Theresa May to ask EU for Brexit extension

Theresa May will ask the EU for an extension to the Brexit deadline to "break the logjam" in parliament. She wants to meet opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn to agree a plan on the country's future relationship with the EU.

Also in the programme: 70 villages have been evacuated as flooding affects 23 of Iran's 31 provinces; and we report on life today in Mosul, more than a year after the Islamic State militant group was ejected from the Iraqi city.
