theresa may promises mps she will offer them a "new and improved" brexit deal. she wants them to look at her plan with fresh eyes — but already, jeremy corbyn says he believes there will be no fundamental change. as parties campaign for the european parliament elections — nowjust four days away — we'll have the latest. also tonight: as a new rail timetable comes in, passengers are advised to check before they travel tomorrow. mourning a lost son — emiliano sala's family tell the bbc they feel he was abandoned. abortion and american politics — how president trump's intervention could set the stage for next year's election. and leaving on a high — vincent kompany announces his departure from manchester city.

good afternoon. good evening. 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. 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 opposition leader jeremy corbyn says he does not think the bill will be "fundamentally any different" and therefore, labour won't be supporting it. here's our political correspondent ben wright. 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 confirmatory referendum, something many labour mps want. one cabinet minister said measures including extra guarantees on workers‘ rights should, though, 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 positions 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, and 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're not supporting it. theresa may says she'll 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 that is likely to work — tory resistance seems to be growing, and breaking the deadlock in parliament looks as hard as ever. when do we want it? now! and look who's making hay out of that. polls suggest the brexit party is surging in the european elections being held this week. what we want is to get this agony over with. what we want is to leave. what we want is to get on with the rest of our lives. that is what the country wants. many remain voters are mobilised too, and while labour says another referendum should be an option, there is no ambiguity from parties

campaigning to stop brexit. we've had two and a half years of disastrous negotiation. we're now confronted with the possibility of a no deal, which would be catastrophic for the country. it's absolutely clear that no brexit is where we should be going. others fighting for remain votes on thursday say there's no time to hold another public vote before the latest brexit deadline, and say parliament should revoke the process. 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 five to six months. we now no longer have the time to do that by 31st october, when we're due to crash out. 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. benjoins me now. there's european elections being a few days away brings this into sharp

focus. it does and the two main parties are braced for a tough time. these elections come three years after the referendum, two months after the referendum, two months after we were meant to have left. the irony is that for the first time in british political history, these are european parliamentary elections really being fought on the issue of europe and britain's relationship with the eu. labour are trying to keep their leave and remain supporters on board, said jeremy corbyn says he will get a better than the government, but keeping the option of a referendum. it's an ambiguity that is causing a lot of labour mps concerned, because they worry that the many parties campaigning clearly for a referendum will scoop up a lot of labour support. for the tories, this is a surreal nightmare, this set of elections. they can see steaming towards them nigel farage in the brexit party, who looked poised to get a lot of disillusioned leave supporters behind them. if the polls are rightand supporters behind them. if the polls are right and the brexit party do as well as we think they will, that is really going to shake the arguments around the tory leadership contest thatis around the tory leadership contest that is coming round the corner,

whether theresa may gets her plan through parliament or not. ben wright, thank you very much. rail passengers are being advised to check before they travel for tomorrow morning's commute — the first working day after the introduction of a new national rail summer timetable. train companies say they're making every effort to avoid the chaos of last year's shake—up. 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 1,000 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 thameslink networks in particular. rail operators will be monitoring this summer's timetable change carefully and say they will respond quickly to any problems, adding that extra staff are on hand to support passengers. train companies and network rail

have emphasised that they have learned lessons from what went wrong last year and have worked 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 by the end of the morning commute on monday. that's the acid test when it is seen whether it works or not. sunday is a bit of a trial run. monday morning is d—day for commuters. let's see what happens. we'll be watching on behalf of passengers, seeing what's happening and 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.

today at least appears to have gone pretty smoothly, introducing more services on a largely old rail network is a big challenge. the rail operators and the department for transport were stung by the mistakes that happened last year during a big, radical change all at once, and have adopted a far more cautious, slower paced approach this time round. that doesn't mean passengers won't notice. the timetables will look different. for people travelling in the west midlands region, for example, of the people taking south—western services in and out of london. but the message is that passengers should check before they travel. and katy, away from rail, problems have been reported at manchester airport? that's right. an earlier power failure has resulted airport? that's right. an earlier powerfailure has resulted in problems with aircraft fuelling, and that has had a knock—on effect with delays and cancellations. the latest update we have is 69 cancellations in and out of manchester airport. those are towards the end of today and early into tomorrow morning.

there is no clear idea of when those problems will be solved and things will be back to normal, but they advice is for passengers to check with their airline before they travel. katy austin at london's euston station, thank you. border force officials have intercepted two boats carrying 32 migrants in the english channel. the first vessel was found at around 4 o'clock this morning heading towards dover. all those on board the boats said they were from iraq or iran. family and friends of the argentine footballer emiliano sala — who died injanuary — have told the bbc they feel he was abandoned when he was killed in a plane crash over the channel. at the time, he was transferring from the french club nantes to play for cardiff city. those close to him say they feel he was already a cardiff city player. the welsh club insist the transfer was never completed. wyre davies has been speaking exclusively to the footballer‘s parents. the death of emiliano sala in a

light plane crash at the end of january shocked the footballing world. among those at his funeral in argentina were officials from sala's new club, cardiff city. the 28—year—old was the player who could of had hoped could save their season. of had hoped could save their season. but no sooner had his body been found, recriminations began. cardiff refused to demand from na ntes cardiff refused to demand from nantes for the first instalment on sala's £15 million fee. in the provincial town where sala grew up dreaming of becoming a footballer, feelings are running high full almost everyone here believes that at the time of his death, emiliano sala was a cardiff city player. they saw pictures of him signing his contract. they heard the cardiff city manager neil warnock at this very ground, describing sala as "my player". sala's best friend now bears a permanent dedication to the football a's memory. he wants accountability for his friends

death. much of the anger is directed at arrangements for sala's last fateful journey. at night at arrangements for sala's last fatefuljourney. at night in bad weather and with the pilot, david ibbotson, who it appears wasn't qualified to make the flight. his body has never been found. one of the hardest decisions a pilot takes is making the decision not to go. it's a single engine flight over a long stretch of water in winter at night in icy conditions. i think most pilots would not have done that flight. most pilots would not have done that flight. as more details emerged about the flight, at home in argentina, there was indignation.

horacio sala sadly died a few days after he spoke to us. nantes insisted they supported sala throughout his career. cardiff city said they offered a seat on a commercialflight, said they offered a seat on a commercial flight, but he declined. but ina commercial flight, but he declined. but in a statement, the club said the status of the agreement between the status of the agreement between the two clubs is clear. emiliano sala's mother has urged the two clubs to resolve their dispute. wyre davies, bbc news. there's more on this story — emiliano sala: a family's search for truth — on bbc one wales tomorrow night at 8.30 — oryou canfind it on the iplayer after that. president trump has said that he has "pro—life" views on abortion, amid controversy surrounding changes to the law in several us states.

this year, eight have voted to either ban abortions — or further restrict the time limits on procedures. another four states have attempted bans or restictions since mr trump was elected — but the measures have been blocked. anti—abortion campaigners say they want the issue to reach the supreme court. here's our north america correspondent chris buckler. in state after state, america's laws are being challenged. in a battle over what many women regard as their right to abortion. and with court challenges planned and an election looming, it's one of the most divisive issues in a country already ripped apart by politics. two decades ago, president trump was quoted as calling himself pro—choice, but his position was very different by the time he reached the campaign trail in 2016. many of his supporters were and remain christian evangelicals, and as he ran for the presidency, his

position aligned with theirs. do you believe in punishment for abortion, yes or no? the answer is that there has to be some form of punishment. for the woman? yeah. however, in a tweet, donald trump has now clarified that he is strongly pro—life with three exceptions — rape, incest and protecting the life of the mother. that is a more liberal position than the law some in his party have been voting for. should a child, a life inside a woman's womb, be killed due to the actions of its parents? in the last week alone, two republican—led states, missouri and alabama, passed new, stricter legislation. neither of the bills had exceptions for cases where the mother had been the victim of rape or incest. the fact that donald trump is marking his view out as different might be a sign that he is worried about how some voters will react, particularly women, ahead of next year's presidential election. certainly, the democrats seem determined to

make abortion a key issue in 2020. this is happening across the country, and people need to know what's 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 v wade established a woman's right to choose an abortion. but donald trump has appointed newjustices that have given this court a conservative majority. what they are going to do is, they are not going to outlaw abortion, but they are going to make it so difficult to get. ahead of 2020, on abortion and so much else, these states could hardly be less united. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. it's been a weekend of elections. in india, polls have closed in the world's largest ever election process.

900 million people were eligible to vote, with results expected later this week. exit polls suggest prime minister narendra modi's ruling bjp is on course to win. in australia, prime minister scott morrison has been celebrating what appears to be a surprise general election victory. full, official results haven't yet been declared, but mr morrison's coalition is just a few seats short of an outright majority. the opposition labor party — which polls had suggested would win — has already admitted defeat. austria is heading for a snap election after a corruption scandal caused the collapse of the coalition government. the deputy chancellor — and leader of the far—right freedom party — resigned after a video emerged in which he promised government contracts to a woman posing as a russian oligarch. as voting takes place this week in 28 european countries — there are new warnings about the economic outlook for the region — including from within its largest and most powerful economy. german manufacturing has been hit by weaker global growth —

with one leading adviser to its government telling the bbc that instability in the italian banking system could risk another eurozone crisis. our economics correspondent dharshini david reports. as voters prepare to head to the polls across europe, the prosperity of 512 million people is at stake and the economic climate is clouding over. in italy, they're struggling with a banking crisis and to stay out of recession. france is facing the disruption of the gilets jaunes protest, and the uk is grappling with prolonged brexit uncertainty. but it's here in germany that they saw a shock slowdown last year, led by manufacturing. today's mercedes cars are a direct descendant of karl benz‘s first fuel—powered automobile, designed in 1885. it's an example of german industrial success, built on precision engineering, a high—skilled workforce and a supportive government. now, the industry faces challenges,

for example, weaker overseas demand and those trade tensions as well. that's weighing down the sectorjust as this manufacturer is trying to persuade customers around the world to buy his kitchens. it is sort of a challenge, but the decision is not monthly or yearly, it's one decision in 15 or 20 years. so it may be delayed a little bit here and there. but overall, i think the global economy will support the kitchen business, at least. despite his hopes, most factories are seeing orders slow. in germany, manufacturing is roughly a fifth of the economy, about twice as much as in the uk. so its problems are expected to drag german growth down to just 0.5% across 2019, despite a good performance in other sectors at the start of the year. that reduces the forecast for european growth to 1.4%, similar to the uk's. one of germany's top economic adviser says the problems go

beyond his country's borders. we also see that some risks in the european economies are manifesting, particularly italy. next week's elections are not only politically important, they are also important regarding the prospects of the italian economy. how concerned are you about the fate of the european economy as a whole right now? i am very much concerned about what is going on in italy. the banking system in italy is not as safe as we might hope for. there is the potential for contagion. so this might look like a new euro crisis. these risks mean a trickle of unease is flowing into public sentiment across europe, even though wages are generally rising. and it's the outcome of these elections that will shape future fortunes and relationships. dharshini david, bbc news, southern germany. with all the sport now,

here's karthi gna nasegaram at the bbc sport centre. good evening. england's cricketers have completed a 4—0 series win over pakistan. the 54 run victory came in their final one day international before the world cup starts later this month. patrick gearey reports. the next time you see england cricketers cross the boundary, they will be walking into the biggest tournament of their lives. they will be favourites for their home world cup. after four years in which they've notjust raised the ceiling of one—day batting, but at times, smashed the roof in. whether it's eoin morgan orjoe root, this is a team that seen scoring runs all over the place. today, they threatened another monumental total, but sometimes the higher you aim, the wobblier the foundations. after they went for 84, others followed. england stalled, and still scored 351. somehow. amid the exclamation marks, the questioh mark is around england's bowling.

here's chris's answer. the first of three wickets in his first two overs, pakistan steadied themselves, but were then spun off course. this was cricket's equivalent of a backheeled finish. adil rashid brought about the final whistle too. england take the series 4—0. next up — world cup. patrick gearey, bbc news. celtic have been celebrating winning their eighth scottish premiership title in a row. two goals from mikeyjohnston gave them a 2—1win over hearts as they finish the season nine points clear of second placed rangers. it's celtic‘s 50th league title. a last minute penalty sparked emotional scenes at kilmarnock as they secured third place and a europa league spot with a 2—1win over rangers. aberdeen finish in fourth, but could still qualify for europe depending on the result of the scottish cup final. manchester city will celebrate winning a treble of trophies this season with a bus parade tomorrow, but it will be the last time vincent kompany will be involved as a player. the 33—year—old described his decision to leave city after 11 years as the ""most passionate,

yet rational" decision. kompany will become player—manager at anderlecht, the club where he started his career, as katie gornall reports. at the heart of this thriving city, there has always been a solid kompany. there has always been a solid kompa ny. yesterday's fa there has always been a solid kompany. yesterday's fa cup was the tenth and final honour of his time at manchester city, a team that finished the season with all three domestic trophies. it's the best tea m domestic trophies. it's the best team in the world for me. to set such a high standard for such a long period of time, i am talking not just one year, but two years running. what a privilege. the morning after salivating the trouble, he told the wealthy would be leaving. in a statement, he said, it still doesn't feel real. he joined the club back in 2008, a week before the takeover by the abu dhabi —based sheikh mansour which will transform city. in 2012, he became the first city player to lift a top

division trophy in 44 years. but perhaps the kompa ny division trophy in 44 years. but perhaps the kompany moment which will live longest in memories happen inside his final two weeks at the club. oh, my goodness me! it won the game and put kompany into premier league folklore. vincent kompany has enjoyed one of the great premier league careers but his influence extends far beyond the pitch. in his time here, he set up a charity to help manchester's homeless and is also donating all the proceeds from this testimonial. everyone loves him and everyone respects him. been a perfect captain. biggest contribution any player has made to the club. his next step will be to retrace his first footballing steps. he is going back to his boyhood club anderlecht to be player manager. city will miss a part of their modern soul, but kompany says himself, this is no goodbye, it's a see you later. there's more on the bbc sport website including the latest from the us pga championship, where brooks keopka is closing in on his fourth major title in two years. mishal.

that's it from us this evening. a first look at tomorrow morning's newspapers is coming up on the bbc news channel. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are.

hello. this is bbc news. now, back to the news that 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. earlier, i spoke to pro—choice campaigner dina zirlott. she was raped when she was 17, and forced by alabama law to give birth to her daughter, zoe lily — even after the unborn baby was diagnosed with a terminal condition. she died 18 months later. i asked her what she thought the restrictions on abortions should be in the us. i believe that's something to be discussed between a woman

and her doctor, between couples experiencing crisis pregnancies and their doctor when it comes to matters of late—term abortions. and i believe that whenever we go forward making new laws, if that becomes the case, those doctors should be intimately involved with those discussions. because, at the moment, i see people who have no qualifications and no experience in women's reproductive medicine trying to regulate it. some pro—life supporters believe that abortion is tantamount to murder, and there are women in alabama who support that view and are supportive of these restrictions that are being talked about. how do you convince them that their view is incorrect? i believe that whenever

you come to another person with an opposing opinion, if you are open... it takes two people obviously. you both must be open to a conversation, you both must be hoping to engage in compassion for each other and understanding for one another. my personal opinion, how i come at it is just having a conversation, sitting across from those people and explaining my story and other women's stories and the legitimate nature of our decisions. and making an easy access point for empathy. regarding president trump's statement saying that he believes there are some instances where abortions should be permitted — how might that change the path that alabama seems to be on? i suppose we'll see.

i know that when i was at the senate hearing and the topic of incest and rape and how women would be forced to carry the product of incest and rape, the way they tried to ignore those cases was by saying that it's so rare and so exceptional, it's in such a small percentage of women that experience it. they say that so they don't have to address the reality, my reality, or validate my voice. i can assure you, my reality does not feel exceptional. going forward, we'll reallyjust have to see how that plays out. it's going to take continued momentum and visibility, and the pro—choice movement continuing to speak out.

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 we start off 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 north—west. it will not be a cold night though with all of the cloud around. temperature is between 8 and 11 celsius. it seems on monday for many of us they will be a pretty cloudy start of the day, mist and fog patches are lifting, and although for most of us dry through the morning, the afternoon and will see further showers develop, and we are going to have a couple of these convergence zones that are expected to set up across eastern scotland and running down into the eastern parts of england. so those are the zones where you are most likely to see heavy showers. they will be thundery and slow moving in nature. there could be one or two elsewhere, for example, in parts of wales and northern ireland. between the showers not feeling bad with the sunshine, temperatures reach a high of 20 degrees. from monday and tuesday, we have a weak weather front moving its way into northern scotland, that will bring a change in the weather here with the rain. high pressure begins to build in further west bringing some quiter weather.
