a huge air and sea search involving five countries, and including the royal navy, is under way to try and locate an argentine submarine. the sanjuan has been missing since wednesday, with 44 crew on board. contact was lost as it returned from a routine mission near the southernmost tip of south america, but there are now signals being detected which may provide clues as to its location. dan johnson reports. this is a vessel designed to play hide and seek in the deepest depths, so finding the sanjuan, its crew and the 22 torpedoes it carries is a real challenge. fresh satellite signals, albeit weak ones, have revived hopes of rescue. they need to check and pinpoint the

location. he stressed they are making every effort to find the submarine, searching the open ocean and the sea bed. this is now an international effort. us navy has flown in deep sea rescue equipment. and hms protector has been diverted to help scan beneath the waves of the south atlantic ocean. the submarine left the southern port of ushuaia on monday, after a routine mission. it was making the 2000 mile journey back to its base in mar del plata, not far from argentina's capital. the search is focused around halfway, in the sanjorge gulf, where the sub last made contact, but it's a huge area and poor weather has made a difficult search even harder. one of the 44 crew members is argentina's first woman sub—mariner. the best hope for finding her and her crew mates alive, is that a power failure knocked out the submarine‘s communications. six countries are now hunting the

watkins, a moment of magic, as mcg illva ry watkins, a moment of magic, as mcgillvary found the line again. in a second, the huddersfield flyer turned provider. watkins eyeing the try—line. .. turned provider. watkins eyeing the try-line. .. is turned provider. watkins eyeing the try-line... is he going to be caught? no, he's not! and that semifinal slot. you may have hit top gear but in the dust to do so, despite finishing with a flourish. bit scratchy at times. still a lot to work on. really pleased to be progressing in the competition. we know we need to be better again but to be in the semifinal is really special. time for the fans to extend their stay, two games for england to find the fluency that will take them to the title. david moyes has lost his first game in charge at west ham. they were beaten 2—0 by watford in today's only premier league match. richarlison scoring a brilliant second goal at vicarage road. west ham are third from bottom afterjust two wins this season. hearts drew their first game of the season at tynecastle after their new main stand was belatedly given a safety certificate this morning.

world cup event in the usa. with less than three months until the winter olympics, they put aside a difficult off—season to come third at park city behind winner germany. the second team also came sixth to cement britain's best world cup result in 4 years. that's the sport. thank you very much. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel, and we are back with the late news at ten. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. goodbye. hello, this is bbc news. let's return now to our top story, and the bbc understands that president mugabe is set to stand down as president of zimbabwe. mr mugabe is set to address the nation later this evening. earlier he was dismissed as the leader of the ruling zanu—pf party, a day after tens of thousands marched on the streets, calling for him to go. he's been replaced by the former vice president, emmerson mnangagwa,

whose sacking by mr mugabe sparked this political crisis and military intervention. my colleague ben brown is in harare and we can speak to him now. what is the latest? well, we are just waiting for this tv address from robert mugabe, which has been trailed for the last couple of hours on zimbabwe on national tv, zbc have told viewers to stay tuned for an address from state house, the official residence of the president. so the whole country is waiting for that and all of harare, where i am tonight, waiting with baited breath tonight, waiting with baited breath to see if he will actually finally resign. it was an extraordinary day here in zimbabwe when his ruling party, zanu—pf, dismissed him as party, zanu—pf, dismissed him as party leader. let us listen in now, and we have that address.

and in the event that resignation will not have been tendered by midday, 20th of november 2017, the zanu—pf chief whip was ordered to institute proceedings for the removable —— the removal of the president, in terms of section 97 of the constitution of zimbabwe, amendment number20. i the constitution of zimbabwe, amendment number 20. i would the constitution of zimbabwe, amendment number20. iwould remind you that another eight names... so, thatis you that another eight names... so, that is not yet the address that we we re that is not yet the address that we were waiting for from robert mugabe, those are some excerpts from today's zanu—pf meeting, where he was dismissed as party leader a little earlier today. but we are still waiting for mr mugabe to address the nation and we will have to wait and

see whether he does resign or not. reuters have been suggesting that he has agreed to step down in his negotiations with the military. 0ur correspondent milton nkosi is in johannesburg. if he has agreed to go, milton, obviously, that has huge implications for zimbabwe, do you think this country will then really change for ever, or will the fact that there is probably going to be another strongman from his government, emmerson mnangagwa, still in charge, will mean that some things just still in charge, will mean that some thingsjust remain the still in charge, will mean that some things just remain the same? still in charge, will mean that some thingsjust remain the same? yes, that could be one of those cases where they say be careful what you wish for. because emmerson mnangagwa comes from the same stable as robert mugabe, they were in prins —— in present together in the 19705 and he appointed him as his intelligence minister when he came to power in the 805. so, this is a long relationship which has just crumbled a few weeks ago, and you have to see

how emmerson mnangagwa then takes this foreword. perhaps he will be more modernising of the party but remember, we really have not had any structural and formal involvement of the opposition, the mdc, for example, and many other smaller parties. so we have to wait and see how the change of the personalities at the top filters down to the system, because from now on, zimbabweans have to decide whether they have any immediate election or an interim government, which will be one of national unity. there are many who are already calling for that. i think that in the spirit of the regional body, they always try to encourage government of national unity, probably taking a leaf from the nelson mandela leadership style, when he came into power post apartheid. so we will wait and see

how this pans out, but what we know i5 how this pans out, but what we know is that president zuma i5 how this pans out, but what we know is that president zuma is still on course to holding that summit in the capital of angola to try and see how they resolve the zimbabwe crisis. milton, if he has decided to go tonight, and it is still a big if, we don't know that, although it is being reported by reuters, how will robert mugabe, and you've met him, how will he be remembered as a leader, as an african leader? so, robert mugabe will be remembered for all the ills in zimbabwe that we see today, he is carrying much of the blame on the economy collapse. south africa is hosting millions of zimbabweans as we speak, who came across the limpopo river, risking their lives in crocodile infested waters, searching for economic

opportunities. so he takes much of the blame for the misrule, the land invasions, which were chaotic in the from but from for a veryeducated'manghe has a'fevr to his name, - he is very degrees to his name, and he is very well thought of, he has got a sharp mind, and he has been respected across the spectrum, especially by pan african —ists, those people who think that there is no room for european interference in african affairs. in fact, european interference in african affairs. infact, i european interference in african affairs. in fact, i was reminded by one of the speeches he delivered in

the year 2002 here injohannesburg, where he told former british prime minister, keep your england and let me keep my zimbabwe. that is what resonated with a lot of people in africa when they think about robert mugabe, beyond his negative side. and has it come to the point where he is really now, do you think, in an impossible position, disowned by the military and his own party, clearly discerned willie by the people, with that huge demonstration yesterday? —— disowned it really. what we are seeing in zimbabwe today, it is not the opposition telling robert mugabe to step down, it is his own comrades, the people who have been supporting him. so he has now reached a cul—de—sac, there is nowhere for him to go. he either will just cling is nowhere for him to go. he either willjust cling on until he gets sacked by parliament perhaps on

tuesday, when they convene, or as they say he has already agreed to step down, which is an unusual thing, i must say. robert mugabe is not known for giving in that easily. we have seen this in the last few days, he never gave an inch in those negotiations with the military and the two envoys that were sent by president zuma to try and help with the negotiation process. so it would be really, really massive and a big historical moment it robert mugabe voluntarily says that he is stepping down, without being pushed. are right, milton, for the moment, thank you very much. —— all right. well, it has been another momentous day here in the history of zimbabwe. robert mugabe being dismissed by his own party, zanu—pf, and also his wife, grace mugabe being dismissed

from her position within the party as well. zanu—pf giving him a deadline, an ultimatum that if he hasn't resigned by midday tomorrow local time, they are going to start impeachment proceedings against him. let's get this report on the day's events let's get this report on the day's eve nts fro m let's get this report on the day's events from fergal keane. it began today with a visit from the generals, bearing a message which left mr mugabe in no doubt that support had drained away from him. at the same time, his own party was meeting to remove him from the leadership. it was a jury that celebrated its way to the verdict. the old man is coming, they say. actually, he was on the way out. how quickly loyalties have turned. an old friend read out the sentence. it had the feel of a show trial. mr

mcga rvey‘s it had the feel of a show trial. mr mcgarvey‘s wife, grace, was was kicked out of the party, with prosecution demanded. it has to be over now? yes, he has to go, enough is enough. the people of zimbabwe showed in numbers that they have had enough. this is the moment when robert mugabe lost power in his own party, the party dominated for so long. and he has 110w dominated for so long. and he has now been replaced as party leader by a man who was one of his closest allies. a crocodile e coli emmerson mnangagwa is known as the crocodile, celebrated here for his ruthless cunning. when it gets its prey... for decades, he enforced robert mugabe's will. the fear is that he

becomes a new strongman. we need a deliberate process that returned power to an elected civilian order, not someone who will be perceived to be the target and the beneficiary of the coup, that would be a disaster. in the centre of harare there was a different atmosphere. gratitude and hopes for reconciliation at this player service. all he had borne the sufferings of the mugabe years. some we re sufferings of the mugabe years. some were personally targeted during attacks by his supporters. you and yourfamily attacks by his supporters. you and your family suffered terribly, do your family suffered terribly, do you feel the nightmare is over? we arejust you feel the nightmare is over? we are just worried about what will happen next. this trusted lieutenants are the ones who carried out his business for him and they will be the ones in power in the future. it is a question of what happens in that transition, whether we get to a place where there are

free and fair elections. these are emotions that have been pent up for yea rs emotions that have been pent up for years was not mourning for what was lost here, and daring to hope. fergal keane reporting. we are still waiting for that address from robert mugabe from state house, the official residence of the president, with some expectation based on those reports from reuters that he has agreed to step down, but we don't know that, we cannot confirm that independently. but it would follow a day of intense negotiations between him and the military, who launched their takeover here last wednesday. they have been trying very hard to persuade him for a number of days to step down voluntarily and not the face further humiliation of an impeachment process. we will and see what the coming hours bring. but thatisit what the coming hours bring. but that is it from harare, back to you. and we will be straight back to

zimbabwe as soon as we hear anything. police in dorset say they are treating the death of the teenager gaia pope as unexplained. the 19—year—old's body was found yesterday afternoon, close to a coastal path near swanage. she was last seen alive on the 7th of november. liz combs is in swanage. the church here has opened its doors to give a place for the local community who are all in shock a place to come together in a moment of grief. yesterday in the town, that was appealing of hope among the hundreds of volu nteers appealing of hope among the hundreds of volunteers who aided police investigations by searching free site in the town. that hope was soon replaced with sadness at the news came through late last night that police had found a body who they believe and are confident is goal—mac, and land where they previously found a pile of her close. —— gaia. today the community

paid respects in their own way, laying flowers with messages of support for gaia's family. today the police remained at the scene and continued to carry out door—to—door enquiries. we are still waiting for an update from the results of a postmortem examination. the three people that had previously been arrested on suspicion of her murder have all since been released under investigation. so while people are here inside the church paying their respects and saying their prayers, gaia's family are still waiting, wanting to know how and why the young girl they love so much ended up young girl they love so much ended up in herfinal resting place. the chancellor, philip hammond, says there's no silver bullet to solve britain's housing crisis. but he told the bbc that a range of measures to be set out in this week's budget will help to get 300 thousand homes built a year. -- 300,000. mr hammond also dismissed suggestions the government should borrow tens of billions of pounds

to fund a massive house building programme. here's our political correspondent, emma va rdy. this is what phillip hammond wants to see, and he's calling time on so—called land—hoarders, saying it is no longer acceptable to have so many sites with planning permission that aren't being built on. today he told the bbc the state would intervene. there are, in london alone, 270,000 residential planning permissions that have not today been built. we need to understand why these planning permissions that are going up all over the country, that will continue to increase across the country, why they are not being built out. on wednesday, philip hammond will announce £5 billion of investment for new housing, and he will reveal a range of measures not only designed to encourage the big construction firms but also schemes such as government—backed loans for smaller developers too. there could also be help for first—time buyers on things like stamp duty. the drive for more housing has cross—party support.

but labour said today the government isn't doing enough for public services. shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell argued this could be funded by ending tax cuts for the wealthy, not through borrowing. stop giving the tax cuts to the corporations and the rich and recognise you have an emergency out there in terms of public services. invest in those public services. and will these be on our roads by 2021? philip hammond said driverless cars are the future and is setting out plans for new investment for technology and artificial intelligence. but will robots eventually put millions of us out of work? mr hammond said that won't happen, but had to clarify his comment that suggested there is zero unemployment. where are all these unemployed people? there are no unemployed people... there are a lot of unemployed people. we have created 3.5 million newjobs since 2010. this economy has become a jobs factory. this budget, says philip hammond, is also about building a country

that's fit for a post—brexit world. but don't expect anything too controversial. that slim majority means the governmentjust doesn't have strong enough foundations to take many risks. sinn fein‘s leader, gerry adams, says he plans to step down after 3a years as the head of the party. during his time as leader, he persuaded the ira to call a ceasefire and pursued a political settlement in the form of the good friday agreement. his decision to resign brings to an end the longest party leadership in britain or ireland. republicanism has never been stronger. this is our time. we will grow even stronger in the future. but leadership means knowing when it's time for change. and that time is now. i will not be standing for the dail in the next election. time for a look at the weather now.
