church leaders here want the city to bear the name of st peter. translation: do you know what our guiding light was? the words of peter the great himself — the impossible does happen. this was a surprising result, a slim but safe majority, voted yes to the referendum question whether leningrad should become st petersburg once more. translation: it was an indescribable feeling of great romantic illusions and hopes, that this was the first step up a great ladder. many of our hopes did not come to pass. ludmilla narusova. for ourfinalfilm, we head to the vatican city. in a surprise announcement in 1959, popejohn xxiii called all the world's bishops and cardinals to rome to discuss modernising the church. the debates which became known as vatican ii went on throughout the 19605 and led to major changes any practice and outlook of millions of catholics. rome, where this week there opens the vatican council, the largest and the most important of any of the conferences in the whole 2,000 years of the roman catholic church. more than 2,000 cardinals and

the abuse peter endured has had a long lasting effects on him. they messed up my life. i'm almost 50. now look at me. i don't have a hope. as more men than ever before acknowledge they have been trafficked to the uk, and seek the help they need, there are still thousands of men living behind closed doors or in plain sight, who need to be rescued from their traffickers. i think the public can can do a lot by paying attention to some of the signs. if a service you're buying is very, very cheap, then it's probably too good to be true. but there are other signs we can watch for as well in terms of how free people are to move around, how free they are to make decisions, how engaged they are, whether somebody is watching over them. we can all together tackle what is both an illegal activity, but an absolutely brutal crime. and if you want any further advice about issues raised in that report, do contact the bbc action line. it's almost two years since the devastating fire at grenfell tower in west london that killed 72 people. at the time we met mahad egal. he and his family

peter bows for us there. —— peter bowes for us there. fans and hip hop royalty alike have been paying tribute to nipsey hussle. the grammy—nominated star was killed outside his clothing store in los angeles over the weekend. two other people were wounded. police are still looking for a suspect. the bbc‘s sophie long has the story. # breaking down a swisher in front of your building #. nipsey hussle was a rising star in the music scene. his album victory lap was recently nominated for a grammy. but here in south los angeles, where he grew up, he was as well—known for his community work he was for his music. he made no secret of his early life in a street gang. i grew up in la in the ‘90s. gang culture was what was going on, you know, outside of my family structure. on sunday afternoon, nipsey hussle tweeted. he said: "it's a blessing to have strong enemies." within an hour, he'd been shot dead in a burst of gunfire outside his clothing store. now people have come to pay their respects and to mourn the loss of a man they call a leg

i had just been in saint peter's square. it is fascinating, a citizen rather slice of people were allowed in by the police, they started running to get the best positions. a lot of people we re the best positions. a lot of people were asking when the pope might pass in his popemobile. yes, there is a sense of solemnity for the worshippers but in that crowd, there area worshippers but in that crowd, there are a lot of people for whom this is certainly just a spectacle are a lot of people for whom this is certainlyjust a spectacle to be enjoyed and photographed, certainly with reverence. thank you very much, james reynolds at the vatican. the main easter celebration in paris, which would have taken place at notre—dame cathedral, will instead be held at the church of saint—eustache, as workers continue the task of making the cathedral safe. last night, french television put on a concert to raise funds for the renovation, following monday's fire. let's speak now to our paris correspondent, hugh scofield. what do they have pl

a veteran labour mp backed peter kyle's plan for a confirmatory referendum. it seems to me we are likely to need a longer extension anyway for a whole variety of other reasons so why not take advantage of that reality to hold a confirmatory vote on the likely outcome of brexit, whatever happens on the deliberation. as did a conservative without it would be a way to get theresa may deal through. it could be argues, why are going back to the people but i am going back clearly and only and with a great degree of self—loathing to say this, i'm going back purely because parliament is unable to reach a majority and reach a decision. the motion calls for nothing in this house should be approved without a referenda but we have to agree with this house the side. and please engage in that process come together, support a deal that protectsjobs in the economy and then put it to the british people. we believe it is essential to hold the people's vote on the final deal, ultimately, it must be a question of deciding between the things we know and which have worked well,

peter, will bring you back in at this point. tell me, were you aware that they were going to try to get inside the hotel? the plan was for a peaceful protest from a think it's still peaceful, but they haven't gone inside the barriers. which i should say are not normally there, but our messages that the whole world, including the commonwealth of brunei in the past, must take a stand, and it's reg retta ble must take a stand, and it's regrettable that brunei has not yet been suspended from the commonwealth, even though it signed the commonwealth charter, which pledges to uphold universal human rights. way back the foreign office has at its had assurances from brunei that these laws, these new laws will work in conjunction with common law, and actually the risk of them being enforced is low, is that not good enough for you? the very fa ct not good enough for you? the very fact that these laws have been introduced strikes terror into the hearts of lg bt introduced strikes terror into the hearts of lgbt pupil in brunei, they will now

peter dowd, is that accurate? no, but it is symptomatic of the situation we are in, a man with a loud voice at the back of us and an even bigger megaphone shouting us down, and that is the problem we have got. we have to have conversations and discussions to try to get out of a very difficult situation that we have been put in by the prime minister, who has not been prepared to talk to anyone other than her own colleagues in the past two years. so what are we supposed to do? just walk away from any discussion of any deals, any negotiations? no, of course not, we are a parliament, we are politicians who represent a myriad of interests, and we have to try to bring them together — if we possibly can. caroline lucas, do you have enough time now to push for your second referendum ? have enough time now to push for your second referendum? yes, i think we do. i would have rather had until december, but if we get moving on this, we do have time for a second referendum, and frankly, even if we we re referendum, and frank

peter, the warming of the arctic, how does that compare with the rest of the world and its impact on the arctic habitat. so the rest of the world has risen three celsius and the arctic unfortunately is carrying the brunt of it. that was peter winsor, director of the wwf arctic programme and looking at those pictures earlier, they are really very upsetting and what global warming has really done to the arctic habitat. they are upsetting images and it just struck me, seeing them there, i wonder if they have the same kind of effect. you know we suddenly started seeing pictures of the plastics in the ocean and that really made a difference, people started reducing their plastics, i just difference, people started reducing their plastics, ijust wonder whether the image of that seal sparks that kind of change? peter mentioned in that interview, we have to have the political will to be able to move forward and solve this very serious issue of climate change and global warming and it should have been done, not yesterday but decades ago. it's always too late but you have to start somewhere, o

i've just been with peter kyle who picked for the amendment i voted for, which is whatever deal that we settle on, put it to the british people. and theresa may could do that. she could do it tomorrow. you could say, i've got my withdrawal agreement, negotiated it with the european union, she thinks it's rather good, put it to the british people and this whole thing would be done by september or october. and finally, given that stephen barclay stood up tonight, saying, pilate has failed yet again to reach a conclusion, he talked about it, seem to be hinting at the possibility of bringing the deal back. do you really think your hopes of another referendum can really be revived at this stage of the game? what do you think will happen on wednesday? we still got the highs vote of any of the options before parliament. you're not giving up? goodness, no! the british people are entitled to change their mind, just like mps change their mind, the way that they are voting. they did on her withdrawal agreement, they did tonight again. they are allowed to change their minds and vote again, but t

in respect to mr peter kyle's motion e, the ayes were 280, the noes were 282, so the noes have it. in respect tojoanna cherry‘s motion g, the ayes were 191, the noes were 292, so the noes habit. let's cross to our political correspondent, jessica parker. it looks like we are no further forward. that was the message from stephen barclay, who said that they had failed to reach a consensus. but now, ian blackford, on the motion the snp brought forward, which talked about a number of things, including potentially revoking article 50 in order to avoid an ideal brexit, you fell short by 151 votes, so you did worse than all. yes, but 121 labour mps abstained. if they had voted with us tonight we would have one, because we need to recognise that next week there is a real danger that the uk falls out of the eu with no deal. that would be catastrophic for everyone, so i really do question what on earth where the labour party doing? we could have stopped no deal as a serious prospect, and the labour party didn't step up to the plate. some recriminations are beginning, of course this whole p

the scottish police federation says supporter behaviour is driving the game to a crisis and when peter haring headed hearts in front, the red mist descended once more. a similar incident happened after celtic scored against st mirren on wednesday. more followed. three minutes later, hibernian equalised. during daryl horgan‘s celebrations, another aberration. this time, a coconut was thrown onto the pitch, accompanied by yet more smoke. in the second half, those problems were extinguished. the most notable flare came in the build—up to hibs' second, scored again by horgan. this match may yet decide which of these sides can qualify for european football next season, but despite some late scrambling, hearts could not regain a foothold. this game was memorable enough for what happened on the pitch, but what landed on it may have further repercussions. patrick gearey, bbc news. in the battle at the bottom, dundee lost at home to aberdeen. hamilton v st mirren was a draw, and third—placed kilmarnock closed in on rangers abover them with a win over stjohnstone. isaid it i said it was sa

our north america correspondent peter bowes gave us more background on the case. russell bucklew had been on death row for 20 years, more than 20 years, after he was convicted of a particularly gruesome series of crimes back in 1996 involving rape, kidnapping and murder. he does not dispute that he was guilty of those crimes, does not dispute the sentence, the death sentence. he is arguing with the nature of the sentence and how it is carried out, the lethal injection. he says, and his lawyers have been arguing, that the method would be cruel and unusual — which, of course, is banned by the us constitution — because he has a rare medical condition that produces tumours on his neck and his face that could swell during the lethal injection, causing him extreme pain and the possibility of choking to death. he had argued, in the argument with the supreme court, that gassing, nitrogen gas, would be a betterform of execution. the court has said that they do not buy that, they do not believe he has sufficiently argued that execution through nitrogen gas would result

this morning he found himself on radio five live as well as the breakfast sofa, accompanied by blue peter presenter, lindsey russell. good luck to henry! lets get a look at the weather. he has chris fawkes, and some snow about. yes, across parts of the midlands and parts of wales we've seen some snow. this was the scene around ludlow in shropshire this morning. we did have snow around wales as well. low pressure firmly in charge but it's this area of cloud looking back across wales and the west midlands that brought the wintry weather earlier today. you can see the snow there but increasingly over the snow there but increasingly over the last hour or two as the temperatures have just risen above freezing by an odd degree or two, we've seen in most cases the snow transition back to rain. but that said around powys, temperatures right now are still at zero celsius, still very cold out and about underneath that area of rain with a bit of hill snow. further north we have showers for scotland. some of those will be heavy and thundering in nature. this evening we'll see the area of rain across

in respect of mr peter kyle's motion e, confirmatory public vote, the ayes were 280, the noes were 292. the noes have it. in respect ofjoanna cherry‘s motion g, parliamentary supremacy, the ayes were 191, the noes were 292, so the noes have it. the results is read out by the speaker. i'm just reading it with you from conservative mp nick boles, who says, i'm resigning the conservative whip with immediate effect this evening. —— a tweet here. the conservative party has shown itself to be incapable of compromise so i will sit as an independent, progressive conservative. so he's notjoining the independent group, may not be surprising because they did not vote for his common market 2.0 option this evening. here he was speaking earlier. i've given everything to an attempt to find a compromise that can take this country out of the eu while maintaining our economic strength and our political cohesion. i accept i have failed. i have failed chiefly because my party refuses to compromise. i regret therefore to announce that i can no longer sit for this party. 0h, nick! nick, don't go! come

peter dowd, thank you for your time. so the brexit secretary stephen barclay made a point of order after this result came through tonight, saying that the house had again failed to reach a consensus and i am sure these discussions tonight and the possibility of a further meaningful vote will be the subject of further discussions at the lengthy cabinet meeting tomorrow. jessica, thank you. if you are just meeting tomorrow. jessica, thank you. if you arejustjoining us, all four of the options that were on the ballot paper for mps tonight have been rejected. the closest that mps came was on the customs union, which was defeated by three. the nicholas boles motion, common market 2.0 or norway plus, the single market and the customs union, was defeated by 21, largely because his own conservative mps didn't get behind the plan. and in fact, only 33 of them voted for it. the other options, a confirmatory referendum got 280 votes. still not getting a majority in the house of commons. it has never got a majority when it has been

the rain petering out to a certain extent. the rain is lighter and patchy. heading into eastern scotland and eastern england heading to be dry a lot of cloud around. the winds won't be as strong on tuesday but still an onshore breeze coming into northeast scotland. a little bit on the chilly side. under the cloud, temperatures typically ten or 13. a touch higher in the london area if it brightens up. more sunshine on the way on wednesday. some mist and fog around. some patchy cloud developing and you could just squeeze out a light shower. generally it is drier, more sunshine and more warmth as the bridges climb to 17 or 18. it is set to get warmer over the coming few days. still high—pressure — make high—pressure coming up from scandinavia. not only is it warmer coming up from central europe but more sunshine around as well. the peak of the temperatures will be on saturday and it could get 2a or 25. then starts to cool down a little bit and we may see some rain 00:13:50,519 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 arriving in the north—west. welcome to bbc news, bro

our home affairs correspondent peter cooke reports. anti—social behaviour remains a daily problem across our towns and cities. this latest report paints a picture of little having changed in more than a decade. we've got to address the issue of cuts to the public services and to police, but also the fact that, you know, in 2007, there was better funding for police and then, there still was no action. since her husband's death in 2007, baroness newlove has championed measures to cut anti—social behaviour. garry newlove was attacked outside their home in warrington when he tried to stop a gang vandalising his car. the report says the police and local councils often treat incidents in isolation and ignore the underlying causes. society has not, you know, it's become — it's gone away. we don't talk about it. it hasn't gone away. it has been bubbling, as has knife crime, been bubbling, and if you don't have a safe community to live in, the morale for everybody, and everyone has moved away, it maybe makes you think "well, nobody‘s in

peter winteringham asked... finally, newswatch is recorded and so can edit out some of the hazards of live television — like me stumbling over my words and tripping over the furniture. 0n live shows, guests are asked to switch off their mobile phones. it doesn't always happen, though. general sir mike jackson was being interviewed by stephanie flanders on the andrew marr show a few years ago. the success... phone rings. ..is costing all of these lives and yet... it's a bit more embarrassing, though, when it's the presenter‘s phone going off — as happened shortly after an interview on breakfast on tuesday morning. good to talk to you. thank you very much. phone rings. that's so embarrassing. how have i done that? it's still going! how have i done that? i really do... i genuinely don't know what i did. i apologise profusely. let's show you a pretty picture of glasgow. you really are embarrassed, aren't you ? louise minchin declared the following morning that she'd handed her phone over to the breakfast autho

italian showed us what to expect in naples next week with an improved second—half performance what the peter missed a glorious chance to lead london within a waco. arsenal, the favourite to progress, but plenty left in this tie yet. we know the first leg today was really important for us. to take a good result in a good feeling also with oui’ result in a good feeling also with our football team in this competition. and i think we die make it as competition. and i think we die make itasa competition. and i think we die make it as a good result, but we know it will be very difficult because their performance at home was usually very strong in the season. the performance of arsenal was really good. in the beginning. but i think that we help them to play so well. i think the second half was completely different. the fact that we pushed a lot at the end, we were doing physically better at the of the game because some players had a lot of cramps. benfica look well—placed to reach the semi—finals. joao felix scored a hat—trick. as they beat eintracht frankfurt 11—2 in lisbon, but the germ
