of the first world war has taken place in compiegne, north of paris. the french president, emmanuel macron, and the german chancellor, angela merkel, led the ceremonies, which saw the unveiling of a commemorative plaque and the laying of a wreath. a minute's silence was then held at the glade of the armistice. shortly after the silence, the two leaders completed a symbolic gesture together. this is just a short while ago. the pair enterered a replica railway carriage in a forest — identical to the one where the armistice was signed at 5am of 11th november, 1918. just six hours later, the fighting on the front line ceased. our news correspondent mark lowen

is in compiegne, where some of the main events are taking place. what struck me, watching the commemorations, is that 100 years ago people were celebrating the end of world war i. this was symbolic and moving. we saw a lot of silence. it was a sombre commemoration. and moving. we saw a lot of silence. it was a sombre commemorationm was a sombre commemoration, far less a celebration of military triumph than the commemoration of the slaughter of millions, as president macron has put it, and it is the tone that he wants this weekend to have. this is a sombre moment to remember those who fell, it is a moment to look at the relationship between france and germany and how far come

between france and germany and how farcome in between france and germany and how far come in those 100 years, and also the champion in his words a multilateral and progressive and cooperative and collaborative europe, and that was the scene an image of president macron standing next to chancellor merkel that came out of the day, an extremely powerful moment. the last time a german chancellor will here in compiegne was 78 years ago, when adolf hitler came here at the exact stain spot where the armistice was signed in order to force the humiliating surrender of france, and he and the french authorities also that train cam at where the armistice was signed in and where chancellor merkel and president macron today sat, and the signed a book of remembrance, they listen to the national anthems are both countries, laid a wreath here. a beautiful scene. as dusk is beginning to fall here in compiegne,

just behind those gates in that building is where a replica of the train carriage now sits, and exact replica of what the number 2491, where the armistice was signed on the 11th of november, 1918, and whether french and german leaders sat. you can see the images of them walking away down through the forest, the beautiful autumn colours lit up by the sun, which made an appearance after a very gloomy and rainy start the day. in such a powerful image of reconciliation, echoes of when, in 1984, the french and german leaders back then, held hands. but today you had the french and german leaders paying respects and german leaders paying respects and commemorating the millions who fell and showing that this is the europe they believe in, the peacetime project that brought this continent, torn apart by war, together and chancellor merkel and

president macron very much the champions of that today. president macron very much the champions of that todaylj president macron very much the champions of that today. i was reading up about carriage 2491, the replica i believe came from the same line of carriages, because it was destroyed in berlin, it was dragged there by adolf hitler, destroyed during world war ii. you have two leaders of two countries that have twice been a war with each other, 110w twice been a war with each other, now incredibly unified, but also struck me on a personal level as well. they have a very close personal relationship and that has been clearly on display today. you can still see the two leaders engaging and a lot of close discussions as they have marked this commemoration but also to some extent they are the two perhaps lost most powerful voices of the europe they believe in, a europe which has come together, a force of

multilateralism, and they are joined in paris tomorrow and today they had a meeting with donald trump on the opposite end of the global political spectrum. he is a man who embodies unilateralism, nationalism, who fights very much for the slogan of america first, and in a sense, the feeling i got as i watched the french and german leaders here paying tribute to the past of europe in the future of europe as they see it, they are the minority here in europe. we have the rise of more nationalist forces, in hungry, the czech republic and poland, president putin in russia and president erdogan in turkey, though strong nationalists which president macron saysis nationalists which president macron says is a chilling echo of the europe that came out of the first world war. he has talked of the leprosy of nationalism, nationalism that thunders down into the abyss, and today you have the strong

believe those who came together in this powerful moment. an image, as they sat inside that replica of the train carriage, they held hands, signed the book of remembrance, and that will be an image that will talk to our children and children's children, a sign of what has happened injust100 children, a sign of what has happened in just 100 years. children, a sign of what has happened injust100 years. and the fear of that now been destroyed by the forces that president macron and chancellor merkel stand against. the forces that president macron and chancellor merkel stand againstm is fascinating, powerful and incredibly moving and thank you for bringing that to us, much more coverage of the end of the first world war commemorations on the bbc news website, including more on carriage 2491, a fascinating history that carriage, three times it has seen french and german leaders in there, once the signed an armistice, there, once the signed an armistice, the second time to surrender france to the germans, and today to see

both the french and german leaders signa both the french and german leaders sign a book of remembrance in a commitment to peace. four people, including a one—year—old boy, died following a car crash in sheffield last night. a vw golf was involved in the collision with a people—carrier in the darnall area of the city. three other passengers in the people carrier were also injured — one is in a critical condition. three men have been arrested and remain in custody. earlier, to our reporter, simonjones, gave me more details. we know there were seven people inside a people carrier that was hit by a black vw golf that was being pursued by the police. of the seven people inside the people carrier, we know four of them died, two men and a woman died at the scene. a one—year—old boy was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead in hospital. three other people inside the people carrier and there were two women who were taken to hospital. one is in a serious but stable

condition and the other is in a critical condition. there was also a three—year—old girl taken to hospital, and we are told she has life—threatening injuries. a very serious crash. the three men inside the car that was being pursued by the police suffered only minor injuries. they are currently under arrest and still in custody. turkey says it has given recordings related to the killing of the journalist jamal khashoggi to saudi arabia and four western countries. turkey accuses riyadh of being behind the murder of the saudi journalist in its consulate in istanbul last month. riyadh says the killing was carried out without the knowledge of the crown prince. the headlines on bbc news: one of the key commemorations to mark 100 years since the end of the first world war is taking place in compiegne, north of paris. some 70 world leaders are in france for the centenary. four people, including

a one year old baby, have died when a people carrier was hit by a car in sheffield — that had earlier been pursued by police. the former transport minister, jojohnson, says more ministers may resign over the prime minister's brexit plans and voters were sold a false prospectus in the referendum. england have the lead against the world's top side — the all blacks. elsewhere, scotland are beating fiji 21—17 at half—time. cardiff come from behind to win their second game of the season. and final practice is over at the brazilian grand prix, and sebastian vettel looks like the man to catch heading into qualifying later. i'll be back with more on those stories. the former transport

minister, jojohnson, has suggested more ministers could resign over theresa may's brexit plans. speaking to the bbc a day after his own resignation, mrjohnson repeated his call for another referendum, saying voters had been offered a false prospectus and a fantasy set of promises in 2016 and now had to face up to reality. the prime minister has been negotiating the terms of our exit from the european union. they are, in my view and others' views, so radically different from the brexit that that was billed during the referendum, i think it would be a democratic travesty if we did not go back to the people and seek their consent for our departure from the eu on this basis. so different, you say, from what was billed during the referendum, so different from what was the idealised brexit. i have to point out, there is one person that did that — your brother. boris johnson told us what it would be, what you're saying is, i think it appeared to be

that he lied, got us to vote for leave, and he had no plan for getting out? in the campaign, there were undoubtedly promises made that have shown to be undeliverable. no one can dispute that. we were promised a brexit that would enable us to strike trade deals around the world, we are far from that with the deal that the prime minister is going to produce. we were promised a brexit that was going to unleash our economy as a low tax, singaporean tiger on the edge of europe. 0n the contrary, we are signing up to all the rules and regulations that bind the rest of the eu. is that another way of saying that we were lied to? and we are going to end up... is that another way of saying that we were lied to? we are going to end up ceding sovereignty, not taking back control. look, it was a false prospectus, it was a fantasy set of promises that have been shown up for what they were. we are now faced with the reality of that in the form of the deal the prime minister is about to bring back before parliament. my view is that this is so different from what was billed, it would be a travesty if we don't go back to the people and ask if they do want to exit the eu on this extraordinary hopeless basis.

meanwhile, downing street has ruled out another referendum, as our political correspondent, tom barton, explained. number ten have been clear throughout that there are no circumstances under which another referendum would be held. that said, we are at an incredibly difficult moment in the negotiations. a little earlier, liam fox, international trade secretary, said that, the things that still need to be agreed are the most difficult. and theresa may needs to sign off on this deal with the european union. if any progress is to be made. but once she has done that she has to take that she has to take it to parliament, get itsigned off by parliament as well. jo johnson's resignation isn't going to help that. remainers and brexiteers both making it quite clear that they are not going to back

the deal that is currently on the table. and if that happens, if she loses a vote in the house of commons, to some extent all of the cards are thrown in the air and who knows where they are going to land? as forjo johnson's call for a second referendum, not only is he opposed by theresa may, he is opposed by brexit supporters on the backbenches as well. although many of them say that they support and recognise his assessment of the problems with the deal on the table. this is what one brexit supporter, bill cash, said. frankly, a lot of the other matters about trade deals and about the backstop and northern ireland, about all the other economic questions, are subsidiaries but very, very important to the fundamental question, do you control your laws? because if you get control of your laws, then you can comply with the wishes of the general election, electorate and you can comply with the referendum itself. that is what that

vote was all about. and it is about democratic self—government. if i may say so, looking at tomorrow, remembrance day, the armistice commemorations, that's what people fought and died for. that is a really big question. that's why it is so important that we have to get control of our laws. how much trouble is theresa may in the moment? the biggest question for her is, two big questions, firstly, can she get the deal signed off? tricky, not impossible. can she get it through parliament? the numbers there are looking very, very difficult. once you take into account conservative brexit supporters who have said they are very unlikely to vote for the deal, conservative remain supporters likejojohnson and others who have said the deal doesn't work for them either. plus the dup who are making very negative noises.

the dup leader in the papers again today saying that the deal appears to be on the table at the moment doesn't work for northern ireland. and labour who say this deal, what looks like the deal, doesn't meet their test. that's a lot of people voting against it. does she have the numbers to get it through? the only way in which she is likely to get the numbers is by peeling off labour mps who are more worried by the idea of having no deal than her deal. whether she is able to get enough of them is a big question. it's going to be a tricky few weeks to get to this deal if she can get there, but once the deal has been signed off, getting it through parliament is going to be a whole different story. in the past hour, we've heard from the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, who's been campaigning at an event in teeside — he's been giving his reaction to mr johnson's resignation, as well as his thoughts on the viability of the prime minister's chequers plan. it does nothing to protect very

important trading and jobs for exist in the north—east and we are determined we will hold them to account so we determined we will hold them to account so we can have determined we will hold them to account so we can have a government in britain the serious about fairness and investment across the whole piece. chequers does not do any of that. after all, as the cabinet do not agree with checkers, seven cabinet do not agree with checkers, seven ministers have agreed and we have two johnsons that are at war with the checkers. a constituency voted over 60% leave and 40% of labour supporters voted to leave, 60% voted remain, surely the time now is to bring people together but the relationship we will have with europe in the future, protecting jobs, protecting the northern ireland border, about the trade relationship with what have with europe but there has to be a customs union with europe, access to the european markets. intense wildfires

are sweeping through parts of california, destroying thousands of buildings, forcing the evacuation of entire towns, and — so far — claiming the lives of at least nine people. officials say at least five people were found dead in their cars in butte county, northern california, where fire has devastated the town of paradise. almost all the wooden built buildings have been turned to ashes. it's now threatening areas to the north of the town. further south, more than 150,000 people have been forced to leave their homes. 0ur correspondent james cook sent us this report from paradise, california. well, the devastation, here in paradise, is almost complete. houses for block after block have been destroyed. it's actually quite difficult to identify a lot of the debris that's lying around, such was the intense ferocity of this blaze. power cables are down, trees, as you can see here, are down, and still smouldering.

we have seen a few emergency workers here, we have seen police picking through the rubble, checking. soon we expect search teams to be coming through and looking to see if anyone was left here. there are concerns that people are missing. it is eerie and frankly pretty awful to be walking here in the ashes of people's lives. we have seen some activity though from power crews who are here trying to make this area a little safer. there are power cables down all around. as we drove in we had to be very careful weaving around them and, in fact, that was a power company carjust driving past us now. but as you can see, it's just a really, really bad mess here. 27,000 people lived in paradise and as they fled from this community, which is on a ridge, they were jammed onto roads that were not really designed to get people out in a hurry.

some people had to abandon their cars and flee on foot with children and animals in their arms, carrying their pets. not all of them got out. unfortunately, we are learning about bodies that have been found in charred cars, and the fear is that we will hear about more of that in the coming days. yemeni forces, backed by the saudi—led coalition which is supported by the us and the uk, have launched a major offensive to take full control of yemen's port city of hodeidah. aid agencies have been warning that an all—out attack on the city, which is the entry point for 80% of the country's food imports and aid relief, could triggerfamine. at least 12 people have been killed in flash flooding injordan. nearly 4,000 tourists have been evacuated from the ancient city of petra and a state of emergency has been declared in the red sea port city of aqaba. the victims include a diver who was involved in attempts to rescue people swept away by rising waters.

thousands of plug—in hybrid cars bought with government grants are burning as much fuel as regular cars, according to new research shown to the bbc. data shows that many drivers never charge their vehicles and rely instead on their petrol or diesel engines. subsidies for new plug—ins were scrapped last month, but drivers still pay less car tax and benefit from free parking. joe miller has more. thanks to a subsidised charging point, tech workerjosh's plug—in hybrid always has enough electric power to do the school run or pick up groceries. butjosh might be the exception. the vast majority of plug—ins are sold to commercial fleets whose drivers are not as diligent. when they're regularly charged, plug—in hybrids should be able to do around 130 miles per gallon of fuel, but data compiled for the bbc shows

that many such cars, bought by large companies with the help of government grants, were only doing around 40 miles per gallon. in other words, they were about as efficient as your regular petrol motor. for seven years, buyers of plug—in hybrids were entitled to a subsidy of up to £4,500, but this incentive has sometimes backfired. there are actually some examples where employees aren't actually even charging these vehicles up and the charge cable is still in the boot, in the cellophane wrapper, not actually doing anything. it is ridiculous. the miles consultancy says more charging points would help prevent such misuse, but the trade body which represents fleets says higher taxes on diesel cars are to blame. unfortunately, you've got a situation where a poorly—designed

tax regime is driving some poor behaviours. i think we've got some situations where company drivers are choosing a vehicle based on their tax liability, rather than having the right vehicle for the rightjob. the government says it still believes plug—in hybrid bring significant environmental benefits, but the uk's plan to reduce emissions will depend more on drivers like josh. leicester city football club has honoured the owner of the club, vichai srivaddhanaprabha, with a tribute video and a minute's applause before a match with burnley at the king power stadium. it's the first home match since the leicester owner died along with four others in a helicopter crash two weeks ago. the helicopter went down in a car park near the club's stadium. earlier, thousands of leicester city fans walked together from the city centre to the stadium to honour mr vichai. the 5,000—1 walk was named after the odds the club overcame to net their fairytale 2016

premier league win. the supporters marched from jubilee square to the king power stadium ahead of the game against burnley. on friday, the club announced plans to erect a statue of the chairman at the king power. 0ur reporter, navteonhal, is in leicester city centre and has been watching the crowds march to the king power stadium. after two weeks of mourning, this march represents a chance for the football fans to show their solidarity, to do what fans do best and support leicester city football club and the city of leicester. and to pay respect to the five people who died in that tragic helicopter crash, including the owner, vichai srivaddhanaprabha, a man who was so instrumental in helping the club with the premier league title in 2016. 0vercoming odds of 5,000 to one. it is in reference to that achievement that this memorial march has been dubbed the 5,000 to one

march. it started in the city centre and has been winding its way across the city for a mile to the king power stadium. before it began, i spoke to a few fans about why they wanted to be here. it has been a fabulous turnout. there are thousands and thousands. i think 5,000 to start with. it's going to be around the 20,000, i imagine. and the burnley fans are coming up to support as well. it's fabulous that football is coming together. that's how it should be. and that is down to him, the way he has brought the ball together. leicester city players leading the march. fans with flags and banners, showing their support and respect for the owner, vichai srivaddhanaprabha. there will be a more permanent memorial for him as well. the club plans to have a statue erected outside the king power stadium. today, this is a chance for many of these people

to say their final goodbye to the five people who died in that helicopter crash two weeks ago. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. it is the weekend where you have blue skies overhead one minute and then the next shower turns up, and some have been really heavy. this is the radar picture from early on. the showers started in the south west and wales and then more widespread. some of them heavy. the showers continued to move from the south—west towards the north—east as we go on through the night. there will be clear spells as well and, if the sky stickler for long enough, with the wind is falling light as well, there could be a touch of frost but most places holding up 4-10dc. frost but most places holding up 4—10dc. for tomorrow, armistice day, a mix of sunshine and showers, tending to organise themselves into bands, one band of showers moving

into england and wales and scotland. a few showers kissing on behind, turning wet across northern ireland, between the showers, spells of sunshine and highs of 10—14dc. do all one of the key commemorations to mark 100 years since the end of the first world war is taking place in compiegne, north of paris. some 70 world leaders are in france for the centenary the french president emmanuel macron and german chancellor angela merkel signed a book of remebrance inside a railway carriage identical to the one where the original ceasefire was sealed in 1918. four people — including a one—year—old baby — have died after a people carrier was hit by a car in sheffield that had earlier been pursued by police. the former transport minister, jo johnson, says more and voters were sold a "false prospectus" in the referendum. thousands of leicester city fans have taken part in a memorial walk in honour of those killed

in the helicopter crash outside the club's stadium two weeks ago. driving through the inferno — at least nine people are killed and a quarter of a million forced to flee their homes as wildfires burn out of control across california. now on bbc news it's time for dateline, presented by shaun ley. hello and welcome to dateline london, the programme which brings together leading british commentators with the internationaljournalists who send home their stories under the dateline london. this week — no blue wave for us democrats so no mid—term blues for donald trump.
