no support yet for theresa may's deal but no agreed alternative. the organisers claim that a million people took to london's streets to call for a new referendum. the people's vote campaign says this will bring the country together but their opponents believe it will only deepen divisions. so far brexit has proven divisive. we were not told what brexit would look like because we did not know. now we know, we should be able to make an informed decision. people can voice their latest views. you

accept a softer brexit i think anything is better than teresa's deal or no deal. solidarity from scotland... the smp and most opposition leaders have publicly pledged support for a new referendum. jeremy corbyn is not here but they say labour would vote for it in parliament. there is a large caveat. i will help you get it over the line to prevent a disastrous no—deal brexit but i can only vote for a deal if you let the people vote on it also. theresa may is not yet confident enough to guarantee that she will bring her deal back to parliament for a further vote next week. the punters hope that will give them an

opportunity to push the case for a new referendum but that decision will not be taken by thousands of people on the street but by fewer than 650 mps and so far they have resisted all calls for a public vote. they are looking at a similar relationship to norway, others back a free like canada's and some say no deal could be the best option. but these campaigners are being accused by long—standing live supporters of trying to stop exit altogether.m pretends to be in favour of a second referendum but that is only a means to an. this is a much to stop brexit and reverse the decision the majority talk into thousand 16. parliament is still in a deadlock. it is still not clear how or exactly when the uk will leave the eu. ——

2016. earlier, ian explained more about reports tonight that theresa may is under growing pressure from her own party. i have been speaking to senior conservative mps and some of them have told me that they have told her to herface have told me that they have told her to her face that she needs to stand down or to her face that she needs to stand down 01’ announce to her face that she needs to stand down or announce she will stand down soon after her deal is passed if she is to have any hope of controlling the agenda next week. one idea is to resign as party leader but stays on as prime minister so a leadership contest as prime minister so a leadership co ntest ca n as prime minister so a leadership contest can be announce. 0thers as prime minister so a leadership contest can be announce. others say this will not be enough to get the unpopular deal through so she may as well do again. across party mps are pushing for the deal to be debated, likely to happen on wednesday. they think backbenchers mps could win. we

could see the prime minister still in office but not really empower. ——in power. kurdish—led forces have held a victory ceremony in northern syria, to mark what they say is the "total elimination" of the islamic state group's self—declared caliphate. at its height, is controlled large parts of syria and iraq, imposing its rule on almost eight million people across the two countries. but they ended up controlling only the town of baghouz and now that last stronghold too has fallen to us—backed syrian democratic forces. our correspondent aleem maqbool sent this report. it is the syrian democratic forces who raise their flag over baghuz today, the final slither of territory recaptured from the islamic state group. undoubtedly a moment of triumph for the local forces who have sacrificed so much in the fight. "we are gathered here, sons of this great country," says kino gabriel from the sdf, "to confirm our total victory

over the islamic state group and their fall." the land has been won back after a major offensive earlier this week with syrian forces advancing on the ground backed by air strikes from the us—led coalition. in the end, this is what the so—called caliphate was reduced to. un—used suicide vests, crumpled flags and the squalid remains of a pitiful camp. and many of the militants who exerted brutal and murderous control over huge swathes of iraq and syria have either been killed or captured. both throughout, while marking the significance of the achievement have been the voices of caution. we still have much work to do to achieve an enduring defeat of isis. we've been clear that the campaign is not over. isis or daesh remains a significant

threat in the region to the united states and our partners and allies. well, there have been parades and cavalcades in towns and cities up and down this region at the news. but it has all come at a huge cost to people here. and while they celebrate now, they also recognise thatjust because the territory has been taken back from the islamic state group, that doesn't mean the fight is over. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in qamishli in northern syria. a teenage boy has been stabbed to death in isleworth, in west london. the 17 year—old was given first aid but died at the scene. following the attack, police in the area have been given increased powers to stop and search anyone they suspect of carrying a knife. ben ando reports. inch by inch, brick by brick. searching for clues and answers, after another teenager

is stabbed to death in london. the youngster involved, who's not yet been formally named, was with friends in nearby syon park. police say a car pulled up, a gang of men got out and gave chase. the youngster ran into this residential estate and was stabbed by the front door of one of the blocks. one woman said at least one of the gang was wearing a mask. the first police officers to get here say they found the boy still alive, barely conscious and unable to speak. they carried out cpr and tried to save his life, but they were unable to, and he died at the scene. in isleworth, shocked residents woke up to the news that london's stabbing crime wave has reached their doorsteps. we just came down and they said there'd been a serious assault, and obviously woke up this morning and it was a fatal stabbing. when i looked out and heard the screaming and saw the lads run away, whatever, i did think, i was worried for how my wife would have been if she was out there at the time.

i wouldn't expect this, especially in that type of estate, so, yeah, we are alla bit shocked and terrified about our children and ourselves. recently, the government responded by pledging £100 million to the police to pay for extra officers and for multi—agency violence reduction units, based on schemes that halved similar crimes in scotland. in this part of west london, the police have been given temporary additional powers to stop and search. those have now been extended to early tomorrow morning as the investigation into the capital's latest naive killing continues. knife killing continues. ben ando, bbc news, west london. an operation is underway tonight to rescue more than 1,000 passengers from a cruise ship in trouble off the coast of norway, a large number of which, according to search and resuce, from the united states and britain. the first hundred passengers have been airlifted to safety, but he vessel is being buffeted by thirty foot waves

and gale force winds. daniel mckerrall reports. off the coast of norway, the viking sky, a cruise liner with 1300 people on board, began drifting towards rocks after engine failure. these were on board, passengers clutching anything that was not tied down. below deck, hundreds of passengers were waiting to be evacuated. there are 1300 people on board and rescue helicopters have begun lifting them from the ship. translation: they have started to evacuate. there are hundreds of people on board, both passengers and crew. they have been flown to the mainland, about two kilometres from the ship. eight people have been treated for minor injuries but no—one is said to have been

seriously hurt. it was quite scary. the rescue operation will continue into the night but, unfortunately, so will the storm. in the united states there are calls for the full publication of the report into alleged collusion between russia and donald trump's presidential campaign. special counsel robert mueller submitted his long awaited report yesterday, after a two year inquiry. republicans claim it vindicates president trump. here's our north america correspondent chris buckler. for months, the special counsel robert mueller has been investigating the election of a president to the fury of donald trump. but, as he made his way to the golf course today, mr trump's mood seems to have improved considerably. it is now known that robert mueller has not recommended any further indictments and the president's supporters seem

to be celebrating and taking that as backing for what he has always claimed. there was no collusion, no obstruction, everybody knows it. everybody knows it is a hoax, one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated on this country. during the 22 months of robert mueller‘s investigation, there were prosecutions and convictions. traitor, traitor. of among others, the president's former campaign chairman paul manafort, the former national security adviser michael flynn, and mr trump's one—time personal lawyer, michael cohen. but none of those cases directly address the key questions of whether the president tried to obstructjustice and whether russia colluded with the trump campaign in the 2016 election. i don't know what's in the report, nobody does. democrats already have their eyes on 2020 and those out campaigning to become mr trump's opponents in next year's presidential election have a new rallying cry. that report needs to be made public.

the american people have a right and a need to know. the decision about what is released rests in the hands of this man, the us attorney general. bill barr went to work this morning with the intention of publishing the main findings of the report before the end of the weekend. but while the special counsel's probe is at an end, other investigations are still taking place and democrats are determined to push their own inquiries here at congress. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. one of britain's most wanted fugitives has been arrested in romania. 31—year—old shane 0'brien was put on interpol‘s worldwide most wanted list, with a £50,000 reward offered for information leading to his arrest and prosecution. he is suspected of the murder of 21—year—old josh hanson, who was stabbed to death in a bar in hillingdon in west london in 2015. the mother of libby squire, the hull student whose body was found in the humber estuary

on wednesday, has paid an emotional tribute to her "beautiful girl" and said no family should have to endure what hers has gone through. the 21—year—old's body was found, 7 weeks after she went missing, following a night out on the 1st of february. humberside police is treating her death as a potential homicide. writing on facebook, libby's mother, lisa squire said she'd lost one of the most precious things in her life, and that her heart is broken. the headlines on bbc news: hundreds of thousands of people march through central london demanding another brexit referendum. american—backed kurdish forces declare victory over islamic state after capturing the group's last remaining stronghold in eastern syria. police in west london launch a murder investigation, following the fatal stabbing of a teenager last night.

again. david mcgoldrick came closest to breaking the deadlock but no cigar. the grass may be thick, but the coach's frustrations were real. a wake—up call from the visitors, this from a team ranked 19ath in the world. but relief for the travelling fans, jeff hendrick with his fifth international goal, enough to settle the nerves and take three points back to dublin, but perhaps not enough to settle nerves about their euro 2020 prospects. aaron ramsey will miss wales's opening european qualifier against slovakia tomorrow. he's failed to recover from a leg injury and has returned to arsenal for treatment. wales warmed up for the match with a 1—0 win over trinidad and tobago on wednesday. the defending premiership champions saracens beat harlequins 27—20 at the london stadium. it keeps them second in the table. newcastle falcons beat sale sharks at stjames park 22—17. toby flood scored their only try with tane takulua adding 17 points with the boot. their third win in a row aids their relegation battle. there were wins too

it could have been a lot worse, like they could have thrown something and lighted a fire and run off. for the muslim community here in balsall heath it is an unpleasant reminder of increasing islamophobia and hatred on the streets of birmingham. the behaviour is wrong, it should not happen and the hatred they have in their hearts is not right. it is just two days since the witton islamic centre had its windows smashed in. we have never seen anything of this scale before. one of five mosques to be vandalised on thursday. jawad khan is chairman of the birmingham council of mosques and says it has frightened people. we have seen in friday prayers there was less numbers. it is more the younger, inbetween sort of ages, that attend that are capable. but the vulnerable stay at home and gave this week a miss, especially the friday prayer. a man arrested yesterday in connection with thursday's attacks has been detained under the mental health act.

surgery a week later. she is doted on by everyone but she is just thriving and it's all thanks to the specialists and all this technology. like i said, it's honestly amazing what they do. it's life—saving. if a routine pregnancy scan identifies a problem then women are sent for a detailed mri scan and a series of pictures of the heart are taken. sophisticated computer software pieces those images together and then builds an unprecedented 3d image of the heart. look at this. a model of the foetal heart made from this technology. about eight in every thousand babies in the uk is born with a congenital heart defect. and this research is enabling doctors to look at them in incredible detail. and importantly, it's improving care for babies. it allows us to have beautiful 3d images of the abnormality so we have complete certainty and plan ahead for what treatment is needed — what's the operation

that we need to do? that really helps the parents to have the right support to know what's going to happen. but it also really helps the babies because they have the right operation at the right time and have the best outcomes. violet—vienna was one of the first to benefit from these 3d scans and the researchers hope the technology that helped her will soon become routine. james gallagher, bbc news. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewersjo phillips and nigel nelson, that's coming up after the headlines at 11:30. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris.
