the eu. and neither does the law compel me to do so. the prime minister must now comply with the law. he can no longer use the threat ofa no law. he can no longer use the threat of a no deal crashed out to blackmail members to support his sell—out deal. a letter requesting another delay has been sent to the eu, the prime minister has chosen not to sign it. the european council president donald tusk says he has received the letter and will now start consulting eu leaders leaders on how to react. as mps debated in parliament, thousands of demonstrators marched through central london, calling for a referendum on any brexit deal.

another interesting day in westminster and that's on a saturday! hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are martin lipton, chief sports reporter at the sun and former conservative advisor, mo hussein. probably glad he isn't there at the moment! many of tomorrow's front pages are already in — and it's probably no surprise to you that all of them lead on today's events in parliament. the mail on sunday accuse parliament of being a "house of fools". saying that instead of the nation starting to heal after brexit, mps are delaying leaving the european union. the independent online focuses on the people's vote that took place outside parliament. it reports that a million marched, on the day that made the prime minister listen. the sunday telegraph concentrates on the prime minister's refusal to sign the letter to the eu requesting an extension, whilst asking eu leaders to stick to the october the 31st deadline. the sunday express asks the question, why won't they let us leave? the paper says there was outrage as parliament voted to obstruct the prime minsiter‘s brexit deal. the observer covers both the action in the commons,

and the protests outside it. it says that the prime minister suffered a humiliating defeat in parliament, whilst a million protested through wesminster. so, good evening. let's have a look. shall we begin with the sunday telegraph, which actually, compared to other papers, goes into a lot of detail and it is done well to get this in by this time. a lot of this has only been developing in the last hour also but it reveals, as we understand it at the bbc, that he sent a photocopy of the mps request to delay brexit and did not sign it. and then wrote a separate letter. not one, not to, but three letters it appears has gone, the basic requirement of the benn act, to ask foran requirement of the benn act, to ask for an extension or a delay, without a three—month extension to the end of january without being signed.

then there is a letter from tim barrow, our representative at the eu, saying it is nothing to do with the parliament has full state upon us the parliament has full state upon us and then another letter from johnson saying it is deeply corrosive for their to be a delay, asking the eu to ignore the other letter. so, we continue with this eternal round of madness! there was a belief earlier this week that we might actually have a finite decision, a departure date, we had an agreement and a deal struck, surprisingly in many peoples views, at the end of last week. your paper and other papers were asking whether he had pulled it off? it's a reasonable question to ask. a lot of people were doubting whether there was intention to do a deal. a deal was intention to do a deal. a deal was struck and parliament has, in its wisdom, decided to keep things hanging on. it is up to eu leaders

who have to go back to brussels, they cannot do this on a video call, they've got to meet in brussels. it will take a while, there are a lot of european leaders together in one room and they have to decide do they getan room and they have to decide do they get an extinction, and if so, for how long for? and how many conditions are attached to it. we have marched up this hill twice now. the eu have agreed a deal with the government twice for it to full in parliament. people on the eu side would rightly be thinking, we know full we ll would rightly be thinking, we know full well what parliament does not want. we have heard it time and again. we need to know what parliament wants and where this parliamentary sweet spot is that will land a deal sol parliamentary sweet spot is that will land a deal so i think there will land a deal so i think there will be a lot of caution in the eu. not a blank check for a new extension but it will come with a condition about where is a forward movement here. the sunday telegraph quotes emmanuel macron among others, saying i do not think we will grant

further delays. a lot of that was said last week as well. but isn't theissue said last week as well. but isn't the issue for the eu that they don't wa nt the issue for the eu that they don't want the uk to leave the european union without a deal as well? it isn't an interest. would want some sort of extinction? it is also possible, given the comments of oliver letwin which tabled the amendment, he would vote for the deal and by next week when the withdrawal agreement comes back to the commons that it will still be voted through and would allow us to leave on the 31st of october but who knows? there seems to be, the only thing people agree on, is what they don't like. nobody seems to agree on what they do like. the government is face on, pulling the country out of the eu now, there is an argument, a fairone, the eu now, there is an argument, a fair one, that was voted for. we had a referendum 3.5 years ago now, where we voted 52—48 in favour of

leaving the eu. and we are still here. depending on where you were stirred, oliver letwin is either a hero or an absolute menace when it comes to brexit. there is a brilliant cartoon there that sums up the blame game. was it oliver letwin in the pipe —— with the pipe in the life medical library? it is from cluedo. the frustration. we can see those frustrations there, and the flag—waving. the peoples of to protesters gathering in parliament square, taking their anger to the step of westminster and mps voting today, in huge numbers. it is getting angry among the public now. there's definitely anger. it really

is, it is getting quite nasty and adversarial. we saw pictures of mps from governments on the opposite side being hounded. jacob rees—mogg leaving with his son. kids being dragged into it. there is still a case where you can disagree politically but be perfectly civil towards each other. that used to be the case. we have lost that. and we need to go back to it because this is descending in the wrong direction. this picture is powerful but i do, you know, i would say that this is in london with all of the people who turned up for this. i don't think it necessarily captures the mood here. this is very much the march of the remainers and they have every right to voice their opinion but also, according to the 2016

referendum, more people took a diversion view. and worryingly, it is irrevocably split. it could be 20 01’ is irrevocably split. it could be 20 or 30 years before the rift is sold. it is on all of them. and boris johnson does not want to negotiate ona johnson does not want to negotiate on a date. it is inevitable there will be a delay. the daily mail headline is the house of. the today britain could have begun to heal after the brexit purgatory but instead posturing mps subjecting us to more of this. there is the argument that oliver letwin was doing the responsible thing. he has been accused by many of allowing another delay of putting forward another delay of putting forward another delay of putting forward another delay but there are laws. there are legalities around this bill. was he safeguarding a chance

for brexit to happen? done properly and in the right time? rather than rushed through because of the october the 31st? doubt i use the term, backstop, they were looking foran term, backstop, they were looking for an insurance policy. this is ultimately a lack of trust. there is i'io ultimately a lack of trust. there is no trust between mps within the conservative party, they do not trust the prime minister or the er g to deliver on what they said they would deliver. this has not been helped by the missteps, ithink, in parading parliament in sacking mps who have been loyal for so long. i think that is all to do with this. they were trying to find a way to ensure that you could not arrive at i'io ensure that you could not arrive at no deal. now, equally, you can understand the frustrations people have. you wake up thinking, it is super saturday, then it is set back saturday and then a damp squib by the end of it. you can definitely see both sides. if they do support

the deal, i'm not a big fan of these name and shame on the front pages. some of these people have voted to leave the eu three times, unlike people in the current cabinet and even the prime minister. i do not think it is a case of them wanting to thwart brexit but the mechanism they have used is being used by others in parliament who want to stop brexit and jumping on the bandwagon. the initial point of this was to ensure that this is not just a way to know deal through the back door. i'm surprised none of the papers picked up on what theresa may had to say. she has been quiet since she left office. she stood up in the house of commons today. she posed the thought, did we set up this referendum with no intention upon delivering the result if it was for brexit, or did we? she was accusing parliament that they actually had no intention of delivering brexit and

110w intention of delivering brexit and now is the time. and there it is quite clear that certain people would rather there was no brexit. with that not be more damaging to the health and wealth of the country? irrespective of one views, there was a vote. you can argue on whether it was legitimate or not. where people sufficiently informed? you can always ask that question. and the daily express asks why they won't let us leave. a lot of chat about this in pubs tonight. and people who talk to you are not in the westminster bubble and in politics. switched on today, and they probably switched off very quickly and have lost interest in terms of the people elected to represent us 3.5 years later, and they cannot come to a conclusion. not only that, but they keep on

telling us the things they don't wa nt telling us the things they don't want and they cannot get to the next pa rt of want and they cannot get to the next part of the equation, the way forward. i think that is frustrating and it leads to the election and i think people are circling the prime minister who probably, the fact that this has been lost, they are not happy about it because they can pitch it as people versus parliament. the prime minister, against all odds, has a deal. you are stopping him and that would be what an election is made up of. every party is positioning themselves. do you know what labours position is? i have no idea. they are getting there. we would campaign against it even if we voted for it. it isa against it even if we voted for it. it is a shambles. at least the lib dems have a policy where they agree. therein lies the biggest issue of

all. there are as many factions there as there are in the tory party. lib dems and neighbours want to put some say back to the people. the conservatives want to drive it through. it will be a general election about the outcome of brexit and that is not what general elections are for. exactly, you will have seen, as we all will have, the prime minister and government talking about other things. the nhs, more police and better education. these are bread—and—butter issues that have a calculated matter. people aren't stupid, they know what is going on. the overriding issue will still be brexit. but the dividing lines have been set. the conservative party got a deal, even though people thought they couldn't and everyone else is trying to block it. over to the people. f around the brea kfast ta ble it. over to the people. f around the breakfast table tomorrow morning you do want to not bring about brexit,

you have to turn to the back pages. on any normal weekend it would have been the picture on the front page. and england rugby player, whether owen farrell orjonny may or kyle sinckler, whoever, celebrating their incredible, fantastic and outstanding victory over australia. this headline sums it up. the most fearsome machine in rugby. england have played them three times previously in world cups. not a great record. the semifinal, as we have played them in 1995. they don't have played them in 1995. they don't havejonah have played them in 1995. they don't have jonah lomu this have played them in 1995. they don't havejonah lomu this time, thankfully. but they do have the barrett brothers and all of those fantastic players. england have to be even better than they were today to beat the all blacks but they smashed australia four tries to one and it was a great performance. nice to read a positive headline in the

sports pages after a week of racism. not that it has ever gone away and it has come back again tonight. horrendous story, this fa cup game against yeovil town and haringey borough, the yeovil players walked off because the goalkeeper was racially abused by travelling fans. the fa have to start doing something. it shows why, when condemning and being angry about the treatment of the england players in bulgaria, they pointed out that we've got our own problems. we have to get our house in order. we've got our own problems. we have to get our house in orderlj reported on this four panorama years ago at the 2012 euros championships, it's about time they started banning countries from tournaments, notjust banning their supporters. it's the only message you can get across strongly by doing it. it has gone on forfar strongly by doing it. it has gone on for far too strongly by doing it. it has gone on forfar too long. we will do this again in about an hour. thank you for taking us through the papers. martin lipton and mo hussein

will be back at 11.30 for another look at the papers, and don't forget you can see the front pages online on the bbc news website. thank you mo hussein and martin lipton, for now. good evening. it has been a wet october right across the country. scenes like this were welcome first thing this morning. hampshire had over seven hours of sunshine. there was some rain and some of it was quite persistent. in parts of edinburgh we had 3a millimetres of rain in 2a hours. as you can see, it sank through the scottish borders into the north of england in the last few hours. this area of low pressure, and the weather front associated with it, will drift into the north sea and will allow this northerly flow to develop. with clear skies, anti—rain easing away, temperatures are set to tumble through the night tonight. in actual fa ct, through the night tonight. in actual fact, we have low single figures

tomorrow morning, that could be a shock to the system. and in lincolnshire and the south—east as well. a chilly start on sunday. a dry and quiet one for many. despite the low is moving into the north sea, more cloud on the east coast. a northerly wind driving showers. a dry story, more sunshine around, particularly in sheltered southern and western areas and temperatures after that chilly start recovering 9-14d. that after that chilly start recovering 9—14d. that is on sunday. keep a close eye on the potential for light and patchy rain in the south—east on monday that the story is still high pressure building and doing nicely for the first few days of the working week. we need to keep an eye on that rain, potentially, in the south—east but elsewhere a dry story. we will have more fair weather cloud. top temperatures of nine to 16 degrees. as we move out of monday. this area of high

pressure, i'm not used to saying that! it drifts to then a continent and allows weather systems to topple across the high and produce wetter weather into the far north. as we go through the week it will turn blustery and potentially some rain into the far north of scotland. with a south—westerly wind driving in more cloud across west facing posts on tuesday, but generally speaking there is dry weather across the uk and temperatures of 12—15d the high —— west facing coasts. on wednesday and thursday, a similar story. wet weather in the far north—west. for england and wales, a drier week and better weather than we have seen of late. good night.

this is bbc news, i'm chris rogers. the headlines at 11: the prime minister is forced to send a letter to the eu requesting another brexit delay — but chooses not to sign it. the european council president donald tusk says he will now start consulting eu leaders on how to react. this comes after a special session of parliament where mps voted to ensure their backing for the new brexit deal would be withheld until all the necessary legislation passes through the commons. the ayes to the right, 322. the noes to the left, 306. i will not negotiate

a delay with the eu. and neither...
