Welcome to bbc news. The Prime Minister has told the people of gibraltar that the uk would never allow it to slip from british control against their will. In a Telephone Call aimed at reassuring the territory about its future after brexit, theresa may said britain was steadfast in its commitment. The eus Negotiation Guidelines have suggested that spain, which claims sovereignty over gibraltar, could have a say in whether a Future Trade Deal with the uk will apply to it. Heres our Political Correspondent iain watson. Gibraltar has been british for almost 300 years, nearly as long as the uk has existed. And nearly all of its residents want it to remain that way. They are concerned that after brexit, spain could have a greater say over their life. But, evoking the falklands conflict, a former Conservative Minister said this could be taken to task. Another woman Prime Minister sent a task force halfway across the world to protect another small group of british people against another Spanish Speaking country. I am absolutely clear that our current woman Prime Minister will share the same resolve in relation to gibraltar, as her predecessor did. Dont panic, no one is preparing to cross this border in anger. Rather than seizing sovereignty, spain is more likely to want a say over gibraltars low tax regime. The bbc has been told gibraltars Government Press downing street to mention its interests in the Prime Ministers letter triggering the exit strategy. They did not get that but they did get a phone call. The row over gibraltar was always likely to focus on trade and taxation, rather than territory. So it was significant when the Prime Minister called gibraltars leading politician today, she emphasised a steadfast support, not just for the sovereignty, but its economy. And the chief of gibraltar seemed reassured. When the time comes we make the right decisions with the Prime Minister leading us in those negotiations, which will be in the interests of the people of gibraltar and pursuit of their wishes. But labour says it still poses an economic risk to gibraltar. How will the deal we come to with the European Union affect the gibraltar economy . What access will they have to the Single Market because the economy could be strangled if the negotiations go wrong. This is just the start of the process of leaving the European Union. Downing street has moved to defuse any row involving gibraltar, but difficult negotiations with the eu and spain lie ahead. Around 30,000 people live in gibraltar with many spaniards coming into the territory to work there. 0ur Correspondent Tom Burridge Reports from there on the mood about the brexit talks. Distinct and disputed. The rocks relationship with it neighbour has always been fractious. But spain is emboldened by brexit. Cue defiance from this very gibraltarian and british cabbie. You can close the border down, you can starve us economically. At the end of the day, who ever remains here in gibraltar, there is only one person, one gibraltarian, gibraltar will still be british and gibraltarian under that one gibraltarian. Thats all that counts, thats all that matters. Britains support for this british territory, today unflinching. But there is concern here about what brexit will mean. Weve just got to look at the interest and 30,000 people in gibraltar, and that importance to them. I dont think so. Somehow we always manage to get by, so im sure we will find a way. Gibraltars Moneymaking Machine is a Success Story and its relationship with the eu has helped that happen. Paul graham owns an Investment Company here. Gibraltar desperately, from the financial services, but from all the other trade, we need, we need the eu market. So i think gibraltar will be fully exposed and i think spain will have some sort of sovereignty on gibraltar. Because of the economic aspect. And with Southern Spain just over the border, still struggling with low growth and high unemployment, madrid has long argued that gibraltars setup is unfair. Gibraltar, in the European Union has it all. It is an economic sweet spot with low taxes. And access to spain, just over there and the rest of europe. But the rock is now a Bargaining Chip for the european side. And the wider negotiation between britain and the eu looks even more complicated. But a bad dealfor gibraltar and spaniards will also suffer. Thousands come here for work. Mercedes is hoping for the best. Many, many people work in gibraltar. So gibraltar can go out to enjoy our places, you know . So there needs to be friendly agreement . Yes, of course. Gibraltar thrives on being a place apart and with our exit from the eu, its rocky relationship with its neighbour is in british hands. Rescue teams in colombia are continuing to search through tons of mud and debris for anyone who might have survived devastating mudslides in the south of the country. More than 200 people have been killed but with many others injured or missing, the colombian president says the final death toll is impossible to predict. The mud engulfed the town of mocoa, burying entire neighbourhoods. Bad weather is now hampering the rescue effort. Richard lister reports. Mocoa is a place of mud and misery. When the rolling wall of water and debris rushed through here on friday night, it swept away houses, cars, trees and people. Whole families died here. The painstaking search for survivors is continuing. Rescue workers moving quietly through flattened neighbourhoods, hoping for sounds of life in the wreckage. Nothing here. With every hour that passes, hopes of finding more people alive diminish. Within hours of the deluge, Message Boards went up, listing the dead and missing. Many of those unaccounted for are children. We are searching for a baby, she says. A little baby. We cant find him anywhere. This man has lost his daughter. I hope somebody has her, he says. Shes called luisa. Closest to the river, the streets are now boulder fields, full of people trying to retrieve what they can of their lives. The shock of this disaster is still sinking in. In the worst affected areas, People Struggle to find the places where their houses once stood. The rains that caused this flood were unusually heavy, but deforestation upstream played a part, too. Emergency teams have been working here night and day, since the river burst its banks. More help from the government is on its way. Translation there are ten Water Tankers here and ten more are on their way. We are also bringing Water Purification equipment and generators to ensure there is a clean water supply for the people. For now, though, many people in this town of 40,000 Still Lack Access to power and fresh water. The homeless need housing. The infrastructure needs to be restored and the wreckage cleared. Deep in the amazon basin, mocoa was hard to reach before. Now, with roads and bridges washed away, the challenge is even greater. Richard lister, bbc news. Eight people are being questioned by police after an attack on a 17 year old Asylum Seeker at a bus stop in south london. The teenager, whos kurdish iranian, remains seriously ill in hospital after being subjected to what Police Called a savage attack. Simonjones reports. He was waiting for a Bus On Friday Night but the 17 year old, a kurdish iranian, was approached by a Group Of Eight people, according to the police. They asked where he was from. He said he was an Asylum Seeker. At that point, the police say, the group started chasing the 17 year old, who was with a couple of friends, away from the bus stop, down this street and around the corner, where the attack took place. He suffered several blows to the head. Kana varathan heard the screams. Normally, the friday night, they are always making noise. Then it sounded really funny. Then looking out the window, the group of people beating one person. Some people tried to intervene, others dialled 999. The police are treating the attack as a hate crime. The local mp, who is also the housing minister, told me he was appalled. I described them on twitter as scum. I think these are cowardly, and a despicable attack, and i hope we find the people responsible and theyll face the full force of our justice system. Police patrols have been stepped up to try to reassure people this is not typical for the area, but this is a community in shock. It is very appalling really. You expect people to appreciate one another here. This is a diverse society. Yesterday, it was a shock. Because i have got my two daughters, a boy and my wife is coming to school then. Its not good, its not safe. Tonight, one response to what police have condemned as a savage attack. Simonjones, bbc news, croydon. Lydia wilkinson has paid tribute to her mother and younger brother who were stabbed to death in their home in stourbridge earlier this week. She laid flowers outside the house, accompanied by her boyfriend. She said her mother tracey had always put others before herself. 23 year old aaron barley of No Fixed Address has been charged with their murders and with the Attempted Murder of lydias father peter. The bbc has seen evidence of so called Islamic State appearing to use children as Human Shields in the Battle For Mosul. It comes as the militants are all but encircled in the old centre of iraqs second city with rising concern over civilian casualties. Bbc persians Nafiseh Kouhnavard and Producerjoe Inwood were given exclusive access to iraqi Helicopter Pilots flying over mosul. Far below, a city that was home to two million people. We are flying with the helicopters of the iraqi army as they fight the so called Islamic State. We are now over old mosul, where the battle is at its fiercest, as the last isis fighters, with many civilians, still trapped in the narrow alleys. And this footage, taken from our helicopters camera, shows the challenges the pilots in mosulface. Radio it shows armed men walking through a war zone with children. Radio military sources have told the bbc this is the clearest example yet of the use of Human Shields in mosul. 0n the ground, major 0sama explains why Human Shields are effective. Isis use the kids so they escape from our aircraft because they know we cant shoot at them. They escape this way. But many civilians have been killed since the beginning of the war. Mohammed is one of the most experienced pilots in the army. He says sometimes he has to trust to a higher power. I ask my god, when i shoot every time, when i shoot the fire, please, god, save the civilians, just kill the bad guys. The Battle For Mosul is notjust about taking back a city. It is about regaining the trust of its people. Every civilian casualty undermines that work and so, the iraqi forces have to take their time. Translation we have two reasons for slowing down. One is the civilians, the second is that we have got to old mosul. It is a difficult part of the city to fight in, full of narrow streets with small houses. It is ancient and crowded. Back above mosul, the pilots circle, looking for targets. They spot a group gathered in an alley. The men have seen us, too. They shoot into the sky. The helicopter returned fire. It is clear why air power has been so vital. Mosul is now surrounded but the battle for the old city will come at a cost. Much of it paid by the civilians still trapped inside. Nafiseh kouhnavard, bbc news. The time is quarter past 11. The headlines on bbc news the Prime Minister has told the people of gibraltar that the uk would never allow it to slip from british control against their will. Rescuers are in a race against time to reach survivors in the colombia mudslides. At least 250 people have been killed. A State Of Emergency is declared. Police make three more arrests on suspicion of Attempted Murder over an alleged Hate Crime Attack on a teenage Asylum Seeker in south london. 5 others are still being questioned. Now time for a sports round up. It may only be 2 april but celtic clinched their sixth consecutive Scottish Premiership title this afternoon, after beating hearts 5 0. They did it with 8 games to spare, Equalling A Record Set by rangers 88 years ago. Brendan rodgers side are 25 points clear of second placed aberdeen. We never have an easy day in our work. The players are focused. We ta ke work. The players are focused. We take that attitude into the game. I have a good group of players that are still developing. Some senior players are still developing and they bring that hunger into the game. From a Coaching Perspective it is great to see. Big congratulations to them and to the supporters because they have been absolutely amazing. In the premier League Arsenal came from behind twice to earn a 2 2 draw at home to manchester city. It was a game that started with a bang. Leroy sane put city ahead after just five minutes. Theo walcott equalised just before half time, but Sergio Aguero replied two minutes later, before Shodran Mustafi got arsenals equaliser early in the second half. It ends a run of two straight defeats for the gunners, but it leaves Arsene Wengers side seven points outside the top 4. It was a game when we were not com pletely it was a game when we were not completely at our best on the field, on the technicalfront completely at our best on the field, on the technical front but they showed strong mental resources and refused to lie down against a team which is always dangerous going forward. We got a point that could help us even if mathematically it is not the best solution for both teams but it was important not to lose as well. At the other end of the table, it ended goalless between swansea and middlesbrough. Swansea had the best of the chances at the Liberty Stadium but couldnt find a way through. Rudy gestede perhaps should have won it for boro in stoppage time but his header went wide of the post. Swansea remain 17th and middlesbrough stay second bottom. Defending champions saracens will be the only british side in the semi finals of rugby unions Champions Cup after they beat glasgow 38 13 at allianz park.

It was dramatic day on the thames at the annual boat races. 0xfords men were victorious, and that made up for their womens crew who handed cambridge victory from the very start of their race. 0rganisers were just thankful that there was any racing at all. Kate grey reports. When an unexploded one World War Two bomb exploded near the start of the yea rs bomb exploded near the start of the years boat race, there were fears it would be cancelled. Emergency services were called in and worked all night to safely remove the device. Racing was given the go ahead. Despite the uncertainty surrounding this event, the crowd have turned out in their thousands, desperate to catch a glimpse of this historic head to head, 0xford versus cambridge. The womens race was over before it began when this happened to the oxford boat as they took their first stroke. Pele standing, and cambridge capitalise on their baggage, pulling further away and eventually crossing the line with a new course record. The mens race was more of a battle in the early stages, with the clashing of laws. But it was the favourites, 0xford, that took control of the race, using all of their experience and power to finish victorious, just a length ahead of cambridge. They ended another memorable boat race, with both teams heading home with a win. Kate grey, bbc news. Great celebrations, there. Back to you, martine. Lets have a quick look at some of the front pages. The cover of the ft features a stark warning from President Trump over north korea. The telegraph also carries the president s comments on its front page, ahead of his first meeting with the chinese premier this week. The i focuses on the row what it calls the Fighting Talk from Michael Howard about gibraltar. The same story is on the front page of the metro, with the paper highlighting the former conservative leaders claim the Prime Minister would consider war to keep the territory. The express says 20 minutes walk a day could save your life, following a report by the British Heart Foundation that three quarters of Heart Patients take no exercise at all. Donald trumps warning to the chinese is the times lead tomorrow, with the president saying he would take unilateral action if necessary to halt kim jong uns nuclear programme. The daily mirror carries a photo of the daughter of tracy wilkinson, visiting the house with her family died last week. Where her. Tributes have been paid to the civil rights campaigner darcus howe who has died at the age of 7a. The writer and broadcaster campaigned for black rights and against racism for more than fifty years. We have been speaking to a former colleague and friend, and he told me how he met him. One of the first things we did was joined how he met him. One of the first things we did wasjoined eight mangled demonstration, which was a demonstration against the harassment of the police. When that happened, the British State acted of it stupidly and through very big charges against them. If you accuse somebody of, say, throwing a stone ata somebody of, say, throwing a stone at a policeman, that is one thing. But the accused them of affray and conspiracy to undermine the state, and all sorts of things. How significant, then, was the Mangrove Nine trial . Darcus howe was the heart of the trial because he chose to defend himself. And there he was, he loved it. He loved every moment of standing up in the box and questioning people. He had been trained as a lawyer. He could do it. I had thejob, the Humblejob Of Summarising for the black panther movement, the days events. Two or three of the defendants were from the black panthers central core membership in the trial. So we used to write up this trial all the time and suddenly, even in the bulletins that i wrote up every evening of the trial, darcus emerged as the articulate star. He spent 50 years as an activist. What did he feel his real achievements had been in all that time . Darcus never boasted about it. He boasted about all sorts of things but never about his achievements as such. But i can tell you that i thought he was one of the bravest, one of the most courageous, and one of the most significant activists for black peoples rights in this country. Since immigration started, say, in the 50s and 60s, that is post colonial immigration to this country, blacks, asians, all sorts came to this country. Darcus was the most. Well, not self effacing in a modest kind of way but a very modest leader, who would speak directly to the people. And when we got to the black panther movement, it was he who inspired us to Start Talking straight and campaigning rather than Writing Articles about race and class, or in fact having ambitions to join the labour party by saying the labour party ought to let, you know, black people in and so forth. We werent fighting that battle. We were fighting battles on the ground, education, schooling, housing, employment. And it was campaign after campaign and it was notjust demonstrations, it was practical things. Like after we left the black panther movement, it broke up. We immediately, he immediately started, or was appointed to be the editor of race today which was a separate magazine, but it wasnt a magazine like writing theoretical pieces about race and class. We actually went into the East End Of London and squatted 400 houses. Two dogs have been killed by armed police and two others seized after a group of dogs were allegedly dangerously Out Of Control in bolton.
