10:30 pm
in a world in which data is the most powerful commodity, the question of who owns and controls our data needs to be given much deeper thought. at the moment, a few — mostly californian — companies are setting the terms of the debate. amol rajan, bbc news. with all the sport now, here's karthi gna nasegaram at the bbc sport centre. good evening. the olympic marathon champion, eliud kipchoge, has become the first athlete to run a marathon in under two hours. the kenyan beat that mark by 20 seconds in vienna, but it won't be known as an official world record, as ade adedoyin explains. 15 seconds... eliud kipchoge came to vienna with his sights set on one thing. running the quickest marathon ever. and from the word go, he was on track and well ahead of pace. the detailed planning was paying off. some 41 pacemakers have been employed by the organisers to be
10:31 pm
part of this challenge and every time they go past this point near the finishing line, they rotate. just one of the many steps that have been taken by the organisers to ensure that kipchoge ducks under that two—hour mark. special shoes propelled the kenyan further forward with each pace. they calculated the optimum course and weather, taking into account his biorhythms and even projected a laser onto the road. but all this means it can't be ratified as a world record by athletics‘ world governing body. he's pointing. "come on", he says... as the finish line approached, the pacemakers stepped away and kipchoge strode into history. into the final 20 seconds, eliud kipchoge... looks over his shoulder. 1:59:40 the unofficial time. i'm the happiest man to run under two hours. in order to inspire many people. to tell people that no human is limited. you can do it. i expect more of that, for all of the world to run under two hours.
10:32 pm
already a great athlete with world and olympic titles, kipchoge will now be remembered forever. ade adedoyin, bbc news, vienna. saint helens are super league champions for the seventh time. they beat salford red devils by 23 points to six in today's grand final at old trafford. salford were huge underdogs, trying to become only the fifth side to lift the trophy, but st helens were simply too strong. adam wild reports. never has a grand final brought such a contrast. st helens, the most dominant side super league has ever seen. salford, the most remarkable story super league has ever seen. but the romance of the underdog counts a little when faced with the brilliance of saints. peerless this season, now piercing position. morgan knowles opened the scoring. when zeb taia added another, moments later, saints it seemed were on the march. it's been nearly half a century since salford won the title. reawakened here momentarily byjake bibby. but it was only temporary.
10:33 pm
mark percival chasing his own kick over the line, touching down, and now st helens within touching distance. tommy makinson‘s drop goal in the game's closing moments the final fabulous flourish on a fantastic st helens season. just by reaching the final, salford have upset the game's established order. that order has now been at least partially restored. st helens have been the best team all year round. they've now proved that on the game's biggest stage. they are super league champions once more. adam wild, bbc news, at old trafford. ireland have booked their place in the quarterfinals of rugby union's world cup after beating samoa by 47 points to five. ireland's bundee aki was sent off in the 29th minute, but seven tries — including two from johnny sexton — gave them a convincing victory. their opponents in the last eight will be scotland orjapan, but that match could still be cancelled because of typhoon hagibis in yokohama.
10:34 pm
i think there is a bit more uncertainty this time. the last time we played france, we knew we would be playing argentina, there was some certainty in what we could do to prepare for that. it is a bit awkward because we have to wait until the final game in the pool and find out then exactly who we may be playing. great britain have claimed a gold, silver and bronze medal today at the world gymnastics championships. olympic champion max whitlock regained the pommel title — his third world gold. becky downie took silver on the uneven bars, while her younger sister, ellie, got the bronze on the vault. there's more on the bbc sport website, including news from the republic of ireland's goalless draw against georgia in their euro 2020 qualifier. that's it. from me and the team, have a very good night.
10:35 pm
hello, once again, we'll update you on the week's weather prospects in the british isles and a second. first, an update on typhoon hagibis, which, through the course of sunday, should take the very worst of its conditions away from the main islands of japan, but not before it's delivered in some areas in excess of 900 millimetres of rain, nearly a metre of rain. winds in excess of 100 mph. and while this weather system is still around, dangerous waves and still the risk of landslides, too. coming a little bit closer to home, saturday was not very sparkling, to say the very least, across southern counties of both england and wales. all thanks to this area of cloud. a waving weather front which, during the course of sunday, should make some progress, both to the north and to the east. such that eventually i think we will see some sunshine returning to parts of wales on the south—west of england. and all the while, northern and north—western parts of scotland
10:36 pm
and northern ireland should be in for a pretty decent sort of day, temperatures again, nothing to write home about. tops of around 15 or 16, if you are lucky. eventually, the whole system begins to move its way, it would appear, off into the north sea. but here's the rub. come monday, the trailing portion of the front is still trailing perilously close to the south—east quarter of the british isles. at the same time, it will introduce another feature here, further to the west. so it may well be that we see this rain, and there is some doubt at the moment, coming a little further towards the north and west across the south—east quarter of the british isles. and all the while we got that more westerly system really pepping up the rain across the west of wales, south—west of england and, eventually, northern ireland and western scotland. come tuesday, this is the point in which we see the last of that wriggling weather front. another one out towards the west, rather dying a death. the northern portion is still there to provide a fairly dreich old day across the western side of scotland. elsewhere, it's not a bad day. once the cloud begins to break up,
10:37 pm
there's not too much in the way a breeze. a bit of dry weather around. a half decent day if you've got a plan for the outdoors. temperature, if you're lucky, round about the mid—teens also, but do make the most of it, especially so across western areas initially on wednesday because we have another set of atlantic fronts, spreading in some heavy pulses of rain at times. initially in the west, as i say, but at least it is quite a mobile system. i think having introduced some rain, it won't hang around all day in any one location. a pretty damp old end to the day across the north—east of scotland. drier, brighter skies to finish off the day across the west. this pattern becomes really quite well established as we take you through the middle part of the weekend on into thursday. a big area of low pressure dominating the north—west of the british isles. swinging bands of showery rain at times across northern and western areas, trying to make a little bit of progress. but i think again, on thursday,
10:38 pm
generally speaking, the further east you are the drier and finer that the day will be. all the while, those temperatures come at this stage, not very far from the mid—teens also. the secondary lows, as we call them, swing through the british isles as we move towards the weekend. then a little edge of high pressure, just for a while those winds will turn into the north—west. so what, you say? so it may well be that towards next weekend we have that north—westerly, the colours drain away and it looks as though we are going to end up with something a little bit cooler and brighter until it slips back to something, again, more mild.
10:39 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejoe twyman, who's director of the polling company, deltapoll, and the author and journalist, yasmin alibhai—brown.
10:40 pm
many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the observer says support is growing for a second referendum amid fears over borisjohnson‘s brexit policy. meanwhile, the mail on sunday says rebel tory mps are planning to force the prime minister to delay brexit — even if he wins commons support for a deal. the sunday telegraph has an exclusive article by jacob rees—mogg — in which the commons leader calls for compromise to help mrjohnson reach a deal. the paper also hails "superman" eliud kipchoge, the first person to run a marathon in under two hours. the sunday times reports that boris has given european leaders a stark choice — help me get a deal through or britain leaves without one on october 31st. the sunday express says boris wants to make britain the greatest nation on earth — but he must fend off what the paper says is a last—ditch plot to foil brexit. so, basically, brexit on most of the
10:41 pm
front pages. we are going to kick off there. but it is the article by jacob rees—mogg on the front of the telegraph that we will start with. yasmin, do you want to go? it is interesting, it is so no jacob rees—mogg, who has been part of the erg and pretty in —— uncompromising, he has written a piece for the telegraph and he has become very conciliatory at the moment, which is interesting and surprising. did you not find that the tone is different? we must compromise, we must allow him to do this, this is the best deal. i think what this is all about is trying to position the prime minister's deal in the eyes of the public, because most people out there, most people at home, won't be
10:42 pm
awaiting the details of the deal, and reading it very closely and making notes on it, instead, they will be taking their cues from political leaders, from journalists, from people that they trust. having someone from people that they trust. having someone like jacob rees—mogg, so hesitant and subsequently so against supporting theresa may's deal, as more details came out... he was allowed to get her, my god. from the beginning, before the details even became clear, he said he wasn't sure about this, and then no, definitely not. to reverse that situation and say, well, maybe, perhaps, and further down the line, yes, we are supporting it, iassume it is further down the line, yes, we are supporting it, i assume it is to influence the public's perception about this, particularly when it comes to this issue of a hard border in northern ireland, whether there will be a border in the irish sea. it's very interesting, we have all
10:43 pm
looked at this extraordinary thing, everybody was so het up over the no—deal possibility, everybody within parliament, outside parliament, politicians, commentators. i wonder if that was flagged up so that whatever he comes back with, if it is a kind of deal, we will think it is a better thing, and what a clever chap he is. i think there is a kind of... i'm very cynical when rees—mogg starts talking in these terms, but maybe that was the attention all along. i ama that was the attention all along. i am a conspiracy theorist, call me mad if you will. i wouldn't call you mad. asi mad if you will. i wouldn't call you mad. as i say, i think all of this is about positioning. we hear time and again about the spartans, how they simply advanced, well, they may be advancing a backwards direction. they call benn‘s act the surrender
10:44 pm
act, the language they are still using, and you see it in the pro—brexit papers, the fight is still flaming away, and then there is this thing being offered. still flaming away, and then there is this thing being offeredm still flaming away, and then there is this thing being offered. it is a nobody's interests to make this look anything other than extremely difficult, not borisjohnson, not jacob rees—mogg, not anyone in europe, the opposition, either side of the border in northern ireland, everybody wants to look like they fought until the very last minute, then magnanimously, politically... talking about over the waters, the dup, whatare talking about over the waters, the dup, what are they thinking? the way that boris was thinking about it, it was like something was happening, but the dup was where it was when
10:45 pm
they did the deal with the tory party. they are a stubborn bunch, actually. lets turn to the observer, mentioned on the front of the telegraph, but like you said, also in the observer. northern ireland must stay in a full uk customs union, presumably to nobody's surprise, they say. ten dup mps, on which the government relies on for its pseudo— majority. obviously it is well short of that now. how much money? 10 billion? it was extraordinary. will those ten dup mps,11 extraordinary. will those ten dup mp5, 11 if extraordinary. will those ten dup mps, 11 if you count kate hoey who always vote with them for reasons i don't understand, if you count those mps, and wonder if they will compromise on whatever the deal
10:46 pm
turns out to be, or will they change their mind, stick to their guns? there is a wedge between the labour mps who are going to support boris johnson. it could be the case that enough people are supportive of a deal, opponents of no deal, and they wa nt deal, opponents of no deal, and they want to get something through to ensure that the ten dup mps are not needed. that is an enormous gamble on what is described as super saturday. super saturday, we got that look forward to. that is when the commons is sitting for the first time since the falklands war, it will be very super. that is next weekend. and then we have the erg, saying they are going to wait to see how the dup vote. even within the erg, there is a spectrum. i am sure there will be people in the erg who
10:47 pm
will not expect, if boris has just brought back aspects of the may deal, they will not go for it.|j think if it looks like the deal is going to go through, i think a lot of dominoes will fall and people get into line. if it looks like it won't, there is no way those die—hard opponents will support it, because it is in their interests to say no. have you had any indication, joe, through delta pole, about the feeling for a second referendum? there is support, depends on the question you ask, if you ask about a people's vote or ask if we should revisit the referendum that we have already had and everything in between. there is support for a second referendum, but by no means overwhelming. the key question is one of the question, what question would that referendum ask? a simple repeat of remainer leave as we did la st repeat of remainer leave as we did last time would not work. a three—way question would raise all
10:48 pm
sorts of difficulties, what if the winning option only gets 40% of the public supporting it? yes, there is public supporting it? yes, there is public supporting it? yes, there is public support for it, there is no doubt that we may potentially see 1 million people marching next week again. but it's by no means... also, one of the questions is what if, and iam one of the questions is what if, and i am absolutely pro eu, if my side wins, but by the same margin, then what do we do? all of this correlates with which side you support. if you supported remain, the likelihood is that you support a second referendum. people supporting a second referendum are not doing it because they are massive fans of representative democracy. unlike the lazy, ridiculous way that cameron did the first one, the terms, the meaning, what it was meant to do, it
10:49 pm
needs to be better defined. all right, we will up that point in the 11.30. let's stay on the front of the observer. britain failed families over the beatles trial, acting like a banana republic? this is the isis beatles, as they we re this is the isis beatles, as they were unfairly referred to, accused of crimes, acting for isis, i believe in syria. they have now been taken to military custody by the us. the suggestion is that the uk are not pursuing charges against them, so not pursuing charges against them, so they are not tried in this country and they are just left to seek trial in virginia.|j country and they are just left to seek trial in virginia. i think this raises... it is only two people, but
10:50 pm
we are now talking about a huge number of people from this country and other eu countries, too, that are stuck in this place, where i don't know what's going to happen to them, are they just don't know what's going to happen to them, are theyjust going to rot in a cell? we need to make up our minds if there is a rule of law and take some responsibility. i talked to rwandans. i think the west has a lot to learn about that. some of the worst killers the world has ever known was reabsorbed into communities. there is no doubt it is usually politically problematic. they should be tried and punished them absolutely. what are we going to do about babies and orphans, we
10:51 pm
just going to leave them? definitely heading to the united states. let's go back to the telegraph. all of the things that i going to be laid out in the much delayed and discussed queen's speech coming up. the headline is about the rail franchise system, since its inception under margaret thatcher, it has been a real mess for subsequent governments to deal with. we have tried taking railtrack, as it was, back into a network rail, the franchises that actually run the trains are still in private hands. what the prime minister has suggested is a model based on performance and reliability. it
10:52 pm
means nobody is going to argue with the idea of reliability. nobody is going to say i think my train is too punctual, and i find it disconcerting. one of these things that has been announced, along with the withdrawal agreement bill, of course. laws to ensure faster access to medicine. yasmin and i were discussing this earlier, photographic identity at polling stations. what is that about? i think we are the most watched population in the western world, what is this? it is not being discussed, we don't know why they are doing it, i hope there are lots of groups that stand up and mps that fight this. why should we be watched when we put our boat into a box?|j when we put our boat into a box?” think a lot of people would agree thatjust turning think a lot of people would agree that just turning up and saying hello, my name isjohn round...
10:53 pm
you have to show your address. you don't have to show your address. it's not a perfect system, nobody can agree on what to replace it with. i think photographic identification, given that quite a bit of the population doesn't have a passport, i'm not sure that is the answer. i think it is wrong, passport, i'm not sure that is the answer. ithink it is wrong, power gone mad again. let turn to the sunday times. a picture we have all seen a sunday times. a picture we have all seen a lot today, eliud kipchoge of kenya, what did you make of this?” think it's incredible, i have had the pleasure of watching elite level middle and long distance. do you run? not at all, really, not at all. but i can really appreciate when watching, the talent, it is often said that good sportsmen make it look easy, great sportsmen make it look easy, great sportsmen make it look impossible. when you watch it live and see how fast they are running for a really long time, it's
10:54 pm
incredible. in 1954, roger bannister we nt incredible. in 1954, roger bannister went under the four—minute mile. there were debates about whether it was even there were debates about whether it was even possible for a human to achieve. and he has run basically four and achieve. and he has run basically fourand a achieve. and he has run basically four and a half minute miles 26 times ina four and a half minute miles 26 times in a row. it's astonishing. we are going to end it there. there are so many other points that we need to revisit in the 11.30. yasmin and joe, we will see you in 35 minutes. in the meantime, all of the papers are online, on the bbc news website, seven days a week. bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you joe and yasmin. we'll all be back for that second paper review in about 40 minutes. i'll be back at the top of the hour. see you then.
10:55 pm
good evening. the unsettled theme to the weather continues through the rest of the weekend and much of the week ahead, too. low pressure driving our weather. this was the picture in anglesey early on on saturday. some brighter spells, but some heavy showers around. lots of rainbows out there through the day on saturday. so, this is what we've got, this weather front sitting across southern parts of the uk. it will be pushing its way gradually further north as we move through the day tomorrow. rain across much of southern england through the rest of this evening and overnight with that rain pushing north through the early hours of sunday come across much of wales and into parts of north england as well. scotland and northern ireland, clearer and drier as we move through the night, just one or two showers across northern scotland. but we could well see temperatures not far off freezing, particularly across eastern scotland. a few mist and fog patches and perhaps a touch of frost here. but it's further south that we have got that weather front which will be pushing its way north through the day on sunday and east as well.
10:56 pm
a spell of wet weather in charge for many parts through the day on sunday. it won't be raining everywhere. through the morning, sunshine across much of scotland and northern ireland after any mist and fog clears. england and wales will see the rain and perhaps a drier spell of weather in the south—east before the next patch of rain moves its way in. that rain will linger for northern england, south—west and south—eastern scotland as well. those winds not such a feature. the wind is much lighter than they have been in recent days. and there will be a bit more sunshine working in from the west later in the afternoon. temperatures across the country somewhere between 12 to 17 degrees, not far off average for the time of year. the new working week starts with more frontal systems again working their way in from the south—west. not everywhere will see the rain on monday but we may well see another spell of rain moving into southern and south—eastern parts of england. this batch of rain then pushing into parts of northern ireland, perhaps wales and south—west of england are seeing some of that rain, too. generally, the further north and east you are, you are more likely to stay dry on monday with a bit
10:57 pm
of sunshine here and there. lifting temperatures to around something like 11 to 17 degrees or so. could be quite soggy for much of the day down towards east anglia and the south east. the unsettled theme continues through much of the week ahead, more blustery showers. the driest day of the week will be on tuesday and temperatures generally in the mid teens. goodbye for now.
10:58 pm
10:59 pm
11:00 pm
this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 11:00: turkish forces continue to strike targets in north—eastern syria, on the fourth day of their offensive against kurdish forces. two people are killed, as typhoon hagibis, the biggest storm to hitjapan in 60 years, makes landfall near tokyo. a moment of sporting history as kenyan athlete, eliud kipchoge, becomes the first person to run a marathon in under 2 hours. iam the i am the happiest man to run under two hours, to inspire people, to tell people that you can do it. two members of the public
