And coming up john crowley of the International Business times and the daily telegraphs tim stanley help me review the sunday morning papers, including the daily telegraphs exclusive on prince harrys struggle to come to terms with his mothers death. That is the papers, in half an hour. Good evening and welcome to bbc news. Turkeys president , recep Tayyip Erdogan, has declared victory in a controversial referendum granting him sweeping new powers. He said tonight the country had opened a new page in its democracy, but opponents say the result amounts to one man rule, with the president now able to abolish the role of Prime Minister, and if necessary, dissolve parliament. It was a close vote, with widespread support for the constitutional changes in rural areas, but with many rejecting the proposals in the bigger cities. Opponents are alleging voting fraud, and say they will challenge the result. Our World Affairs editor john simpson reports from istanbul. Tonight, the victors were out in force, celebrating as though they had won by big majority, instead of bya had won by big majority, instead of by a whisker. In fact, here in istanbul, and into the s two of the largest cities, izmir, and ankara, the capital, the no campaign seems actually to have one. The worry is that the result has been too narrow to settle anything for good. The bangs are notjust fireworks. Those are guns being fired. The fact is that there is a big underlying level of nervousness and anger here, which really the result of this referendum, being so close, hasnt done anything to calm down. Recep Tayyip Erdogan will be a world leader, god willing, says this man. No, no, no. This is the history, is the however slight his majority in the however slight his majority in the referendum, president erdogan has taken the decision to push through his far reaching constitutional changes, and deal with any consequences. Translation today, the decision made by the turkish public is a historic moment. This is not an ordinary decision, this is not ordinary day, it a very serious changes are under way for turkey ss future. Serious changes are under way for turkey ss future. Then he went out to speak to some of his supporters face to face. They chartered bring back the death penalty, and he seemed favourable to that they chanted. His argument all along has been that only a really strong presidency can galvanise turkey into being successful and wealthy. So heres getting rid of the old constitutions checks and balances. He is giving himself the power to hire and fire the countrys judges, and he has made it possible for himself to stay as president until 2029. There have been one or two small opposition demonstrations, but he stamped down so hard on his opponents in recent years that they are reluctant to come out on the street in any great numbers. The yes campaign might not have won that popular vote in the capital, ankara, but there tonight it had its celebrations all carefully choreographed in advance. This has indeed been a day on which history was made, but it is likely to cut turkey off further from its old allies in Western Europe and america. What we have seen today looks like a major change of course. Inafew in a few moments we will speak to oui in a few moments we will speak to our correspondent in ankara for more on what has been happening since that vote finished. America says it is working on a range of options with china, amid rising tensions over north Koreas Nuclear and missile programmes. Pyongyang attempted to test fire what is thought to be a Medium Range Missile this weekend, from a base in the shinpo region on the east coast, but it blew up shortly after take off. The launch is being seen as a provocation, coming shortly before the us Vice President , mike pence, arrived in south korea. Our Correspondentjohn Sudworth is in the north korean capital, where his movements are being monitored and tightly controlled. This flower show, like almost Everything Else in north korea, is dedicated to its ruling family. This is the stand of national defence. And this display is in honour of their abiding obsession, missiles. Is it a little strange to have rockets and missiles in a flower show . No, not strange at all. There are reports that there was a missile test this morning. Yeah. And some suggestions that it failed. Have you heard these reports . This is not a failure. We will win, and we will have greater successes in the future. There has so far been no mention of the missile on north korean tv. But it is true, every launch, failure or not, takes the military one step closer to its goal. The timing of the latest missile test is significant, coming just a few hours before the us Vice President , mike pence, arrived in the south korean capital, seoul. It is a message of defiance from here in pyongyang. Its quest to become a fully fledged Nuclear Power continues. At its big military parade yesterday, it put some of its newest missiles on display. The decades of threats and sanctions against north korea have clearly done little to stop it. Mr pences talks will focus on trying to find something that will work. Senior Officials Say Military Options are on the table. The president has made it clear that it will not accept the president of the United States and its allies in the region being under threat from this hostile regime with nuclear weapons. And so we are working together with oui and so we are working together with our allies and partners and with the chinese leadership to develop a range of options. At pyongyang zoo today, there was a relaxed holiday atmosphere. The looming crisis seems far from anyones mind. North korea appears confident that president trumps threats will turn out to be hollow, and that he will conclude, like others before him, that war carries far too many risks. The number of people thought to have died in a bomb attack in syria yesterday has risen to 126, including 68 children, according to local activists. They were among busloads of civilians being brought out of two pro government towns in the north west that have been under siege. The blast happened on the outskirts of aleppo. This report from our Diplomatic Correspondent James Landale contains some distressing scenes. They were heading for what they thought was safety, thousands of civilians from government held villages had been under siege by rebel forces for two years. Just a Short Bus Ride from aleppo, and a better life. But then this. A massive suicide bomb attack. A vehicle supposedly carrying food, packed instead with explosives. Devastating the convoy of buses and cars. A potato truck, as they were hungry, comes and offers for the kids potato chips, potato bags. So the kids, who were very hungry, they left, some of them left the buses, went to the truck, and as soon as they approached the truck, it exploded. And that is why it emerged today that among the 126 dead were 68 children, according to british based activists who monitor the conflict. Hundreds of others injured in the attack were rushed to hospital in aleppo. It is still not clear who was responsible for the attack, although local islamist rebel groups have denied any involvement. The people travelling in these buses were part of a deal between government and Opposition Forces to evacuate civilians from towns besieged by both sides. They were attacked as they waited for another convoy to get going in the south, evacuating civilians from rebel held areas. But an attack like this, that left so many dead, will raise doubts about whether there will be more Evacuation Deals in the future. The remaining survivors in the convoy continued theirjourney on to aleppo in relative safety. The United Nations condemned the attack, and urged all sides to ensure the security of evacuees. But there are already fears that civilians in rebel held areas may now face revenge attacks. One of the biggest Teachers Union says children with Special Needs are not getting this port they are needing because of budget cuts. Speaking at the Nasuwt Conference in manchester, the general secretary warned that pupils could be seriously compromised, without extra funding. The government insists its spending nearly 100 million extra on education this year, as our Education Editor Branwenjeffreys explains. Oscars tan. He is a bright, clever little boy. He is friendly and sparky and smiley, but his autism causes him an awful lot of issues with the world, thatjust and set up for children like him ten. That includes primary school, where support was patchy. Oscar went pa rt time, support was patchy. Oscar went part time, but struggled. Support was patchy. Oscar went parttime, but struggled. Oscars meltdowns can include self harm. So he will bite himself, he might headbutt, headbutt doors, walls, that can involve having to sit there with a cold, pressed between the wall in his head. I want the handcuffs. So you want to arrest us . Children with Special Needs are seven times more likely to be permanently excluded. That is what happened to oscar last year. Then a placement at a special school breakdown. The impact that we have got as we have a child with very little self worth. Weve got a child with Mental Health issues. We now have in the region of a0 professionals involved with our family. We feel massively let down by an Education System that is meant to help us. Extra money has gone to councils to top ups shall needs support, but charity say the demand for help is rising faster. Getting the support you need for a child with Special Needs can feel like a relentless battle. And with School Budgets facing their biggest squeeze for 20 years, that is likely to get harder. And if more children like oscar are excluded, the local council has to pick up the pieces. He is waiting for a place at a more expensive Autism School to be confirmed. The battle to agree it has been left has left oscar at a school for many months. All of the failure to provide for him is financially driven. He doesnt understand why he cant lay with his friends, he gets very distressed about it. He doesnt entirely understand what has happened, because for him we had very good days where his needs were being met, and things went really, really well. And his understanding is, but mummy, when they help me, i can do it. Two weeks ago he threatened to take his own life. We ended up on Suicide Watch for two nights in a row, with very little sleep. We have not asked for anything he is not entitled to stop we have not asked for the world, we have been very clear that we just want him to have a fair access to an education, like any other child. Just like his sister madison, who goes to a local school, something oscars family believes would have been possible with early support. Lets return to turkey now. President recep Tayyip Erdogan has claimed victory in the referendum on granting him sweeping new powers, saying it was won by a clear majority. The Main Opposition Party is challenging the result. We can speak to our turkey correspondent mark lowen, who is in the turkish capital. Mark, what will happen next . That is a huge question going forward. You have one side of the country tonight that is jubilant, that feels it has clinched victory, and it has given president at president erdogan, giving him sweeping new powers. The other side of the country that is not accepting this result, claiming massive voting regularity, saying that 1. 5 million votes which should have been declared invalid because they lack the official stamp of the electoral supreme the official stamp of the Electoral Supreme Board were actually given to the yes side, and that electoral observers were blocked from south eastern Polling Stations in the south east of the country. They have vowed, the opposition, to challenge this at the high court, at the electoral supreme court. So really, in a sense, in terms of the stability of turkey in the short term, going forward, this is possibly the worst possible result, going forward. And really, when you look at the breakdown of the votes, more rural, high outside of the Country Voting in favour of president erdogan, the more cosmopolitan, western looking cities voting against him. Turkey is let down the middle, more polarised than ever, and it is pretty hard to conclude tonight that turkey does not feel very lost. Thank you very much.

The Us National Security advisor has said theres now an International Consensus which includes china on the threat posed by north korea. 126 people, most of them children, are thought to have died in yesterdays bomb attack on buses carrying evacuees from besieged towns in syria.

Barry hearn declined to comment tonight, but he recently told the bbc that osullivan isnt treated differently to anyone else. Ronnie osullivan is a great player and a great advert for our game. He gets a small media, more ratings than anybody else. And for that we love him, of course, we admire his ability. But that is where it ends. There is no exceptions to people and they can be.

Martin bashir, bbc news, in central london. The tombs of five former Archbishops Of Canterbury have been found by builders undertaking Refurbishment Work in london. Undiscovered for centuries, the conference was found ina centuries, the conference was found in a hidden crypt. Lambeth palace has been the London Residence of Archbishops Of Canterbury since the 13th century. But a chance discovery during recent renovation work next door yielded a startling discovery. Some of them are still there. A very interesting day. We were exposing the ground as part of the job, and we were lifting the slabs in this area, and we uncovered an entry to what looked like a tomb, and we got a camera on the end of a stick and discovered numerous coffins, and one of them had a gold crown. We knew the archbishops had been buried there, but all of the other bodies had been taken away by the victorians who rebuilt the church, so it was just this one that was left, to our surprise. Among the 30 lead coffins, they believe there are five former archbishops. I came here thinking, this sounds like bad news, problem, and, wow, it is the crown, the mitre for an archbishop, gleaming in the dark. We know there are five archbishops buried here. The first was archbishop bancroft, who chaired the committee that wrote the king james bible. What we dont know is who else is down there. The redeveloped Garden Museum where they were discovered is due to reopen next month. You are going to get a clue of the steps leading down, and we will hopefully put on a little exhibition. It is very much deep underground. For now, the coffins will remain where they are. The vault in which they sit is too fragile to explore. Lets have a look at the weather forecast. Not too bad at the moment if you consider it is april and an extended Bank Holiday Weekend as well. Most of us have gotten away with it so far. And even if you have gloomy skies, tomorrow offers something a little brighter. Pasteurised to the north, speckled shower clouds on the way. This was the cloud with us today with outbreaks of
