records — the leonardo that sold for a sensational price. coming up on sportsday on bbc news, is football in danger of losing the next generation? a bbc study shows the vast majority of 18 to 2a—year—olds feel put off by the price. good evening. it's five months since the grenfell tower disaster and today the metropolitan police confirmed that the final number of people known to have died in the tragedy is 71. that figure includes a baby who was stillborn in hospital after his mother escaped. detectives began their investigation in the summer with a list of 400 missing people. the final two victims were formally

identified today and have been named as victoria king and her daughter, alexandra atala. here's our correspondent elaine dunkley. it was a night of unprecedented horror as people escaped the flames of the grenfell tower. they were haunted by the thoughts of those left behind. many believed the initial death toll would be in the hundreds, but today the police confirmed that 71 people in total lost their lives. a bit of closure that now everyone has been identified. amongst them, this man's uncle. we have to accept it at face value. people do to question it, but 110w value. people do to question it, but now it's about getting justice for the people that lost their lives that night. the long journey begins now, i guess. identifying those that died has been a mammoth task,

meticulously carried out by investigators. today the final two victims of grenfell were named, 71—year—old victoria king and her daughter, alexandra atala. the challenge has been immense. we have had our specialist teams worked through 15 and a half tonnes of debris on each floor of grenfell tower by hand to find every single fragment that they can of all those that died. that has been extremely distressing to the families and indeed to those involved in the operation. initially in the days following the fire, there were thousands of calls. 400 people were reported missing amongst the confusion. as the months have gone by, police have said that number would be closer to 80, and today, final confirmation that it is lower. but this isn't about a number, it's about the human cost and recognising every life that has been lost. anita rafael behr you people who were killed. as a child, she used to play in the tower. it's going to take a

while for us to know the truth. i don't think it's going to be now, or by the end of the year. i think it will take about two years for everything to come to light. what's in the dark must come to light, that's how i see it. in the dark must come to light, that's howl see it. today perhaps marks a significant milestone, but time cannot heal when so many feel they are so far from the truth. this community has said it will not rest until there are answers for those that survived and justice for the 71 lives lost in this tragedy. elaine dunkley, bbc news. crisis talks are being held in the capital of zimbabwe, harare, after its long—term leader robert mugabe was placed under house arrest by the country's military. officials from south africa are meeting the 93—year—old and also zimbabwe's generals, who deny there's been a coup. 0ur correspondent shingai nyoka reports now from harare. it looks like normal life. the daily

commute to work, children going to school. but look more closely. tanks on street corners, and what you can't sit behind closed doors, delicate and intense horse trading over zimbabwe's delicate and intense horse trading over zimba bwe's future is delicate and intense horse trading over zimbabwe's future is taking place. and here is the evidence — the first images of robert mugabe since he was placed under house arrest. it has to be said that the 93—year—old still looks in charge. 0ne 93—year—old still looks in charge. one of the people in the shot is an envoy from south africa, and here he is with the general who many believe ordered the takeover. loyalty has been a tradable commodity within zanu-pf for been a tradable commodity within zanu—pf for many years, and in these uncertain times, that loyalty is shifting rapidly. representatives from neighbouring african states have arrived in zimbabwe to facilitate a deal that could determine whether president mugabe stays or leaves. robert mugabe's

power is ebbing away. there will be no change unless he resigns or agrees to a handover plan. although the army has said things going, zanu-pf, the the army has said things going, zanu—pf, the party mugabe created, might force him out. mugabe's former deputy, believed to be behind it, has several cards he could play. he has several cards he could play. he has the support of the war veterans, the influential group who kept mugabe in power who now appear to have turned against him. the other power groups that will be key in any negotiations are the party's youth and women's league. the military wa nt to and women's league. the military want to ensure that his departure is done by the book. mr mugabe needs to be persuaded to resign. that is the obvious route to take. if one starts taking the impeachment route, the ill—health route and trying to get the parliamentary vote, this could bea the parliamentary vote, this could be a long and protracted process and the outcome could be uncertain. that would mean that the military needs

to remain in control over that period, and then we have an extended period, and then we have an extended period of unconstitutionality, which is obviously highly undesirable. zimbabwe is once again at the centre of regional crisis talks. people i talked to in harare want a speedy resolution. we don't have many ways about it. mugabe must go. that is the only way. mugabe should step down. he is supposed to step down. as negotiations continue, a nation waits. mugabe maybe 93 years old, but he is still a shrewd, sharp and some would say cunning negotiator. the ultimate comeback kid. and shingai is in harare for us. bring us up—to—date with those talks? we understand that the talks are now done. after days of no

information, president mugabe earlier this afternoon suddenly emerged from what is believed to be house arrest. and for the first time, the public saw photos of president mugabe during those talks. in the meeting was the south african envoys in the meeting was the south african e nvoys as in the meeting was the south african envoys as well as members of president mugabe's cabinet. unsurprisingly too many people, the generals. and he appeared relaxed, not as if he was under any kind of duress, hands in pockets, chatting to the general, who was smiling. so right now, people are confused about what is going on. the army has said this is not a clue and that president mugabe remains in charge. —— this is not a coup. the photos appeared to push the narrative that president mugabe is still in charge. shingai, thank you. a 49—year—old man has been arrested by police in dorset on suspicion of the murder of gaia pope. the teenager, who has severe epilepsy, was last seen nine days ago.

earlier, police found items of women's clothing in a field near swanage. a search is now taking place in the field and surrounding area — as our correspondent duncan kennedy reports. this is the cliff area above swanage where the woman's clothes were found. police have beenjoined by specialist coast teams from the coastguard and other units. 0fficers say the pieces discovered were similarto say the pieces discovered were similar to clothing worn by gaia. the items of clothing were found by a member of public at 10.30 this morning. since then, this patch of coastline has been sealed off as police have carried out further investigations. gaia, who is 19, has been missing for nine days and has severe epilepsy. tonight, police said they had made an arrest. this afternoon, we have arrested a 49—year—old male on suspicion of

murder. he is believed to be known to them two and is from the swanage area. speaking before the police announcement, gaia's father richard said all her family announcement, gaia's father richard said all herfamily are announcement, gaia's father richard said all her family are finding announcement, gaia's father richard said all herfamily are finding her disappearance extremely hard to deal with. the family know she will be found. we don't know that. but we have every hope with every minute that goes by. it is... you know, you can imagine. it's just that goes by. it is... you know, you can imagine. it'sjust about that goes by. it is... you know, you can imagine. it's just about the toughest thing we can go through. it's tough, but we will hang on in there. we will hang on in there for gaia. for her sisters, for her mum, for everybody, we will hang on in there. earlier this week, police released these cctv images of gaia

while she was running on a road in swanage. and at a petrol station in the town, buying an ice cream on the afternoon she disappeared. police divers and other search teams have been operating in a number of locations around the town. 0fficers say those will continue for as long as necessary. duncan kennedy, bbc news, in swanage. 20 people have claimed they experienced "inappropriate behaviour" by the actor kevin spacey, following an investigation by the old vic theatre in london. the hollywood star was artistic director there between 2004 and 2015. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba is at the old vic. tell us more about what they found. when allegations first became public about kevin spacey, the old vic launched an independent inquiry. dozens of people came forward, many of them with what are of course unverified accounts and allegations.

20 of them were all younger men and they said kevin spacey had behaved inappropriately towards them. none of the allegations involved rape, but 14 of the men were encouraged to contact the police because the independent investigators said that the alleged behaviour could constitute a criminal offence. the bulk of the allegations took place between 2004 and 2009, during kevin spa cey‘s between 2004 and 2009, during kevin spacey‘s tenure as artistic director. the majority of those alleged reported incidents took place here at the old vic theatre in london. the old vic has apologised, saying new procedures are in place to ensure something like this can never happen again. there has been no response to today's allegations from kevin spacey. liz oh, thank you. the government has signalled that tackling housing is likely to be a key theme of next week's budget. today, ministers announced a technical change, reclassifying housing associations as private, not public bodies, in the hope that it will lead to the building of more affordable homes.

but labour said the government had no coherent plan to address the "housing crisis". our home editor, mark easton reports. after building the fewest social homes since the second world war, the prime minister have tea with council house tenants rita and va lverde to council house tenants rita and valverde to illustrate how providing affordable homes is now her personal mission. the government is clear. we wa nt mission. the government is clear. we want more people to be able to have the security of a roof over their own head, their own home, for themselves and their family. meanwhile, the communities secretary in bristol today was stressing how united the government is on building a lot more homes. i am committed to building more of the right homes in the right places at the right prices. so is the prime minister. so is the chancellor. it is the chancellor is not as voters who was the focus of today's choreographed

government activity on housing. number ten and the community department have been urging the treasury to do something big on housing in next week's budget. the signs are that all that lobbying may have paid off. today, housing associations in england, nonprofit organisations would provide most sociable and affordable homes, were officially designated as private bodies, which means that £63 billion of borrowing moves off the public sector balance sheet. and some think that gives the chancellor a bit more flexibility ahead of his budget next week. so what would housing associations like to see him do? it's great to see that housing is at the top of the political agenda. we are hoping to see more help for social housing. we build a social rented home, it takes a 30 years before we get that money back, so we need help in the form of land which is affordable for the rents we need to charge, or in terms of some kind of money subsidy. and what does the

labour party think of the chancellor's challenge? homelessness has gone up 50% since this government has been in power. rough sleeping has doubled. 0vercrowding, we have not seen on a level for generations now. this is a crisis that has to be tackled. some even in the conservative party recognised that, but philip hammond doesn't seem too. the government is giving a big build—up to a budget on building. but many in the housing sector say they have heard it all before, and even the chancellor is warning that there is no silver bullet to providing the homes that britain needs. mark easton, bbc news. the time is quarter past six. our top story this evening: the metropolitan police have confirmed the final death toll from the grenfell tower tragedy as 71. and still to come... the impacts of social media and advertising on young people's body image. we hear from students about what they think about how they look. and coming up on sportsday on bbc news,

playing himself into ashes contention — opener mark stoneman hits the first century of england's tour as the tourists find their feet down under. the millions of sheep, cattle and other livestock that roam our countryside are a crucial part of the rural economy and landscape. but in a new report, mps say they're increasingly vulnerable to attacks from dogs. last year, it's thought around 15,000 sheep were killed by dogs. in the same year, 49 dogs were shot by farmers for chasing or killing sheep. 0ur rural affairs correspondent claire marshall has been looking at the impact on farmers, and at some of the ways to tackle the problem. and you can see where she has been bitten on the neck here, it is quite badly infected. benjones tends carefully to the rest of his flock. almost 20 of his sheep have been

killed in dog attacks this year. dozens more have been injured. he wanted to expand his farm, but now he has to spend time patrolling his fields. the dog was a black labradoodle dog, just a normal family pet. the attacks have cost him a crippling £3000. it will be years before we recover from it. does it make you want to give it all up? i don't want to give it all up but we can only keep going for so long. we can't just keep buying replacement ewes. today's report by the all—party parliamentary group for animal welfare reveals that farmers across the uk are facing the same issues. last year dogs killed at least 15,000 sheep and increasing numbers of horses are being attacked by dogs, almost 100 cases so far this year. my dog is not vicious or savage, but she will not come back when i call her. if she were to chase

some of these horses, she could cause real problems. so i just can't let her off the leash. the report says dog owners should properly train their animals, like here at a centre in bridgend. at the moment, if a dog is worrying sheep, it can be shot dead by a farmer. if it kills one, the owner could be fined £1,000 or the dog seized and potentially put down. the key thing here is all of these things can be totally preventable so if we put the training in early, if we make sure we put in preventative messages, and this is what we would encourage people to do. these owners have got the message. i probably would not let my dog off because i think all dogs can attack. they are dogs in the end. the owners needs to take more responsibility because it is not the dog's fault. they are just following their natural instincts, so yeah, the owners need to take more responsibility. they should be the ones getting in trouble, not the dog. mps say the current law is not enough of a deterrent. they suggest measures including

increased fines for repeat offenders and, controversially, perhaps allowing farmers to temporarily divert footpaths. claire marshall, bbc news. retail sales last month were lower than a year ago, the first annual fall since 2013. but today's figures from the office for national statistics were better than some had expected. our business correspondent emma simpson is at brent cross shopping centre in north london. so emma, something of a mixed picture? yes, but based on all the evidence we have now had, i think it is fair to say 0ctober has been a tough month for retail. 0n today's figures, if you compare 0ctober month for retail. 0n today's figures, if you compare october to the same period last year, retail sales based on the amount of stuff we buy were down 0.3%, that's the first time the numbers have turned

negative in four years. basically we are spending more and buying less and the main reason is prices have been rising and wages have not been keeping up. look at average stock price rises, in october it was 3.1% up price rises, in october it was 3.1% up on the year. the mild weather hasn't helped, it's not easy when you are trying to sell winter woollies. the big question now is what will happen at christmas. the next five weeks will be absolutely crucial for many businesses. 0ur shoppers holding back for a big splurge? well, in case you need reminding it is black friday next week and i think that will be the first real test of festive spending. thank you. emma simpson. one of the few women allowed to fly

with the air transport auxiliary during the second world war has died. joy lofthouse, who was 94, delivered spitfires and other aircraft to the front line, from the factories where they were built. she was one of only 164 female pilots in the service. how concerned are you about young people and body image? a report this week says the influence of social media, advertising and education can all create a lack of confidence that can lead to poor mental and physical health. 0ur correspondent adina campbell has been talking about body image with a group of students in west london. because of the way society is, you have to have a contoured cheekbone, just have your face highlighted, certain eyebrows, no thick eyebrows. everything has to be so perfect.

when it comes to body image, like, i definitely know i could look better and everyday i look at it and i think, "oh, i've got to get that six—pack." say like i see all those models with thin waists and the big bum and everything and i'm sort of like, wow, why can't i look like that? a frank and open discussion about body image at westminster college. is social media the main cause of having such a negative perception of yourself? social media and media in general should kind of think about their target audience and think about who is looking at these posts. a lot of young people kind of have this desire to be like, oh, i'm famous on instagram, and get as many likes as we can, to make themselves feel better. the stream of where it all comes from isn't actually from other sources, it's from ourselves. we need to actually figure out that it's ourselves who are to blame for the way we feel. for years, this girl was bullied for having a beard after being diagnosed with polycystic ovaries, but rather than hide away, she wears herfacial hair with pride and says those behind the brands need to do more. here we are on one of the uk's busiest high streets. what do you see in these shop windows? i only see one type of image portrayed and that tends to be a tall white woman that, you know, abides by the standard set

of beauty right now in society. and it's very unfortunate that there's not much diversity out there that represents all of us. the youth select committee has just delivered its report on body confidence of the government. this is something that's been going on for decades. do you really believe we will start to see a change some time soon? it's a difficult culture to change, and it's going to take an entire society to change to ensure the next generation doesn't value themselves in the way they look in the mirror. magazines are also facing questions over faces on their front covers, and the way pictures are edited. last week actress lupita nyong'o hit out at grazia magazine after it altered her hair. back at the college, talk turns from looks to self—awareness. we all have that need to be liked, to be loved, to be found attractive, and the problem with most of us is we fall into that trap. we want to be that type of person that everyone wants to hang outwith. we forget who we actually are. a painting said to be by leonardo da vinci has smashed all records

after being sold at auction for a staggering £341 million. the painting, depicting jesus christ and known as ‘salvator mundi' — or ‘saviour of the world' — sold in new york last night. leonardo da vinci died in 1519 and there are fewer than 20 of his paintings in existence, as our arts editor will gompertz reports. what am i offered here? let's open this at 70, 75... it was always going to fetch at least $100 million, but could it go any higher? 200 million is bid. it could. i thought so. 300 million? and did. 320 million, we are still not done. until... at 400 million, leonardo's salvator mundi, selling here at christies, $400 million is the bid and the piece is sold. to gasps and applause it reached an astonishing,

unprecedented figure for a work of art sold at auction. add fees and the price rises to $450 million, which is a lot of money to pay for a painting that is said to be in poor condition and has had questions asked about its authenticity. are you absolutely sure it is not a fake? we have got all the scientific examinations and we have done an enormous amount of research and it absolutely breathes leonardo, notjust the kind of assertion of saying well, it's leonardo, but he embeds so much knowledge in a work of art and in this case a knowledge of rock crystal which is what the sphere is made of. this painting is what you might call the ultimate trophy. there is only one in the world, so if you buy it, you are the only person who has got the last leonardo da vinci in private hands. and you have got the ultimate trophy. to help put into contextjust how extraordinary last night's £341 million price was, it is worth noting that the previous record for an old master at auction was what was for now what seems a piffling £49.5 million for rubens'

massacre of the innocents in 2002. the most any painting has ever achieved at auction before yesterday was £150 million paid for picasso's women of algiers in 2015. as to who now owns salvator mundi, we don't yet know. that is what you might call the $450 million question. time for a look at the weather. here's louise lear. i have my own masterpiece behind me, a glorious autumn scene from this weather watcher. it was 15 degrees in parts of southern england, that's very good indeed. furthermore across cairngorm it was minus four with 90 mile—per—hour winds. the winds will stay confined to the north of scotla nd stay confined to the north of scotland but the cold air is heading further south, as high pressure builds and allows things to quieten down overnight tonight. those

temperatures will fall away. we will continue to seek strong winds in the far north so not as cold here, but in parts of rural 0xfordshire and wales we could see minus four degrees in the morning. at nine o'clock the temperatures will start to make a recovery, perhaps a few degrees above freezing by events with sparkling skies and lots of sunshine across england and wales as we go through the day tomorrow. scattering of isolated showers into northern ireland and some into scotland. these will be hit and miss but when you factor in the gales, some will be squalling with hale, thunder and even snow to higher ground so it won't be a particularly pleasa nt ground so it won't be a particularly pleasant day, especially on exposed coasts. and a noticeable difference to the feel of the weather generally across the country. top temperatures likely of around eight to 11 degrees. into the weekend it looks

like the cold air is desperately trying to hang on into the far north—east and that's where we are likely to see the best of the sunshine, but this will introduce more in the way of cloud and some spots of rain so it looks like it will be milder and damp in the south—west but we keep the cold and sunny with maybe some early morning frosts the further north and east you are. that's all from the bbc news at six so it's goodbye from me and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. hello. this is bbc news with martine croxall. the headlines now: police investigating the disappearance of 19—year—old gaia pope in dorset have arrested a 49—year—old man on suspicion of murder. the metropolitan police say 71 people are now known to have died in the grenfell tower fire. the final death toll includes a stillborn baby. the future of zimbabwe's president, robert mugabe, hangs in the balance. the ousted leader is in crisis talks with regional envoys and the military, who seized control of the country. london's old vic theatre receives 20

claims of alleged inappropriate behaviour by the actor kevin spacey during his time as artistic director. a pledge to build more homes — the prime minister promises to take personal charge of dealing with britain's housing crisis. in a moment, it will be time for sportsday, but first a look at what else is coming up this evening on bbc news. at 7pm, beyond 100 days has more on the controversy surrounding us senate hopeful roy moore, as two more women come forward with claims of inappropriate behaviour.
