of anti—semitism has been mislaid or ignored, in fact, anti—semitism has been mislaid or ignored, infact fact, a labour spokesman today said that the party does take allegations of anti—semitism seriously and said thatjeremy corbyn has a desire to make procedure is as robust and efficient as possible, and to rebuild trust with the jewish as possible, and to rebuild trust with thejewish community. so labour are saying that what this shows is mr corbyn is aware of the problem and is trying to do something about it. the facts show that jeremy corbyn has not done anything about it. i reported a member of the labour party who downloaded anti—semitic images from a white supremacist website. it has now emerged that actually action was to be taken at somebody from jeremy corbyn‘s office intervene and stop the action being taken. now something has been done because the issue was publicly exposed. it is not what is about injeremy corbyn‘s head,it not what is about injeremy corbyn‘s head, it is what he is going to do about the rising tide of anti—semitism, hatred againstjewish people, that is so ri

infact, not barely seen in the semifinals before. the final. this is a cup competition of emotional extremes. there may be more to come for watford against manchester city in may. those preparations are still to come. for now, watford can enjoy one of the great cup matches. joe lyns key, one of the great cup matches. joe lynskey, bbc news. arsenal have missed the chance to go into the top three. philjagielka — who was a late call—up for everton — scored the only goal — his first in the premier league for two years. that result means arsenal remain in fourth while marco silva's side leapfrog watford into ninth. cambridge beat oxford in the boat race, winning in both the men's and women's events. holding off a late oxford push, cambridge men crossed the line in 16 minutes 57 seconds — just two seconds ahead of their opponents. the cambridge team included double olympic champion james cracknell. he's 46 years old, and he's the oldest person to ever compete in the boat race. i've missed this, i haven't felt like this for 20 years and the

china is, infact, giving kenya an enormous opportunity to connect to the fastest—growing zone of tradeis the indian ocean, and i would expect that we should put our pressure on the kenyan government and east african governments to use it to the maximum. building in the first place was grossly overpriced was the point there. we should get more countries involved in this belt and road initiative together with china because if we co—operate and elevate the standards and have more oversight and accountability it is a great opportunity. alvin, do you wa nt to great opportunity. alvin, do you want to revise what you think? transparency and accountability is everything. many countries have a role to play. if a country is corrupt and china is taking advantage of that. if a country is democratic then it is very difficult to corrupt. but at least china is doing it. that was the point that parag was making. nobody else is doing it. china has poured william's and billions into building infrastructure all over the world. they are doing it. that's why i say it is an opportunity. but at what cost? ha

future relationship with the eu, and the government saying they had put forward serious proposals, and infactrd serious proposals, and in fact they were open to pursuing changes to the political declaration. so it was a bit of a shrug of the shoulders all around frankly. today though, this morning, the chancellor who we will hear from ina the chancellor who we will hear from in a second, struck an upbeat tone about these talks. this afternoon the labour leaderjeremy corbyn front sounding far more circumspect speaking out in plymouth campaigning for the local elections there, and has yet to see any movement from the government. waiting to see the redlines move, and we have had two meetings this week, one with the prime minister, and a further meeting held with david linden said in the team, and that was more of a technical discussion about the nature of the future relations agreements, as well as with the withdrawal agreements, which has many problems, and many flaws in it, as we pointed out in parliament. the key priority is to avoid crashing out of the eu with no deal, because of disruption

or addictions, then the exit government support all those vulnerabilities are still the same and infacty because there isn't data on this is where police. some have referred male victims into government support system multiple times because every time the man exit support he becomes destitute and gets re—targeted by traffickers. read trafficking cycle can continue despite having had support? yes. exactly. being rescued as a short—term fix. and that's one of the bigger asks and we are really pushing for, long—term support is provided to victims of trafficking. what does that mean practically come do you mean specifically? needs led, rather than having support and when a person is recognised by the government is trafficked, they get 45 days and they leave, what we say is some victims might need several yea rs of is some victims might need several years of support, counselling, guidance around training for new work or some of them might need long term safeguarding if they have serious challenges, so it really depends on the individual but at the moment it's not individual lead, it's just a

infact, if above are pushing against external challenges.e, you could be forgiven for thinking that can't be lyra mckee, but it is. when lyra started school, she was already an anti—end when my mum had to bring her, she didn't want to go and leave her, she didn't want to go and leave her andrew. that is not very unusual for a youngster, i suppose, but if anyone had been socially minded and standing on the road at 8:30am at any given morning, you could have been forgiven for calling social services for seeing a woman walking down the road carrying a child screaming and wailing. who knew that one day she would be giving public talks, writing books and making such a lasting mark on the world. it is just totally amazing. we are really fortu nate just totally amazing. we are really fortunate as her family to have millions of memories which we could tell you all until the stars go out, so you will be very glad to hear that i have chosen only a few which, apparently, i only have six minutes to share. we will see how we go. 0ur wee lyra start snow f

many of us, infact in cold, easterly breeze.. further west, double figures could see 1311 1a degrees across the north—west of scotland. as we in the day, we have those clear we've got clear skies moving in from the east. temperatures close to freezing in the countryside, a bit below that. not quite as cold the parts of northern ireland. a bit more breeze and cloud. through the weekend, low pressure of the atlantic, across scandinavia and the combination will be drawing on this cold air mass through the course of the weekend so after another cold start of the day tomorrow, pretty similarto after another cold start of the day tomorrow, pretty similar to what we got today. lots of dry weather and sunshine around, just the chance of a few light showers across parts of east anglia towards the south—east. also a bit more than trees developing in the west. again, it's going to be pretty chilly. temperatures stuck in single figures. around about ten or 11 degrees further west. heading into sunday, this waterfront tries to move in from t

at adam as saying, it might infact themselves.her own benches some brexiteers as saying they won't back it and would rather have a long extension and tobacco deal. all the while, the prime minister is talking to labour, jeremy corbyn's team, to see if they can come up with some sort of compromise which might be able to get through parliament, because downing street's hope is still that they will be able to get a brexit deal through and leave the eu before 22nd of may so they don't have to take part in those european parliamentary elections. the talks between labour and the government, i'm told on both sides they are taking them seriously. they were productive yesterday, there are expected to be more talks today but there are still some big political differences the two sides have to resolve so the idea of them reaching a compromise is farfrom certain. for the moment, alex, thank you. the boss of boeing has admitted software made by the company was a factor in the crashes of two of its aircraft. it comes after investigators release

you can see, the first people who intervened were, in fact, the first people who intervened were, infactornographic websites will have to prove they are 18, from july. the government is bringing in compulsory age verification checks, as part of efforts to make the internet safer for children. it means that commercial providers of online pornography will be required by law to ensure that their users are aged 18 or over. well earlier i spoke to the culture minister margot james mp. she began by telling me how the new measures work. well, in practice, when people want to view adult content online, when they go to a website, they will be asked immediately to prove that they are 18 or over. they will then be diverted to a specialist provider of age verification services. they will provide that assurance, assuming they are 18, and can prove it. they will then prove it and they will be passed back to the site. how can they prove it? what information do you have to supply? well, that would be dependent on each age verifier. the independent regulator, the british board of film classification will

protections in place, and scrapping section 21 a will, in fact, place, and scrapping section 21 a will, infactts in a vulnerable position it will make them much less likely to be accepted for tenancy. the landlord will want to ensure that they aren't taking additional risk. i know what you are saying, the argument that it will make landlords less appealing to people, to buy properties, to let out. but the government is saying that they are going to be speeding up the court system in orderfor, if there is a legitimate reason for a landlord to wa nt to legitimate reason for a landlord to want to get somebody out, like not paying rent or being anti—social, the system is speeded up. if a landlord wants to sell the property, or move into it themselves, that's a legitimate reason. it stops telling people they have to get out with little or no notice for no legitimate reason, no reason that is seated. i think what we have called on the government to do, is say that those changes actually work, and provide landlords with the confidence that they can use the reforms. that reduces the reliance landlords

so there would have been, as there has been for a long time, infact been, as there has been for a longo into the embassyjust before ten o'clock today at the invitation of the ambassador, where julian assange today at the invitation of the ambassador, wherejulian assange was told by the ambassador that his asylu m told by the ambassador that his asylum had been revoked. he then, you know, behaved as one might expect. he was arrested and was taken down to... i'm going to interrupt very quickly. he is ecuadorian citizen isn't he? he has no asylum because it has been revoked. thank you for your time. you are watching bbc news. let's return now to westminster, where my colleague annita mcveigh is keeping across today's brexit developments. we are waiting still for the prime minister theresa may to address mps in the commons, we think that will happen over lunchtime to update them on those talks in brussels last night, which went on into the small hours. and lead to that six month extension to brexit for the uk. the uk will now leave the eu at the end of october, although it could be sooner

protection, at a local level and certainly at a global level, and once people understood this is not so, infacte point where if we want to grow, we have no other option but to do it within the boundaries of the natural environment and fully in harmony with that and once people had understood that, that was really a breakthrough and they began to understand that they had many options to pursue their own national interests. when you look at the move that president trump has made by withdrawing, how does that shake what you describe as your global optimism and then of course you see the young children that take to the streets, where do you view all this? good on them. first of all, the announcement of the white house that they intend to withdraw from the paris agreement honestly is a political announcement that has to have legal repercussions not until november of 2020, after the next us election, but more importantly, it isa election, but more importantly, it is a stand that the united states or the white house takes at their own peril because what it means is that they want to lock themselves in
