so theresa may had to ask for more time from the eu. can happen more than once. the rules don't set any limits. so we now have a new deadline. october the 31st. but if the extended article 50 period ends with nothing still finalised, then the uk would leave the eu with no deal. all the laws that govern the relationship between the uk and the eu would disappear overnight. the other option is to revoke article 50, withdraw it altogether. that would cancel brexit and mean the uk remain in the eu on the same terms it has now. the uk has the right to do that on its own without the agreement of other countries. supporters of brexit say that would betray the referendum result. 17.4 million people voted to leave. critics say people now know far more about what leaving the eu really m ea ns far more about what leaving the eu really means and they deserve another say at a referendum. all the while the article 50 clock takes on. one day we will have to stop. that won't be the end of negotiations. whatever article 50 eventually produces, much of the

that crosses over some of the red lines theresa may has set in the red lines theresa may has set in the past. so pivoting for theresa may. chris grayling, the transport minister, leaving number ten. a brexiteer. ben wright is outside downing street. what did you make of that statement, and any ministers saying anything? no, they aren't. they are getting into theircars and no, they aren't. they are getting into their cars and swiftly disappearing. a big contrast to theresa may's last statement a fortnight ago where she aggressively blamed parliament. david gauke, are you happy with the statement? not a word from him. he's one of the cabinet ministers who has been warning the prime minister about the risks of a no—deal brexit and has been public about his concerns at making it clear that he would potentially walk out of the cabinet if it embarked on a no—deal brexit. he is presumably quite pleased with how the prior minister is going to tackle the next couple of weeks. in contrast to her statement two weeks ago where she blamed parliament for this gridlock, saying they needed to pass the deal and

so theresa may's cabinet is close to splitting now. split inside the conservative party more generally between those who are happy with no deal, who can live with it at least, and those who definitely want to be as close as possible to the eu. and, as close as possible to the eu. and, as you said earlier, that would restrict, the closer we are, the uk it is, it would restrict the uk's freedom to have trade rules with the other nations thereafter. thank you. we will have more on this later in the programme. there is more to unpack. we will revisit the story in the business briefing. let's now turn to what's going on elsewhere. president recep tayyip erdogan‘s governing party has lost control of several big cities in local elections, including the capital ankara. it's a poll that's being seen as a referendum on president erdogan‘s leadership. in istanbul, both the opposition and ak party have declared victory with the tally still very close. mark lowen reports from istanbul. there is a saying in turkish — whoever wins istanbul wins turke

so parliament tonight if they find a majority could come up with the idea of a soft of bricks but theresa may would have to sign up for that and it seems very unlikely that she's going to do so because she's always followed the course of a harder break so to please the hard line us in her party so theresa may could try again to bring back a vote or head deal i'm sorry for the fourth time this week but it remains that parliament is extremely divided on the issue the government in itself is divided and it seems very it seems more and more likely that there could actually be a no deal breaks it so a chaotic breck's it on april twelfth that at the deadline at the moment or the other option is set to resume a goes back to brussels and asks for a very long extension and the european union would have to sign up for that charlotte pots in london thank you. for adding to ukraine now where a comedian with no political experience has secured a strong lead in the first round of the country's presidential elections followed amir's the lenski is now likely to face incumbent go in a runoff in three week

so parliament tonight if they find a majority could come up with the idea of a soft of bricks but theresa may would have to sign up for that and it seems very unlikely that she's going to do so because she's always followed the course of a harder break so to please the hardliners in her tory party so theresa may could try again to bring back a vote or head deal i'm sorry for the fourth time this week but it remains that the parliament is extremely divided on the issue of the government in itself is divided and it seems very it seems more and more likely that there could actually be a no deal breaks it so a chaotic breck's it on april twelfth that is the deadline at the moment or is the other option is that a reason make goes back to brussels and asks for a very long extension and the european union would have to sign up for that charlotte pots in london thank you. it's volodymyr selenski the dark horse candidate celebrated his big win with a party at a trendy kiev nightclub a location that underscores his popularity with young voters. the forty one year old capitalized on frustration over

so. theresa may reaches out to opposition leader jeremy corbyn to holding a private meeting right now in hopes of breaking the briggs's deadlock. come back come sam is a band this is al-jazeera is new show from doha coming out. not about overkill. we won the battle the but we still have to win the war celebration in the streets of algeria after the resignation of the president by our country's political future remains uncertain the money laundering trial of malaysia's former leader. pleads not guilty over the disappearance of millions from the state fund. us democrats about to vote on a bill demanding the public release of the entire report outlining the investigation into possible russian collusion with the trump election campaign. an extraordinary meeting is underway in the houses of parliament london where the british prime minister is attempting to break that deadlock to resume a is sitting down for talks with rival labor leader jeremy called with the hope of finding a common approach to leaving the bloc corben as previously called for closer economic ties with the e.u. or parliament

so theresa may laying out a strategy here asking the european union for another extension until june thirtieth and her strategy being the ongoing negotiations with the government and the labor party they are hoping to find across party consensus here some common ground on how to move on with this process and if those talks were to fail she is saying in that letter then she would go back to parliament and hold so-called indicative votes let parliament decide on the way forward and find a path forward in that regard so she's asking for that extension until june thirtieth but with the option if the withdrawal agreement is passed to leave the european union so the u.k. wouldn't have to hold european elections on in may so she's laying out a strategy there but she's not presenting the solution and the question is whether the e.u. will grant that extension on those grounds. exactly tell you telling to you in brussels not all twenty seven members of the e.u. have to approve the extension and we're already hearing conflicting comments that countries like france the netherlands and germany no

so, theresa may knows that if she pivots towards a closer relationship with the european union, perhaps union, that will absolutely infuriating many of her brexiteer backbenchers. we have heard from some of them this morning, we saw the former brexit secretary dominic rab writing in the mail on sunday, that the potential benefits of brexit, many of them would be lost if that happened. on the labour side, 80 mps waiting tojeremy corbyn this morning to say, don't agree to anything that doesn't include another referendum. so, although there might be some room for manoeuvre between the leaderships, potentially some room for compromise, incredible pressure there as well. and remember, both party leaders won't want to do something if they can't take a large chunk of their party with them. nick ea rd ley, chunk of their party with them. nick eardley, thank you very much. charlie rowley, who survived the poisoning in salisbury which killed his partner dawn sturgess, has met with the russian ambassador in london. after the meeting, which was set up by the sunday mirror newspaper, mr rowley said

hopefully, so the uk, in their eyes, leave before may the 23rd. in order to do that, theresang to seek a compromise in talking to labour and also reaching out to other parties, perhaps even go back to parliament to see if there is an idea that they can collect around that might prove a majority of them having said all that, we have been talking about consensus for some time now and it still seems far off. alex, thanks very much. alex forsyth in westminster and adam fleming in brussels. so, theresa may faces more talks with the labour party, further votes in parliament, and another eu summit next week. our reality check correspondent, chris morris, has this assessment of the hurdles ahead. so, things are, to put it mildly, a little fluid. we know talks between the government and the labour party are continuing, to try and find a last—minute compromise, but there is not an enormous amount of confidence that they will succeed quickly. they are supposed to lead to further votes in the house of commons, to try to pick a winner from a number of options, which could include the prim

so you now seem positioned for continued friction and frustration over fiscal policy. well here we go again the u.k. is looking for another delay on brags that prime minister theresa may will request a new deadline of june thirtieth when she meets with the e.u. leaders today for an emergency summit in brussels so this friday is the new brags that deadline the march twenty ninth deadline that was obviously missed u.k. prime minister theresa may will now ask that briggs it be delayed until june thirtieth but there is a problem here you see the new brigs a deadline april twelfth this friday was decided upon because it is the latest point at which the u.k. must declare its intention to stand in european parliamentary elections or not if the u.k. is still an e.u. member state on may twenty third that it must feel candidates in that poll joining me to break it all down richard wolffe professor of economics at the university of massachusetts amherst and also the author of democracy at work a cure for capitalism richard welcome. thank you very much glad to be here so let's begin here theresa may is going to ask for this delay until june thirtieth but it looks like the e.u

all of those rejected so theresa may today has a cabinet split.hose who are pressuring her and they're in the majority of the moment, pressuring her to leave the european union next friday without a deal, with all the impact that would have on business in the uk and europe, and those others within her cabinet that are pressuring her to go for a longer extension, perhaps bolting on to something like the customs union which lost by three votes in that indicative vote last night. it's not clear where this is going to end today. the possibility of resignations from within the cabinet, a possibility of a snap election, the task for the prime minister having to decide, going down to the line at some point over the next ten days before britain is supposed to leave the european union. something will have to become clear. maybe later today. we have said that before. >> we have indeed, the closer we get, the murkier this one gets. nic robertson live in london. >>> global stocks are mostly high after strong manufacturing data from china. you can see shanghai

so far there's been no change in those red lines. but is rushing to a customs deal with labour makes sense now, why has theresa may avoided it for so longs in the reluctance on her own site. she's always promised she wouldn't take that step. can she will win round the cabinet now? the trade secretary liam fox isn't the only one who would say no. even though, as ever, there are other members of the government to com pletely members of the government to completely disagree. who would try many doors to find a way out of all of this. the talks between the tories and labour are genuine. both sides want to know if they can find a way to get through that place. but they wander separately if the other side is serious. they are a long way from a full—blown partnership. these are nervous first dates between the two. again, this week, eu leaders will discuss delay. we are open to extending the deadline to allow time for these discussions to run their course and come to a conclusion. there is a tiny chance this week the whole process could explode, but while labour and the tories are still talking, the show is just about still on the road. but dela

project of a unified europe and that's what's in the balance as they negotiate back and forth so when theresa may goes in and suggests this june thirtieth deadline are chances pretty strong then the e.u. leaders are going to say no we even say they're going to have to be a four year or get it done by friday. i think so i think by now the europeans are to discovering that the worst thing about bragg's it is not whether it happens or whether it doesn't happen but the worst thing is the uncertainty around it nobody knows whether to make an investment in one part of europe or another because they don't know what europe will mean in terms of where they can sell and where they can buy and what kind of profits they can make so they want something settled instead of this endless soap opera of the british turning in on themselves around a subject that most of the rest of europe doesn't care about that much one way or the other the rest of europe probably doesn't care as much and yet you're talking about uncertainty certainly in the case of the e.u. the european union there's also a lot of uncertainty

so what next? is theresa may's deal dead now?is hard to know that it is dead, although john bercow, the speaker, might have an opinion on that. it is perfectly possible he could rule out parliament even discussing it again. he was reluctant to have a third vote, so a fourth, he might veto it. what is likely, and it is a dangerous game to make predictions at the moment, parliament will probably vote for a customs union on monday and i think if that is tied to her deal, potentially, in the middle of next week, if a vote goes ahead, i can see a parliamentary majority for it. a parliamentary majority for a customs union, not for her deal? you have to have some sort of withdrawal agreement and then the customs union is about the future relationship with the european union. i can see once the labour party, which has always supported a customs union, has got a parliamentary majority for a customs union, they could then back the withdrawal agreement. whether that is something the prime minister would then even allow to be voted on is a d

both leaders and trouble, jack, so not just have got kind of both leaders and trouble, jack, so notjust theresae but corbyn too. to some extent, that is true. this will only get worse if they come to some sort of compromise. the further out positions in each party, they will hate seeing their leaders copper mines under things they care about. we don't need that no is if theresa may is eckley compared to do that. as anna said, she has gone into today in these talks and by all accou nts into today in these talks and by all accounts has listened, set out his position. we kind of knew their positions already. is she prepared to go in second or there go my redlines, i will sign up to what you want. if she does that, it puts jeremy corbyn in quite a tricky position. he does not want to be seen position. he does not want to be seen to be helping the prime minister. the question is is she going to make that offer or is this just another talking shop? it's early to say at this stage. we heard them both kind of coming out... we did not hearfrom them both kind of coming out... we did not hear from theresa

and mps have said no to all of those, so we are exactly back to square one here. the theresaives don't have a majority. and we forget, it is now a week and a half until we are set to leave the eu so, unless something changes between now and a week friday, then we are about to crush out of the eu without a deal and revert on to wto terms which would raise significant trading barriers, and some administrative complexities. do you think we are going to be in a position where we crash out as you've put it, because a week is a long time in politics... at the moment. on a serious note, what do you think is going to happen? the next thing in this process is that theresa may's cabinet will meet first thing tomorrow for a marathon five—hour session. we do not know what they're going to discuss but we do know there's going to be a document that they will have privy access to for an hour before the cabinet meeting. that could be polling, that could be a plan, that could be a plan for no deal. so we'll wait and see. but they are going to have to hammer something out now about what happen

reports we do every year, and managing it with extraordinarily -- extraordinary attention to detail, so theresa, thank you on behalf of all of us for all of this work and we wish you all the best in the next phase. >> thank you. [applause]. >> if there's nothing further, commissioners, "can move on to item nine. conditional use authorization. please note that this was originally heard a november 29 th, 2019 -- 2018 when the commission adopted a motion of intent to continue the matter to december 13th, 2018 by vote of 4-2. commissioners voted against and commissioner richards you were absent. on december 13th, 2018 after hearing again enclosing public comment, you continued the matter to for brief 14th, 2019 by vote of 6-0. commissioner johnson, you are absent. and then again, subsequently continued without hearing to today, in order to participate, commissioners johnson and richards you have to acknowledge you've reviewed the previous hearings you missed and materials. thank you, i appreciate that. and this is the third time you'll be hearing this matter, we shall limit testimony to three and p

set to continue to try to find a way of getting parliamentary approval for theresa may's brexit deal. but with no agreement soys to go before the uk is meant to leave, mps are openly voicing frustration. here's our political correspondent ben wright. ina hurry in a hurry to find more time, theresa may left downing street for berlin desperately seeking another delay to brexit. the prime minister is telling eu leaders she can finally get a deal passed through parliament by the end ofjune. theresa may has said that the withdrawal agreement itself cannot be renegotiated with the eu, but some brexit back cabinet ministers have other ideas. the prime minister is up to see angela merkel today, and what i think would be fantastic is if angela merkel will try to support a proper uk brexit by agreeing to reopen the withdrawal agreement. and some tory backbenchers clearly hate the idea of another delay. ladies and gentlemen, we chose to leave, we voted to leave, so for god's sake, let'sjust leave! voted to leave, so for god's sake, let's just leave! in voted to leave, so for god's sake, let'sjust leave! in recent days,

theresa may. she is facing so test for theresa may. from the grassroots. yes, and the conservatives are defending the large number of council seats this time around, 248 councils seeing elections on thursday. when you speak to councillors i think a lot of them will say they want to focus on local issues, things like bin collections and things like the state of the roads, social care, that kind of thing but undoubtedly the national narrative on brexit may play its part. we heard this morning from a base chair of the conservative party saying it may be a difficult night for the conservative party but with in hearing from the shadow business secretary and her thoughts on what kind of tight brexit may play in the local elections. i think it would be naive of me not to think brexit will play a big part in our local elections, certainly from the feedback i am getting from the doorstep in my constituency, many of my residents are talking about brexit on the doorstep as well as other issues that affect their lives in relation to living standard

i'm brian thomas thanks so much for joining us the british prime minister theresa may is chairing an emergency meeting of her cabinet to seek a way out of that country's deadlock the meeting among the warring ministers is expected to last four hours it comes after britain's parliament rejected all alternatives to her bracks a deal yesterday lawmakers threw out four options designed to replace the unpopular withdrawal agreement song by only a few votes. britain has just ten days left to come up with a new plan or leave the e.u. without a deal. or responding to last night's events in the house of commons the e.u.'s chief bracks and negotiator michel barnier spoke this morning in brussels this is what he had to say and let me just make a point very clear if you won't read three. you know already my nerve and agreement in these treaty and we'll be the only one. let's get the rare latest now from the madison brussels and charlotta pots in london good morning to both of you georg if we could start with brussels we've just heard a few moments ago a new warning from brussels that the deal on

so although theresa may may be breathing a sigh of relief that she doesn't have to take an instant decisionrow on one of these options and put it to her cabinet, she will know that she has got very great difficulty bringing the conservative party around any of the softer options that might find some common mice in the house. let's cut to jessica powell common mice in the house. let's cut tojessica powell in the lobby. common mice in the house. let's cut to jessica powell in the lobby. yes, mps are now streaming out of the house of commons following that result, where we had that none of those options got a majority tonight, although a couple came close. joining is peter dad, shadow chief secretary to the treasury. how did you vote? i have voted on the boles amendment, which was about norway plus, and i also supported a ratification. what did you make of the results? i don't think they were and inspected. some were very close. there was one in relation to the customs union which lost by three, if you lose is the appropriate word. so it was not particularly unexpected and we have to work our

so much better. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00pm: theresaemy corbyn to end the stalemate. this debate, this division, cannot drag on much longer. it is putting members of parliament and everyone else under immense pressure, and it is doing damage to our politics. as ministers emerged from number ten, some were said to be opposed to the new approach, because of the appeal to labour. so far, she hasn't shown much sign of compromise, but i'm pleased that today she has indicated that she will accept the view of parliament and is prepared to reach out and have that discussion. let us

thank you so much forjoining us. theresa may asks for mortimer brexit.ine in china. we will explain all. the accident that happened here was of the sort that can at worst produce a meltdown. in this case the precautions worked, but they didn't work quite well enough to prevent some old fears about the safety features of these stations from resurfacing. the republic of ireland has become the first country in the world to ban smoking in the workplace. from today, anyone lighting up in offices, businesses, pubs and restaurants will face a heavy fine. the president was on his way out of the washington hilton hotel, where he had been addressing a trade union conference. the small crowd outside included his assailant. it has become a symbol of paris. 100 years ago, many parisians wished it had never been built. the eiffel tower's birthday is being marked by a re—enactment of the first ascent by gustave eiffel. this is newsday on the bbc. i am rico hizon in singapore. we are glad you are staying with us. i babita sharma in london. after seven hours of talks wit

so coming up. britain's theresa may stares down another .

so far, there's been no change in those red lines. but if rushing to a customs deal with labour makes sense now, why has theresa may avoided it for so longe on her own side. she's always promised she wouldn't take that step. can she win round the cabinet now? are you going to stay in the customs union? the trade secretary liam fox isn't the only one who would say no. even though, as ever, there are other members of the government who completely disagree. will you move on a customs union, minister? who would try many doors to find a way out of all of this. confusing, wrong car. the talks between the tories and labour are genuine. both sides want to know if they can find a deal together to get through that place. but they wonder, separately, if the other side is serious, and they're a long way from a full—blown partnership. these are nervous first dates between the two. so again, this week, eu leaders will discuss delay. we're open to extending the deadline to allow time for these discussions to run their course and come to a conclusion. # the eu lets us live in peace # let's remain #. there is a tiny chance this week the whole process cou

i'm dr thomas thanks so much for joining us british prime minister theresa may is expected to meet with opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn in a new push for a bracks a compromise now that's after announcing she would ask the e.u. for another delay beyond the evil twelve deadline after months of political deadlock is may indicating she now wants a closer relationship with the e.u. after all the coming days perhaps the coming hours could provide some answers. in london a potentially important shift to reason me says she wants another extension to the break that deadline and will seek political consensus to break months of parliamentary deadlock i've offering to sit down with the leader of the opposition and to try to agree a plan that we would both stick to to ensure that we leave the european union and that we do so with a deal the initial reaction from the labor party leader positive but cautious. of course i'm very happy to meet so we need to have a discussion with the prime minister we need to ensure the parliament has an opportunity to vote on proposals that prevent us crashing ou

so far. now theresa may is trying to persuade the eu that she can make it happen by finding common ground withr. but as yet, there is simply there is no hard proof she will ever be able to ma that work. tonight's plea is about avoiding the turmoil of leaving without a deal at all. on its own, more time does not remove the same dilemmas staring the country in its face. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brussels. is a formerining us board member ofio the internl fund. tries have spoken out in favor of a longer extension to brexit assuming tha happens, what is the political risk for mrs. may? >> 17 is not 27, and it takes 27. as far as we know at this point, there is not a consensus. i think we all agreed it will be an extensi. there will be an extension of potentially a longer piod, but that is not a done deal. esif it do get to the point where the consensus is longer extension, then that keeps thingsel like generations, second referendum all of these broader outcomes on the table. not necessarily very good for prime minister may. if it is a shorteren extension, hat basically says that france and some

so far. now, theresa may is trying to persuade the eu that she can make it happen by finding common ground withas yet, there's simply no hard proof she will ever be to make that work. tonight's play is about avoiding the turmoil of leaving without a deal at all. but on its own, without time it does not remove the same dilemmas stabbing the country in the face. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brussels. so there's undisguised frustration here that the brexit process is taking longer than expected. we've already passed the march 29th deadline to leave. that frustration of the politicians is shared by some voters. when it came to voting in the referendum in 2016, few areas had a higher turnout than derbyshire dales in the east midlands. nearly five out of six people there cast their ballot and the result mirrored the national vote to leave. our special correspondent ed thomas has been finding out how people are feeling there. the government have totally let us down, mate. both sides. embarrassing. shouldn't even be... they're not fit to govern, end of story. it's split us, hasn't it? it's divided us al

what compromise are you going to make if you want theresa may to shift on her so—called red lines? or a long time. it's actually at the labour party conference back in the autumn thatjeremy labour party conference back in the autumn that jeremy corbyn labour party conference back in the autumn thatjeremy corbyn in his conference speech said he is prepared to discuss the theresa may, it's a real shame she's left this to the 11th hour. ok, you said that but what compromises are you going to make? we are prepared to consider all different options to break this impasse, that's why in part of the other week, we voted for things which aren't exactly labour party policy, beyond labour party policy like a common party 2.0 for example. in order to show that we are willing to consider every practical option to consider every practical option to get out of the mess theresa may has caused. well, the former brexit secretary, david davis, told the bbc‘s radio 4 today programme that he saw no progress whatsover, by delaying brexit further. and he added that theresa may might have to step down for

part of the reason for taking any kind of delay, at least till december, possibly beyond, so that they can get theresapects. teresa may have run out of options entirely. i do not think she will be here until december. they wa nt to will be here until december. they want to sort out this sort of political disagreements and finally present a united front. i think we could either put forward a deal if we put everything aside, talk it through, and votes a through a little bit longer. i do leader may ta ke little bit longer. i do leader may take a different direction. bedmate decided to go for a of referendum that britain may decide to go for a referendum. i think at this point, i do not think it will change much. i think if you have a general election, you will get more independent, you end up parliament, you still have complete paralysis in the system. what about the dup and the system. what about the dup and the erp? i think what that erp, this has been that lights work. this is the sole reason why they are in politics and they are throwing it away. —— their life's break. they are not going to move for

so ben, theresa may has a lot of convincing to do.assure eu leaders that she has got a to reassure eu leaders that she has gota plan, to reassure eu leaders that she has got a plan, is there any sense that the talks that are going on between the talks that are going on between the government and labour might give her something to tell these leaders? the fact that the talks are continuing give us something to talk about and she will prom that promise they have the potential to deliver cross party consensus about a vision for the future to form the basis for a house of commons majority for the withdrawal agreement. butjenny talked about unity within the eu, there is little of that in westminster and theresa may has not been waved off with a happy heart from many in her party who, are angry she is seeking a second delay to brexit. there are some even within the cabinet who think it may have been petter better to leave on friday without a deal. many anxious that the request for a short extension could turn into a long ex—terms and this wa

nejra: juliette saly in singapore, thank you so much. theresa is turning to the labor opposition party in a last-ditch attempt to find a deal. >> i am taking action to break logjam. i am offering to sit down with the leader of opposition to try to agree on a plan that would -- that we would both stick to two and sure we leave the european union and do so with a deal. nejra: corbyn welcome to the move, saying he would be happy to meet the prime minister. >> we hold and reserve our ride to bring a motion of no-confidence to the government if the government froze it is incapable of commanding a majority in the house of commons. our response to the opposition is to make sure we don't crash out. and also to make sure that we have a government that commands a majority in the house and in deed commands support, majority .upport across the country nejra: this opens the way for a much softer brexit, potentially keeping the country inside the union. joining us to discuss is the chief investment officer at saint james management services, from ralph, and a

customs union so theresa may would have to resign for all conservatives to back at.rancine: if there is a change in conservative leadership, themos, say boris johnson over, does that move the pound? are -- i think again, we the pound is thinking a lot about the next few weeks. if you think about it, if there is a change in leadership and a deal, then you are in front of the situation where you have in your leadership being more towards the exit -- towards .rexit than not let's not forget that while this deal is about the next two years, it sets up the framework, but it doesn't ensure that you transition to a customs union with the e.u. afterwards. kevin: the process, the difficulty we in now, is that so long as parliament is willing, it can force a lot of terms on the prime minister. you change the leader of the conservative party and you don't change the calculus in parliament, any brexit leader, what they could do is either go for a big risk for the conservatives, or you could try to go with what parliament wants and shifts beyond brexit. keep in mind, most conserv

senior conservative mps have failed to reach a decision about whether to change party rules so that theresasterday evening discussing the issue behind closed doors. another meeting of all tory mps will take place today. under current party rules, mps cannot mount a fresh challenge against mrs may until december. let's go to westminster and our assistant political editor, norman smith. division everywhere, division over brexit, and division over what to do about the prime minister's future. it is clear that although there are members of the 1922 executive who do wa nt members of the 1922 executive who do want mrs may to face another leadership contest and are pressing for rule changes, there are others who are adamant that that would change nothing, it wouldn't change the parliamentary arithmetic, that would say. they have questioned the legality of introducing a retrospective rule changes, and they ponder about how vulnerable might make future tory leaders if they could be subject to a leadership challenge every six months or so. so the executive meeting again this afternoon to have another

appears to have a different idea on this, and thinks that theresa may asked forjune 30, and maybe they should go to something closer to that. soget is really in the hands of eu leaders. that‘s going to change the temperature and what happens in terms of theresa may‘s fete. what happens in terms of theresa may's fete. sure, i mean stephen, pa rt may's fete. sure, i mean stephen, part of the problem that you‘ve got differing ideas over in brussels as to how long an extension should be, it‘s because the french and mr is making it clear that we could just bea making it clear that we could just be a big old pain over the next year. blocking all kinds of things, further integration, messing up how they go about trying to get a new leader of the commission and so on and for. also that means that could mean in the fig and extension was a year until the end of this year, that could mean problems as far as the european elections are concerned, and all of that kind of stuff. yeah, the fear is that not made or what comes after, what happens of theresa may steps down and is replaced by a hard brexiteer, like borisjohnson, that's a thing th

jeremy any announcement following those talks betweenjeremy corbyn and theresa may of course we will bring them to you at 4:30pm, soroughout this process, relatives of those who died at hillsborough have been monitoring this by the minute. they have indeed and some of them have come out of court today after this 11 week trial and said we are disappointed there has been no outcome on that charge of gross negligence, manslaughter, because this has already been a very long journey, 30 years where they have been through two inquest, a private prosecution, an independent enquiry and now this trial here at preston crown court, too. a short time ago we spoke to louise brooks, his brother andrew died in the hillsborough stadium disaster. it is notjust the physical toll, it is the mental toll. travelling 300 miles a day is not easy. i am travelling 300 miles a day is not easy. lam no spring travelling 300 miles a day is not easy. i am no spring chicken now. i was 17 when andrew died, and i will be 48 ina was 17 when andrew died, and i will be 48 in a few weeks' time. i can't do what i could have done even five years ago dur

at the moment, donald tusk is saying theresa may has accepted that delay to the 31st. sound and remaining eu 27 leaders sat down together to discuss this request for an extension. donald tusk then met up with a theresa may to go through some of those conditions and we heard them talking about this earlier. this behavioural clause and after that, we had a little bit of an extension come expecting a press conference, a lot sooner, but there was an extension because there were a few issues that theresa may had with some of the small issues with the details of extension but now we are hearing from donald tusk according to the afp news agency that theresa may has accepted that delay, and the suggestion is that there will be a review in june. if suggestion is that there will be a review injune. if you remember, she had admitted to the eu requesting a delay to the 30th ofjune, so in june at some point, there will be a review to see whether depth in and see how the uk is doing with the agreement with theresa may's withdrawal agreement, these are life pictures now where we are see

theresa may for mishandling the entire brexit process, and say it is time she quit. but the party's rules say there cannot be another vote on her leadership until december. soories are discussing whether to rip up those rules to try to get rid of her earlier. we need fresh leadership. and i hope that we are able to persuade theresa may that now is the time to go. beyond westminster, parties are gearing up for european parliamentary elections. launching its campaign in bristol today, change uk, set up by former labour and conservative mps. this is no rebel alliance. this is the home of the remain alliance. these elections are a chance to send the clearest possible message. we demand a people's vote and the right to remain and campaign to remain in the european union. applause the party unveiled its candidates, including racheljohnson, writer and sister of pro—brexit mp boris johnson. here, they're enthusiastic about the possibility of european elections next month, but almost three years after the uk voted to leave the eu, it is certainly not what theresa may had been hoping for. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. buckingham palace has confirmed that presid

so far. now, theresa may is trying to persuade the eu that she can make it happen by finding common ground withet, there's simply no hard proof she will ever be able to make that work. tonight's plea is about avoiding the turmoil of leaving without a deal at all. but on its own, more time does not remove the same dilemmas staring the country in the face. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brussels. i think we're in for one of these long knights. there was some break up. let me explain what is going on. they did take a short break about half an hour ago. we were told by donald tusk team that 17 of the 27 countries were in favour of a longer extension. three orfour are leaning toward a short extension and in that camp is the french president emmanuel macron. who doesn't much like the idea of going to the end of the year. let's pick that up. our europe editor, katya adler is here. what happens on a evening like this we have the two big giants of germany and france in different camps? what is interesting about this debate is it doesn't matter so much about the giants or the not giants. because there are 2

theresa may for mishandling the entire brexit process, and say it is time she quit. but the party's rules say there cannot be another vote on her leadership until december. soare discussing whether to rip up those rules to try to get rid of her earlier. we need fresh leadership. and i hope that we are able to persuade theresa may that now is the time to go. beyond westminster, parties are gearing up for european parliamentary elections. launching its campaign in bristol today, change uk, set up by former labour and conservative mps. this is no rebel alliance. this is the home of the remain alliance. these elections are a chance to send the clearest possible message. we demand a people's vote and the right to remain and campaign to remain in the european union. the party unveiled its candidates, including racheljohnson, writer and sister of pro—brexit mp borisjohnson. here, they are enthusiastic about the possibility of european elections next month, but almost three years after the uk voted to leave the eu, it is certainly not what theresa may had been hoping for. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. buckingham palace has confirmed that president trump will

meeting do show a hard line developing from the french she said it is with great impatience so he will listen to theresa may but he said nothing can be taken for granted especially a long extension he emphasized once again that all options are open so perhaps there's going to be a lot of effort by the other e.u. twenty seven to try and bring the french back in a very hard line from there an angle or merkel the german chancellor also said before she went in that as far as she was concerned she was happy that the united kingdom was preparing for the elections and he said the most important thing was to keep the integrity of the e.u. is situations and keep them working so it's not as straightforward as we thought there were two dates mentioned for a longer extension december the thirty five. and also march twenty twenty but the french president has made it pretty clear going to be some very strict conditions on any longer extension if he eventually does agree to it and he said before he went in he doesn't absolutely agree with a longer extension despite what the president of the e.u. council don't want to

so far. now theresa may is trying to persuade the eu that she can make it happen by finding common ground withyet there is simply no hard proof she will ever be able to make that work. tonight plea is about avoiding the turmoil of leaving without a deal at all. but on its own more time does not remove the same dilemmas steering the country and its face. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brussels. tonight here in brussels the talks have still not concluded. let's speak to our europe editor katya adler whojoins me. the prime minister made her case quite a few hours ago, do we know how that went down? there was a real absence of eu leaks criticising her performance, the question could be how did the majority of eu leaders wa nt how did the majority of eu leaders want the prime minister to go down today? was she walking into the lions den with all the leaders with their arms folded? no they wanted an excuse their arms folded? no they wanted an excuse to grant this extension not out of favour but to avoid an audio on friday. also eu leaders keep across the price in the uk and they wa nted across the pric

so that is effectively what theresa may is facing now. has always said she is against both a referendum and the customs union. indeed, the manifesto her party stood on specifically excluded it. and are those the two front runners, in your opinion, when it comes to these indicative votes? that's right, certainly from the votes last week, it looks as though those were most likely. every single one of them fell short, but those that were least unpopular, shall we say, was firstly a confirmatory referendum on any deal that parliament negotiates, and secondly on a customs union, a straight customs union proposal. there was a third proposal which was more complicated than that, a little bit more like the situation that norway has, staying inside the single market, and also a customs arrangement. but it looks as though quite a few of the options are quite close together, so if mps bang their own heads together, they might be able to reach that agreement. but it's not an agreement that immediately, i think, theresa may would say that she would ta

confirmatory vote would take it back to the people the people because people are so tired of the absence of any compromise by theresald control our own immigration?” say if labour had won the 2017 general election we won't have left on friday with a customs union and in an orderly manner. but we couldn't. we didn't because of the conservative party and particular theresa may market was attitude to this which has been so high—handed and secretive. i am really sorry but right now we do need to compromise and then have a confirmatory vote so we can move forward because otherwise we are going to be doing this, this will be the state of parliament for the next ten years and we really can't. we have too many challenges in our country to accept that so that's what i say. hugh merryman, the parliamentary aide to philip hammond, in that cabinet meeting right now. might he be prepared to move to a confirmatory referendum ?” be prepared to move to a confirmatory referendum? i don't know. so far, it's close but i'm not a spokesperson. i'm here for me. you must have had this conversation is. we talk all the time but he can speak

theresa many are successful. let's cross over now to london where charlotte potts is standing by so charlotte these talks between theresa may and labor is jeremy corbin are still continuing but he's apparently under pressure from his own party not to accept her deal what do you anticipate is going to come out of those talks. well the negotiating teams are meeting as we speak and they are clearly trying to find some common ground and there is some common ground both parties in general want to leave the european union both parties want to stop the single market stop the free movement of people of course jeremy cole being pushing for a soft of bricks and maybe to remain in a customs union and that is also what he's under pressure from his own party about what they are pushing him towards a soft of bricks and maybe possibly towards a second referendum some in the in the labor party saying that that he's been lured into a trap that theresa may want to put blame off him for not ending the brics a deadlock if these talk of talks are not successful and also theresa may is under intense pressure from her party to have min

plan and what about these conditions for if the uk stays in the eu for much longer than theresa may is planning so is planning so far? adam, as ever, thank you very much for that. speak to you later. let's return to the news that for the first time, internet sites and social media companies such as facebook and twitter, could have their services blocked and face heavy fines if they don't stick to new internet safety laws. joining me now is belinda parmar, campaigner for the empathy business and campaigner for tech. what campaigner for the empathy business and campaignerfor tech. what you think of this? i think it is great that what we call the digital gangsters of our time are being held to account. i would have liked to see more action, it is very vague, it is going to public consultation. i called up the dcms this morning and asked for a timeline, and there is no timeline. as soon as parliamentary process can. so i would have liked to see a lot less vagueness, a lot more action, but in general it is a good step forward. but that is the point about the internet, it is so vague. this is why we hav

and so jackson set out to find a way to get to theresa saldana. ed. what this private investigator was able to give jackson was the unlisted phone number of saldana's mother. and so jackson called saldana's mother pretending to be martin scorsese's assistant and saying that he had a package, perhaps a script, that needed to be delivered to theresa saldana. what was her address? and so unknowingly, theresa saldana's mother gave arthur richard jackson her daughter's address. >> he showed up. but he didn't show up with flowers or candy. he showed up with a very sharp knife. and he confronted her and started violently stabbing her. >> and she played the lead in a dramatization of her own story. >> one of the unique things about "victims for victims" is that you have the actress who really experienced the horror event. and she's playing herself. >> it was unprecedented for theresa saldana to be in a movie, to star as herself, as a victim of a knife attack that almost killed her. that's what so unusual. but her motive was to help people, to warn people,

if so, it's likely to cause further problems for theresa may at home, particularly in her own party.ing germany's chancellor and france's president, and meets all 27 eu leaders for a summit on wednesday. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. no—one could accuse the prime minister of not covering the ground, but clocking up the miles isn't the same is convincing your audience. theresa may landed in berlin first, to plead for more time. but the normal red carpet was rather lonely today. the prime minister had to wait for a welcome, before the two leaders headed back outside for the usual snaps and smiles. the mission, though — notjust to ask for a delay, but to give the answer why. we want to understand what the uk need this extension for. there's a real effort to try to bring structure to brexit. you know, we've had extraordinary division, really. we still need clarity from the uk side. newsreader: theresa may has arrived in berlin... the reason for the delay this time is to give more space for talks to play out at home. those aren't government ministers on the march at white
