good evening, and welcome to bbc news. the prime minister is to launch a last—ditch attempt to gain approval for her brexit deal, with what she calls a "bold offer" to labour and conservative critics. writing in the sunday times, theresa may says mps should look at her withdrawal bill, the legislation needed to take britain out of the eu — "with fresh pairs of eyes". but the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, says he does not think the bill will be "fundamentally any different" and therefore his party won't be supporting it. our political correspondent ben wright reports. the ayes to the right, 286, the noes to the left, 344. mps have already rejected theresa may's brexit deal three times, but the prime minister plans

a final throw of the dice before she quits number ten. the deal agreed with the eu will not be reopened, but writing in the sunday times, mrs may promises a new bold offer to mps across the house of commons, with an improved package of measures, that she believes can win new support. theresa may's offer to mps so far lacks any detail. but it will not for instance include a referendum, something many labour mps want. one cabinet minister said measures including extra guarantees on workers‘ rights should secure labour support. we do, in many ways, agree. none of us want to remain in the european union, none of us want a no—deal brexit, which means logically there has to be a deal, and if there's going to be a deal, the labour and conservative position are about half an inch apart. last week, jeremy corbyn pulled the plug on talks with the government, today he was reluctant to say whether he wanted brexit to happen or not. he certainly sounded sceptical about helping theresa may get the withdrawal agreement bill into law. we haven't seen whatever

the new bill is going to be yet, but nothing i've heard leads me to believe that it's fundamentally any different to the previous bill that's been put forward, so as of now, we are not supporting it. theresa may says she will make her big offer in a speech later this week, and her hope is to win over enough labour mps to offset opposition from her own side. but few here think of that is likely to work — tory resistance seems to be growing, and breaking the deadlock in parliament looks as hard as ever. you all right? and look who's making hay out of that. polls suggest the brexit party is surging in the european elections being held this week. their new recruits sell a simple message. we have one clear aim, and we are not going to muddy it with a whole lot of others. we have one clear aim, which is to deliver the result of the referendum, the second reason of not having a manifesto is you know, they are rather discredited. while labour says another referendum should be an option, there is no ambiguity from parties

campaigning to remain. if the government is going to bring the withdrawal bill before parliament, what we have said is if they attach a confirmatory referendum to it, we will support it. others fighting for remain votes on thursday say there is no time to hold another public vote before october the 31st, the latest brexit deadline. at the beginning of these european election campaigns, we had time to provide for a people's vote on what happens on brexit, which would take at least 5—6 months. we now no longer have the time to do that by the 31st of october. the stalemate here and the government's failure to get a brexit deal through parliament have led to this week's european elections, and the chance for voters to have a say on the state of brexit. our political correspondent ben wright is with me now. what to this build offered be? it is getting quite a billing and the prime minister runs the risk of letting everybody down. i think

she'll be talking to her cabinet on tuesday, ask them to sign off the package and eventually make a speech within a day, flashing all of this out. there are lots of clues, rory stewart gave us some of them, i think there will be stuff around protecting workers' rights, something that labour had ice force. there will be stuff around the environment. i imagine that will also be an effort to try and reassure mps that parliament will have a say in working out what the next phase of negotiations will be about and likely will have a voice throughout that process. there may be an attempt to clarify exactly what britain was my cars will be during those negotiations. this is the stuff of huge controversy, never mind the issue of whether there should be a customs union after brexit, something labour has been demanding, number ten has totally resisted giving any clarity to

labour on that front. the government have abandoned having a meaningful vote on the deal itself. what are the withdrawal agreement will seems to do is ratify the deal, to put it into law and theresa may is hoping that by coming up with his offer and these new reassurances around the deal that they can get some labour mps to break ranks withjeremy corbyn and about with the government to get this over the line because they feel there are enough labour mps and leave supporting seats who just want brexit to happen and they wa nt to just want brexit to happen and they want to look them over. thursday, european election, which we were not meant to be taking part in, who is looking forward to it and who is dreading it? nigel farage is looking forward to it tremendously. i think the green party is looking forward to it and i think the lib dems are looking forward to it too. vince cable has had an absolute left, he

was meant to be out, but the lib dems will be looking to mop up a lot of remaining looting supporters who wa nt of remaining looting supporters who want another referendum, to go with the party of remain and are getting quite hacked off that labour's position was unambiguous. jeremy corbyn comment on the one hand and saying that labour want a better brexit deal than the governments. on the other hand, saying that they would like a confirmatory referendum. this is meant to talk to both remainders and levers but people may get fed up with out because they may lose remain supporters to lib dems and other parties. how do you get from where we are now, where theresa may and others in the party saying that brexit must be delivered, and the

liberal democrats into their supporters, they are still up for a second referendum. it is quite a lea p to second referendum. it is quite a leap to get from one to another. getting to a referendum has always been difficult in parliamentary terms. the government has to believe in the necessity for another referendum and parliament has to look to let through. at the moment, the numbers are not there, there is certainly no government willing to go down the referendum result. if this bill does include its first hurdle in the commons, second reading, you will see loads of amendments bolted onto it in the remaining weeks. surely one of those amendments will be for another referendum giving mps and the chance to vote for it. if it falls at this first hurdle, there is no brexit legislation available. that is why lots of mps are talking about the very real possibility of a no—deal brexit in october, we are about to head into the summer recess, it is going to be damaged by a tory

leadership campaign. there is no legislation for mps to try and block that legislation so we can come back from the summer recess and be held up from the summer recess and be held up against another very tense moment in westminster. ethnic i notice you infora in westminster. ethnic i notice you in for a confirmatory? that is the difference between us. then, thank you very much. we will find that help this is covered in the front pages in the papers tonight. joining us as pages in the papers tonight. joining us as martin lipton and john rental. security sources in egypt say at least 17 people have been injured in a blast appearing to target a tourist bus. the attack happened near the new egyptian museum close to the giza pyramids. the sources added that ten of the wounded are egyptians while ten are south africans. they have been taken to a nearby hospital, and they are all in a stable condition. ranyah sabry from bbc arabic is in cairo, and she gave us this update. the explosion was due to a primitive ied or improvised electronic device

that went off when the bus was passing and shattered the glass, the majority of the injuries, all of which are light, were caused by the shattered glass. seven are tourists from south africa and the rest are ten egyptians, passers—by or people who were in a car next to the bus when the explosion happened, and it occurred close to the grand egyptian museum which is still under construction and will be opened officially in 2022, but part of it remains to be opened for tourists. things have moved from the egyptian museum in tahrir square to the grand egyptian museum, this is why the tourist bus was in the area. the new national rail summer timetable has come into effect today , with train companies say they're making every effort to avoid the chaos of last year's shake—up. public transport campaigners have

warned that "robust contingency plans" are needed in case the changes do cause disruption. our business correspondent katy austin reports. train companies are adding new services each year to provide for an increasing number of passengers and boost the economy. today's timetable shake—up makes space for 1000 additional services across the country. but these changes are on a far smaller scale than last may. then, a huge overhaul of timetables resulted in chaos for passengers on the northern and govia thames link networks in particular. rail operators will be monitoring this summer's timetable change carefully and they say they can respond quickly if there are any problems, adding that extra staff are on hand to support passengers. train companies and network rail have emphasised that they learned lessons from what happened last summer and have been working together to put those lessons into practice.

they highlight the new winter times, introduced in december, which were deliberately scaled back as a successful example. the group representing passengers says those paying to travel deserve, this time round, to go smoothly. we'll know, really, by the end of the morning commute on monday, that's the acid test when this is really seem, whether it works or not. sunday is a bit of a trial run. monday morning, d—day, really, for commuters. let's see what happens. we'll be there watching on behalf of passengers to see what is happening and seeing how good the information is in particular. last summer's rail chaos led to apologies from the transport secretary and an official enquiry. the disruption is still fresh in the minds of commuters, who will be expecting a far less stressful experience when they return to the network in their millions on monday morning. katie austin, bbc news. a 16—year—old boy is said to be in a stable but serious condition after being shot in the leg in sheffield. emergency services were called just after midnight in the the spital hill area of the city. police investigating the shooting have appealed to people who heard or saw anything to come forward.

more than 50 migrants have been found in the english channel travelling towards the uk during the weekend. at around 4am this morning, border force was alerted to a small boat in uk waters heading towards dover. 13 people were recovered, claiming to be iraqi and iranian nationals. a separate incident took place five hours later, a boat was intercepted which contained 19 people. a home office spokesman said that anyone crossing the channel in a small boat is "taking a huge risk". 48 flights at manchester airport have been cancelled and many more are facing significant delays after a power cut affected the ability to re—fuel planes. all fuelling on site has currently stopped and there are reports that passengers have been stranded on grounded aircraft for a number of hours. some flights are still landing and taking off but there is still no confirmation on when the issue will be resolved. us president donald trump has come out in support of "pro—life" views on abortion amid controversy surrounding changes to the law in several states.

this year alone, eight have voted to either ban abortions — or further restrict the time limits on when they can take place. anti—abortion campaigners say they want the issue pushed to the supreme court, where they hope judges appointed by republican presidents will overturn a landmark ruling that legalised terminations. our north america correspondent chris buckler reports. the battle over a woman's right to an abortion is being fought across the states, and there may be no issue more divisive in a country already split apart by politics. should a child, a life inside a mother's womb, be killed due to the actions of its parents? on friday, missouri passed a bill that stops a pregnancy from being terminated after eight weeks unless there is a medical emergency. there is no exception allowed for cases where the mother has been the victim of rape or incest. any time we are so disrespectful

and immoral that we would force a woman to bring to life a child that is the result of a rape and incest or of sex trafficking — we are not thinking about life. just days earlier, alabama put in place a law that is even stricter. protests were held as they voted to outlaw all abortions at any time unless a woman's life was at risk. the president knows that evangelical christians are among his strongest supporters. it was obvious as he campaigned in 2016. do you believe in punishment for abortion, yes or no, as a principle? the answer is that there has to be some form of punishment. for the woman? yeah, there has to be some form. those views seem to be stronger than the law in alabama which makes carrying out the abortion a crime for the doctor, not the mother. but in a tweet, donald trump has

said he is strongly pro—life with three exceptions — rape, incest and protecting the life of the mother. that may be a sign that he is worried this issue could influence some voters in next year's presidential election. we are at a point where a number, it is notjust alabama, this has happened in ohio, this has happened in missouri, this happened in georgia. there is a law that has been passed in michigan that the democratic governor is going to veto. this is happening across the country and people need to know what's really going on here — this is a violation of civil rights. republicans seem determined to push this issue in individual states in an attempt to get america's abortion laws challenged here at the us supreme court. more than 45 years ago the famous case, roe vs wade, established a woman's right to choose an abortion, but donald trump has appointed newjustices that have given this court a conservative majority, and members of his party want to test the law again.

chris buckler, bbc news, washington. the headlines on bbc news: theresa may says she'll be putting a bold offer to mps on brexit — butjeremy corbyn believes there wont be anything new. security sources in egypt say at least 17 people have been injured in a blast appearing to target a tourist bus. the new national rail summer timetable has come into effect today — train companies say they've learned lessons from weeks of chaos on the network last summer. sport — and for a full round up from the bbc sport centre. here is a hue. england's cricketers have sealed a 4—0 series win over pakistan as the build up for this summer's home world cup.. stays perfectly on course. england posted another high score of 351, before their bowlers also made a strong impression, as they sealed a 5k

the european parliament elections are coming up next week, with uk voters heading to the polls on thursday. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, has previously said she wants another referendum on the uk's membership of the european union. speaking to andrew marr, she said that her party had tried to encourage the discussion of alternatives to a hard brexit. we did, fora we did, for a period, although we a lwa ys we did, for a period, although we always did say that thing in the eu was our always did say that thing in the eu was oui’ preference, always did say that thing in the eu was our preference, that is what the majority of people in scotland blunt at 34. i make no apology for what i hope is reasonable, we try to see if whether staying in the eu it wasn't possible, if single market, customs union membership could be an alternative to a hard brexit. but neither of the main uk parties were prepared to talk about that

seriously. and now it is possible to keep the uk and scotland in the eu andi keep the uk and scotland in the eu and i do think putting the issue back to the people is what should happen. this week, we will be continuing our series of interviews with meps and leaders from the main parties standing in the european elections in a special ‘ask this.‘ you can send us your questions to put to them. tomorrow, we'll speak to conservative mep ashely fox and vince cable the lib dem leader. then on tuesday we're interviewing gerard batten the ukip leader and on wednesday it will be the turn ofjohn healey from labour and adam price the plaid cymru leader. details of how to get in touch are on the screen. indian prime minister narendra modi and his bjp party are heading for a second term in office — that's according to exit polls. voting has ended in the seventh and final phase of india's general election, the world's biggest exercise in democracy. 900 million people were eligible to vote. our correspondent, sangita myska, has been following developments from delhi as the first exit polls came in. exit polls come with health warnings, they

are not always reliable. the way in which they are done is literally someone standing outside with a board outside a polling booth, asking people what they voted, and therefore, there can be vast variations. having said all of that, three out of four of the biggest exit polls are showing that narendra modi, the incumbent prime minister, is likely to be re—elected in 2019 and likely to be able to form an absolute majority government. in 2014, he became the first prime minister in about 30 years to be able to do that. if he repeats that success, clearly, that is going to be a huge coup. this has been the most divisive, bitter, fractious elections that india has seen in many years. the question is, why? principally, because of this general election has been less about issues and more about having a referendum on prime minister modi. he, of course, is from the bjp party, they are hindu nationalists. what his critics will say is that over the past five years, he has failed to deliver on really big things.

there is a stumbling economy here, growth is clearly slowing down, there is a big problem ofjobs, unemployment is at the highest it has been for 45 years. farmer distress, a huge problem is farmer suicides, thousands and thousands across the country in the last five years but very little discussion of that. his critics say it has all been drowned out by the bjp's identity politics, in other words, they have made great play of caste and religion in this country. the critics will tell you that, as a result, india is very slowly india is very slowly inching away from its secular constitutional basis. but mr modi's supporters will tell you that he is the only man that can deliver sustained development in this country across the board and that is going to be showing up in the south of the country, that has been unresponsive in the past to the bjp. they will also tell

you that he is the only prime minister that will be able to take india out of the embedded corruption that has dogged this country for many many years. those results are going to be counted on thursday and that is when we are going to get the actual result and will know who indians have voted for and who they want to govern their country over the next five years. this week, bbc news will be focusing on stories about middlesbrough and the people who live in the town. we are middlesbrough will run from tomorrow with live broadcasts and special reports across the bbc‘s tv and radio outlets, and online. to introduce the week, bbc tees presenter, and the bbc editorial director, kamal ahmed, have been asking local residents how they think the bbc should be reporting middlesbrough. hello and welcome to bbc tees for ourfirst ever we our middlesborough. let's start off by asking you, how you think middlesbrough is

portrayed in the media. the negative side has been more focused on, and in terms of the disadvantage of middlesbrough, rather than reporting from the positive side of it. if you were running bbc news for the day, which frankly you almost will be, what would you like us to be doing? even though the town is classed as a deprived area, it is still a busy place. there are shops closing down, but there are still a lot of shops that are open and doing well, but they are not going to do well if people think that everywhere is closing down. can i bring you in? how has the view of the town changed over time, and over your life of living here? there is more history in middlesbrough than people actually realise.

if iron ore had not been found on the moorsjust outside, they wouldn't have been any british steel. it is now the entrepreneurs that are driving middlesbrough. it isjust a shame that some of the older buildings have been demolished. tell us a bit about the middlesbrough town you know, and some of the stories that flow from that experience. a small town with less than 140,000 people. but we have lots and lots of people who work collaboratively together, and are very passionate about where they live. i want to show that young people in middlesbrough are trying their best, despite all of the problems, despite all the issues they are facing in their day—to—day life. they also achieve quite a lot. is there enough here for keeping people engaged? there are jobs here. they need to be suited to all young people,

so a lot of young people are wanting different career paths and there isn't much opportunity. there is a lot of retail, voluntary work. there are charities, but we are a deprived area, we manage with what we have got. funding is getting cut, so people think there is nothing here and there won't be any money, we will be unemployed, so they are looking elsewhere because they want a successful life, notjust for the meantime. what i would want to showcase would be if the diversity that middlesbrough has. it has one of the highest number of asylum seekers per population so that is a lot of support for people that are fleeing persecution, fleeing violence in their own countries, and i would love to see the support that the town provides for those people. i think we have got a long list of things that we can try and get through and think about which ones we can pick on. i look forward to reflecting on what you have spoken to us about, and giving some

coverage to this great area. thank you. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello there. we have seen quite a bit of cloud around today and some showers. similar weather picture really as a started out the new working week, temperatures in the next few days not doing too badly. back to the showers, we had seen heavy ones forming in a line around dorset across parts of the midlands across lincolnshire, and these have been caused by a converging winds. that is the wind kind of bashing together in this zone, and the air is forced to rise and that's where we had seen these heavy downpours along this line of convergence. underneath those, heavy showers we have seen torrential downpours actually across parts of the midlands. and also reports of a funnel cloud into lincolnshire, so storms have been pretty active today. overnight tonight, many of the showers will fade away. it stays quite murky across some of the east coast with more foggy patches for eastern england, and eastern areas of scotland. and a few showers continue across the northwest.
