the prime minister saying they are not going to fight the election. it would be a disaster for us and the country. what will you say on the doorstep? "vote for me and i'll be gone in three months?" mps may be on their easter break and brexit may have been further delayed but that deadlock remains. and jessica joins me now. what else do you have to tell us? what else do you have to tell us? what is interesting are these talks

between labour and the government have been going on for some time now, there have been to face—to—face meetings between jeremy now, there have been to face—to—face meetings betweenjeremy corbyn and theresa may and we know the talks will continue during the easter recess, and i think neither side wa nts to recess, and i think neither side wants to be seen to be walking away from things but difficulties remain, especially the issue of customs, so the labour party want to be in a customs union with the eu, many in the conservatives are against that idea, theresa may has said she doesn't want to be in a customs union, a feeling in the conservative party that it would make it difficult for the uk to strike meaningful trade deals if it was tied to eu customs rules and even if a compromise deal was reached, there isa a compromise deal was reached, there is a question of whether that would be acceptable to mps but also the party membership. what else has been

divided today? anti—semitism has surfaced again. long-running saga over allegations of anti—semitism and how they are handled by the labour leadership and what has emerged as a recording from february which has been published by the sunday times, a conversation between jeremy corbyn and the labour mp dame margaret hodge and in it mr corbyn talks about his plan to recruit the former chancellor lord falconer to review the party's complaints process. he will look at the speed of dealing with cases, the administration of them, the manipulation of the evidence, before it's put before appropriate panels and things. because i was concerned that evidence had either been mislaid, ignored or not used and i think we need a better system on it. 0k, yeah. jeremy corbyn saying he was concerned that some evidence may

have been misled or ignored. some people will say this is an example of him taking a personal interest in this and a labour party spokesperson said this showed his desire to make procedures robust and to rebuild trust within the jewish community but others might say this is the sta rkest but others might say this is the starkest admission so far, albeit made in private, that there is a problem with the complaints process. ina problem with the complaints process. in a letter to the sunday times, seven labour mps including margaret hodge are calling for a fully independent body to deal with complaints of racism and harassment and they say the current system is broken. dame margaret hodge spoke about this today. yes, and it's worth pointing out she has had a concerns about allegations of anti—semitism and how they are dealt with so we heard this from her

before and it's an issue she has been talking about for some time but it does up the pressure on the labour leadership to look seriously at this and lord falconer was potentially set to do some review, that was then seemingly put on hold when the human rights commission announced they would potentially hold an investigation into allegations of anti—semitism but it seems like it is an issue that is going away. thank you, jessica. -- not going away. teachers say there's 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 school hungry and thirsty. "

just 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, when we 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 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 one million of the most

disadvantaged children. sarah walton, bbc news. a woman arrested when a nine—year—old boy died in a holiday park dog attack has been released while inquiries continue. police were called to the scene in looe in cornwalljust before 5am yesterday morning. the 28—year—old woman was arrested three hours later on suspicion of manslaughter and having a dog dangerously out of control. in the past few minutes, police have named the boy as frankie mccritchie from plymouth. facebook users around the world are experiencing problems accessing their accounts after an apparent technical glitch. users are unable to log onto facebook, instagram or whatsapp. all three social networks are owned by facebook. thousands of users are reporting issues. there's 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. here's the programme's presenter adrian goldberg on 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 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. demonstrations are continuing in sudan following the ousting of the country's dictator, 0mar al—bashir, by a military coup on thursday. protestors are demanding an immediate move to civilian rule and have vowed to stay on the streets as a military council has now taken power. yesterday, the officer in charge said there would be democratic elections held within two years. three people have died after the vehicle they were travelling was hit by a car going the wrong way down a slip road in peterborough. police have arrested a man on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and driving while under the influence. he remains in a critical condition in hospital. 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. 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've lost about half of the south side of franklin. 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. the headlines on bbc news: the cabinet office minister, david lidington, says the government and labour will both have to compromise as they look to break the deadlock over brexit. 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. and at 2:30pm, we take a look back at the final week in the commons before easter recess with the week in parliament. 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 was being affected by health problems — 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, "oh, 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'd 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. i had several warnings, to be fair. 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 compa ny‘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. a night out clubbing is something that most young people take for granted. but for disabled people, just getting past the bouncer can be a challenge. stuart devlin has cerebral palsy and has been turned away from several venues, after being accused of being drunk. he's now had an id card printed to help door staff understand his condition. bbc scotland's nine news reporter michael mcewan went to meet him. one in five scottish people have a disability. let's have a party! one of them is 37—year—old stuart devlin. tonight he is in this club in barrhead, but not every night out is enjoyable. so, tell me about your experience by going out to a pub in glasgow?

am i right in saying this is not the first pub you've been knocked back from? few more. nightclub as well. hi, dougie, how are you? not too bad. i went to meet dougie graham, who works for a charity called c—change, based in glasgow. after he was turned away from the club, stuart asked dougie for some help. can you talk us through what really happened and why he approached c—change? when stuart spoke to me, he asked very directly that he wanted a card saying, this is the reason basically that

i might appear this way. the g2 in glasgow. around 200 people attend this club monthly. it is an inclusive event where bouncers trained to tell the difference between someone who is drunk and who has a disability. 0n the door tonight is matthew. we spoke to him about his experience of seeing people with a disability being turned away. i've seen it happen myself with numerous companies i have worked with before. and i don't stand for that at all because everybody is out to have a good night regardless of disabilities or whatever. from the bouncer‘s point of view, matthew thinks cards like stuart's are a positive sign. that gives us the knowledge that if anything was to happen inside, regarding a disability,

we'd be able to help them out and then rememberfrom having previous conversations with them what is wrong with them, how we can help them and as fast as we can help them as well. michael mcewan, bbc news. now, many of us are keen to recycle more, in order to help us be smarter with our resources for the good of the planet — but what is the best way to do that? in the swedish city of eskilstuna they have a unique and very colourful way of recycling, which is helping them to achieve very impressive results. the bbc‘s dougal shaw reports. rainbow—coloured rubbish. this is the colourful waste created by a swedish city with a unique recycling system. like many cities in sweden, eskilstuna has an impressive recycling record. it met the eu's 2020 target of recycling 50% of waste many years ago. but almost everyone who lives here follows a strict recycling policy at home.

people are expected to sort their household waste into seven separate categories, including food, textiles, curtains and metal. this is, of course, time—consuming and requires a bit of space in the kitchen. but what really makes this system stand out is the bright colour code. the reason for this becomes clear at the city's recycling plant. the bags arrive alljumbled up because they are collected all together once a fortnight from outside people's houses. but thanks to those bright colours, scanners can select the bags and separate them efficiently. the food waste in green bags is processed on site into slurry to make biogas which powers the city's buses. one of the benefits of this method of recycling is that there is less cross contamination, so more of the recycled waste can actually be used to make new things. we want to recycle much more material than are recycled today and we would like to change people's behaviour to do that.

like the rest of sweden, eskilstu na is committed to sending zero waste from its citizens to landfill. waste that cannot be recycled is incinerated at a local plant to generate electricity. this reduces reliance on fossilfuels, but does create greenhouse gases. as countries around the world try to improve their recycling rates, some may look to eskilstuna as an example to follow, as long as they think they can persuade their citizens to get busy sorting at home. dougal shaw, bbc news, eskilstuna, sweden. 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. 0ur 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's notjust under glass that you'll find all 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. 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 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. a plane with the world's largest ever wingspan has made its first successful flight. the stratolaunch is designed to act as a flying launch pad for satellites. its wingspan is the length of an american football field. it was funded by the late microsoft co—founder paul allen. ahead of the weather, a line from facebook, i mentioned those problems with people trying to access facebook, whatsapp and instagram. facebook, whatsapp and instagram. facebook site they are or were some people are having trouble accessing what they call the facebook family ofapps, what they call the facebook family of apps, unsightly are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. now, no problem accessing

tomasz schafernaker. he has the weather. i suppose that's one way of putting it! let's get on to the weather and plenty of cloudy skies across western parts of the uk... in the east of the country there is a bit of bright weather around, temperatures struggling under north sea coast, around 6 degrees on the very coast inland, up to around 10 degrees, whereas overnight with the clear skies at the temperatures will dip away, not as cold as last night when it was around minus five celsius, tonight in a rural spot it will be about —i or —2, then tomorrow western areas cloudy with a few spots of rain in parts of cornwall, 14 in london and edinburgh so cornwall, 14 in london and edinburgh

so seeing milder air and the weather is always on the up this week.
