for weeks are expected to lead to a huge ground offensive, despite warnings of a humanitarian catastrophe. new claims that a russian dissident murdered in london, whose killers remain at large, had been targeted by agents from moscow in the past. jeremy corbyn insists there is no plan to purge disloyal labour mps, as one prominent critic tells him to "call off the dogs". danny welbeck. and a controversial end to england's first game since the world cup, as they took on spain at wembley. good evening.

syrian and russian warplanes have stepped up their onslaught on syria's rebel—held province of idlib. the heaviest bombing in weeks is expected to lead to an all—out ground offensive by government forces. the united nations is warning that would lead to a new humanitarian crisis in the region. idlib is the last major rebel stronghold in the north of syria. tens of thousands of civilians are trapped there and turkey is warning it can't cope with another flood of refugees across its border. our middle east correspondent yolande knell reports. today in the idlib countryside. the full—scale offensive here hasn't yet started, but these were powerful blasts. amazingly, those nearby survived. activists say the bombing intensified. here, syrian government helicopters dropping barrels packed with explosives.

and after each strike, the white helmets civil defence rushing in, searching for survivors. with the fate of idlib hanging in the balance, its residents are taking to the streets, desperately calling for international intervention to prevent a deadly government offensive in this rebel—held area. many syrians opposed to the regime fled to this province from other parts of the country, swelling its population to three million. and the un warns any battle here will be horrific and bloody. although these rebel fighters are defiant, they look set to be massively outgunned. some are aligned with turkey but in a confusing mix of shifting alliances, much of the province is under the control of jihadists formerly linked to al-qaeda. some residents fled idlib early on in the war.

as refugees here in lebanon, they can see the hills that lead to home, and they worry about family left behind. translation: they're telling us it's terrible, tragic. they don't know what to do or where to go. it's hard. maybe they will get hit as they're running away. the situation has been terrible there for a long time. but president assad, surveying territory already recaptured by his forces, now looks on course to win back all of syria. the support of russia and iran has been crucial to his triumphs. as his troops mass on the borders of idlib, they insist they'll drive out the militants they see as terrorists. so far international calls for a ceasefire are being ignored and there's a growing since that this seven year old war that's killed hundreds of thousands is reaching its final stages. yolande knell, bbc news, beirut.

it's emerged that a russian dissident who was murdered in britain in march believed that two men from moscow had tried to assassinate him five years ago. nikolai glushkov was found dead at his home in southwest london a week after the former spy sergei skripal and his daughter, yulia, were poisoned in salisbury. now the police have re—opened their investigation into an incident in 2013 in which mr glushkov was taken ill after drinking champagne with two russian men. richard lister reports. the murder mystery of nikolai glushkov, a prominent critic of vladimir putin, has just become a little murkier. his body was found at his home in southwest london in march, a week after the skripals were poisoned in salisbury. mr glushkov appeared to have been strangled, but now it has emerged that one of bristol's grandest hotels may have been the setting for an attempt on his life five years earlier when two russian men plied him with champagne.

keith carr was the paramedic who treated him. nikolai had been lying on the floor and he had carpet burns. he appeared like someone who normally would have had an a epileptic fit. the russian had told him that he had been poisoned and he was taken to bristol's royal infirmary. it is the first time in over a0 years that i have ever had anyone claiming to be poisoned. but when we revisited the bri an hour and a half later or so, the consultant told me that it was now being taken very seriously. and they'd handed it over to special branch. the police did investigate but no charges were ever brought and the inquiry into mr glushkov‘s death at this house in new maldon appears to have gone cold. officers are still seeking information about this van, seen near the house before his murder. there has been no official linkage

between the glushkov case and the salisbury attacks. decontamination efforts are under way at the house where sergei and yulia skripal were poisoned. but police say they will not discuss lines of enquiry in either investigation. richard lister, bbc news. the police are questioning a 28—year—old woman on suspicion of attempted murder after a man was stabbed in the centre of barnsley. shoppers described seeing the woman brandishing a foot—long knife and attacking the man, who suffered minor injuries. a market trader has been praised for confronting the woman and persuading her to give up the weapon. sweden's prime minister has used the final day of campaigning in his country's general election to warn of what he called the "dark forces" of extremism. the latest opinion polls suggest stefan lofven‘s centre—left social democrats are unlikely to win a majority, and the far right anti—immigrant sweden democrats will make big gains. our correspondent jenny hill is in stockholm.

let's assess in the mood. how do you judge this and what has been the last day of campaigning? this is certainly the most significant election for sweden in decades. the sweden democrats, the anti—migrant nationalists, anti—eu party looks set to take at least one fifth of the vote. that represents a serious challenge to this country's political establishment. the prime minister is concerned, he is warning about what he describes as dark forces mobilising within the country. sweden, in the last few yea rs, country. sweden, in the last few years, took in more people seeking asylu m years, took in more people seeking asylum per head of population than any other european country and the sweden democrats have made political gain out of that crisis, focusing on

what they see as migrant related crime. this election will no doubt be closely scrutinised in other eu capitals, not least because like so many other european countries, sweden, for all its long liberal tradition, finally seems to be shifting to the political right. jenny hill in stockholm tonight, thank you. egypt has sentenced 75 people to death after a mass trial in cairo. the defendants were arrested in 2013 when a pro—muslim brotherhood protest was dispersed. the court also confirmed life imprisonment for 47 others, including islamic leaders and journalists. violence erupted in cairo's rabaa al—adawiya square, with hundreds killed by security forces. the labour party leadership has said there is no campaign to force out mps who are critical ofjeremy corbyn. a number of mps have faced a no—confidence vote by local party members in recent weeks, and today the labour mp chuka umunna urged the leadership

to "call off the dogs", comments which the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell said were unacceptable. already, centre—left mps are being systematically targeted with motions against them in their local parties, motions brought against them for standing up for these centre—left values. my message to our leadership is clear. it is within your power to stop this, so call off the dogs. our party members are not dogs. our party members are human beings, whojoined the labour party because they wanted to create a better society. they are not dogs. i find it grotesquely offensive. our political correspondent alex forsythjoins me. let's get some analysis. that comes across as a bitter war of words. what is going on? the divisions in the labour party are well—documented. chuka umunna is suggesting they have come to the point thatjeremy corbyn supporters on the left are trying to oust the

so—called moderates. he makes that claim because in the last week alone, three mps, all of whom have criticised jeremy corbyn, have had parts of their local parties carry out a no—confidence vote against them. that is largely symbolic but it adds to the pressure on them. the labour leadership has said the suggestion of any conspiracy is nonsense. john mcdonnell was very critical of the language of chuka umunna, but he said he had invented this whole story. the left—wing group momentum have called for a change in the pa rty‘s rules to have called for a change in the party's rules to make it easier to challenge a sitting mp. they say thatis challenge a sitting mp. they say that is about improving scrutiny and democracy in the party but there are people with genuine concerns. this is likely to come to a head when the party meets for its conference later a former conservative minister has added his voice to calls for a referendum on the terms of any brexit deal. this month. thank you. guto bebb, who resigned as a defence minister injuly, said a referendum would be the only way to break the deadlock

in parliament. earlier this week theresa may rejected calls for a so—called people's vote, describing it as a betrayal of democracy. with all the sport now, here's lizzie greenwood hughes at the bbc sport centre. good evening. england's cricketers are in control of the fifth and final test against india. they‘ re 158 runs ahead going into day three at the oval, largely thanks to some brilliant batting byjoss butler and more top class bowling from james anderson — who's now within two wickets of glenn mcgrath‘s coveted record. patrick gearey reports. saturday morning in south london, england in an oval—shaped hole. here is the man to dig them out of it, jos buttler, batting on his birthday, guiding england from below 200 to above 300 with care and increasing flair. in the end, he made 89, more even than alastair cook yesterday. the buttler outscoring the master as england finished on 332. stirring stuff. nowjoe root asked his bowlers to carry the charge.

stuart broad went into the breach and into the pads. shikhar dhawan, lbw for three. now india under pressure. kl rahul released a valve. the batsman who's struggled for runs this series decided there was little to lose and the game settled in for a mid—afternoon snooze. this was the wake—up call. rahul gone to sam curran, a young man with a knack of making things happen. he's been able to learn from the best. jimmy anderson spent a career luring the likes of cheteshwar pujara to their ends. it's repeatable but irresistible as ajinkya rahane found out shortly afterwards, caught by alastair cook in his last test. anderson, another one closer to becoming the most successful pace bowler of all time. one for the record books. but in the scorebook, kohli still loomed large until ben stokes put a line through him. saturday evening in south london and now it is india in the hole. patrick gearey, bbc news. england have been beaten in their opening game of uefa's

new nations league competition. they lost to spain 2—i but the game was marred by a serious injury to luke shaw and a contraversial disallowed goal. our correspondent natalie pirks reports from wembley. you don't win anything with kids, or so the saying goes, but england came closer than they've come in decades this summer. youth is clearly the way forward. harry kane's boots were golden but gareth southgate was without his waistcoat. the summer is well and truly over. but it all started well enough. shaw looking for rashford and he has found him! luke shaw, back in from the cold for club and country, helped get england off to a flyer. a rare sight indeed, an england goalfrom open play. but england had barely finished the celebrations when spain responded. the spaniards were clearly determined to make amends for a poor world cup. england's new—look defence gave them a helping hand. england had their chances. david de gea's save stopped a sure—fire equaliser. but excitement soon

gave way to concern. a horrible clash turning luke shaw's first england start in three years into a night to forget. he is ok but in the nine minutes added for the injury, england thought they had the equaliser. danny welbeck! inexplicably, the referee ruled it out for a foul. but as controversy raged, the fact remains, england still can't beat the big boys. summer flings don't mean a thing if the romance doesn't continue. england have now lost three consecutive matches for the first time in 30 years. reality check time. natalie pirks, bbc news, wembley. northern ireland's nations league campaign also started with defeat to bosnia—herzegovina. despite dominating for most of the match at windsor park, they fell behind in the first half, haris duljevic the scorer. bosnia then scored again, before a late consoloation from substitute will grigg but it stayed 2—1 and northern ireland are bottom of their group.

—— consolation. there's been a huge shock at the us open, where serena williams has been beaten by naomi osaka in straight sets. the young japanese osaka was playing in her first major final but took the opening set with ease. williams, who was going for a record—equalling 24th grand slam title, looked increasingly rattled and spent most of the second set arguing with the umpire over a controversial decision to penalise her for a coaching violation. she was visibly emotional. it's just over a year since williams nearly died from complications whilst giving birth. meanwhile, jamie murray flew the flag for britain in new york by winning the mixed doubles for the second year in a row, this time with new partner bethanie mattek—sands. it's murray's sixth grand slam doubles title. and that is in the sport. that is all from the team here tonight. from everyone in the

newsroom , very good tonight. from everyone in the newsroom, very good evening, goodbye. sweden is often seen as a model society. our world, a tale of two sweden is. this is a bemused —— bbc news. a massive operation to get rid of plastic waste is being launched today. sights like this have shocked

people all over the world. the damage to wildlife has inspired a bold project with an ambitious goal — to rid the ocean of plastic. and this is the structure that will help to do it. it's been built in san francisco and is launching from there today. it will travel to an area in the eastern pacific known as the great garbage patch, where currents trap plastic. if we don't do it now, all this plastic will start breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces, and the smaller the pieces are, the more harmful and harder to extract from the marine environment. so we feel there is a sense of urgency. so how will it work? a giant tube, 600 metres long, will float on the surface in the shape of a horseshoe. over time, the plastic should gather in a small area and then can be taken out. underwater, a barrier will hang three metres down and trap plastic below the surface. it is meant to allow fish to swim underneath it. but some experts worry that the system can harm wildlife. our major concern is for those passive floaters,

rather than fish, mammals, plankton, jelly fish, for example. they simply cannot get out of the way of this, they are going to be crammed into this and not be able to escape. the plan is to start with one collection device and eventually deploy 60. the people behind the project estimate a full roll—out will clean up half of the great pacific garbage patch in five years. jenny kumah, bbc news. just like old church of baker street, the shetland islands have ca ptu red street, the shetland islands have captured imaginations because of crime filler based there. they are experiencing a boom because of a book called shetland. shetland. the crime drama has enjoyed worldwide success with its likeable characters, strong storylines, not to mention the bleak windswept scenery.

ithink so... we came to see this lovely scenery which we have been seeing in the tv series and reading about in the books. we enjoy the stories and the mystery of trying to solve the puzzles before detective perez does. set. and action! filming is already under way for series five. it is quite a tough storyline and it gets quite gothic towards the end. so, yeah, buckle up. woman screams: jimmy! fans will have to wait until early next year for yet more shetland noir. jimjohnston, bbc news, lerwick. it is time for a look at the weather
