which will incorporate eu legislation into uk law before brexit. nearly 500 amendments have been tabled to the withdrawal bill as mp5 seek to strengthen parliament's voice — but ministers say the bill is sound. this is an essential bill in the national interest and will ensure the statute book will continue to function. what he is planning for is no deal and he has no mandate from the british people to do that. a firearms dealer has been found guilty of supplying illegal handguns and bullets — linked to more than 100 crimes, including three murders. officials in iran say more than 430 people are now known to have died in the earthquake which struck an area that borders iraq. nearly 8,000 were injured. inflation remained at 3% last month — increasing food prices were offset by falls in the cost of fuel. in a moment it will be time for sportsday but first a look

at what else is coming up this evening on bbc news... and in beyond 100 days katty kay and christian fraser talk to the chair of the digital, culture, media and sport committee, damian collins about his plan to investigate russian interference in the uk. we get the latest on eu withdrawal bill debate in the commons. many illegal puppies are being smuggled into the uk ready for the christmas trade. all the details from kent. —that‘s all ahead on bbc news. there have been a big rise on the number of people who have a bailiff knocking on the door according to a charity. the money advice trusts said they have been in to collect debts more than 2 million times and the charity says it is deeply

worrying. simon gompertz reports. it is upsetting, sometimes frightening. bailiffs have the power to seize certain possessions if you let them into your home, or if they find a way in. you're on my property. i'm not trespassing, i was sent here by the courts. daniel bostock in nottinghamshire filmed bailiffs trying to enforce parking fines he thought were unfair. have a nice day, chaps. i thought, i'm not paying this. i've got principles, i've not caused a hazard, i've not interrupted anybody‘s rights of access, i've not interrupted the flow of commerce, i've not caused a hazard. they usually make two visits, face—to—face visits, the bailiffs. and who are the top users? not banks or credit card companies, but councils — up 10%. getting bailiffs to enforce council tax debts, that's the biggest one. up 27% giving bailiffs parking fines to deal with, and bailiffs retrieving overpaid housing benefit, that is up 20%. you can imagine a knock on the door from the bailiff, especially if you have small

children, is distressing. we hear about sleepless nights. and it's adding to the cost of debts, because the bailiffs' fees are simply added on. we think councils should be trying more progressive ways of collecting debt, as other sectors are doing. it's an easy option for councils to send bailiffs to your door. the fees are £75 for the initial letter, that is added to your debt, then £235 for the visit and £110 for selling your possessions. but councils say elderly care has to be paid for, as well as services for vulnerable children and things like collecting rubbish. they have a duty, they say, to raise the money they can. simon gompertz, bbc news. motorists should be forced to have their eyes tested every ten years, according to the association of optometrists. they say too many people who have been told their eyesight isn't good enough are still driving. their campaign is being

backed by the family of natalie wade, who was killed by a partially—sighted driver. 0ur correspondent ali fortescue reports. if she walked into a room, as the saying goes, she lit it up. she enjoyed every moment and was so looking forward to getting married. 28—year—old natalie wade died on her way to buy a wedding dress. she was hit by a 78—year—old driver with poor eyesight. there's always an empty chair, and christmas, birthdays, the day she would have been married, they are still very painful. the driver who killed natalie was blind in one eye and partially sighted in the other, but he died before being tried for dangerous driving. but natalie is just one of 70 people who are killed or seriously injured in similar incidents involving bad eyesight last year. the legal standard for eyesight involves being able to read a number plate from 20 metres, but that's something that's only tested when you first take your test. at the moment, everyone needs to fill out a form like this every ten years to renew their driving

license and that involves answering a question about their eyesight and if you're over the age of 70, you have to fill out a slightly more comprehensive form every three years, but it's still a question ofjust putting a tick in a box, there's no requirement to take an actual eye test. the mechanism of self reporting isn't always reliable. we know that vision can change gradually over time, so drivers might not be aware of a deterioration to their vision. the association of optometrists don't have a legal requirement to do anything if they're concerned about a patient‘s driving — it's down to the driver. more than one in three of their optometrists surveyed have seen a driver in the last month who continues to drive despite being told their vision is below the legal standard. nine in ten of them believe the current sight tests are insufficient and they want to see a change in the law. the department for transport say that all drivers are required by law to make sure their eyesight is good

enough to drive. they also say that if a driver experiences any changes to their eyesight or has a condition that could affect their driving they must notify the dvla and speak to an optician. ali fortescue, bbc news. a memorial service has been held at st paul's cathedral for michael bond, the man who created paddington bear. hugh bonneville, who stars in the paddington films, was among the hundreds of guests at the service. michael bond, who wrote more than 200 books, died injune. 0ur arts correspondent david sillito reports from st paul's. dear friends, we are gathered here in this cathedral church to give thanks to god for the life and work of michael bond. so let us give thanks for a bear called paddington, who fitted our world perfectly, because he was different. generations have grown up with michael bond's characters, and today some of his most devoted readers were here for the memorial service. amongst the readings one, of

course, from... "good afternoon," he said. "can i help you?" a bear called paddington, read by his granddaughter, robin. paddington removed his hat and laid it carefully on the table. michael himself was a gentle, kind, polite, friendly man. not loud, not boisterous, not showbizzy, like most of us. he was a really decent soul, a lovable man in the way that paddington is a lovable, polite bear who always raises his hat. it is more than a memorial, it is a celebration of values. the values of a friendly, polite young bear from darkest peru. tolerance, decency and a willingness to welcome strangers. would you excuse us a moment? and from paddington‘s latest on—screen adventures, a reading of tributes by another admirer of the little bear, hugh bonneville. i love paddington bear as much today

as i did as a child in the 70s. we can all identify with him, we have been a stranger in a strange place trying to fit in — whether in a new school, a new town, a new country. over and above that, his spirit of adventure, his optimism, resetting the dial to positive when things go wrong, and they always do, i think those are great characteristic for us to latch onto. a memorial and a celebration of both the writer and a polite and thoroughly decent little bear from darkest peru. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm jessica creighton. here's what we've

got for you tonight. we start in dublin where the first leg of the qualifying play—off ended goalless. 0ur correspondentjoe wilson is there. denmark are higher in the world rankings but ireland have home advantage. who are the favourites tonight? well i think ireland must be favourites because they have this type where they wanted, goalless after the first leg and everything to play for here. they have been able to produce some memorable performances it matters on the big occasions, think of italy, germany, beating wales in cardiff to get to this play—off stage. but as the irish players prepared this week they will know many people in and

around dublin just want them to try around dublin just want them to try a bit more and be more creative and attacking. it is ok to have 28% possession in the first leak. they will need to do a bit more this evening. some interesting team news in that regard to come in just a moment. but this afternoon i met with kevin kilbane in dublin. he played for the republic of ireland over 100 times and this is his take on martin 0'neill over 100 times and this is his take on martin o'neill and his team and their possible tactical approach this evening. we have to show a bit more creativity, we have got to be more creativity, we have got to be more adventurous. we have the players that can do it and i think oi'i players that can do it and i think on saturday we played a bit within ourselves, did not express ourselves. there will have to be times tonight when someone will have to be courageous and take the ball, allow players to move around and then we may become more expensive off the back of that. in terms of

the team and, just one change from the team and, just one change from the first leg, david miller coming backin the first leg, david miller coming back in midfield and danny murphy will start up front on his own. so no start for wes hoolahan, the creative player from no start for wes hoolahan, the creative playerfrom norwich with many were hoping he would get a starting role. he will be on the bench and the possibility that shane long will come on at some point. maybe the winning goal, decisive moment, will fall to him this evening. so either denmark or ireland will seal the final european world cup spot... sweden have already done that. they came past italy in milan last night, holding them to a goal—less draw to win 1—nil on aggregate. and you could say they crashed the italian party... incredible scenes.

sojoy for sweden but despairfor italy. they're missing out on their first world cup in almost 60 years — lets take a look now at some big footballing countries that won't be travelling to russia next year — starting with italy. for many it's hard to imagine a world cup without the azzuri — they've won the world cup four times — the last time in 2006. 0nly brazil have won the trophy more.. it was all too much for retiring goalkeeper gigi buffon. the netherlands are also missing out — the three times runners up are going through a despeartely barren period. since finishing third in brazilfour years ago they have failed to qualify for the 2016 european championship and now next year's world cup. no place at russia next year for south american side chile.

alexis sanchez and co will have to miss out. chile won the copa america in 2015 and 2016. they'll be no united states either. 0ne us journalist described their failure to qualify as "most surreal and embarassing night in us soccer history". and the ivory coast will miss out too — they won the africa cup of nations for the second time as recently as 2015 but they failed to qualify for a fourth world cup finals so... we know 29 out f the 32 sides that will competing in russia next year. the final three places will be decided over the next few days. ireland or denamrk will know their fate tonight. then australia and honduras, and peru and new zealand will battle it out for the final two places. england have already qualifed for the world cup of course, but they have the little matter of the world's most expensive player neymar to deal

with at wembley tonight. brazil are in london for a friendly at wembley, and england manager gareth southgate says he "won't hesitate" to use the younger players in his squad. david 0rnstein is at wembley at us. this could be a test for the young england players tonight. opposition do not come bigger than this and an amazing experience. five england players were given their debut against germany on friday here at wembley. and we could have more in line for a debut with lewis cook of bournemouth, dominic solanke of chelsea and also the manchester city goalkeeper on loan at norwich, angus gunn, coming into line. the names escape me because they're so new to

the fold. they could make their debut tonight and if they do so they would be playing against some huge names, number —— none other than neymar at the world's most expensive player for the gareth southgate was speaking about him in the build—up to the game. brazil on the counterattack, it is one of their strong suits. so we must make sure we're ready for that. and individually have to defend well against him and show patience and have certain physical attributes to cope with him as well. so selection becomes important around that well. you think any player is worth £200 million? if there was to be one it would be him! david southgate says still open—minded about who they will take to russia next year for the world cup so a chance for many to sta ke the world cup so a chance for many to stake a claim. indeed this is a young england squad lacking in experience. but there was cause for optimising and encouragement from

the goalless draw against germany on friday night. the world champions of course. they face an entirely different prospect against brazil —— brazil, research after what was a terribly disappointing performance in their home world cup in 2014. they were eliminated by germany but they have risen under the new coach and many are tipping them for the title in russia next summer. so it would be a great test for england,. david 0rnstein, thank you. well wales of course won't be going to russia next year, but they're also in friendly action this evening. they're taking on panama at the cardiff city stadium. there's still plenty of speculation over the future of manager chris coleman, who's said that the organisation within wales football needs to change. the structure needs to be better. for this current staff if you like,

myself and what i call my bunker staff, for us to take it forward. certain things need to be different. but that is my opinion. rightly or wrongly that is what i think and what i need to improve what we've got. british gymnastics has become the latest sport to become emboiled in an apparent welfare crisis. commonwealth champion dan keatings has told the bbc that he experienced a culture of fear, manipulation, discrimination and bullying. well we can speak now to our senior olympic sport reporter nick hope. gymnastics has been one of britain's most succesful sports — how much of a shock is this? as you say there has been incredible success in recent years with olympic games, seven medals and from that perspective you could see the allegations as something of a shock. but other successful sports such as

british cycling, tae kwon do, para swimming, all have had athlete welfare issues raised so perhaps not so much of a surprise. for british gymnastics this started a few days ago with regards to coaches coming forward , ago with regards to coaches coming forward, a group of them alleging that from the top there has been appalling leadership, and a culture of fear generated by athletes and from an acid prospective daniel keatings says that the fear is very much real. thank you very much for the moment. more sport here on the news channel throughout the evening. the number of dead in sunday's powerful earthquake in iran has risen to more than 460. more than 8,000 people have been injured. officials have called off the rescue operation, saying it's unlikely that more survivors will be found. the iranian president, hassan rouhani, has

visited the affected area. for more on this i'm joined in the studio byjiyar gol from the bbc‘s persian service. the rescue operation has been called off earlier than in similar tragedies many people would feel. is that partly because of the difficult terrain? i think many villages in the region have had no rescue effo rts the region have had no rescue efforts because we have been in contact with so many people on the ground, more than 1900 villages affected and some of those, some of the neighbouring cities and provinces have sent in aid and they managed to get something from ordinary citizens rather than the government. and even yesterday the minister of health said from tomorrow, which was today, they would start to go to villages but

many villagers have said they've seen no one. and they have not even checked up on those places most affected, the epicentre of the earthquake. people from there said they have seen no officials. so the authorities struggling to cope with what has happened? authorities struggling to cope with what has happened ?|j authorities struggling to cope with what has happened? i think there are so many different forces, the military, aid agencies, the red crescent and there is no coordination between them. and even present rouhani went to the major cities affected today and said he promised that there would be blankets, food and water, something that should have happened from the early hours after the earthquake struck. that is why i think the focus of the government was on two major cities. most of the casualties came from there. but they have not
