lost their lives in the war. we will be reporting from paris in a moment. first, nicholas witchell looks at how britain remembers the end of world war i. in the field of remembrance by westminster abbey sit the crosses left by families with their messages of thanks stretching back across the generations. tonight, within the abbey, at its place of honour by the great west door, the queen and the president of germany stood side by side while their flowers were laid at the grave of an unknown british soldier who died on the battlefields of the great war. it was a conflict in which many millions from many nations died, nearly one million of them were british. it ended on this day, 100 years ago, with the armistice, described in the memoir of private john jackson. we fought on till the last minute, till on the stroke of the 11th hour, the sounds of war ceased abruptly, succeeded by the great silence. to us, after years of noise,

the calm and quietness of that cold, november day was bewildering. the archbishop of canterbury recalled that for all the sacrifice of the great war, the hope that a better world would emerge from it turned to dust. destroyed by dictatorships, isolationism, turning inwards by the strong, by the manipulations of the ruthless, by depression, by tyranny and ancient hatreds which had not been reconciled. this morning, at the cenotaph, the nation had prepared to mark the moment from a century ago when big ben had signalled the end of the fighting. bells chime for many, particularly those still serving

in the trenches, the happiness that the war was over was tempered by the loss of so many. it was in their remembrance that the cenotaph was originally constructed, and, in timeless fashion, and in a largely unchanging form, the ceremony of remembrance has taken place in every peacetime year since. as was the case last year, the queen watched from a balcony as the national two—minute silence was observed in whitehall and at ceremonies around the country. last post plays in whitehall, after the last post sounded, the prince of wales placed the queen‘s wreath of red poppies against the cenotaph‘s northern face.

and then president steinmeier of germany placed his wreath, 100 years after the end of the first world war in which an estimated two million german troops died — an historic tact of reconciliation. after the formal wreath—laying, it was the turn of the veterans to march past and lay their wreaths. each with his or her own memories of more recent conflict. but on this centenary of the armistice, something different. the people‘s march. 10,000 people each with a particular reason to be there. many with photographs of a family member who died in the great war and with a determination that their memory should not be forgotten. in 100 years‘ time, none of us will be here to do this again, so it feels very special to be here. if we don't remember, then there will be no one else to remember. as the people‘s march passed the cenotaph,

their wreaths were added to the others. it was a recreation of a march injuly 1919. the marchers then were ex—servicemen, many of them wounded, and the wives and parents of those never came home. for them, tonight, beacons were lit, as britain and many other nations remembered a terrible war from a century ago. nicholas witchell, bbc news, at the cenotaph. in paris, 70 world leaders including donald trump vladimir putin attended a service at the tomb of the unknown soldier the arctic —— arc de triumph, they‘re the president warned that all demons are coming back to the service around the world. cathy adler reports on how europe remembered its sacrifice. grief flows unchecked

across borders. regret knows no frontiers. presidents and heads of government of most of the 80 countries involved in the first world war came here to paris today to remember the slaughtered millions of the first truly global conflict. president macron‘s message above all others at this commemoration, we are in this together, in our past, our present and our future. no opportunity was wasted for the french president to drive his internationalist message home. he urged action at a time when he said old demons were resurfacing in europe and beyond. translation: patriotism is the exact

opposite of nationalism. nationalism isa opposite of nationalism. nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. by saying i come first, who cares about the other‘s? we a race what nations holds dearest, what gives it life, what makes it great and what‘s most important of all is moral values. but not everyone here is on the same page as emmanuel macron. united in their pledge of never again today, the world leaders gathered here have starkly competing visions when it comes to how to avoid future conflict. let‘s stick together and work together, insists emmanuel macron, and vladimir putin and donald trump applauded him politely today, but for them a strong and sovereign nation state certainly comes first. winston churchill once said, "those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it."

in an attempt to boost international cooperation, president macron today launched an annual peace forum, mirroring the paris peace conference that followed the first world war. i think it is important that we all remember that we can never take peace for granted and that we have to learn lessons from the past. some of those institutions built after the first and second world wars, the european union, nato, some of those institutions are under pressure. the sounds, symbols and searing memories of the great war echoed across europe today. this was ypres in belgium, site of some of the most blood—soa ked battlefields. then this evening, just as dusk was falling, british and commonwealth veterans, survivors of more recent conflicts gathered together in the paris cathedral of notre dame. remembering a world war

with sadness, praying for world peace in hope. today‘s commemorations saw a unique memorial to those who lost their lives with portrait of servicemen and women etched into the sand on britain‘s coastline. among the towns paying tributes to the forlan was folkestone in kent, where duncan kennedy reports. the piercing eyes of a celebrated war poet, today etched onto the very beach he had once left on his way to battle and death. for wilfred owen, a shoreline for embarkation, this morning became a canvas of commemoration. the project has been organised by the film director danny boyle, who says the face is

a metaphorfor tragedy. look, it‘s wonderful that there are permanent structures that will outlive us and outlast us, but i thought it was a good way to reflect on our own, um, time here, you know, which is temporary, really. as the tide ebbed away, artists crafted the contours of the face. hundreds of people took in the imagery, the symbolism, and reflected on loss and sacrifice. it feels very much like he‘s here and he‘s alive and he is, as you say, representing so many people, really special. really special. the stares of the fallen gazed out from 31 other beaches too. at moray in scotland, captain charles sorley, dead at 20. in northumberland, private william jonas, who perished at the somme. archiejewell, here in cornwall, survived the titanic,

only to be killed by a german u—boat. in lincolnshire, lieutenant basil hicks died on the first day of the battle of loos. in fife, doctor elsie inglis who helped wounded french soldiers. while in thornby, volunteers spoke of their admiration for captain john armitage, who fell fighting at arras. to see the turnout and the particularly the last post and so many people quiet and paying their respects tojohn armitage and first world war casualties, it‘s truly quite remarkable. eventually, the waters of impatient tides rolled in across each face, like the tears of a lost generation, masked by the waves but enduring in memory. the headlines: prince charles leads

clear of happy to united. andy swiss reports on a victory. a friendly handshake before a familiar rivalry. what this was a manchester derby that at first seemed utterly one—sided. city hits six in mid week and emerged intent on repeat bernardo silva going close as they raced out of the blocks. united could hardly get a touch and when david silva fired city ahead, the only surprise was it took 11 minutes. united hung in there until the break, but when aguero began the second half in blistering style the game seemed as good as over. not quite, lukaku game seemed as good as over. not quite, lu ka ku clattered game seemed as good as over. not quite, lukaku clattered by edison and martial gave united hope. with five minutes left it was snuffed out, and how. a mesmeric pass move coolly finished off. it summed up

city‘s dominance. back to the top of the table, and on this form they will take some shifting. there were three other games in the premier league today. liverpool and chelsea have maintained their unbeaten starts to the season. liverpool with a 2—0 win at home to fulham. chelsea were held to a goalles draw by everton. arsenal needed a late equaliser to rescue a point at home to wolves. rangers thrashed ten—man motherwell 7—1 to move into third place in the scottish premiership. they are only two points behind leaders celtic, who moved top on goal difference after a goalless d raw away to livingston. liam kelly kept livvy in the game with a number of fine saves. celtic are level on points with hearts. england‘s women have been beaten at home for the first time since phil neville took over as manager, losing 2—0 to sweden. before the match, captain steph houghton was honoured for winning her 100th cap. but the match didn‘t go the way she hoped. sofia jakobsson opening the scoring with this stunning long—range goal.

and sweden doubled their lead before the break thanks to anna anvegard. 2—0 the final result. world champion lewis hamilton won the brazilian grand prix but it was far from a routine victory from pole position. red bull‘s max verstappen looked to be on course to win the race, but was hit by backmarker esteban ocon, allowing hamilton to retake the lead. and, despite a late charge from verstappen, hamilton held on to claim the win, and guarantee mercedes the constructors‘ title for the fifth year in a row this is what everyone worked for their whole year, you know? everyone wa kes their whole year, you know? everyone wakes up and goes to work every day and tries to bring the best out of themselves, and it really brought us together as a unit. and i have a lwa ys together as a unit. and i have always told us how much of an honour it is to drive for them, and today was the best style we could do it.

we were struggling, we had problems with the engine, and we seemed like we we re with the engine, and we seemed like we were sitting duck at some stage. but they made a mistake which brought us back into contention, and i‘m just so proud of everyone. the opening day of the atp finals in london has produced a big shock, with kei nishikori beating roger federer in straight sets. the japanese had never beaten the swiss indoors, but took the first set on a tie break and claimed the second 6—3. the format is round robin, so federer, who has won the end—of—year tournament six times, could still reach the final. in the day‘s other match, kevin anderson beat dominic thiem and britain‘s jamie murray won his doubles match. that‘s all the sport for now. enjoy the rest of your evening. the governor of california is urging president trump to declare two huge wildfires are major disaster to free up wildfires are major disaster to free up more funding for the emergency

they have been battling, they have had aircraft in the sky as well, and their work has been paying off. so far, they have saved many, many more homes than they have lost. in the us this year, wildfires have burned an area larger than belgium and luxembourg combined — well above average. california is warmer and drier than it used to be. fires are more volatile. things are not the way they were ten yea rs things are not the way they were ten years ago. we look at the fires in napa last year, the thomas fire, the fire in bute county, and aspire, the rate of spread is exponentially more thanit rate of spread is exponentially more than it used to be. i'm surrounded by fire. faced with catastrophe, president trump‘s first comment was a threat to cut california‘s funding if it didn‘t improve forest management. the president of the firefighters‘ union called it shameless,

ill—informed and demeaning. after a brief lull, the dusty desert winds which drive these fires are roaring again. and, with more homes and lives at risk, the governor of california is urging the white house to declare a major disaster. james cook, bbc news, los angeles. back to the armistice commemorations, and today‘s ceremonies were watched by people in cities and towns across the uk. in accrington, in lancashire, they suffered serious casualties on the first day of the battle of the somme. our correspondent reports on the town‘s sacrifice. with the rain beating down on one of lancashire‘s most imposing war memorials, hundreds of people young and old circles accrington cenotaph to remember lives lost. and 100 yea rs on

silhouettes, a symbol of remembrance. this is a community which suffered devastating losses. of the more than 1,000 men who enlisted and took part in a farewell service here in this church, more than 850 never returned. they made the ultimate sacrifice, a sacrifice this town says it will never forget. and tonight, accrington‘s story has been projected onto the market hall, a reminder of the town‘s past, honouring those who fought in the great war. adina campbell, bbc news, in accrington. we will be taking a look at the papers injust we will be taking a look at the papers in just a we will be taking a look at the papers injust a moment, with our reviewers. that is coming up after the headlines at 11:30 p.m.. time now for a look at the weather forecast. hello there. many central

is unimaginable actually what that must have felt like to the people who were involved in that horrendous conflict that went on. so, yes, of course, catapult yourself of course into their mind, the minds of people who were there, and it meant, that‘s what today is about really these are the people who were not there themselves, these were military vetera ns themselves, these were military veterans of long—standing, who have actually been through a war subsequent to that of course. yes, the war that was never meant to happen, indeed. let‘s look at the times, nation salutes the forlan, a picture of the queen in prayer on the balcony from the commonwealth office overlooking the
